We were in town for a wedding and decided to try this instead of one of the local hotels. The communication was great with the property owner and the property was cleaned and perfect for a quick night stay.
I booked this house for its central location due to a fishing trip. It was my husband, son, my father and my brother in law and they were extremely pleased with the amenities, the location, and just the general comfort of the property. Highly recommend. Communication with owner/manager was so smooth and responsive.
The electric outside grill was awesome! It looked small, but we sure loaded it up! The fire pit was nice, but be sure to bring your own wood. The kitchen was adequate. Bring your own Ziploc bags, saran wrap, and foil. The race track was only 10 minutes away! What a timesaver this place was! And the arcade games are definite plus! Great communication with the host!
This was the perfect little house for our weekend. The house has what you need, the beds are very comfortable. The arcade games are a fun addition. If you’re looking for a cute little place to stay in the Norwalk/Sandusky area this is your place! And the host was wonderful to work with, great communication. Thanks for the stay!
Plenty of room to sleep and able to control the temperature of each room upstairs and main level. WiFi fast, room for kids to play in backyard and kitchen fully stocked.
Just needed a place to sleep. Bed was clean and comfortable. My husband did enjoy the arcade games! And The Freight House has awesome food just a minute away..best cheese curds ever!!!!
Just off main drag so convenient yet still quiet...just needed an overnight with Grandkids after long day at Cedar Point...hence- video games a hit...would not recommend for your basketball squad as 2nd story ceiling a little low..worked for us!
Good place! The property was as described in the listing.
Pros: Lots of space, good amenities, grill, private backyard, driveway parking, secure space, comfortable, family friendly, close to stores and food.
Cons: Could have been a bit cleaner, it was a bit dusty and had cobwebs around.
Overall: We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Had everything we needed.
This was our second stay here and it’s the perfect place for us while visiting family. Easy check in process and the owner is so helpful. Added bonus….We all love the video games! The kids were excited for our second stay because they remembered the house with the games:) This will be our home away from home visiting family from now on.
Everything from start to finish worked out swimmingly!!! Great Host....very accommodating, timely etc....Steve worked well with my Mother n law in making sure she had a roof over her head while she waited to be able to get in to her new home!!
Property was cute and seasonally decorated. Kids and husband enjoyed the arcade game! Beds were comfortable. Would recommend washing bath rugs in between guests. Excellent communication and easy to find! Thank you!!
I booked the property in November '22 for the 4/8/24 eclipse. I followed up with the host a few months prior to the stay to let him know how excited my family was. The day before the eclipse, my wife, kids and myself made the 2.5 hr drive and showed up to find the space was rented out from underneath us. The host then had the gall to blame VRBO instead of taking the responsibility for the double booking. To say we were disappointed to no longer have a place to stay on the path of totality, after more than a year of planning, is a giant understatement. The situation was very unprofessional and a horrible way to treat people.
Enjoyed our stay. This was the best stocked Vrbo rental we've had. We were able to cook most meals from home.. Plenty of beds for all 8 of us. Two rooms upstairs were perfect for the kids. Only 1 bathroom, but with good planning of showers we had no issues with that. Neighborhood seemed safe, we spent almost every night winding down near the fireplace, plenty of outdoor furniture and firewood stocked. Our main focus was cedarpoint and it was only a 15min drive away. Went shopping at Sandusky mall with a small variety of stores. Walmart/ grocery stores are very close under 5 min away from house. If you are looking for a beach to visit Nickel Plate Beach was clean and kids even swam in it(cold) Overall this property was 5 stars and well deserved, very diligent host that seemed to think of everything we needed. Definitely would stay again and recommend the property to others.
The house was nice enough and the minimalism was appreciated but, the furniture is in dire need of cleaning and the house itself could have used a bit more cleaning and maintenance attention. This was not even remotely my concern at the time, as we were traveling all day and needed somewhere comfortable to rest our heads. That seemed like no problem until we laid down in bed and realized we were directly behind a bar that didn't close until 2:00 a.m. . You will definitely need a sound machine to stay here! Thankfully, my kids sleep with one anyway and we just left the bedroom door open to be able to hear theirs. The bed being positioned against the window still made the noise from the bar incredibly loud. I can't fault the owners for this noise at all, as they have no control over the bar or the sound coming from it but, better positioning of the bedroom may have helped, as well as insulating that window.
The property is absolutely adorable and, given more time and warmer weather, we would have loved to hang out in the backyard and on the back porch.
The kitchen was well stocked with necessary dishes for a quick meal and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the arcade machines. The bathroom was also well stocked with towels and washcloths without us having to go looking for them.
As the person responsible for packing and unpacking our van, I really really appreciate the longer driveway, which extended to the back porch entrance.
When we arrived to the property the neighborhood was very rough and unsafe looking and the outside of the home was in disrepair and in need of major work. When we opened the door to the house we were greeted with a musty wet smell, the house was a home flip gone bad. The cabinets were filthy, the floors were so dirty we had to keep our shoes on and there was chips on the floor from the previous renter. The furniture was stained and the walls were so dirty (clearly this house is not being cleaned properly or maintained) When we went into the downstair room there was a large (almost the size of the bed) water stain with black colored mold on the ceiling. The beds were all very uncomfortable and we truly did not feel safe staying in this home. I contacted VRBO many times as well as the property manager with nothing to be done. Our second day there someone shows up in the yard walking around the property and scared us half to death. The guy went to the shed and started cutting the grass during our vacation!!!!! Never were we contacted that someone would be coming to the property. For the money we spent for 4 night I expect to have the property to myself. I did not feel safe leaving my dogs or belongings in the home after this because who knows who is coming into the home while we are away. The final straw was a loud party next door until 3am with bass and loud talking while my toddlers are trying to sleep. We packed up and were gone by 7am. The property host refused to refund any money for the dirty home and inaccurate description of the home or leaving early due to horrible conditions of the stay. We tried finding other places in the area that would take dogs so we could stay and finish our vacation, but unfortunately we couldn't find anywhere. I would not recommend staying in this home. I have rented so much nicer and gotten a lot more for a lot less money. The property host was horrible to deal with and ignored messages and was unwilling to resolve issues.
