Cedar Point

Property was as described, very clean, lots of amenities and supplies that I haven't seen offered at other properties. Neighborhood was quiet, train dies run frequently, but its hardly noticeable off in the distance. Owner was very responsive and checked-in during our stay. Lake & Park very short walk from property.

A comfortable place to have a vacation.

Beach in walking distance, very nice park in walking distance, and many resteraunts in a few minute drive (5 to 10). Places to do shopping, close to jet express, not a bad drive from cedar point, and if you love fishing the marina is close to grab a charter.

Cedar Point trip!

We had a great time! The main focus of our trip was to visit Cedar Point for the first time and ride the new coaster, Siren’s Curse! It did not disappoint..so super fun! We had a blast feeding the animals at the African Safari as well. It was a short but memorable trip for all! Also, Lake Erie and the sunsets are beautiful! Our hosts were responsive and helpful! We hope to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Joseph

Host profile image
We began hosting our Short Term rental Summer 2021, but not new to Real Estate and Sales / Customer Service in general.

I will accommodate guests to the best of my ability, and truly hope you enjoy your stay.

I'm a Marblehead, Ohio Native whose spent the past 20 years in Port Clinton, Ohio where I've watched my family grow, enjoy the area and prosper!

A Career minded individual who is expanding to other areas, and looking to help families create as great a Vacation Memories as we have utilizing these platforms traveling to Southern Ohio, Michigan, PA and the Ormond Beach Daytona Beach areas for our own vacations!

I like to think we have you all covered here!

What makes this property unique

Centrally located between Toledo and Cleveland, but so much to do in the area you'd be hard pressed to enjoy everything the general area has to offer in a week!

The property itself is set up to allow relaxing areas for all. A Jack Daniels bar and dartboard in the house (Living Room are with 65" TV), and the Grill and Chill area is excellent for hanging with friends and grilling dinner / telling stories / watching a movie or game)

We cater to fishermen in the Spring with room for 1 Truck / Trailer / Boat in the driveway, and have added 2 outdoor outlets for charging batteries over night....and usually have a fish cleaning table on site as well.

Great Food
Wonderfully expanding Night Life Opportunities!
World Class Fishing / Boating
Amusement Parks (Cedar Point is one of the best in the WORLD - 25 min drive!)
Lake Erie Island - Put in Bay and Kelley's Island....fun for everyone (families, singles, married, divorced, Teens and tweens and kids alike! Bring the Grandparents, these Islands are excellent opportunities for family time!

This area really is loaded with some great fun
