Lake Erie and Atlantic beaches
Reserve a lake or ocean beach stay with a travel agency in Akron, Ohio
Our office is a travel agency in Akron, Ohio, that plans drive-to beach stays at hotels and motels with their own front desks, on Lake Erie and on the Atlantic from New Jersey to North Carolina. We ask the hotel about a room, write one quote you can read, and after your written yes ask the hotel to hold the room in your name.
Figures start at $270 for two people, before lodging tax.

Geneva-on-the-Lake, OH. The beach faces 347 degrees (north northwest). On July 15 the sun rises at 59 degrees, over the water, 72 degrees to the right of straight ahead; the sun sets at 301 degrees, over the water, 46 degrees to the left of straight ahead.
Beaches sorted by the July sun
We measured which way each beach faces and where the sun rises and sets on July 15. Each beach sits in the group for the end of the day that lands more squarely ahead: sunset first, then sunrise, then the two where the sun keeps to the shore. On every Lake Erie stay both ends of the July day sit over the water. Pick a group first, then a stay from the full catalog.

Common questions before a request
Does the traveler pay the office anything?
You pay the office nothing, and there is no planning fee. The hotel pays us a commission after your stay. You pay the hotel at its own desk for the room, the taxes and any fee it charges every guest.
Is a room held when I send the form?
Sending the form costs nothing and holds nothing. We ask the hotel whether a room is open for your nights, write one quote and wait for your reply. A room is held in your name only after you say yes in writing.
Whose cancellation terms apply to the room?
The hotel sets its own cancellation terms, and the quote spells them out before you decide. After your yes the hotel may ask you directly for a card to hold the room. That stays between you and the hotel and never goes through this site.
What if my check-in is this week and something changes?
Call on a phone day if your check-in is within the next three days. On a Wednesday, write with "check-in this week" at the top of the message, and it is answered within two hours between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
