House is nicely updated for the age. Well appointed and very clean. Ample parking to accommodate our fishing boat. Very quick communication when we ran out of propane for the grill and the host contacted us immediately to let us know where the extra tank was onsite-crisis averted!! Would definitely stay here again…book with confidence! Thanks for a great stay!

Great little getaway

The house was a great stay. Very comfortable, clean, and close to downtown. The Jet Express was an easy walk so didn’t have to pay for parking. Carrie was a great host and was very quick to respond to any questions and also just to check in to see if we needed anything. Definitely would recommend if needing a quick getaway and close to a lot of restaurants and beach.

We had a great stay here. There was everything we could possibly need in the kitchen as well as the bathroom. Such a cute house. My grandson loved the porch tv where he could hang out and watch what he wanted. I would definitely recommend and hope to return again.

Hi came with friends and family to fish for a week and we loved this house. It is well furnished. The beds were comfortable and really we had everything that we needed for a great week. We loved relaxing in the evening at the fire pit. We hope to come back again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Keith and Missy

Host profile image
Hello! We’re Missy and Keith from Pittsburgh, PA. We have five children, two grandchildren, and a third on the way. About eight years ago, we discovered Port Clinton while visiting for a fall college hockey tournament in Toledo, and we instantly fell in love with the area.

What drew us in was the small-town charm, the slower pace of life, the friendly people, and of course, the beautiful proximity to the water. There’s truly nothing like the sound of waves and seagulls to help you relax and unwind. With a son living north of Detroit, this home has also become a perfect central gathering place for our family.

Over the years, we’ve put a lot of care and love into updating and improving this home to make it as comfortable and welcoming as possible. We’ve installed central air, renovated the bathroom and kitchen, added a dishwasher, and recently installed new flooring. We also added an adjustable base to the main bedroom for extra comfort. The beds are fully protected with zippered mattress covers, and we take pride in keeping everything clean and fresh with regularly updated linens.

This isn’t just a house to us—it’s a place where we create memories with family and friends, and we truly love being here. We hope you’ll enjoy it just as much as we do. By the way O - H
