About this property

Bella Vista!! - Lake Views at The Shores / 2 Bed / 2 Bath / Clean!

Bella Vista!! Yes!…what a “beautiful view” from this lovely 3rd-floor unit, which has three balconies (two lakeview, one tennis/pickleball court view), and is located in the highly sought after 'The Shores' beach front resort style condominium development. This complex, which is beautifully landscaped, checks all the boxes! Gated community, heated lakefront pool flanked by small ponds with water fountains, lakefront deck, hot tub, beautiful private sandy beach, large common firepit patio with a water feature wall, grassy yard space with picnic tables and charcoal grills, tennis/pickleball court, the list goes on and on!

There is no elevator in the complex, but you will be rewarded with the view from the top! Inside our 2-bedroom, 2 full bath condo, you’ll walk into an open concept kitchen and immediately see past the living room to a view of Lake Erie out on the horizon. This is a clean, comfortable and well stocked unit. Consider this your “home away from home” just as our family and friends do. Pack your own toothbrush, food and beverages and leave the other amenities to us. This condo has "central" air conditioning and heat for your comfort, no window air conditioners or baseboard heat! We are located close to many attractions. For your convenience, I’ll list how many miles away the Points of Interests are, but you just might want to stay here at ‘The Shores’ to enjoy the lake life… catch the sunrise colors with your morning cup of coffee out on the bedroom balcony, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, read a book pool side, nap on the lake front deck while listening to the waves lap at the shore, dip your toes in the smooth silky sand on your very own private beach, enjoy a glass of wine up in the condo out on the balcony while watching sailboats sail off into the horizon as the setting sun paints the sky with a multitude of pastel colors. Dine in or go out to one of many of the area's fine dining or quaint and casual establishments. (Happy to offer suggestions - hints of cuisine preferences are helpful.) Then enjoy the rest of the night out on the patio by the fire where you can share your day's activities and plan your next day's adventure. This is a condo where you can relax! Don’t miss it!!

* Note: pool and hot tub are seasonal - typically mid/end May to mid/end September.
Opening date for 2025 is slated for Mother's Day weekend, weather dependent.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank our wonderful guests who have had stayed at Belle Vista over the last couple years and have given us such kind reviews. We really appreciate it. Our goal always remains the same as it did with our previous properties, and that is "superior guest satisfaction", which gained us many consistent 5-star ratings and Premier Host status at our Mohican State Park vacation rentals, which we sold years ago when we moved. Please see more about the host in the section below.

Great stay by the lake!

The property was fabulous; it was clean and well appointed. Communication with the owner was excellent. The location was great, we loved going to the pool and beach on property. But, it was also walking distance to down town to check out restaurants and the pier. There was small soap, shampoo and conditioner, and a hairdryer which were unexpected and convenient to have. It was a nice touch to find decaf k-cups and decaf tea upon our arrival. I would highly recommend this property.

Port Clinton Condo

Excellent location, close to everything. Gated entry for added security. Buildings and grounds were kept up and looked nice. Lovely view of Lake Erie. The condo was clean and decorated very nicely. Both bedrooms had their own bathroom. Sofa and chair were comfortable but may need replaced soon. The tables behind the sofa was very nice to either eat at or as a desk area for computer use. Being on the top floor was a bit of a challenge with luggage up and down the stairs, but manageable. Overall, a very nice place. Pat, the owner was very nice, very, very quick to respond and was indeed a very gracious host. We highly recommend spending time or vacation there!

Lovely condo on Lake Erie

This was an amazing place to stay. We took a family trip to the the kids to Cedar Point. Far enough away to be out of the craziness but close enough to make a day out of it. The kids enjoyed the pool and beach! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. We made several trips to R Coffee Corner. The drinks were good! The business complex is also on a coy pond. Grab a cup of coffee and a bag of fish food. Relax while the kiddos or you enjoy feeding the fish.

Lake Erie Adventure

The condo was very clean and well kept. The owner was excellent and easily reached. The location was good. Close to restaurants and bars in Port Clinton. Close to the ferries. The pool was excellent and the hot tub was a hit with us. The deck had plenty of seating right on the lake for great views and sunsets. The pool and hot tub were the perfect place to relax after Cedar Point and Put-in-Bay. Just a word of caution for older renters. The condo is on the 3rd floor so there are quite a few steps to climb.

Fabulous condo in great community

We had a wonderful vacation on the lake! The condo has everything we needed to cook, play, laugh, and have a wonderful time. The pool was perfect and the views were fabulous. It honestly felt like we were at the ocean. Hosts were very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed! It wasn't a big issue for us, but the WiFi was pretty bad. Super slow and sometimes didn't work at all. There's not great service there, so definitely something to consider if you plan on streaming shows or working remotely. Since we were on vacation we didn't mind and just enjoyed the family time. Will definitely be returning!

Cute Lakefront Condo

This property has been freshly updated throughout with contemporary / beachy decor and was very clean and comfortable for our stay. There were a lot of little thoughtful touches, like having a few throw blankets available and some coffee/tea/snacks, a book with menus of nearby restaurants and some attraction information, a few books to read and CDs. The kitchen seemed to be stocked well if you wanted to cook, and there was a laundry machine available. We found the beds to be very comfortable with good quality bedding. We enjoyed seeing the sun set out over the water through the balcony door. The common areas with pool and hot tub and some chairs looking out over the water were very nice, although the building exteriors and stairwell areas may have seen better days, and there is only a very small sandy beach area. The property was conveniently located to take Miller Ferry, visit Marblehead or Cedar Point with a short drive, and very close to the safari park. I think the best use might be with a small family. The second bedroom is on the side closest to the road outside the complex and has some noise from that, and that bathroom has a very small sink/shower. You also do need to be prepared to go up a few fights of stairs, so this unit wouldn’t be a good choice for anyone with mobility issues. The host was very nice and quickly responsive to a couple of questions we had. Overall would recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Patterson

Host profile image
I used to be a Premier Host with three, 5-star vacation guesthouses and many repeat guests in the Mohican State Park area. I absolutely love having that owner/guest experience. Due to family circumstances, my husband and I sold the guesthouses and temporarily stepped out of the business, but with the desire to one day be back. This time, our goal would be to concentrate on just one rental to share with family and friends, as well our guests. So with the love of Lake Erie in our hearts, we moved north to Catawba Island. We kept our eyes on ‘The Shores’ Condominiums, and when this unit came up for sale, we jumped at the opportunity. I hope our past guests who visited us in the Mohican State Park area find us here, and I hope to host you as our guest sometime soon!
