Lake Erie Beach House - 5BR, Fire Pit & Sunset Views, Sleeps 10

Your own private beach on Lake Erie — right in the backyard.

Arima Shores is a five-bedroom, three-bathroom lake house in Ashtabula with the thing no pool or lake-access pass can match: a private beach at the bottom of your own stairs, sunset views from the deck, and room for the whole group. About 100 steps — with rest landings along the way — take you from the rebuilt back deck down to the sand.

Guests rate the house 9.6/10 across 83 reviews, and repeat stays are common: families come back summer after summer.

Hosting a tournament weekend? Spire Institute is 20 minutes away, Geneva-on-the-Lake is 10 — and the whole group sleeps under one roof.

The house is a single-story ranch: every bedroom and bathroom is on the main floor, with no interior stairs to climb.

The beach, honestly
Lake Erie's water level moves with the seasons and the weather, so beach width and access can't be guaranteed for any given stay. The stairs are a real workout, with landings to rest on — and in icy weather they are not recommended. Guests with mobility concerns should ask us before booking and we'll give you a straight answer. Beach towels are provided; beach chairs and umbrellas are not, so please bring your own. Bath towels stay in the house.

In the off-season
Winter on Lake Erie is its own trip: ice formations along the shore, the fire pit, the whirlpool tub, the game room, and Geneva-on-the-Lake (wine country) 10 minutes away — without the summer crowds. Spire Institute tournaments run through the fall, winter, and spring.
