We have stayed at another one of Bill and Larain's - which was lovely - and were not dissapointed with the second. Our family of four had plenty of room, the condo was well appointed, and the conplex is conveniently located near everything. The private beach and pool are ideal. Many thanks to Bill, and we hope to be back!

Great vacation condo!
This was a great little condo perfect for a weekend getaway. We went for a small extended family getaway. With two small kids, it was the perfect size. Everything was very neat and tidy with all the necessary accommodations that were needed. The location is perfect for all the local attractions we wanted to see. We particularly enjoyed leaving the back sliding door open to feel the lake breeze come in! Thanks so much for helping make it a great trip.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. We have had renters tell us there are more things to do here than any resort town on the Atlantic Ocean. Hope to see you again soon.
The condo was just as it looks in the photos. Bill was very responsive from the moment we booked the condo. He was very easy to work with. We had a ton of fun at the African Safari and Put-in-Bay. The kids enjoyed the pool and beach access at the condo. The condo location is wonderful! We walked to just about everything but the Safari. Thank you for the memories!

Thank you for the great sounding 5 Starish review but 4 stars means we'll have to find out what we could have done better.
Everything was good. Fun little getaway. The only issue was the 2 pull out couch beds. They were very damaged at the ends and sunkin in. When my husband was napping, he rolled over and the couch actually try to close and roll up on him. Other than that, it was a nice time.
Condo was as advertised and in a great location.. Grounds were real nice with an Awesome Beach area,Pool and Hot Tub... Condo has view of Lake and was very comfortable for me and the kids... -** Owner is a little quirky with additional lease contract, additional rules and regulations.. Seems eager to deduct from your security deposit *** I have rented over 30 times with VRBO and have never have seen this. from another owner... First Red Flag should have been that he tried to get me to handle the rental "outside" of VRBO and he could save me the money... ----Too many Nice Units out there to have to deal with this on a 2 night Get away.... We were very careful and left the place in great condition and had no issues but would never rent from this owner again...

Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2020
Oh well after 45 years as a landlord and 18 years renting short term, YOU CAN'T PLEASE THEM ALL. Everyone else that rents from me signs the same contract and if the Condo Complex REQUIRES me to abide by the Rules and Regulations I have to make sure my renters abide by them too. She says I seemed eager to deduct from her security deposit when I DIDN'T DEDUCT A DIME!!! Not a problem that she would never rent from me again because she is now on my list also. Too many Satisfied Renters to worry about this one. At least they Enjoyed the Condo.
Condo was as described and a nice quiet property on the lake.
Slightly outdated, but perfectly suitable for a few days hanging around on the lake. Pool and beach access were excellent for everyone, especially the kids. Would recommended.
Nothing better than floating on a noodle in a pool while watch all the boats on the lake!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Great Location Could Use Some Updates
We loved this condos location and lake views. It was a short walk to downtown Port Clinton and the Jet Express. The owner was a great communicator and readily available for any concerns we had. Some things to note when staying... bring extra towels. The pull out beds are very old and small, you may want a blow up mattress instead. The dishes were dirty so check before using or your own paper products/utensils. Outdated for the price but overall a great location and would go back.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay but I'm sorry you found some problems with the dishes and the hide-a-beds. That's the first time for those but we will check the dishes from now on. We rely on the previous renters to do the dishes correctly but will check. As far as the towels, we supply 1 towel and wash cloth for each person. I'm very surprised you needed more for only 2 nights.
I came here with my teenage sons and their friends. The condo was perfect for us and we had a great time. The beach and pool area were fantastic! I highly recommend as the owner was responsive and easy to communicate with.

The condo itself was great! It had everything we needed. I had an awesome time for my bachelor party and loved Ed’s bar and grill. I wish the drawbridge was open while we were there so it would have been easier to get to the ferry’s but everything with the condo was great!! Thanks Bill!

Port Clinton Getaway
Excellent base camp for our first trip to Cedar Point. Everything about the condo was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable for two adults and two teenagers. We very much enjoyed the pool and hot tub area. The beach on Lake Erie was also nice and spent some time splashing in the shallow waters. The owner was very easy to deal and gave lots of information on the area. We spent three nights there and being on a budget, we cooked our own meals so can't comment on the local restaurants but had a great time the day we went to Cedar Point to ride the most amazing coasters in the world.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.
