Thank you for your review and positive feedback. We look forward to hosting you again.
Great get away close to Cedar Point. Nice quiet place away from the hustle of the parks, close enough to allow for an afternoon get away as well. Would stay again.

Thank you for your positive review. We hope to see you again.
It was very clean and the A/C was awesome. No too far from downtown and when we had an issue with the garage door the host came right over and got it fixed. We would definitely recommend this house.

Thank you for the 5 star review and positive feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the house. Our Guest Services Representative, Alaina, is outstanding.
The house was very clean and had many windows to let the light into the house. Very nice sized bedrooms and love the double sinks with bright lighting in the spacious bathroom. The decor throughout the house is wonderful with many positive messages. All appliances are clean and updated, including a great microwave above the stove. Appreciate the coffee maker with K pods, bottled waters and pitcher of water with water filter in the refrigerator. The fenced in yard is a life saver for our fur babies and nicely decorated. Also great that there is a detached single car garage. This was the first time we’ve ever rented a house and we were very pleasantly surprised

We're so glad this was your first home rental experience and that it left such a great impression! It means a lot to hear that the light-filled rooms, spacious bathroom, and thoughtful decor stood out, along with the little touches like the coffee maker, filtered water, and stocked essentials. Knowing the fenced yard made things easier for your fur babies is wonderful to hear too. Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed, kind review, it truly made our day.
Incredible care and communication from the host, super clean, generously supplied (paper products, toiletries, etc.). Decorated so creatively, I saw something that made me smile in every room! Lots of games, puzzles, and books. I could hear Cedar Point Railroad's whistle when I was standing on the porch! Very close to the park and downtown. Thank you for sharing your super clean, comfortable, creative home with us!

A smallish, mid-1900's house, but pleasantly updated inside, two adults and two dogs fit nicely in this house, the fenced-in side yard was perfect for the dogs, we were there on some VERY hot days and the whole house AC was quiet and wonderfully cool, a real homerun, other houses in the neighborhood struggled with 'not so swell' window air conditioners, many of the other oldish houses in the neighborhood were also nicely-kept, but a few are on the down-trodden side ..

Comfy, cozy exceeded expectations
Wow this was my first time booking a house instead of a hotel and I may never go to a hotel again. 3 bedrooms (a large, medium and small) a big bathroom with a his and hers sink set. The house was spotless and she was so very sweet. She was able to check me in earlier with little notice though I dont recommend doing that. She had office supplies, any kitchen gadget or tool. The accommodations and amenities were top tier. Forget your shampoo? They have it. What an adorable yard and they even had a bunch of games in the living room for family game night. Trust me we put them to use. We didnt bring a pet but she had a basket for your fur baby needs. I could go on for hours of why the stay was that much more perfect than I could have imagined. The only thing I disliked was that ridiculous lock that just insisted on locking when no one even touched it haha. But regardless that cute little house made our stay 1000 times better. So comfy and cozy and a home away from home. If you are thinking about booking a trip to Sandusky dont second guess staying here. I will never go back to a fancy hotel again. This is the new normal. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and filling the house with everything we could ever need!! 10 out of 10. 5 stars. Would absolutely book again.

Thank you so much for your thorough review and all the great feedback. We're glad you enjoyed our home and hope you stay again. We agree; the combo lock can be a little touchy.
The home was so nice and clean. Came in for my 40th class reunion and to our surprise, Bike Week was going on. We were right there in the action. Can’t emphasize the cleanliness of this property. We also had some tv issues and they handled everything properly and brought in a brand new TV. Great stay! Highly recommend!!!
