Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Port Clinton
We bought this house house to stay engaged with our children and so we can vacation together. We all live in the greater Cleveland area but as they got older it was harder to get together. This house works out perfectly. We let everyone know when we will be there and everyone comes up when they can.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We think you will love every minute. From sunrise over Sandusky Bay until you see the moon reflecting off the water. The views are breathtaking. We think you will also love the beach, as we have one of the few private beaches in the whole area. Ours is just steps away from the patio! Many of our guests really love just sitting quietly and enjoying the beach and the views. The real caboose gives our house something unique and adds great personality while serving as a comfortable spot for up to four people.

Sandusky Bay - Port Clinton Vacation

Review Submitted: 08/29/11
Excellent vacation rental for the Sandusky / Lake Erie Islands area. We gathered here for our annual girls getaway and had an excellent time. The only thing missing was the "Cabana Boy" to serve us drinks on the beach. Very convenient for jet skiers with a boat launch only 10 minutes down the street (Hanks on the Bay). We were close enough to enjoy a jet ski trip down the river (a must do!) and a few drinks at the Cove. The beach was beautiful and we enjoyed it all day and night (campfires). The house was roomy and the caboose was perfect for the girls that wanted to get away and get some shut-eye. We didn't leave the property except to enjoy a jet ski ride or two (we were able to keep them on the beach at night - saving us time from launchinig everyday). Great place and we plan on going back next year. The owners were very helpful and even left us a nice welcome gift. (something rarely heard of these days!). I highly recommend this place for families and a girls getaway weekend.

Bay House was a charming place and we loved the privacy. The great room was wonderful; we could all be together. Loved the patio with the umbrella tables. It was so fun to eat out there. The kitchen was very well equipped. The second refrigerator was fabulous. We felt right at home.

My husband and our family vacationed at this home with two other families and we had a fantastic time. The house is positioned ideally next to the lake and the mornings and evenings are really lovely. The kids loved playing on the beach and there was plenty of lawn for the adults to indulge in a cornhole tournament! The house was stocked with all kitchen needs - the only thing we could have used more of were kitchen towels to dry the dishes since there is no dishwasher. Also, if you have a large group like we did (6 adults and 6 children) you may want to bring a few extra bath towels. Other than that - the house has everything you will need to have a comfortable and enjoyable vacation. The owner is great to work with - available to answer any questions. Thanks Mike!!!
Owner response:Thank you. It was our pleasure and we have added more towels.

The house was really clean and comfortable. We so enjoyed the view with the eagles, heron, and all birds. Had good fiishing. Close to lots of fun things to do--Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay, African Safari Park. We had beautiful weather so didn't spend much time indoors. Owners were very helpful. We were celebration our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our family. It was great.

What a lovely vacation home on Sandusky Bay! We loved the view of the bay as soon as we stepped inside. We enjoyed reading in the loft, on the swing and on the beach. It was a great place for our family to spend time together. The caboose is a fun place for guests to spend the night. We were a short drive from Marblehead Lighthouse and the Kelly's Island Ferry. Other attractions not too far away included Seneca Caverns and the Rutherford B Hayes home and presidential library.

Family from Cleveland, Columbus and Illinois met for the first time to vacation together A total of 9 adults and 2 kids. The home provided plenty of room for people to be together or to have their own space. The caboose was a neat experience for the kids. The views of the bay were awesome. We spent every day either relaxing, swimming, or sight seeing at Cedar Point Amusement Park, Put-n-Bay and the light house at Marblehead. We even enjoyed a fire on the beach. Would highly recommend a vacation here.

Our family had leased this house for a week of R & R -- and we certainly had that ! The atmosphere and scenery was wonderful. The house was very spacious, and we definitely enjoyed relaxing in the large great room. The caboose was definitely inviting. Thank you for this wonderful week.

What a great place! We had a great family time with children & grand children. The weather was wonderful, the cottage is very well maintained and equipped and the caboose was a big hit! The owner was great to work with! Great location - lots of privacy during the week, not overloaded on the weekend and close to lots of activity and reasonable shopping for food and supplies.

We were fortunate enough to spend a week at this awesome house on the Sandusky Bay. My grandkids loved sleeping in the caboose and enjoyed the big yard and beach. It was very private but close to everything we wanted. It was so nice to have the extra frig in the garage and all the outdoor chairs came in handy for our group. I would highly recommend this home on the bay and hope to spend another vacation here in the future.

FANTASTIC! My family and I had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and the bay view was breath taking. We had a great time eating outside on the patio and playing Bocce ball in the big spacious yard. My two little boys had so much fun sleeping in the caboose every night and playing on the beach every day. The beach house is close to a lot of fun places. I highly recommend going to the African Safari and of course Put-in-Bay. The Marblehead light house was close by and easy to get to so was Mon Ami winery and restaurant. (They have children's menus) I would definitely stay here again.
