Sheila Consaul, a 65-year-old historical preservation enthusiast, has turned her dream into a reality by purchasing an abandoned lighthouse in Fairport Harbor, Ohio, transform the lighthouse into her ideal summer home.

Living in a lighthouse is far from ordinary. The first thing you’ll notice is the isolation. There’s no driveway leading to the front door. Instead, you have to park half a mile away and carry all your supplies – food, water, and even gas for the generator – by hand. But once you’re there, the experience is unparalleled.
