The house is great. It’s close to a lot of things you can walk to. There’s lots of space and amenities. We had dogs with us and that process worked well as well! There are three refrigerators and lots of couches, blankets and pillows. The wifi works great. The neighborhood is somewhat busy, but we’re from the country. Bring your own games or puzzles, and be careful with where you park. The basement is a great plus!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Kreber-Mullenix

Host profile image
We are from Dublin, OH but also enjoy lake life in Sandusky, Marblehead, Catawba Islands the Erie Islands. We love sailboating, jet skiing, swimming and just hanging at Baypoint Reaort. There are endless, super fun places to go all over the Western Basin shores.
We love what is going on in downtown Sandusky too- even though it is city life, we feel very safe walking around in the downtown waterfront area. We like that there is an abundance of free parking.

We are also very close to Cedar Point and multiple sports parks/fascilities.

This entire area is one of Ohio’s gems with Lake Erie sandy bottom beaches nearby.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to invest in Downtown Sandusky because the city is doing great things. There is so much to do in this Sandusky Waterfront city and surrounding lakefront communities nearby like Vermillion, Marblehead, Catawba Island/Port Clinton and the nearby Lake Erie Islands like Kelley’s, Put-in Bay and Middle Bass Islands feom fishing, boating, sports parks and fabulous places to partake in your own nautical tour.

What makes this property unique

Our place comfortably sleeps 10 with 5 queen beds. It has multiple places to hangout. We love our three- season front porch too! Although traditional and with a nautical vibe, we have your comfort in mind with lots of group seating to make lasting and joyful memories.
