Second time staying here

We again came to stay here for the birding festival in Ohio. So quiet, cozy, and relaxing with sounds and breezes of Lake Erie out the window. All the amenities you could need and plenty that are a nice bonus. Walking distance to several good restaurants, and a super comfy bed at the end of our adventure filled days.

Very nice accommodations

Our host was helpful and communicative. The condo is a nice space, very clean, plenty of space, with a beautiful view of lake and close to many Port Clinton attractions. Our stay was off season, so many things were closed, but we can imagine that in season the condo would be ldeal to stay while visiting the islands at Lake Erie.

This condo is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There are a lot of little extras that I wouldn’t have thought to bring. The town is very nice as well, with some excellent restaurants and friendly locals. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Good location

This was a great location for what we had planned and with Lake Erie access! It was an older condo complex and could use some updates, although we had plenty of space. We enjoyed the beach and had all the amenities we needed for our two night stay.

Great host

Marie was a dream of a host and responded quickly when I reached out to her, resolving an issue with the water heater. Marie has her property loaded with anything you would need for a day at the lake/beach when in season. The only drawback about my stay was there was construction work of some sort going on with pickup trucks and a cement truck just outside the window, taking away from the view. It was, however, nice to walk out the back door and be only steps from the private beach. I overall enjoyed my stay. I would go back to this property if I travel to Port Clinton again.
