This is our second time at this house. It's big and has everything we need to have a fun time. We put the boat in 3 different ramps depending on where we want to go. There's lots of parking, the bed is comfortable, lots of towels. I can't think of any reason to go anywhere else when visiting the islands, swimming, skiing, tubing.

This is one of the nicest places we have found on VRBO. A very beautiful cozy house. Stocked with about anything you need in the kitchen with lots of extras. Beds very comfortable. Property was a delight. We were there as a family vacation with adult kids and grandkids. We forgot the pack n play for the baby. Our host brought one right over for us. Very friendly and accommodating host. Would love to stay again here.

Central Location

We've stayed here multiple times and the location is perfect for our fishing needs. It is located between Port Clinton and Wild Wings Marina, which just happens to work out for us.

Quaint Home Centrally Located

Had seven guests, tons of space! Nice quiet setting with easy access to Jet Express, Cedar Point and everything in between. The owners obviously take great pride in their property. Well maintained, nice decor, modern features and easy to follow instructions for check in/check out. Will definitely stay again.

The very best of the best.

A wonderfully clean, spacious, and homey stay. The owner and the lady who did the daily cleaning were so helpful and kind. They even provided some great farm-fresh cantaloupe for us. We hope to stay here again in two years when we return for the next reunion.

We stayed here with 2 other couples and the space was perfect. Everyone got their own bedroom & bathroom. The location was convenient to get to & from our fishing charter. They even provided a deep fryer when we asked about one. The only drawback is that there wasn't a washer or dryer. Would have been nice to throw our fishing clothes in the washer. We would stay here again.

Annual Lake Erie Get yogether

So much room! We were 3 seniors, 3 30 somethings and my sweet 7 year old grandson. We went boating. The house is close to Midway, Catawba and PT Clinton. We had a cookout, and boated to and from the July 4th fireworks. The extra fridge in the garage made things very easy.

Fabulous farmhouse-like home with all the amenities. All bedrooms are organized and spacious. Kitchen is amazing-all the amenities and lots of space. Front porch is so comfortable and enjoyable all day long. Grill works great. Comfortable living room and additional sitting room. Lots of space for a large or small group. We'll be going back!

Just Right

Our small group of friends make an annual weekend trip to the Sandusky/aport Clinton area. The property was perfect for us to lounge and visit and prep/ eat meals. There is a grocery store withing 15minutes and the jet express ferry is also within 10 min. There were several restaurants nearby with gluten free options and a variety of choices. Marcy was amazingly helpful. We had a great time and would consider booking again. We had 4 adults and one teen in our party.

Great location

This was a lovely property!- good outdoor space and lovely home with plenty of space for my family (5). The only downside is the road has some traffic noise starting at 4-5a although it only bothered me, the rest of my family didn't notice. I used ear plugs and that helped me as a light sleeper who was staying in the front upstairs bedroom. On the positive of being near the main road, is that it was an easy 15 mins or so to downtown Port Clinton and just little longer to other nearby towns. The owner was very responsive and helpful overall and we would definitely stay again and have recommended it to others. Good deal with cost as well
