Great rental

This rental was perfect for our family of 5. We were easily able to host and entertain family (who stayed in other rentals) in the unit and outside by the pool. The space and available amenities are great! This unit’s level of detail in labeling was incredible, one of the best we’ve seen and truly makes a difference! We would absolutely book this property again!

Great location. Unit is extremely well stocked! It was really awesome how they had everything for you; I only wish I had known I didn’t need to bring laundry soap, shampoo, k-cups, etc. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Nice views. The dock was great and is only a short ride on the river to the lake.

Excellent Getaway!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Harbor Lakeside Escape. The condo is beautiful, clean and feels like your home away from home. Tom & Jessie have thought of everything a visitor may need to feel comfortable during their stay. The condo property, pool and areas are well taken care of and easily accessible. The condo is in a great location to explore Port Clinton as well as a short jaunt to catch the ferry to PIB. Tom & Jessie are wonderful to work with! Thanks for having us, we hope to visit again soon!

Perfect Port Clinton Getaway

Tom & Jessie were great hosts who responded quickly with any questions. The property was well maintained outside & especially the pool area & as of now is still open. Nice touch with pool TV to watch weekend football games. Owners & guests were all friendly that we interacted while there. The space was as advertised so very clean, all essentials provided & very thoughtful with labels on snack bar & the remotes. My family & wife enjoyed our stay & recommend this property if in the area. Last but not least the location is close to everything especially Jet Express. Our first stay with Vrbo was a great experience thanks to Tom, Jessie & their property.

We didn’t want to leave!

What a lovely home! This was our first vacation as a family of 6 - our little one was only 7 weeks old!! Ann Marie was such a great communicator and we felt at home the moment we arrived! The house was clean, tidy and organized. Everything we needed was provided for us, including pool towels and plenty of kitchen appliances and dishes. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were spacious. The sunroom was our favorite spot! The Second floor is a loft which is used as the master bedroom with a large bathroom (dual vanity), separate shower room and a very nice size laundry room. The community was wonderful, too! We stayed in Port Clinton the days of the Mayfly invasion and the condo association kept the area very tidy! I loved the covered gazebo and tent areas at the pool - gave the baby and me a place to relax out of the sun while hanging with our family. We met so many friendly neighbors at the pool! Having a newborn makes traveling tough, but staying here made it less stressful for sure. The community is in close vicinity to everything in downtown Port Clinton. Only a 5 minute drive to the Jet Express! We will absolutely stay here again if we plan another vacation in Port Clinton! Be sure to notice the artwork in the home - it’s the owner’s ;)

Review for Condo in Port Clinton, OHMy friends and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful condo in Port Clinton, and it truly exceeded our expectations! The moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by how clean and beautifully organized the space was. It was evident that the owners take great care of their property, which made us feel right at home.One of the highlights of our stay was the sunroom, where we could indulge in breathtaking views. Sipping our morning coffee while watching the sunrise was an absolute treat. The cozy atmosphere of the condo complemented the stunning scenery perfectly.The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights after our busy days of exploring the area. Speaking of exploration, the condo's location was prime—close to entertainment options, shops, and restaurants. We never struggled to find something to do!We also enjoyed the pool, which was a refreshing retreat on a warm day. It was well-maintained and a great spot for relaxing and soaking up the sun.All in all, we had a fantastic weekend getaway. Thank you for the use of your beautiful condo; we can’t wait to return!

Lovely family trip

This was mine and our family of 5 first trip to Ohio and Port Clinton. Everything was very enjoyable and laid back, easy to get to and the condo location is basically in the middle. Check in was very easy the hosts were great. Everything was neat and orderly and really quite quaint. The only quirky part was the Master suite is on the 2nd floor loft (and a spacious one id say) that had a curtain separating the 2nd floor to the living below. It was actually fun for us because we through stuffed animals down and really had fun with it, but someone else might want to know that. I'd recommend the hosts, their home and Port Clinton thank you for the great trip

Great Location and nice set up to condo

We had a great time staying near Lake Erie. The owners had excellent attention to detail. Comfy beds. Great views. Lovely pool area. There are some stairs to climb to get up to the condo but worth it. I would highly recommend staying here. They made the most of all the space in this rental and had a lot of nice touches.

About the host

Hosted by Tom & Jessie

Host profile image
Tom and Jessie have been in the Real Estate business for 20 years. Currently residing full time in Virginia Beach, VA. We have always wanted to have a vacation home and decided on Port Clinton for its world class fishing. With 2 adult boys we would spend time at Cedar Point and always wanted to take some time to visit the Walleye capital of the world. We loved vacationing at the lake erie shores and finally decided to purchase.

Why they chose this property

We choose Port Clinton because I used to vacation there as a child. My grandparents owned a home there and spent the summers in PC. During the summers my grandfather would captain a head boat fishing charters out of Drawbridge Marina. Since I was born in Ohio, I figured it would be a great idea to come back and start spending time in my favorite lake town!

What makes this property unique

This property gives you the best of both worlds as a vacation rental. You will have access to the pool, hot tub and Marina so you can enjoy the lake and enjoy everything else. This resort area has to offer.
