Our host thought of everything that could be fun on the beach & pool. From a bacci ball set to ever kind of pool floats & rubber raft including a wagon for easy transport. Bedroom mattress was comfy. The bedroom windows had no blinds just sheers. So rise n shine with the sunset.

The cutest condo. It was updated and decorated nice. Everything you might need was in there. We loved taking the folding chairs out and sitting by the lake while the kids fished from rocks. Very nice pool and beach area. It was a perfect getaway.

Perfect view

Great place to stay. You can not get any closer to the water than this. Bed was super comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is that the condo needs more or brighter lighting, it was rather dim in the condo even with all lights turned on.

Beautiful place!

Overall this was a perfect getaway and such a beautiful serene condo. The only drawback was the construction work they’re doing right outside the back door which caused a dirty, muddy mess. We couldn’t even sit outside to enjoy the lake view.

Property was awesome. Only issue was we were on the ground floor and the people above had a child that thought their condo was a playground and kept us up most of the night.

Perfect Port Clinton Location

This condo was exactly as described. Lake Erie is literally just out the back window. My husband and I loved that we could walk to the Jet Express and to the downtown. We also walked next door to Dock's Beach House for dinner and drinks. My husband and I agreed that this is a primo location that also has a pool and a beach! We will return!

6 Stars

5 stars are not enough for this property. The host had everything we needed, and things we didn’t know we needed until we were there. The parking was great, easy in and out to go explore town. I was absolutely amazed at how close to the lake it is. The host even made sure there were chairs to sit in outside. The private pool with hot tub was definitely 6 star worthy. Having been to Edgewater Park, the private beach was great. It was very affordable for a nice three day escape. The town of Port Clinton and Put in Bay were wonderful. We enjoyed plenty of fresh lake Perch, and other local fares.

Port Clinton Trip

The condo is right on the lake with a beautiful view. It was comfortable. Just a few things that people should be aware of. It is on the first floor but you go up a set of stairs and down a set of stairs to get to it. Also the grass is torn out of the back as they do some repairs. It is a mess in the rain.
