The location of the property was perfect. We were able to visit with family from Fremont, OH and take my in-laws who met in Port Clinton and were married there 64 years ago. Lots of traveling back in time to remember when… and lots of wonderful memories were made.
The newly-renovated house is conveniently located for the park, beach and lighthouse, and Jet Express to Put-in-Bay. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. We enjoyed just relaxing on the hammock and in the Adirondack chairs in the back yard. Walleye and onion rings at the nearby Jolly Rogers restaurant were great. We went to Johnson's Island Stockade Cemetery where Confederate prisoners who died were buried. We only found one game and no videos, but the TVs provides easy access to subscriptions like Netflix.

Hi Harry, thanks so much for the review! So glad you loved the beds, the hammock, and just relaxing in the backyard - and that walleye at Jolly Rogers is always a good call. Sounds like you found some great spots around town too. Just to clarify on games/movies - we don't stock those as amenities, so what you found may have been left by a guest before you, and the TV resets blank between stays until you sign into your own accounts. Hope to have you back!
Charming property! Very cute and central location to everything. Brett was amazing to communicate with. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

Why they chose this property
- **Two full king suites** — rare for a 2BR at this price point; ideal for two couples or a family wanting real beds, not bunks - **Walkable park + beach** — genuinely walkable, not a stretch "5 min drive" claim - **Boat/trailer parking** — driveway sized for trailer + tow vehicle, a real differentiator for the fishing/boating crowd - **Fire pit + outdoor dining** — full outdoor living setup, not just a token patio chair
What makes this property unique
Two full king suites, uncommon for a 2-bedroom at this size and price point. Genuinely walkable to the neighborhood park and Lakeview Park Beach, not just a short drive. Backyard fire pit and full outdoor dining setup. Driveway sized for a boat and trailer plus a tow vehicle. Central air and heat, washer/dryer, and Roku Smart TVs throughout.
