Wonderful anniversary trip.

We had a wonderful stay for our anniversary. The condo was very comfortable and so close to the little beach and the pool. We loved having the beach and lovely view right outside the door. Marie was very nice and we got lucky enough to be able to stay an extra day. We would definitely come back!

Great location, so perfect

Spacious, and so close to the pool and beach. We loved it was the ground floor unit. Maria was awesome and responsive. It had everything that we needed for the weekend. Close to the bars and jet express. Loved it and would definitely stay at the same unit 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.

Easy access to beach, pool is practically in your backyard

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is FULLY equipped with everything you need. King size bed was nice and we loved the open area. Plenty of seating for everyone. The pool is literally right outside the back door, along with the beach area. I can't say enough about the owner Marie. She quickly answers all your answers and explained how to access the front door (key is in an access box on the railing) Just a great time all around!

End of summer

We had a short 4 day end of summer get away vacay and this was perfect! Exactly as described and such a beautiful view. Jet express is a short walk away for a fun quick commute to put in bay. Marie was a pleasure to communicate with and even suggested fun things to do locally.

Peaceful and cozy, with a beautiful view

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days during the birding festival at Magee Marsh. I would say this place is even better than the pictures, so spacious but also very cozy. We prepped meals in the kitchen with what was provided. We enjoyed walking to several restaurants and bars in the evening as well. After long days of hiking, we slept so soundly in the king sized bed. We loved being greeted with the view of the lake each morning. We would definitely stay here again.

Second stay

This was our second year staying at this location. Great location and neighborhood. Walking distance to the ferry, restaurants, shopping, & coffee shop. Right on the water. Other beach & fishing access close by. They did some recent renovations. Comfortable furniture but the main bed was hard for my preference. Great communication from the owner. Would recommend!

Awesome condo/location

This condo was very nice and clean. The owner, Marie, had everything stocked. Plenty of kitchen utensils. Plenty of bath towels. The bed was firm but comfy. Extremely quiet. Great view of Lake Erie. Communication w Marie was prompt. The location was 2 min walk to the Jet Express to Putin Bay. I highly recommend and will visit this condo again.

Disappointed

Not really as clean as mentioned. Windows filthy dirty. Very damp smell in kitchen. Sofa very uncomfortable. We were very disappointed in quality of furnishings, towels and bedding. But location was good. Close to pool and hot tub. Sorry we can’t say it was any better than that.

Most Excellent

Condo was comfortable and clean. Check-in and check-out could not have been simpler. Beach and view of the lake was awesome; sizable waterfront and shallow for a long way out. My son (14yo), myself (44yo) and mother (69yo) all lives it! Pool and hot tub were lovely; staff is diligently cleaning them every morning. Location of condo is ideal for all Lake Erie action. Friendly people all around the pool and lake areas. Impressively quiet even though it’s right by the jet express and road; really felt like an escape. The king bed was firm and slept great. Kitchen is functional. Highly likely to return and would certainly recommend to anyone. We preferred this condo association to The Shores in all categories; beach/pool, quietness, location and friendliness of people.
