Please.... DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU READ THE FOLLOWING: ***Dogs are $35 per night, per dog; dog fees will be collected upon booking.*** ***Guests who bring boats will pay a $65 docking fee per night*** 1. THERE IS NO SWIMMING IN THE WATER AROUND THE HOUSE - this area is full of docks where people keep their boats and use electricity so it is not safe to swim. 2. There is no trespassing on, in, around, in front of any other boathouse or boat well on Catalina Drive, ESPECIALLY the private, gated home at the north end of the street. This is NOT a community space. Guests who trespass on any other property on this street will be removed from the boathouse with NO REFUNDS. 3. There is no boat launch in our community. There's a public ramp to launch boats. Guests cannot leave their trailer at the boathouse, as there is no room. We recommend the City of Sandusky Boat Ramp located at 1099 W Water St #1001, Sandusky, OH 44870. Owner is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of guests using any launch ramp nor any trailer storage losses. 4.

NO SMOKING IN THE BOATHOUSE, IN FRONT OF THE BOATHOUSE, OR IN THE BOAT WELL! SMOKING WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THE PROPERTY. 6.

We wanted to visit the area and go to some of the islands and spend multiple days at the amusement park. The location and accommodations could not have been better for our family.
We loved this place! It was perfect for us to go back and forth from the park as often as needed. The host was very attentive to our needs, including dining recommendations! Very nice!
We had a fantastic stay at the Wayward Sailor. The house is a great location to Cedar Point (about 4 mins) and very comfortable and quiet. Would definitely stay again.
Just stayed overnight for Cedar Point the next day with my Adult Children and their friends. Clean, Cozy and Close to the Park. No Issues and a responsive and thorough Host.
The boathouse was so cute. Very clean also! We had a great time. And jennifer was a great host! Even called us to let us know about events in the area. I would highly recommend this stay!
My hubby, our two kids(ages 21 and 18), our two pups and myself traveled from Minnesota to visit Cedar Point.. This was the first time bringing our dogs to a Vrbo and it was such a nice treat. The house was perfect for our needs. Location, size, tv, and we loved the boat well although we did not spend any time there. Would definitely recommend and also would stay again if we do another Cedar Point trip in the future.
We had a great experience from booking to checking out. Jennifer was an excellent host and The Wayward Sailor’s Boathouse was exactly what we were looking for for our short stay. The house was immaculate and we were very appreciative that it was dog friendly. Would definitely stay again.
We stayed the weekend while visiting Cedar Point. Very cute place and It was very close to everything we checked out. I would recommend it to anyone. We had a great stay!
Perfect spot to relax after a long day at Cedar Point. The house was spotless, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and we loved being right there by the water. The host was the best we've ever had--she even shipped a few items back to me after my forgetful son left them behind! Can't wait to stay again on our next trip to Cedar Point!
Excellent location to get easily to city center of Sandusky, one foot step from Cedar Point. Neighbours are friendly. Excellent location to go easily to the Ironman village.
Our family recently stayed at this incredible property, and it was an absolute hit! We fell in love with the beautiful location, cozy charm, and modern amenities. The spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen were perfect for our needs. The patio and stunning views were a highlight, and the owner's hospitality was exceptional. We had an amazing time and can't wait to return for another memorable stay. Highly recommended for a fantastic family retreat!
The property was very clean, has plenty of items to use in the kitchen, and has a great back patio. This is a great rental for any CP fans who need room but do not want to pay Breakers prices.
House was everything we needed for our stay! Owner was very easy to get ahold of. Home was clean and the boat well was very cool! Easy to find and easy to dock up to and use. Will definitely be back next trip to cedar point.
Excellent trip, boat house was even better in person!
Absolute great experience pulling your boat in its own garage. Access to Kelly’s island and Put-In-Bay in less than an hour. Nothing like sitting in the boat house relaxing before we went out on the water. Jennifer was very helpful with getting us accommodated. Great time highly recommended!!
Had a great time at the property after attending all the activities during Ohio Bike Week. Jenny was very kind. Fished in the boat house for fun.
Will be back next year.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
My husband and I are foodies, so we primarily travel to eat! One of our favorite destinations is Hilton Head. My husband is a military veteran, and I stay busy running our vacation rentals. We love getting to know new people, which is why transient rentals appeal to us. Our listings appeal to guests because of their proximity to one of the world's largest amusement parks, Cedar Point.
