We stayed the last week of June 2011 and it was perfect for our family (3 boys). The location of the cottage is centrally located to many attractions and water activities. While we were there, we visited Put-in-Bay (Adventure Bay is a must with kids) and Cedar Point. The cottage is very clean and spacious with all the amenties you need. The sunroom has an incredible view. Although there is a very small beach area in front of the property, we went to the East Harbor State Park Beach. We rented a boat from Clemons and took the kids skiing and tubing. It was a very fun vacation and the property owner, Jim, was a great host. You may see him on Shark Tank some day.

Very well kept, clean cottage with easy ten minute access to the lake. Jim and Diane were great hosts and really CARE about how your stay goes......I would highly recommend this cottage if looking for a place with a view, easy access to Lake Eire and the Islands, and close to the numerous family activities the Marbelhead/Sandusky area has to offer.
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words Brian. You are welcome back anytime. Folks, check us out. We are always ready to assist and as stated, ALWAYS provide clean accommodations and a friendly, relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Located directly on the water with spectacular views, Avalon on the Bay is the place for you. All our pictures you see are accurate. Not like some others you may have visited!

Recently my sister, cousin, and I stayed here. It was most enjoyable. The accommodations were excellent and the view was spectacular. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do; shop, swim, ferry ride to the islands, and just plain relax. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We enjoyed going out during the day and looked forward to returning to our "home" in the afternoon and evening. It was just perfect. Thanks to Jim and Diana for providing a great little get away. I do hope we can make it back someday.

We had a great time staying here. Everything was really clean & updated. The kids loved being able to walk out of the front door and fish right off the dock. It was very convenient being so close to Lakeside & Kelley's Island (which was the main reason for selecting this location). We will definitely come back here again!
Owner response:We are so glad that you had a great time and welcome you back anytime. Always clean, always peaceful and always friendly. Close to all the islands, ferries, shops, yet secluded and relaxing, Avalon on the Bay.

Wonderful location, close to all the things to see & do in the area. Perfect place to stay if you have a boat and want to be in the middle of everything. Nice dock, sheltered from wind & waves (fit my 23' boat perfectly). Very clean and well maintained cottage. The owners are very friendly, and went the extra mile to help us out. We (family of 4) had a great time, and would definately stay here again!

Overall our experience here was very good. We did a lot of fishing off the jetty in front of the cottage and caught fish! The view is spectular. The cottage was amazingly clean and very comfortable. The only drawback for us was that there was no grass. Rocks surround the cottage and jetty.

My wife and I have been staying here for several years. It has a fine view of Sandusky Bar Looking across to Johnson's Island. Civil War buffs will want to see the Confederate Officers' cemetery on the island. In inclement weather the glassed in front porch provides a comfortable place to read, puzzle and let the world go by. Right in front as well as in several nearby natures areas the bird watching is excellent. The cottage is clean, the appliances are well maintained and with a bit of improvising, we could make it work for my power wheelchair. From an accessibility standpoint the only drawbacks are the small bathroom, the need for a portable ramp on the front entrance and the gravel in froont and in the parking area. We get into the cottage by lowering the van ramp onto the first step and using s six foot ramp to get in from there.
