Buckeye Bungalow Charming and cozy cottage, close to everything

This well equipped 2 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bath cottage can be your base for Island hopping, family time at the beach or drive thru safari, Cedar Point, hunting, fishing, Put-In-Bay, or just decompressing. Only a 1/2 mile to town and the Jet Express, a short drive to Catawba, Marblehead and all the various nearby wineries and breweries. Our home is 20-25 minutes to the Sandusky/Cedar Point area. Don't forget Port Clinton is the walleye capital of the world, so bring your trucks and boats, we have plenty of parking and our garage has a fish cutting table and a freezer.

We have a Level 2 EV charger available if needed.

We also allow pets to come along. They are family too. There is $150 nonrefundable pet fee that will be added to your stay.

Great little getaway

The house was a great stay. Very comfortable, clean, and close to downtown. The Jet Express was an easy walk so didn’t have to pay for parking. Carrie was a great host and was very quick to respond to any questions and also just to check in to see if we needed anything. Definitely would recommend if needing a quick getaway and close to a lot of restaurants and beach.

Great Well-Equipped Home

Hi came with friends and family to fish for a week and we loved this house. It is well furnished. The beds were comfortable and really we had everything that we needed for a great week. We loved relaxing in the evening at the fire pit. We hope to come back again next year.

Great stay!

We had a great stay here. There was everything we could possibly need in the kitchen as well as the bathroom. Such a cute house. My grandson loved the porch tv where he could hang out and watch what he wanted. I would definitely recommend and hope to return again.

Location was ideal for walking to the downtown area. The house was cozy and quiet. In the backyard you could sit and enjoy the space and feel totally alone in your own area.

Nice pet friendly place to get away!

We took our dogs and family for a weekend up to the lake and this was great for us. There were many rooms for sleeping and relaxing. The fenced yard is small, but dogs liked it. It’s a short drive to the beach and downtown area or your could walk. Overall, relaxing and cute place!

Lake vacation with aging parents and our dogs

The house was very well furnished with lots of extras; clean but lots of decor. My husband and i wanted a vacation with my aging parents and our 2 dogs. This house was perfect for the 4 adults, the bedrooms are split up so we had "separate" areas. However, i had to sleep in the top bunk. Bunks beds as the 2nd bedroom isn't ideal but we made it work.

Nice and cozy!

Everything was as described and we had a great time and a wonderful stay. The only upset was that my grandson forgot/lost his precious 'Bluey friend' somewhere (maybe behind a bed or something) hopefully it will be found and returned. Definitely will return to this place.

Quiet Property

The house is just as described. Fully stocked kitchen, linen and bedding. We were travelling with 4 adults and our 2 dogs so the breakfast bar and TV trays worked for us. There was even a "bark box" for our fur babies. We spent an entire day at Cedar Point and really enjoyed the quiet retreat the house offers after a long day at the park. The owners checked in on us and where very responsive via text. Highly recommend.

Hard to find but private back yard was nice.

House is actually off the street address given...very frustrating to find after long drive. We placed quite a few pieces of trash we found in the house in their tip jar requesting monies for the cleaning crew and placed trash found in backyard on table in garage. We liked the property but felt it was rather expensive for what it provided. Everything was nicely labeled with all procedures and rules laid out.

Thanksgiving with family

We arrived the night before Thanksgiving to find a cute little bungalow. Everything was clean and tidy there was even a pumpkin pie in the fridge.😀. We ran into some trouble with our vehicle, that required us to stay a couple of days longer than we planned. Our host was very gracious, allowing us to stay the necessary time we needed. I would highly recommend this place.

Passing through

This property was great! If you are traveling with a doggo they have thought of everything! It was a very comfortable place for us to reset and rest for 2 nights. Our pup thoroughly enjoyed the back yard and we were able to play fetch off leash and enjoy a fire in the fire pit on the evenings. The communication was almost instant and super helpful. 10/10 recommend.
