I and my sons and a couple friends were going fishing on Saturday, September19. We all arrived on the 18th and spent the night and went fishing on the 19th. After fishing we spent the night of the 19th and then departed. The house comfortably slept 7 adults. The house was clean and all appliances worked. For a similar trip we would definitely stay there again.

Had a great weekend of fishing. The house is cleaned and comfortable and in a great location. It’s located a short distance from the downtown area and Jet Express which is very walkable or just a very short drive. The neighborhood was very quiet. We had 5 guys and everyone had space to sleep comfortably and places to relax in the evening. Check in and check out were easy. There are plenty of towels available and the beds were comfortable. This was a great place to stay for the weekend and would rent it again in the future.

Pros: Great location! We loved the front porch and that we could easily walk to the downtown area. The kitchen had what we needed and a few extras. The owner was very communicative and the check in and out process was very easy! Cons: The furniture and beds were dated and not very comfortable and the place had a weird older smell. Not a bad smell just older.

This has become our go to place to stay in the area. We come to Port Clinton two or three times a year, and this place is fantastic. You are walking distance to the downtown bars and restaurants, the beach area, and the ferry launch! Great location!!

Great house near downtown Port Clinton

Four friends up for a fishing trip. The house was clean, well stocked, roomy and comfortable. Good shower water pressure and the AC was strong! Short drive / walking distance to bars & restaurants in Port Clinton. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the location, walking distance to the lake and restaurants, the neighborhood is super quiet. Our only complaint and it’s small is no locks on the bathroom doors.

Very well maintained older home in a great neighborhood. I really loved the character of the house especially the covered front porch. We really enjoyed relaxing on the covered front porch in the morning and evening hours. Downtown Port Clinton and the Jet Express were a short walk away. Access and communication with the owner was excellent. We would stay there again if we are ever back in Port Clinton and the home is available.

Three day getaway

The property was clean, well equipped and mostly as advertised. Be aware that if you are planning on cooking, there are restrictions in the kitchen (no frying) due to fire code. Plan your meals accordingly.

Martin I very much appreciate you communicating so that the issues could be addressed. We did some redirecting of the downspouts and the subsequent downpours have not had the same effects!! Thanks for helping us make our space better!
