Perfect place for Family & Friends to get together in a large group. Booked for a group of 16 and had room for plenty more. Clean, comfortable, and updated. The pictures do not do it justice!! while it reads as 3 separate condos or spaces, they all were connected in the perfect way. All 16 people loves the property and we will definitely be booking again. Amazing rental for Put-in-Bay, Port Clinton, and Lake Erie Islands!!

We had an amazing time, location was perfect less than 1.5 miles from the jet express, so we walked over there. The friendship station next door is perfect if you haven’t tried the chicken there you are missing out! Would definitely come back in the future.

Stayed here for a wedding with 13 of our friends! It’s a great location, right next to a 24 hour liquor/convenience store that also sells the best fried chicken! 5 mins away from the ferry to get to Put In Bay, walking distance to a Mcdonald’s. The host is very nice, communicates well, and easy to get a hold of. They even laid out cornholes for us for when we got back from the wedding. Big space for everyone to hang out, lots of board games to choose from. Would stay here again!

Great experience

This property was perfect for our large family! 8 bedrooms offered everyone their own bed and private bedroom instead of having to use a bunch of couches and pull out couches. The in-law suit was perfect for the young couple and their baby. Plenty of bathrooms. The two kitchens were very well stocked as was the rest of the house. There was nothing we were lacking. Very clean property Great location, too. Close to the beaches and lots to do in the area. Host was wonderful! Very responsive and nice to work with. Highly recommended this property

You will want to come back next year

Place came with so many extras..a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom, 2 outdoor gas grills, 1 charcoal grill, and one outdoor griddle, yard games, sand toys, beach chairs. Don't let the location behind the gas station keep you from renting this. Also, the free use of the pool at the 1812 bar was so much fun. Perfect for our family! Sheryl was always quick to respond to my calls and texts! A+++

Vacation Time for Extended Family

The property was fine for our group. Proximity to Cedar Point was key for the teens in the group. Lake Erie was a new venue for all of us. We were able to enjoy the Port Clinton City Beach, the community pool, charter fishing for walleye in Lake Erie followed by grilling fresh fish for all was a group highlight. The "city" setting was a different experience for us. Kids had to be driven to venues, and were unable to just "walk to the beach."

Extended Family

This was an amazing time away with my 4 adult children, their spouses, and 12 grandkids (ranging in age from 15 months to 20 years). There was enough room for everyone to feel comfortable yet be together and create such wonderful memories! Everything you need and more is on site for a relaxing time away. I really appreciated the communication with our host, Sheryl, as she periodically text just to make sure all was well! We were a bit hesitant at first because it is directly behind a gas station on a relatively busy street , but honestly, it didn’t affect our stay at all. As a matter of fact, the family could be as loud as they wanted - we didn’t bother a soul!

30th Birthday House! 5 Stars for a big group

I had a group of about 18 stay at this house for my 30th birthday in late July and we had the BEST experience with the home and host! We had PLENTY of room as we rented the entire home for the group, but renting parts of the home is also an option for smaller groups. The home is well kept and newly renovated in some areas. Everyone enjoyed having plenty of bathrooms and seating areas to hang in our downtime. The home is a quick drive or walk to anywhere in Port Clinton. The host was more than accommodating for ALL requests! Sheryl was very responsive and even answered a late night urgent call when we had some confusion on the passcode to part of the house (it was our fault). The host was very patient throughout our whole weekend stay and made sure to cover every detail prior to and during our stay. Thank you for making my 30th the best birthday yet!

Amazing Weekend

My fantasy football group was able to have an amazing weekend and got our college friends all back together under 1 roof again. The house was great for having everyone in 1 spot and able to hang out all together. Plenty of room inside and outside for cooking/cards/games. Easy 30 minute walk to the Jet Express Ferry over to Put In Bay and around 15 minute walk to Port Clinton Beach.

The beds were super comfy! There were plenty of blankets and pillows as well. Lots of great communication with the property owner. She gave us lots of ideas for things to do while we were there and was very helpful with my many questions. The pool was great and the beach was nice too. Both were only a short drive from the house. We also enjoyed taking the ferry to the island of Put-in-Bay. Would highly recommend!!

Beyond our expectations!

We read all of the reviews and knew that the space would be adequate for our big family and that the place would be clean, but there is not a price that can be placed on an immaculate facility where EVERYTHING has been thought of and the communication is excellent! We simply can't say enough good. Perfect location. Perfect hosts. Perfect accommodations. DO NOT HESITATE to book! We didn't want for anything even though we made all of our meals there and had family members ranging from infant to senior. Perfection!

Great place, great owner, ease of process, and cleanliness.

Cheryl the owner was super easy to work with. Super easy process and was ready well before our group got there. The place had ample places to relax inside and out with a very nice patio area to BBQ and just chill after a long day on the boat. Very clean, with every little detail taken care of. I will definitely be coming and staying again for my annual guys trip. All the beds were queen sized which was amazing, as well as super comfy. Felt like I was visiting my aunts, grandma's place with the warm feeling. Thank you very much for the great place to stay for the weekend.
