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.

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!!

As advertised. Slept 8 of us (2 adults, 6 kids) comfortably. Kitchen had all the necessary pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Kids all said the internet worked well. Clean, comfortable and close to downtown Port Clinton and the city beach. Less than 45 minutes to Cedar Point Amusement park. Less that 90 minutes to Cleveland. We would highly recommend.

Great location and facilities

The communication from the property manager was faultless. Cindy communicated everything that was needed for our stay. The house was perfect for our group. It was very well maintained with quality fittings and fixtures. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood and close to everything that Port Clinton has to offer. We loved being able to cook meals in the beautiful kitchen. We will definitely be booking again when we are back in 2 years time. It is definitely our favourite house so far in Port Clinton!

Quaint ‘ole house with updates

I chose this house for price, location, two full baths and multiple bedrooms to accomdate myself, husband, adult children and a grandchild. It suited our needs well. The master bedroom on the upper level is HUGE and very nice. I can see a family with young sharing the space on the upper level alone. Nicely stocked with towels, bedding, blankets and kitchenware. The drive to the local attractions wasn’t that far and enjoyed fishing, swimming, island tours, Millers Ferry, Marblehead, etc. I definitely would recommend.

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.

Family Trip

The house was clean and well-prepared for us! We enjoyed our stay. There were some decorative items that had to be put up out of the way of our 1 year old and we had to use a chair to block the stairs, but overall it was safe for her. The light fixture/ fan over the doing table didn't work consistently. It seemed to be overheating and shutting off.

Awesome weekend in Port Clinton

I rented this property for a bachelorette party in Port Clinton at the beginning of June. It was absolutely perfect for our group of 10. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, spread out, and have fun! The check in and check out process was a breeze and Cindy was so easy to work with. The property was clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. One of the best things about this house is that it is a 15 minute walk to the Jet Express. This was important to me because I did not want anyone to have to drive to the Jet and back. Another plus was the rental price. It was a very competitive rate and an excellent value for the number of bedrooms, amenities, and square footage of the property. I would recommend this house to anyone!

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.
