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!

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.

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.

Perfect Bachelorette House

As the MOH of my best friend’s wedding, I was tasked with finding arrangements for the bachelorette weekend and this house was a no brainer when I saw the listing. Upon arrival, all of us girls fell in love with how modern and cute the house was decorated and designed. All appliances were very nice. There were plenty of essential items provided by the hosts that were so appreciated. Look no further if you want the most adorable and convenient house for your Put-In-Bay or Port Clinton stay!! Thank you hosts!

Great place to stay on Catawba

The property was perfect for my friend and I. We stayed for two nights to ice fish. The driveway was big enough for my truck and trailer and could have held another vehicle. The house is very nice and clean and very organized. They had many of the things that make a stay better such as good cookware, lots of spices and utensils and everything you need to cook meals. The bathrooms were great and had plenty of towels and supplies. They had coffee and sugar and paper towels and some condiments. The house was warm even with the super low temps. No shortage of hot water. The washer and dryer were great and they had detergent and dryer sheets for us. Awesome place and great hosts.

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!!

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.

It was so nice being able to come to a nice and clean house after spending the day at put in bay.. Everything was tidy and clean.. The owners walked me through all the questions I had with ease.. We actually forgot something there and the owner went out of her way to make sure we got the items back.. Wonderful experience..
