I spent 10 days at The Lake Escape in September. It is a beautiful well maintained condo directly on the shores of Lake Erie. The host supplied everything I could possibly need. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of products supplied. The towels are extra plush. There was even a pod coffee maker which was a welcome surprise. I had a few questions for the host which she.quickly answered. My only complaint would have been the internet which was sporadic. All things considered I would highly recommend this condo and would consider returning next year.

Another amazing stay at Maggie's condo. This is our favorite condo at Waterfront condos in Port Clinton! Prime location! Very short walk to the downtown area where live music is played in numerous places on the weekends. Jet Express is just over the bridge. Very clean! Great communication! The owners of the other condos are very welcoming to visitors! Great hot tub and heated pool! Very comfortable bed! Just steps from Lake Erie out the front door. And our favorite. The sounds of Lake Erie waves while sitting in the front room. There's nothing quite like that sound. So calming!

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.

Spectacular views of Lake Erie. It provided great views of all the vibrant activities including a sail boat regatta. It was definitely worth taking the short drive from Cincy.

We had a great stay in this condo. Very clean, first floor easy access to beach, pool and very nearby parking. We would love to see a larger bed in the bedroom, but otherwise it was great! Hope to stay again in the future!

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.

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.

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.

28th Anniversary weekend

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.

I am sorry to hear this. I do believe there is an air mattress in the closet of the bedroom for you to use.

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!

Amazing! Perfect location! We walked to Docks, Jet Express, downtown for the live music. Communication with Maggie was great. She responded to my messages very quickly. Originally was going to stay for 2 night and extended our stay twice. This place is a gem. Will definitely be back!
