We had a great time at the Wayward Sailor boathouse! We came to the area to ride the coasters at Cedar Point. The boathouse is in the perfect location if you don’t want to stay on the resort, just 5 minutes away. The property is clean and comfortable and the host is very responsive. We did not bring a boat but it seems like it would be fun if you have one. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Cedar Point!

The house was very close to Cedar Point which was excellent for comings and goings, especially as we had some rainy days and we could easily take a break. The property was nicely decorated. The air conditioning worked fine. The owners was nice and very communicative. The poperty was cleaned well. The only reason I gave cleanliness a 4 was that you could smell dog on the carpet if you laid down on the carpet. But the day to day cleaning was good. The furniture as cheaper and not that comfortable. The mattresses could use an upgrade as they were not comfortable. The host made me sign a contract and implemented a bunch of rules if you broke threatening to remove you from the property if broken which I have not seen before. It made me nervous that the host would try to overcharge me on anything, However we had no issues. There was a camera on the rear boathouse where you could sit and we did not use it as we did not want to be watched by the homeowner. Overall, the house was nice. I may or may not stay there again - mainly due to the beds.

A Note to Future Guests: We appreciate all guest feedback & want to provide clarification regarding this review. Our rental agreement outlines rules & expectations that help protect our guests & our property. Guests have the opportunity to review the agreement before committing to the rental & can choose not to proceed if they are uncomfortable with the terms. We also strive to be flexible & accommodating. In this case, we changed the guest’s reservation dates at no charge for his convenience. Regarding the mattresses/furniture, comfort is understandably subjective. While this guest found them uncomfortable, we have not previously received complaints about either. We also want to reassure future guests about our exterior cameras. The camera mentioned in the review is located at the rear boat garage & is used to monitor boat & property activity. It is not used to watch or surveil guests while they are enjoying their vacation. Most importantly, we want future guests to know that we are highly communicative & genuinely want our guests to have a great experience. We welcome guests reaching out to us with any concerns during their stay so that we have an opportunity to address them. We’re pleased that this guest found the home clean, nicely decorated, conveniently located near Cedar Point, & that they found us communicative and accommodating. We want to make sure future guests have accurate context when read reviews & understand that our goal is to provide a wonderful stay.

Perfect getaway!

Perfect spot to relax after a long day at Cedar Point. The house was spotless, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and we loved being right there by the water. The host was the best we've ever had--she even shipped a few items back to me after my forgetful son left them behind! Can't wait to stay again on our next trip to Cedar Point!
