Great house for family trips

We had 18 people ages 0-75 and we found the house very accommodating. Lots of bedrooms and communal space to hang out after a day at cedar point. The house had many different amenities- we didn’t have to use any of the bags, toilet paper or soaps that we brought along. Lots o babies items too- pack n play, travel bassinet, high chair, plastic bowls and cutely. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, that needs “tweaking”

The front yard lacked weekly mowing and shrubs were overgrown. ( didn’t look like picture) House was beautifully decorated and beds were comfy. When the washer and dryer was being used, the circuit breaker popped at times. Carpets and rugs throughout the house were heavily soiled. Cleanliness could be improved. But if you’re looking for a good location? This home is within Walking distance to the pier, jet express and wonderful restaurant’s.

Family reunion

This house was a perfect place for our family reunion. We had 15 staying there, ages from 7 to 73. The bedroom & bathroom on the first floor worked well for my brother-in-law who does not do well with stairs. Plenty of things to do in the area for all ages. Many places/things to do within walking distance of the house. I would definitely come back here again.

Volleyball team stay

This was the perfect spot for a group of 5 girls and their parents to stay (and we could have fit more). Only a 5 minute drive to Cedar Point and an 10 minute drive to the sports center where we attended a volleyball tournament. We were also in walking distance to the downtown restaurants and night life. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect family reunion weekend

Our family loved our stay in this cute and comfortable home. Plenty of space for the 19 of us to hang out together - playing games, watching movies, cooking and eating meals - and to retreat from the large group too. We enjoyed Sandusky - walked through the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning (just steps from the front door!), and the waterfront park a few blocks away. We drove to a beach for swimming, only about 25 minutes away. We would all love to stay here again!

Pinterest Worthy Property

Our family of 6 adults and 7 kids, ages 0 to 65, had more than enough rooms and bathrooms to make this stay comfy. We had a blast playing the dozens of provided games on property. Downtown is a bit quiet on Mondays, most businesses were closed on Mondays, but you are in walking distance of multiple restaurants, parks, and even a splash pad! The property manager was quick to answer any questions we may have had via text. Check in and out was simple and easy. For being an old property it was shockingly sound proof. Great for early risers that are staying with night owls and waking up at very different times. Loved it and would definitely stay again!

Awesome stay in Sandusky

"The blue house" in Sandusky (as our grandchildren talk about it" was perfect for our family vacation. There were 19 of us all together, with children ranging from 2-14, and 10 adults and we all fit, leaving one bedroom open! The 2 dining rooms were a super feature--one for adults and one for the children. We have rented many houses for these vacations and it is truly rare to find a house with this much seating for meals. The kitchen was also probably the best equipped we have ever had--even a waffle maker, which we never had a chance to use, lots of kids dishes and silverware, and everything else you could imagine needing. The only downside of the kitchen was the small dishwasher, so with a large group we needed to run it often and finally resorted to using paper products. We all loved being a block from the water and the bike and walking path there. The park across the street is also beautiful and was a wonderful backdrop for family pictures. We also spent an hour or so one morning in the Sandusky library for a change of pace for the kids. It is a beautiful old building, and has a great children's section. The East Harbor State Park (about 8 miles away) has a beautiful beach that was not crowded and very family-friendly because of the shallow water extending way out. We loved spending time on the back patio, reading and talking with one another--so peaceful and comfortable. Jeff was immediately available for any questions. We made so many great memories.

July 4th 2023 - Sandusky, Ohio

The property was as listed, however there were so details that were not clear. Only 1 bathroom and 1 bedroom on ground floor. It was a double bed in a small room. Upstairs has 7 bedroom but two of them were throughways to the other end of the upstairs hall. One upstairs bathroom was the same. This is not a good floor plan upstairs and might not be code. Great location for downtown Sandusky to see and do the local events. Jeff the Owner was easy to communicate with. Lots of knick-knack decorations, but too many for little kids running around. Almost no closets. Dresser are cheap IKEA type furnishings that are falling apart. Had to repair several during my stay.

Perfect weekend getaway!

Visited Sandusky with a group of families to celebrate a birthday at Cedar Point. Was very lucky to find this property available for the long holiday weekend - it was perfect! The beds and pillows are comfy (especially after a day spent walking around CP!), the dining spaces & kitchen were very accommodating, the kids loved that the rooms had their own tvs and all of us loved how spacious and charming the house was, including the back patio which offered a wonderful ambiance. The location was amazing - we walked downtown to restaurants, shops, parks, piers and playgrounds, and also found a splash pad nearby. Communication with the hosts was easy, they were very accommodating and their recommendation for a local baker was spot on! We had a lovely time and hope to make it back again!
