1. THERE IS NO SWIMMING IN THE WATER AROUND THE HOUSE - this area is full of docks where people keep their boats and use electricity so it is not safe to swim.

3. There is no boat launch in our community. There's a public ramp to launch boats. Guests cannot leave their trailer at the boathouse, as there is no room.

Cutest Boathouse ever!

We loved staying at the Catalina Boat house! The host was fabulous and even texted to wish my husband luck at his race! The location was perfect for going to downtown Sandusky each day. If you need restaurant recommendations, your host Jennifer is ready with wonderful ones. We ate at several and they were all great. We would totally stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cedar Point getaway

This was the perfect location to travel to and from Cedar Point (5min). We were in town for a baseball tournament at Sports Force Park (7 min drive) and this location was great. House was super clean, well stocked, and had nice fresh towels on each bed waiting for us. Owner was super responsive and even gave us a heads up text that there was traffic accident on our way in and gave us an alternate route. 5 stars. ;)

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

My husband and I are foodies, so we primarily travel to eat! One of our favorite destinations is Hilton Head. My husband is a military veteran, and I stay busy running our vacation rentals. We love getting to know new people, which is why transient rentals appeal to us. Our listings appeal to guests because of their proximity to one of the world's largest amusement parks, Cedar Point.

Why they chose this property

Let's have our previous guests answer this question (these reviews were taken off of another booking site so future guests can read even more reviews):

"What a perfect stay!! We got married in Sandusky and were looking for a place to stay, what a perfect find for us! The location was SO convenient to everything and the house was incredible. We were having so much we decided to stay an extra day. Booking an extra night was made very easy and we enjoyed our bonus day to soak in everything by the lake!" -Kathleen, August 2020

"The outside is deceiving as it is a Unique Boat House. Once inside it is a cozy updated home. My son enjoyed fishing from the boathouse which was literally steps from the couch. The home is closer to Cedar Point than many of the Cedar Point hotels are. We also enjoyed several good restaurants in Sandusky." -Phyllis, July 2021

"I highly recommend staying at the Boathouse with Jennifer. Location was top notch, house was as advertised and very comfortable, even though we had a large group. Check in & check out was simple and Jennifer made the whole stay simple. Thanks for being a great host and making my family's trip easy. We will be staying here again and recommending to friends." -Thomas, August 2021

"Best experience, location, and host! The house was cozy, very comfortable, and clean. The location is outside the gates to Cedar Point, and Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and was very accommodating. My family and I will be coming back soon! 5 stars all the way!" -Evanjaleen, August 2021

"This house had everything our family needed for a relaxing and fun getaway. The showers were hot and the beds were comfy. The home is super clean and cutely decorated. The TV room was perfectly cozy for our family movie night. The host provided amazing hospitality and was very knowledgeable about the area. If you are visiting Cedar Point, the location is ideal!" -Erika, June 2019

What makes this property unique

Your group will be amazed at the construction of the home. How many area visitors can say they've stayed ON the waters of Lake Erie? This unique home is built on pilings, and hovers OVER Lake Erie. What a unique experience! Boathouses of this style are unique to Sandusky.
