Best of Times Retreat– A Lakefront Escape in Port Clinton

Welcome to Best of Times, your bright and breezy condo retreat in the heart of Port Clinton, Ohio – affectionately known as the “Walleye Capital of the World.” Whether you're planning a friends’ getaway, a couple’s retreat, or a small family escape, this top-floor condo offers comfort, charm, and all the amenities for a memorable stay by the water.

The Space:
Soaring ceilings, natural light, and harbor views greet you in this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo that comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests. The open living space flows into a sunny enclosed porch – the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening wine while watching boats drift by on the Portage River.

Rest and Recharge: Two cozy bedrooms (plus a twin sleeper sofa, futon, and twin roll-away bed) are outfitted with fresh furnishings to help you relax after a day on the lake or exploring town.

Top-Floor Perks: Located on the third floor, you’ll enjoy peace, quiet, and great views – with no one stomping overhead. (Note: stairs required – no elevator.)

Stay Cool: Central air and ceiling fans throughout keep things comfortable even in peak summer.

Stylish Comfort: Vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and luxury vinyl flooring create a modern lakehouse vibe.

Community Amenities
Lounge & Soak: Take advantage of the condo’s resort-style pool and hot tub – a favorite for unwinding after sightseeing or fishing.

Grill & Chill: Shared outdoor grilling area (both gas & charcoal) with picnic tables is available for guest use.

Bring Your Boat: A 35’ dock with electric & water hookup is available for additional fee (contact owner). A public launch is just 1.5 miles away. (Note: trailers must be stored off-site at a local marina.)
