HI Larain, Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to rent your beautiful condo. The fireplace and bottle of wine was a lovely added touch, which just made our anniversary celebration that much more enjoyable. Thank you also for all of the information you provided in your e-mail and at the condo. it came in very handy. You go above and beyond the call of duty as a hostess and it does not go unnoticed. We will definitely be contacting you again when we visit the area and recommending you to all of our friends.

Great condo by the lake - was an excellent, relaxing long wknd w my wife + 3 yo. Perfect for a toddler w the playground, beach, pool. For East Coasters used to the Atlantic Ocean, think of Port Clinton + the environs as a much smaller + quieter version of say Myrtle Beach or Ocean City - obviously Lake Erie is not the Altantic Ocean + obviously Port Clinton not as developed as East Coast beach towns - but it has all you need for a nice relaxing trip - esp if you're traveling w a toddler! 1 tip - check out the 1812 rstrnt in the historic hotel right in town X the bridge - beautiful, historic place.

Larain's waterfront condo was a wonderful experience for my husband and I and are three little grandsons. View was amazing and the breeze and waves through the windows was so peaceful. Amenities were great and the pool was wonderful and warm. Jacuzzi was really nice. Very close to ferry boats to Put In Bay, Kelley's Island and Sandusky. McCarthy's is a great place to eat too. Larain is a true pleasure to work with and so kind. We'd go again!

Over the past 15 years of coming to Port Clinton every summer this condo is by far my favorite place to stay, which is why this was my 3rd (or was it 4th) time I've booked the same place. Convenient to everything, and still nice and quiet. As a matter of fact, I've got numerous friends that want to rent condo's from the same owner since she's wonderful to deal with. Keep the deposit from this year as my deposit for the summer of 2013 please!

Owner response: Thank you Jeanelle for such a wonderful review. We enjoyed you showing up Camp Perry and explaining the competition, your a class act. Because of you we are going to start practice shooting at a range, but no need to worry. lol The Condo will be waiting for you next summer. Have a wonderful rest of the summer. Larain

We greatly enjoyed the location of this condo- close to town, the Jet Express, and it's own beach! The pool was a very nice feature as well. I would recommend this condo to a couple or a singe person, as the size is too cozy for more people.

We enjoyed our first trip to Port Clinton. This condo was very clean and located very conveniently to everything we wanted to do around Lake Erie. The pool was beautiful. There was room for our family of five, but I would describe this as a one bedroom, not two bedroom condo. The "sunroom" has a futon and is considered a bedroom. Then, there is a sofa bed in the living area. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice to have things like beach towels and toilet paper provided.

Waterfront II--Port Clinton, Ohio

Guest Nancy

Review Submitted 08/14/12

My family, of three generations, stayed at Waterfront II condo the week of July4th. We cannot say enough as to how beautiful and well maintaned the grounds around the condo were. The condo, itself, was great. Everything a family would need (and more) was there just waiting for a family to move in. The condo was comfortably furnished and very clean. The living area is very roomy and bedroom just a nice size. Plenty of closet space. Kitchen is great and well arranged and supplied for cooking. Washer and dryer came in very handy. The scenes on Lake Erie were wonderful just to sit and relax and watch activity on the lake. There are activites for every age, some within walking distance, and others a short driving distance. While there, we enjoy going to Put-In-Bay by ferry, a day at Cedar Point, one of the best amusement parks ever, visiting Marblehead Lighthouse, minature golf, and just fishing from the banks of the lake. There are very nice restaurants in area - priced to meet every budget. We enjoyed Mon Ami, Phil's Inn, Traveler's Inn and just cooking at the condo. There are activities for all ages. My family hopes to make this a yearly event. Our condo owner was so helpful in answering all questions we had prior to rental and left many brochures and phamphlets relating to activities in the area. The rental info and condo requirements were clearly laid out. We couldn't have had a better time anywhere.

Owner response: Hi Nancy, Thanks so much for your great review. Larain and I are so glad we had a condo available for you since our condos are usually rented 3 to 5 months in advance. I just bought this condo after negotiating with the previous owner for 3 years. You were our first guests after the purchase. Larain and I worked for 3 days and nights till 1:30AM to get the condo ready for you and your family since you were coming from so far away, and we strive to make our guests comfortable. I am the business side but Larain is the decorator and comfort guru. She started with a nice condo and made it a Comfortable, Homey, and Beautiful condo 3 days later, just for you and all our other loyal guests. We are soooo glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you in the future. Please tell your friends about us. Thanks again Bill & Larain

This was a beautiful condo and quite spacious with plenty of beds to accomodate 6 people comfortably. The pool was beautiful and there were grills and picnic tables available (poolside). The condo sat right on the harbor and the beach and waterfront of lake erie was directly across the street. The restaurants were close and very nice. The jet ferry to put in bay and surrounding islands was a 2 min. drive. There was also a swimming beach 5 min down the road and the state parks were about 20 min drive away. (Absolutely beautiful and very clean beaches and bike trails!!) Shopping and grocery was 10 min down the road. Everything was incredibly close and very convienent. The condo was equipped with everything for a stay away from home. Thank you for making our trip to lake erie a pleasant and easy to plan vacation! We would definetly recommend this to family and friends!

We took my mother to Larain's condo for her 94th birthday. It was a pleasure watching her enjoy the waterfront view and all of nature.The condo was clean and apppeared as described. The decor made you feel like you traveled thousands of miles to an Island escape, however it was only a short drive from our Michigan home . . . making it even better. We found some very nice restaurants to take mom to. She really enjoyed the atmosphere of the Mon Ami restaurant, while we enjoyed sampling the wine from the local vineyards. We even took mom to the African Animal Safari so she could see animals that she had never seen before, all from the comfort and safety of the car. Larain was a pleasure to work with and my husband and I would like to return to the condo by ourselves to enjoy it once again! Thank you Larain for helping us make mom's 94th birthday special by sharing your lovely condo with us. We are excited to return to have a different experience by trying other local attractions that we were not able to do since this was "Mom's special Birthday trip". We look forward to returning soon.

We had a wonderful time staying in Port Clinton. Our main purpose on this trip was to go to Cedar Point. However, because of all the wonderful info. Miss Larain gave us our trip was so much more. It was so nice to come back to the house and relax with the sounds of Lake Erie and the sunsets were amazing!!! We will be coming back to see all the attractions we didn't have time for and to visit our new little home away from home.

I am soooo sorry to be so slow, Lorain in writing this review. I am a guy-nuff said. The condo is in the best spot it could be in. You have to get up to the window when looking down to find the shore below-it is that close. You look across the lake right at South Bass Island-and a pair of binoculars is there to enjoy the view! What else can you ask for! The decor is so creative. Lorain has impecable taste. We felt we were in a resort. It is so clean, so well kept. It shows the personality of one who cares about her property and her guests. We will be back! My wife and I took my 94 year old dad to do something he has never done and that is to stay on Lake Erie and enjoy one of his favorite places. He had a blast. He wants to go back and wants to stay with Lorain. Thanks so much for providing such a lovely experience for our accomodations.

We had a wonderful time in Port Clinton, and this Condo was a big part of it! The location is close to town and many restaurants, and very nicely decorated. The price is very good too, very clean and well-maintained. The new pool was absolutely awesome! The only small complaint we had was the description as a 2 bedroom. Technically there is, but we thought there were 2 bedrooms in addition to the sun room. You can easily sleep 6 in this condo.

Thank you for sharing your home with my family. The house was impeccably clean and beautiful. It was truly a place to relax. All of the information you included was extremely appreciated! You truly went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we could possibly need. The only regret is the kids slept in the room facing the beach so I missed sleeping while listening to the waves!

The location of the condo was excellent. We visited over the July 4th weekend. It was a very busy place. It was great that the condo complex was "gaited". Laraine had everything you would need in the condo.

Owner response: Hi Donna The reason the complex is guarded is so the Waterfronts owners/renters have a place to park since the Jet Express customers were taking our spaces. Thanks and hope to see you soon. Larain

Great place to stay. Offers much more than it tell you. A place that made you feel like you were home, but still away from home. Very clean, and cozy. Can't wait to go back. I think I would love to try it in the winter and get to use the fireplace. While we were there, there was a big party going on, and when the clock striked eleven, all became quiet. It was great, even those who live there year long follow the rules. Our two grand daughters loved the place and the residence bird that looks like he can't fly, but runs around. We all hated to leave.

Ok for a day, not for a longer stay

Guest JB

Review Submitted 11/09/10

This is the second time we stayed at these Waterfronts condos. Firs time for a month in 2009 and 2 months in this one in 2010. It does have a nice view. It's kind of small for a longer stay. It needs a lot of attention. TV so called "cable" is not "cable", its a glorified antenna, you get about 10 channels on a good day from Detroit and Toledo. The kitchen silverware consists of 3 medium and 4 "baby" forks, sorry situation. Toilet is in dire need of repair. Who plunges their toilet while on vacation and waits 15 minutes for it to refill. No way this unit would accomodate any more than 2 to 3 people comfortably. Our parking pass blew away (really) when we opened our car door and we were charged $75.00 for a paper replacement. We left early before our time was up due to the bugs on the lake and in the unit. The unit has no dish washer, no washer or dryer, no garbage disposal in the sink. Cost us $80.00 to wash clothes for 2 months. There are better more equiped units in the development for the same price that has all the normals missing in this unit. The neighbors below and next door took over the whole front and back yard with their weekend parties. Look around for a better deal if you plan to even stay a week!!!!

Owner response: I work very hard to provide a clean, well- equipped and comfortable condo for my customers. All you need to do is to read all of the other reviews and you will see that the vast majority of the time I succeed. You are the first people to tell me my condo needs alot of attention, as my other renters per their reviews, rave how well- decorated, clean and well -equipped it was. The complex is due to get cable next year but when you booked the VRBO ad stated there was an antenna TV with digital channels, not cable. After you left we tried the living and harbor room TV's and received over 20 Hi-Def digital channels on each TV. On the VRBO ad it does not state that the condo has a washer & dryer, dishwasher or garbage disposal. I advised you in your final letter, prior to your arrival, directions to the nearest laundromat since there was no washer & dryer. Also, listed in the final letter and your lease agreement, which you signed, it states if any passes, swimming or parking, are lost or not left you will be charged $75 because that is the same amount I am charged by the Condo Management. You even complained about the neighbors, in every other comments that mentions the neighbors stats how much my customers loved the neighbors because they are so much fun. You even complained you had to plunge the commode with the plunger, I supplied, when you clogged it, unbelievable. Finally, I, myself, cleaned the very dirty condo you left in extreme disarray. I am sorry you were dissatisfied but I very glad you are in the EXTREME MINORITY.

My daughter was visiting from Southern California and she was bringing her fiance. We wanted him to go back to California with good memories of Northeast Ohio. What could Ohio possibly have to offer to someone from Sunny California? Port Clinton area and the condo was just the ticket. Wow, what a beautiful location. I doubt you could find a better view than this condo offers and the price makes it a steal!!!

Owner response: Joyce, thank you for that very nice comment. The view is spectacular, if the condo was in Southern California, with this view, I bet the rate would be 10 times as much. Looking forward to your return visit. Thanks, Larain

Our family of 5 just returned from a wonderful long weekend as summer comes to a close. Lorain was fabulous; helpful with every detail. The condo itself was great, well kept and stocked with little things beyond the basics. Nice little touches to make the stay more enjoyable. The nightly rate as compared to the view is a STEAL! Not to mention the convenience of the property with children. (Great beach, pool, play/swing area) Even the other complex property owners were exceptionally nice. Overall our experience was exceptional and plan to utilize the property again next year........that is of course if Lorain will have us after our 10 month old played hide and seek with a few of the decorative items.

We stayed to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and what a wonderful, relaxing long weekend! We've been to the area several times and this was by far the best. Very good value considering nearby hotels charging nearly the same only without the spectacular views and having your own "home". We will definitely be back. Larain does a wonderful job of communicating and making sure everything you need is available and that you have a pleasant stay. The condo is in excellent condition, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all that you need. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! Thanks Larain! Hope to be back next year!

What a great week on the lake! I recently stayed a week at this condo with my new husband, sister and her family. We were all born in raised in Port Clinton but wanted to eliminate stress on the parent by staying at there houses, so we rented this condo. It was in a great location. Did I mention I was visiting for my wedding! We were able to all gather here to get ready and take time by the pool to relax. I have never felt like I was in such a vacation spot and I grew up here my whole life. Larain made things very easy and the accommodations were as promised. The pool was fantastic and for a weekend in July was much needed. We had a little trouble getting wi-fi and had to contact management and it was difficult to give to children baths due to a seal on the tub that was broken, but it was manageable. As a warning be careful walking down the little flight of stairs by the doorway we had 3 family members fall (including myself the day before the wedding and had to seek medical treatment) down them. They get very slick. These minor problems will not hinder us from returning. We had a great time, loved the view, and will return for another visit to see family. Thank you Larain and family for sharing your space with us!

We stayed for three nights in early July. We were very pleased with the condo. It is nicely furnished, roomy, comfortable and exceptionally clean. It easily accommodated two adults and two teens. The view of Lake Erie is outstanding. The location is convenient (within walking distance) to restaurants and shops in downtown Port Clinton. The pool, beach and grounds were very nice, and the people in the complex were very friendly. It's a very nice, tranquil resort atmosphere. You can really relax here. This was a great choice, and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially those with families. We look forward to staying again.

My husband and I stayed at the Harbor Side Condo this summer, and we could not have asked for a better location. It was our anniversary, and we wanted to stay close to the water in a clean and friendly environment. Larain made our stay wonderful. The condo was clean, and perfectly decorated with Island Paradise flair. The fieplace, and Harbor room added a nice touch to the Condo. You could sit and watch the boats pass by. Or take a dip in the pool or beach across the street. Plenty of linen and beach towels provided. the kitchen has everything a cook would need to prepare a meal. Only minutes from entertainment and Jet express. We danced the night away at Mon-Ami winery. We plan to visit again soon when another romantic getaway is needed!

Thanks again for everything, Larain! Your place was very nice, clean, and well taken care of. Sleeping right next to the lake,(literally) was one of my favorite parts of our trip. We really enjoyed our stay, and would reccomend your condo as a great place to stay!

Just stayed a week at the condo. Accomodations were great. Very clean and comfortable, with everything that we needed. Lake Erie was literally 15 feet from our window. COuldn't have asked for more. Will definately stay herethe next time we come back to the area.

We stayed at this condo in June 2008. I really enjoyed being right on the water. It was clean and well kept. I also enjoyed the pool very much, I think it has been redone since the picture was taken. We had good weather too!!

Thanks so much for the rental of your condo... I so enjoyed sleeping next to the water every night..watching the shore birds, boats, waves along with Sunset & the glowof sunrise made this location a must for the shore of Lake Erie. The condo was clean, inviting and an ideal location on the lake. I can't wait to come up this winter to see and hear Lake Erie's winter sounds. Thanks again for your communication thru this whole rental contract. Sincerely Kathryn Clark Port Clinton Yacht Club Member Parma , Ohio

Dear Larain, Our stay in your condo was so relaxing. So clean and nicely decorated. It just doesn't get any better than sleeping in the Harbor Room with the windows open and listening to the waves. We loved being able to walk to the Festival on Madison Street on Saturday evening. Weather was perfect for using the beach & pool. A GREAT place to stay. Hope we can come back. Thanks. Also, a big thank you to Bill for his help.

Dear Larain, My family and I would like to thank you for providing such a charming and wonderful place for us to stay while vacationing in my "old home town" for our family and my PCHS reunions. Our bedroom was literally 25' from Lake Erie. Our two children loved the pool and beach. I enjoyed the 2nd story view of the lake and Put-in-Bay. The surrounding were quiet. We were comfortable all ten days. I would recommend your condo to friends. Thank you again. Sincerely, Daryl Muncey

We were very pleased with the location. Right on the water - the sound of the waves is so calming. I could see that the owner takes pride in ownership. Very generous with supplies and you feel like you are right at home. Would have liked a queen or king bed, but we made do. Enjoyed all the local activities and the fact that you can walk to bars, restaurants, and the ferry. Had a wonderful day at Put-in-Bay. Thanks Larain.

Owner response: Hi John, Thank you for your kind words on VRBO so others can read. John, I thought you knew that the daybed pulled out into a King Bed. I'm so sorry you didn't know, but it was stated in the VRBO ad. Next year we are replacing the bunk beds with a Queen bed and a TV in that room. I'm also replacing the couch with a sofa bed. We hope to see you next year. Have a wonderful rest of the summer. Thanks again, Larain

We had a blast! Condo is clean and well kept and is truly a 10 minute walk to the Jet Express. There is so much to do I only wish we could have stayed longer. We will return!
