Facility Overview

Sunset Point Mobile Home Park on Kelleys Island is a scenic, open-air residential and seasonal community property situated directly along West Lakeshore Drive (633 W Lakeshore Dr). The property provides dedicated surface-level parking, lot pad spaces, and guest vehicle accommodations tailored for island residents, seasonal vacationers, and visiting guests. Because the parking footprint is an open-air surface environment directly facing Lake Erie, there are no vertical clearance limits or low ceiling overhangs. This allows full accessibility for standard passenger sedans, oversized pickup trucks, large SUVs, golf carts, boat trailers, and recreational vehicles. Driveways and vehicle bays feature flat gravel and paved transitions, allowing smooth maneuvering and turnarounds even when towing island gear.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Accessing Sunset Point requires navigating via the Lake Erie ferry system. Most vehicular traffic arrives via the Kelleys Island Ferry Boat Line departing from Marblehead, Ohio, which accommodates standard vehicles, trucks, golf carts, and bicycles. Upon debarking at the terminal on the south shore, motorists turn onto E Lakeshore Drive, continuing west past Division Street directly onto W Lakeshore Drive for a smooth, scenic five-minute drive (approx. 1.5 miles). Once on-site, ingress and egress are direct and straightforward off West Lakeshore Drive, with generous sightlines and slow-paced local traffic. Public municipal transit is not present on the island; primary transportation modes include personal vehicles, rented gas or electric golf carts, bicycles, and local private island taxi/shuttle services during peak summer weekends.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Before heading to Sunset Point, plan your vehicle transit carefully around the seasonal Kelleys Island Ferry schedule, especially during holiday weekends such as Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day when vehicle line queues at Marblehead can be long. Golf carts are fully legal and widely favored on all island public roadways; ensure any operated cart adheres to Ohio state road regulations (equipped with lights, turn signals, and seat belts). Drive cautiously at dusk along West Lakeshore Drive to watch for local wildlife, pedestrian sightseers, and golf cart traffic. If you are hauling a trailer or oversized vehicle onto the property, confirm ahead of time that your assigned lot pad or visitor space can comfortably handle your combined rig length.
