About this property
Country Home Villa + PRIVATE POOL & Guest House <1 mile to downtown Port Clinton
Port Clinton's Hidden Retreat Gem!
Everyone says that….but we mean it!
Main Home with In ground PRIVATE POOL & Patio +a Private Guest House separate of the home.
NOTE - The only PRIVATE POOL listing in Port Clinton!
Main House 3B / 1.5 Bath
Guest House (Great for privacy !) 1B / 1 Bath
Our Great Lake Retreat Villa is situated mere minutes from all Port Clinton activities such as Fishing, Boating, Eats & Drinks, Night Life, Beaches, Lighthouses, Family Fun & more!
Close to: Cedar Point & The Lake Erie Islands (Put In Bay / Kelleys Island ), Marblehead and Port Clinton Lighthouses, Birdwatching and multiple State Parks.
With a mix of Farmhouse Inspiration throughout, we've added some subtle Nautical flare to the home and created Port Clinton's lone Great Lake Escape Pool Home / Villa, and believe the Guest House is a GREAT addition vs. a standard vacation rental. The Guest House allows multiple families to enjoy additional privacy vs. standard rentals, or a place for Mom/Dad or Grandpa/Grandma to either escape from the grandkids....or to simply turn in early.
Farmhouse decor kitchen, relaxing decor throughout.
HD Streaming TV's in each bedroom
HD Streaming TV 65" in the Living Room
HD Streaming TV 42" in the Dining / Family area
Gaming System (Nintendo Switch) provides a nice opportunity for young and old to bond, or just something for the kids to do while you plan your day. Bring you own games, or take advantage of what we provide (the games vary).
The home is open concept with the Master Bedroom, Dining Area and Kitchen off the Pool/Patio side of the home. This is very relaxing, providing the kind of views your family hopes for on vacation.
Beds are comfortable and rooms are simple to relax in, with the Queen bedroom in the main home offering leisurely reading options and even a few lotions throughout the year.
Having 2.5 baths across the 2 Living Spaces (Main House + Guest House) provides ample opportunity to prepare for the day, and to refreshen up after a long day enjoying the area, with the privacy everyone expects from home (even while sharing a vacation rental).
The GEM is the Outdoor area. The Dry Dock area (patio) and In ground pool provide SOOOO much room to spread out and enjoy the fun and the sun.
The Guest House is a bonus that cannot be overlooked. It provides a separate living space for any couple in your family. Young or Old, some simply like the seclusion and will enjoy being able to turn in early for the night. Guest home is located just off the pool, and is a full amenity (Full Kitchen / Full Bath ) offering. FULL AC of course in the Guest House as well!
As we head into Season 4.....the property has been a hit!
Pool
5' deep end
3' shallow end
You may also bring in your own floats as you see fit, and we'll provide some as well.
Enjoy a cookout from the Patio with many seating options, and chaise loungers for catching some sun, as well as the updated Polywood furniture new for 2025!
The Weber Grill is ready to feed the entire crew!
With a Pool Home....the action doesn't stop when you get back home for the evening, and can start as early as you like! Keep the kids entertained while you plan out the day, or keep the good times rolling into the evening. With your own private pool, the vacation feels like a vacation 24/7, not just when you leave the home!
Something for everyone here as the home provides many areas to spread out and relax!!

About the host
Hosted by Steve Joseph
Year #5 Hosts who opened their 2nd of 2 properties in 2022 (because we enjoyed the first opening in 2021).
Sales professional investing in an area that I've grown up, and love. The Port Clinton and Marblehead areas are "home", locally graduating and working as a Sales/Engineer/HOSTING savant (kidding....but we love hosting)
Easy to reach and can provide great detail on most anything in the area, or surrounding areas including food / fun and fishing info.
Need a Charter? Need some fishing reports? Need a place to set up some chairs and fish from shore? Need a place to find your fishing tackle and bait for your trip? Ask and we're happy to provide anything and everything you'll need!
We'll help where we can, while also hosting from afar to ensure the most private experience possible.
We're determined to earn your business, then keep your business year after year! I myself am tired of purchasing options from anyone that only needs your business once....that's not our goal. We'd love to have you back year after year!

Why they chose this property
This particular Pool & Guest House property was of interest to me personally, prior to my hosting journey which began in 2021. Heading into Season 4 and we continue to host the property as a unique offering for those heading into the Port Clinton area, and either require or prefer an added layer of privacy. There's swimming in a pool with opening and closing hours + a dozen other people....then there's enjoying your own private pool experience.
Unique in nature, the area does not offer many homes like this, and we're both excited and take great pride in offering this to our Guests! We choose privacy and comfort on our own vacations, and are now proud to offer something similar here in Port Clinton, Ohio.

What makes this property unique
Unique is the best way to describe this property.
We offer A country setting, offering both a 1400 sq/ft Main Home, then a fully separate Private Guest House (with full bath, kitchen and laundry and Cold Central AC!!)
The Country setting and Pool/Patio area are amazing. You'll dip in the pool, drink from the patio and if lucky, watch deer/rabbits and even some peacocks etc, walk leisurely across the back of the property while you relax in the pool (or on the spacious patio). The sunsets can be amazing, better than we'd hoped when we bought the property (we purchased in the Winter....then realized the gorgeous country views when we opened that Summer!).
Unique design and opportunity for families wanting to enjoy something a bit different....some telling us "we eat/sleep/hang here all day". With so much to do in the area, many love to get away from the home for a few hours at a time, then let the kids put more energy into some pool time! Fun Fact - children that swim longer, sleep longer....and everyone sleeps good!
Tons of parking just off the main highway, and just outside of city Limits. No close neighbors to cramp your style or use of the home. Play music. Be yourselves. Have fun enjoying one of, if not THE only Private Pool Home offering in Port Clinton.
