Lovely stay in Port Clinton!
The space was just right for our family trip! The home is welcoming and tidy. We enjoyed the board games, tire swing and playset in the backyard. The location was great jumping off point for going to the beach and exploring nearby attractions. Would definitely stay here again!

Fishing weekend!
Great little spot for 3 of us to stay while we enjoyed the bounty of Lake Erie. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and well decorated, and the back deck was a nice spot to relax and grill. Conveniently located to town amenities. Great place overall!T

Visiting Family
We were in the area visiting family. We literally were at the house just for sleeping. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet except for the passing trains. We thought it would keep us up at night but we got use to it.

Port Clinton Stay
We were 5 adults and 1 child, age 2 1/2 (family). We stayed for a week. The house was very nice, as pictured in VRBO, The decor was cute and the house was clean. Three of the four bedrooms were very roomy, and both the kitchen and the bathroom were well stocked. Communication with the owner was effortless and questions were answered promptly. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying again the next time we visit the area.

Great Vacation House
The house is beautifully decorated, and communication with the owners is exceptional! We loved the little details such as the welcome book where, in addition to pertinent information, each person involved in this small business was introduced. The location of the house was perfect. We would definitely stay here again if we decided to return to Ohio.

Such a cute house!
Very clean and nicely decorated, this house checked all of the boxes of what we were looking for in a weekend get-away.
A large backyard and play-set were perfect for the children in our group.
I would definitely recommend this clean, cute, and cozy house to anyone! I can’t wait to go back in the spring!
