Welcome to Catawba Island and to this cute 2 bedroom vacation home that comes with access rights to private Gem Beach. The savvy purchaser will be glad to know that you can use this home as a short term rental / Airbnb / VRBO.

This permits the buyer to use this home as an investment property, or to rent it out on off weekends to help cover costs. Inside you will see that this home has been remodeled to an open concept. It contains low-maintenance nature stone flooring, a granite peninsula countertop, and cute beach decor & furnishings throughout. Furniture is all negotiable and can be included in the sale. Appliances included. The home has a gas forced air furnace as well as central air. New shed to store the lake toys. The exterior patio is a great spot for entertaining your lake guests. Easy maintenance brick exterior. The home sits on a quiet, low traffic dead-end street which is in close proximity to the beach. Dockage available for lease with membership at nearby Gem Beach Marina. This sought-after neighborhood is located near restaurants and ferry service to the Lake Erie Islands. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or an investment property, this home is move-in ready and full of character and charm. Imagine lake days on this private manicured beach with friends and family (this beach is raked and is one of the best sandy beaches you will find on Catawba). Drive your golf cart to your boat and day trip to the islands. Take your dinghy or kayaks into West Harbor or out to East Harbor State Park beach for a day of adventure. If you are searching for a vacation home, the ability to short term rent is a distinction that sets this home apart and will also help to hold re-sale value as this is desirable for vacationers and investors alike. It does not get much better than this!
