It was nice but could use an updated stove, took a long time to bake also sliding doors for some of the bedrooms would not close all the way, but other than that, the house was great and beach location was wonderful. We all enjoyed out stay and hope to stay again sometime.
5.0
The house was wonderful for a multigenerational family with bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, and a kitchen with family room downstairs. The views were awesome out the front (Lake Erie) and the back (the bay). The backyard was very pleasant and relaxing for outdoor dining. We would book this house again.

We loved our time at the glass house! It was a great spot to take out kids and friends. We would definitely visit again.

My wife and I have stayed in a Frank Lloyd Wright home, which was spectacular. This was even better. Just as open and airy and mid-century-ish but much more comfortable. The house is so beautiful. It would be worth staying here even if you didn't want to use the two private beaches or explore the area.
5.0
The location is wonderful. Being able to sit and look out at the water is so soothing, and having that view from both front and back is a bonus. The house is very spacious and would be great for larger groups with different age ranges-- the downstairs is an ideal spot for the teens and tweens to hang out. The backyard is big and there's a firepit on the beach. There is wood already there so no worries abt having to forage or provide it (disclaimer: we did not make use of the firepit, just observed it when we checked out the back beach area). The checkout procedure was simple and there's no long list of chores for you to do, which was really nice. The only downside is the close proximity of the homes on either side which might make this location not ideal for those seeking privacy. Otherwise, i would definitely recommend this home as a top option for a visit to Sandusky.

Our family had a great time. The house gave us plenty of room to spread out and to spend time together. Both the Bay and Lake access were incredibly close offering ease of movement between the house and the water.
Our one concern was that we had difficulty contacting our host prior to our arrival.
5.0
We had a great stay at the glass house, which was a perfect location as we spent most of our time at Cedar Point right down the street! We could go in the morning, go back to the house for lunch and a nap, and head back for evening fun. Having waterfront views from the front and back of the house is spectacular. The owner was responsive and easy to work with. Check in/check out was also super easy. There was some water leaking from the upstairs showers and the owner came right over to inspect. Thanks again for a great stay!

Overall an ideal location for a birthday celebration and vacation. The house was well stocked and furnished for two families. It was wonderful to have beach access at the front and back of the property.

Great location. Kids loved the beach across the street. And great having Cedar Point so close.

We had a great stay at Glass House. The house was large enough for our family reunion. The outside areas (front and back porches and windows) could have been a bit cleaner, but the inside areas were clean on our arrival. It is well stocked with kitchen items and bath towels. The two beach areas (front and back) were great. We brought our own paddle boards as the house doesn’t provide water equipment. The kids loved the freedom to go out to the lake without having to drive! Just walk across the street to your private beach front. There is a fire pit in the back yard where we sat out at night and made smores. We had some rainy days and noticed a couple leaks in the roof. The owner was responsive to my text. We initially had a difficult time with the air conditioner. There is not a good balance of control between the top and bottom floors. But we were able to adjust to this. We also had to figure out on our own that to leave the property you have to drive through the parking lot gate of cedar point. This wasn’t a problem once we did it, but it would have been nice to know the process ahead of time. Maybe the home owner could write some instructions down for future guests. Overall we had a great time and would absolutely come back.

This property worked out well for our family of 8 adults and 5 children. Easy access to Cedar Pointe Parks. We appreciated and enjoyed the Mid Century Modern decor and history of the home. Plenty of room to spread out inside and outside (albeit no amenities included for play in yard, at Erie beach, or in house so bring your own games, beach towels, beach chairs-for lake, etc.)
Beds and bath were clean and comfortable, and fresh new towels in baths were great.
4.0
We had a nice vacation. The family enjoyed being near the lake and the bay and the close proximity to Cedar Point was also a plus. Having washers and dryers to use were also handy.
The beds and furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Our only negative comment is that it wasn't swept under the couches which easily could have been done with a broom. Seemed like the cleaning crew may have cut a few corners that day.

The house was neat, everything clean. Could not use toilet in one of the bedrooms as it was leaking into basement - was a problem that had existed prior based on basement ceiling.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this wonderful property! It was the perfect size for us and had everything we needed. The only things that could have made it better was a couple of bigger lawn chairs for bigger people as well as larger sauté type pans. Otherwise is was great!! Perfect views and beaches.

We had a wonderful fall weekend getaway at The Glass House. The views are amazing, the neighborhood is beautiful, communication with the owner was quick, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed- several pots/pans, enough plates and glasses etc, and overall everything went smoothly.

Everything went well with booking and arriving. The house is very cool with big windows on a pretty lot with a beach in back (the bay) and one across the street in front (Lake Erie). The amenities were thoughtful. There's a high chair and a pack n play which had we known we wouldn't have brought our own.
Plenty of space for everyone, 2 refrigerators. We had a great time.

This house is fantastic for a group beach vacation. The views of Lake Erie and the Bay are terrific. The private beach across the street is excellent for relaxing and swimming. The house itself is unique and beautiful. The open concept make it easy to socialize with a large group and the bedrooms accommodate many people.

We had family arrive from both Ohio and out of state - we all enjoyed the Glass House immensely. Wonderful views and easy access to both Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie. We kayaked in the bay, walked to rent jet skis at North Coast (in Cedar Point), and had a fun family gathering in the large backyard. The steps were a little tricky for both the toddler and my aging parents but otherwise everything worked out great! Would definitely recommend but book it well in advance!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unique home..owner supplied everything and then some...the beach exceeded our expectations! With 6 small children, the large backyard was perfect ! Highly Recommend.
