The place was excellent. But a prior guest left very dirty crockery in the cupboard. This had nothing to do with the hosts. Highly recommended.

Plenty of kitchen gear & the heating was fantastic..we had to turn it off after an hour or so. Very quiet & peaceful. We had the best relaxing 4 days!

We have stayed here many years and it is clean, comfortable and has a beautiful waterfront outlook. I was worried if the algal bloom would affect our stay, but unless you are fishing or visiting the beach itself, you should not have problems. There were quite a few dead fish; but we were glad to support the local economy and had no problems sitting on the deck through the day and enjoying the beautiful view. There is no issue with odour (the bird population is well fed) so do not hesitate to book and stay in Port Clinton.
