The place was excellent. But a prior guest left very dirty crockery in the cupboard. This had nothing to do with the hosts. Highly recommended.

Place to go to relax

If you want to just relax and watch the sea, this is the place to be. We had a lovely short stay and we feel quite refreshed – I only wished we had booked longer! Our little dog loved the front yard to be able to run around and be safe with the fully fenced yard. Highly recommended.

The Shack Port Clinton

The place was fantastic very comfortable and very relaxing the only down side was for some reason the hot water in the shower went cold after only 3-5 minutes it was fine in the kitchen but for some reason it didnt last long in the shower dont know why and it might be a good idea to upgrade the shower head as it worked fine but was a bit small and hard to adjust to get it off the stinging effect at first. Over all would recommend to our friends on such a delightful place it will be a please we will be going back to again.

We have stayed here many years and it is clean, comfortable and has a beautiful waterfront outlook. I was worried if the algal bloom would affect our stay, but unless you are fishing or visiting the beach itself, you should not have problems. There were quite a few dead fish; but we were glad to support the local economy and had no problems sitting on the deck through the day and enjoying the beautiful view. There is no issue with odour (the bird population is well fed) so do not hesitate to book and stay in Port Clinton.

Hot water is easily used up. For 4 people showers need to be staggered throughout the day and best kept to a 5min max. Found that out the hard way. LolMagnificently clean place. Excellent equipment supply. Fabulous view. Lovely friendly town. Brilliant.

A week at The Shack at Port Clinton.

The position and view were excellent but provisions were nil. There was no salt, pepper, tea, coffee sugar or other basics provided. All were locked away in cupboards with chains and padlocks on them. Only two rolls of toilet paper were provided for two adults for a week. We not only had to provide our own linen but quilt and pillows as well.The washing machine was coin operated!
