This was an excellent home base for our Spring fishing trip. The house is on a quiet street but still close to the ferry, Catawba Island boat ramp, and Twin Oast Brewery. The driveway is a little tight to back a boat in, but long enough for several cars.

Birthday Getaway

We had a wonderful stay, this property is in walking distance to the Millers Ferry if you want to go to Put in Bay, there is also a bar/restaurant Catawba Inn that you can walk to and provides live music. Every year we do a fishing charter with my Dad, Brothers and my Husband and this will hands down be the place we book when we return next year!!

Great location and stay!

Location was a quick drive to the winery we were visiting at. Would love to stay here again in the summer since it’s just a short walk to the Miller Ferry. Place was large enough for my big family and can’t stress how the flexibility of bringing pups was a huge convenience for us! We (including the pups!) will be back. Thank you!

Awesome

Perfect house for my family of 7 and 3 pets. Lots to see and do in the Port Clinton area. Owner of home was very nice and the sign up and communication was top notch. Other than the worries of mayflies that are prevelent during the month of June (which were just about non-existent), my family and I had a great vacation.

Winter getaway :)

Loved our short, little winter getaway to Catawba. We dock our boats in the summer at Cedar Point, and store them in Catawba and Sandusky. The house was convenient to both storage facilities, was very well decorated, and allowed our pups to join! All in all, it was perfect for our little family and friends! Thanks again!

Great for various ages

We appreciated all the small, thoughtful things at this house. A guitar, a swing, white noise machines, a baby chair, bicycles, throw blankets, propane for the fire pit. It didn’t feel like this rental was stocked with cast-offs from other houses, all the dishes were immaculate and matching, there were plenty of towels and pillows. The beds were comfortable, everything was bright, clean, and easy to access.

Catawba Island - Walk to Milker FerryThis home has all the things you need for a relaxing vacation. The home had the essentials you would need for your stay, soap, paper towels, tissues, shampoo/conditioner, etc.It was very clean and well kept. We really enjoyed the electric fireplace in the living room and master bedroom. We used the propane tank fire pit every night outside on the large patio. It's located in a very quiet neighborhood and has a large yard for family fun activities. The house is a very short walk to Miller Ferry and Catawba Inn. Very pet friendly, no carpet. Amanda was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We hope to visit again in 2026!

Fantastic Home in the Perfect Location!

We rented this lovely home for a winter girls' weekend and it was perfect! The photos of the rooms/spaces are accurate and the hosts thought of every detail to ensure their guests have a wonderful stay. We had some trouble unlocking the door on the first day, but the hosts responded immediately and resolved the issue.This house is central to everything in Marblehead, Catawba and Port Clinton. While we mostly visited local establishments, we equally enjoyed just hanging out at the house in front of the electric fireplace. The neighborhood was very quiet and the house is very cozy.I've stayed at many rental properties and this is one of the best.
