Nice quiet area and very close to down town. All kinds of options for food in walking distance and nice park nearby. Cozy space for a family of 3 or 4. Clean and has little extras that make it feel like home.

I had a very enjoyable stay. The location is very quiet with an eclectic mix of architecture and styles. The location is excellent for exploring the Sandusky and Marblehead area. Erin was a responsive host and the property, while still a work in progress, is nicely decorated and comfortable!

Great location!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the boathouse! Host was responsive and everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Just a couple minutes drive to downtown and within walking distance to a couple local bars. Neighborhood was quiet which was nice after having spent a busy day at Cedar Point.

We had a great time. So close to the downtown events we had planned. Very quiet neighborhood. The key west vibe that the street has is great. We will be back next year.

A really great place! Located perfectly so that it is ideally positioned to be near anything you would want to do within minutes! Nice, clean, and tranquil. I would’ve given five stars, but the lower section of the property is still under construction. I can’t wait till it is finished! Would definitely stay here again!

Adorable place, great walkable location, and super friendly owner!

My kids and I can’t say enough great things about this property. There was enough space for all of us, the kitchen area was very clean, and the location and views were perfect. My daughter even enjoyed fishing off the back deck :) if it wasn’t a 7 1/2 hour drive for us, we would definitely go back next summer, especially with the renovation to the bottom level!

The house was ok. It had 2 beds but one was 1/2 way into a closet and it was wrapped in duct tape. It broke in the middle of the night. There was no dresser space as the extra linen was stored there. There was a space in the laundry room to hang up about 10 pieces of clothing. We had 4 people so we had to live out of suitcases all week. The walls where not finished painting. There was a hole in the livingroom flood where they are still remodeling the downstairs which was kinda creepy. The kitchen area was nice and so was the large bathroom. I felt like it would be a nice place if it was finished. Also the back deck boards where wobbly in the middle. The view looked to the back of a boatyard. For 250 a night I thought it was definitely overpriced.

Good evening, I am sorry you feel that way. The description explains that the property is under construction and shows pictures of the general lay out (including the locations of the beds-it is listed as a 1 bedroom 1 bath) as well as the view from the back deck. It is a boathouse located near other boathouses. All these issues and could have been viewed before renting. I have it listed at 208 a night not 250. The bed I do apologize for and the frame has since been entirely replaced. Thank you for the suggestion on the dresser, I did free up dresser and closet space for future guests.

We rented this place for a very lowkey girls' weekend to Cedar Point. The location of the home is awesome - less than 5 minutes drive to downtown Sandusky and less than 10 minutes drive to the entrance of Cedar Point. The neighbors were all so lovely and let us know to contact them if we needed anything. We ran into a small hiccup, that was communicated to Erin and she worked diligently with us to remedy the situation. She even went above and beyond to make sure it was corrected and we were comfortable. THAT was huge to us and left us smiling. If the opportunity arises, we will be back forsure!
