Great place for our quick visit to Lake Erie. The property was clean and comfortable and communication with the host was very easy. Plus my husband and I enjoyed revisiting our youth playing PacMan :)
We had a great trip! The property was cute, clean, and easy to access.The location is perfect, within walking distance to the beach, light house, playground, and downtown. We walked down town for food and music. The kiddos loved the arcade game. We highly recommend :)
The property was exactly as described. Very neat and tidy. Nick reached out prior to the trip and his contact information was also posted. The checkout was was short and sweet and also posted. If we are ever back in the area we would love to stay again.
We had a fun time in the area! The apartment was clean, comfortable, cute and convenient. The host does an amazing job communicating and providing every detail to make the space perfect! We loved the number of charging ports for devices, the old school pacman game, the deck and location. Thank you!

Great Stay!
House was clean. Peers great to work with! Easy check in and check out. Original listing stated 5 steps to entrance though we were actually on the second floor. Close to downtown area and jet express. Easy access to beach. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Our family of six (two adults + four boys) stayed here for three nights and it couldn’t have been a better spot for us! We were mainly in the area for two days at Cedar Point but we also walked down to the beach and the lighthouse. It was a GREAT location! As far as details and thought that went into making guests comfortable, this was one our best experiences. The hosts were super helpful and responsive when we had a couple quick questions. 100% would stay here again!
we really enjoyed our stay their. The kitchen stove was smaller than we anticipated, but we made it work. Beds were comfortable. the only complaint that o had was that the stairs were very steep and narrow. and washing machine on site was listed on vrbo. it was not. that was very disappointing as we choose this place because of that. but the owners did offer to bring us more towels.
First, the only thing to keep in mind is the stairs, but we didn’t mind it!
Next, all the things we loved: the location super close to the Port Clinton beach and lighthouse. There is also an awesome park for kids a 5 min drive away.
The selection of coffees.
The toys and books for kids and Pac Man game and big selection of board games.
The table on deck with sun cover and a grill too.
Plenty of beds.
Everything was just so well thought out and we loved staying there! The kids wanted to stay forever! 😆
Also, all the restaurants they recommended were great (like Twin Oast Brewing).
Also, great location close to Ferry to PutinBay! We went to PIB one day, and Monsoon Lagoon one day.
Interior full of updates!
Thanks for everything!
This unit was perfect for what we needed. It was very clean and within walking distance to downtown. I cant say a bad word about it, we will be back next year.
We had a very comfortable 2 day stay at this very clean property. The owners have provided every amenity and thought of everything a guest May need. The location is also perfect for local activities. Really appreciated the welcome text message and quick response to our questions. Would highly recommend this for a Port Clinton stay..
We met our friends and just needed a place to use as a stepping stone to get to Kelleys Island and South Bass. It was a cute old house that has been updated as an apartment and had everything we needed. The Pac-Man game was heavily used and there were some very serious competitions going on. Overall very easy in and out, if you don’t like stairs this is not for you but that was not an issue for our party.
We really enjoyed our stay in Port Clinton. The property is very clean and well maintained. It is within walking distance or a short drive to so many activities. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
A group of friends stayed here. Perfect place if your looking to stay close to Port Clinton and the fishing charter fleet. Short drive to the docks from this house. Also some nice restaurants within walking distance from the house. Owner was great, good communication and very understanding. All in all - a good experience.
This place was perfect for our small family. Great location right across from the lake and close to everything. Stairs up to apartment were a little steep but did not bother us. We got stuck in the May fly swarm which was interesting but didn’t ruin any of our plans. Beds were comfy. Bathroom and kitchen had everything you need. Would definitely recommend!
This place is so close to the Jet Express ferry to Put In Bay. You could walk there, or to downtown, or to a beach park across the street. The wifi was good, there's a TV in one of the rooms, and the kitchen is equipped with all the basics needed for cooking. We had a great time bouncing between the sights and staying in. Thanks again for hosting us!
very convenient location for Jet Express to Put-In-Bay
Owner very responsive to questions and very welcoming. Apartment very well equipped. Location extremely convenient for Jet Express, downtown Port Clinton and lake front/beach. Easy drive to Kelley's Island ferry, African Safari and other tourist attractions. Would definitely stay here again if traveling to the Shores and Islands for a vacation!

Wonderful stay
This place was very clean and charming. The kitchen is small, but nice, and allowed us to prepare and eat actual meals instead of having to go out to eat every time. There were a few board games and DVDs, which the kids enjoyed. There is a TV in the bunk room, but no TV in the other (main) bedroom, so be prepared for that and bring a tablet or laptop if you want to be able to watch anything in there.
It was a very short walk (1/2 block) to the beach, which had a paved walking path around the lighthouse and benches to enjoy the sunset. It’s about 30 minutes from Cedar Point, which is what we came for, and the drive was very easy.
Nick, the owner, texted me a few days before check-in to let me know how to get in touch with him in case we needed anything during our stay, which was a very nice touch. Would highly recommend this property!
We had a great time in this Port Clinton home. We were able to walk to the beach, downtown restaurants, and the Jet Express. The house was clean and perfect for a family. They even provided games for all ages and some toys for the little ones. We would definitely stay again!
The place was clean and nicely decorated. The location was perfect! Best of all, Nick was an amazing host. His communication was stellar. Would definitely stay again!
