Great location on the water, really enjoyed our time in the yard and in the water. Lots of beds. This house definitely feels like you are staying at someone's personal home vs a rental or hotel, which depending on your preferences could be good or be somewhat uncomfortable. It worked well for our group of 10, ages 20 to 70.

Bay House Summer Vacation
The week of July 20-27, we vacationed at the Bay House, this is our second year we have stayed here.,and truly enjoyed it again. Many attractions, restaurants within a short drive, the weather for the most part cooperated during the stay. In the evening sitting on the patio with a scenic view of Sandusky Bay is great! I recommend this vacation retreat. Thanks to the owners for letting us share their vacation home.

Perfect family vacation spot
We spent our Thanksgiving at this beautiful home. The quiet location on Sandusky Bay was a wonderful backdrop for our Thanksgiving meal. The layout of the house was perfectly cozy and spacious. One of our couples stayed in the train car and they loved the quiet and privacy. All of the beds were comfortable and we used the outside fire ring one night.
The house was clean and had all that we needed during our stay. Our host was exceptional at communicating and making sure we were comfortable. We really enjoyed everything about our stay. We would highly recommend staying here anytime of year.

Wonderful Lake House- Perfect for a Family Vacation
My family recently stayed at Bay Front House. It was the perfect place for a family vacation with the lovely house, caboose and beach. My entire family enjoyed their time there. There are so many activities for people to do in the area such as Kelley's Island, Put- in- Bay, Marblehead and Cedar Point. For us the location was perfect, since some of our family needed to "come and go" due to work and school. Michael the owner was wonderful to work with too. I have rented many vacation homes and this is one of the best!! I'm looking forward to renting it next year.

The Bay House - Perfect in every way.
Please don't hesitate renting the Bay House for your families vacation. It had had all of the amenities necessary (and beyond), the layout was perfect for everyone to have room and not feel crowded.. even with 13 people. (4 adults and 9 kids). The caboose was a special bonus, the property was beautiful, and the location itself situated central for our day visits to Cedar Point and the Islands. Mike was extremely accommodating and responsive. 5 stars from our family... we'll be back again!

Great vacation at Bay House!
The entire family had a great time at the Bay House. We like to vacation with the whole family, my wife and I, our college age daughter, and our other daughter, son-in-law and our 4 grandchildren - 6,4,2 & 10 months. The caboose was a big hit with our grandchildren - they stayed in it every night with Mom and Dad. The layout of the house was perfect for spending time together. We grilled almost every night. We are planning to come back again next year. The owners were a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend the Bay House, but not when we plan on coming - please.

House was light, clean, comfortable and well outfitted. Water views from great room and two bedrooms! Beach had been cleaned and was super quiet. Wonderful to eat on patio with nice table and chairs and umbrellas and wonderful water view. Teenagers enjoyed game system in rec room. Adults enjoyed that it cannot be heard from great room! Great service--one minor mechanical problem dealt with quickly after one phone call to Mike. Convenient (by car) to Port Clinton, Catawba and Marblehead.

GREAT Family Trip
We had a family trip with 12 family members - ages 9 to 80. Kids will never forget the family vacation with the caboose! We all had a great time. Michael was very responsive. We texted one night to ask to see if the house had skewers to roast marshmallows by the fire pit, and he responded immediately and even had one in the garage! He was attentive and easy to work with. My only negative comment is that there is no dishwasher, which I didn't realize when booking the property. We visited Cedar Point, which was an easy 30 minutes from the house - as well as Put-In Bay. Great day trips from this house.

Excellent accommodations for our 8 adults
We are a party of 8 adults - Mom, Dad, 3 adult children with their spouses - so with the caboose the number of bedrooms was perfect. Each young couple took a turn in the caboose.
We really enjoyed being able to hear the water from the house, walking down by the bay, having a fire on the beach, playing games in the game room, and sitting around in the large living room. Each couple prepared some of the food and the kitchen had all the necessary pots, pans, utensils, etc.
We used the house as a hub for the various activities like Cedar Point, Boating out to Kelley Island (Clemons Boats had good rentals), Jet Ski Rental (Sawmill Resort), and the African Safari Wildlife Park.
The kids enjoyed the Wii and PS3 also (they took extra controllers).

Sandusky Bay - Port Clinton Vacation
Excellent vacation rental for the Sandusky / Lake Erie Islands area. We gathered here for our annual girls getaway and had an excellent time. The only thing missing was the "Cabana Boy" to serve us drinks on the beach. Very convenient for jet skiers with a boat launch only 10 minutes down the street (Hanks on the Bay). We were close enough to enjoy a jet ski trip down the river (a must do!) and a few drinks at the Cove. The beach was beautiful and we enjoyed it all day and night (campfires). The house was roomy and the caboose was perfect for the girls that wanted to get away and get some shut-eye. We didn't leave the property except to enjoy a jet ski ride or two (we were able to keep them on the beach at night - saving us time from launchinig everyday). Great place and we plan on going back next year. The owners were very helpful and even left us a nice welcome gift. (something rarely heard of these days!). I highly recommend this place for families and a girls getaway weekend.

Disappointing
The property was really too small for our party of 6 adults and 5 kids.
There was no hot tub/ spa as advertised?
The sandy beach was very narrow and dead large catfish began washing up on it! When I told the owner his advice was to bury them. My granddaughters and buried 9 of them on this and adjoining beaches to try and eliminate the smell. The next day there were about 20 of them! We quit and did not use the beach or that side of the property because of the odor.
The owner suggested using the outdoor shower. Some of our party did to reduce the congestion inside but found it somewhat dirty with no where to hang their clothes.
There is no cable tv and we were not very knowledgeable in the use of streaming services .

First I would like to say we are very disappointed you did not enjoy your time with us. We strive to make your experience perfect. We have never misrepresented our house and caboose. Your right it is not a large home but even our room measurements are online for people to see.
We are located on a natural beach and the size of the beach varies day to day. You failed to talk about the storms that brought the fish in from the upper bay. You also failed to mention that you had full use of 200 ft of beach. I also find it interesting that 231 groups over the years have rated us positively and the group that came one week before loved our place and said it was incredible.. Thank you for staying with us

Family Vaca on the Bay
We’ve been vacationing with our children and grand children for 8 years now, with every vacation being on Lake Erie which is pretty close for all of us. We’d outgrown our previous 2 spots and luckily found this place after another house fell through.
We were extremely happy with our stay. This house was perfect for our family. The living area was a perfect size for the 9 of us to gather at night.
The outdoor space was awesome, plenty of room.
Even though the beach area was a little small, (we’ve come to learn that beaches can change sizes from year to year) we had plenty of room on the lawn and in the water.
The children had a blast with our aqua pad and kiyaking on the bay which was something they didn’t have much of a chance to do on the lake.
The outdoor gazebo was perfect and so homey.
The caboose is such a great added area for sleeping. Our grandchildren absolutely loved it.
Although we didn’t really have to use the great garage area because we had perfect weather, it was an awesome extra area for hanging out.
And the outdoor shower was something we don’t ever want to be without again.
Michael was a great host and always available for any questions that we had.
We would definitely go back. The vote was unanimous!!

Great Vacation
Mike is very attentive to his guest. He is quick to reply and very helpful! His home worked out great for my family. Initially we had an issue with large dead fish on the beach in the morning, but we attributed this to the extreme heat and lack of movement with the water. This was only an issue for a couple of days and Mike answered our texts to help remedy the situation. The rest of the days, everything was great! The water was beautiful and we were in it all day. Mike's home is very nice and this is the second vacation we have stayed at his place. He has everything you could want in the home, and the screened in garage is an added extra for game night, as well as the second refrigerator. Mike - the gazebo was definitely an added plus!! We spent time in their when it was too hot to be in the sun and really enjoyed it. The caboose is always an added plus, which has also been updated since our last visit. Very comfortable beds, and plenty of living room space. The patio out front is great for the mornings, but gives plenty of shade the rest of the day. Thanks Mike - we appreciated everything!

Wonderful Family Vacation!
Our family just returned from one of the best vacations we have ever had! We stayed at the Bay House with 5 of our grandchildren, (ages 1 through 16) and my parents (in their mid-70's). Everyone had a fantastic time which isn't easy to accomplish with such a variety of ages. The Bay House had plenty of room for everyone to stay comfortably and so many nice areas to gather and visit. We were attracted to this location because of the private beach, which is absolutely beautiful, but in the end we didn't spend much time there because of the unusually cold weather. When we heard about this arctic front in mid-July, we were devastated, but with so many other things to enjoy at the house, we never missed a beat! Of course, we visited Cedar Point and for that, the weather was perfect. We also went to Deer Park which was so enjoyable...the kids loved it!! The guys in the group charted a fishing trip with ANJ Charters and had such a great successful day, (92 yellow perch!) they went out a second day! The location of your home was perfect for everything we had planned to do and so convenient to stores and town and yet, we had such privacy that it was comparable to being out in the country. We couldn't believe our week had come to such a quick end; even our 2 year old grandson cried as we pulled out of the driveway, saying "No, no, stay here!" When a child that young is sadden by the end of a vacation, you know it has been a memorable one! Thank you for your hospitality and also for working with us to allow an early drop off of our luggage. We hope to be back in the future and everyone agrees, we would want to come back to the Bay House! We truly appreciate everything you provided to make our family gathering so enjoyable!

Great property with a caboose
Michael’s home is beautiful and the caboose is definitely an added plus! Our family consisted of 2 older adults, (96, 94), 7 other adults, (34-69) and a 3 year old. The caboose is clean and the bunks and the bed in the caboose were very comfortable. The air conditioning worked VERY well, so the caboose was a great place for additional people. In the house the 3 bedrooms were clean, comfortable and had plenty of bedding and blankets. The loft is an extra space for sleeping, although no one in our party slept up there. The house and garage were clean and definitely well equipped, with anything we needed. We loved the extra space in the garage to have room to spread out. The additional refrigerator was a huge plus! The air conditioning in the house also worked VERY well. The green space in front of the house was perfect for the 3 year old to run, play, and blow bubbles without getting away from us. The outdoor shower was definitely a hit, almost everyone in our party preferred it to the indoor showers! We saw lots of bald eagles, both in the morning and the evening and launched our kayaks and rowers from the beach. Michael’s neighbor was very kind and gracious, encouraging us to use his lawn, steps and beach for additional space and access. It made looking for lucky stones even easier! Michael had people come to cut the grass and check the beach, all of whom were very courteous, pleasant and helpful. The location is great - private, but convenient to Port Clinton proper and not far from Sandusky and Cedar Point. The only item we missed was some kind of a binder with information regarding the house and local stores/restaurants. There was a storm one day during our stay and it knocked out the internet. We had to search for the router and although it was not hard to find, we were a little uncomfortable opening closets and cabinets as this is Michael’s home. On the plus side, we found a cabinet containing games, cards, crayons and coloring books! We had a great time as a family and have some wonderful memories that will last forever.

Absolutely wonderful week!
Well the reviews are in from all my family and all the reviews were wonderful. Everyone agreed it was relaxing and fun. Michael Rath, the owner, could not have been nicer. Answered all my texts quickly and was friendly and upbeat. I have so many good things to say about our stay. Place is nice and big and was able to accommodate all of us easily. The railroad car was used by my daughter, her husband and 4 kids. What a treat! The neighbors also had a real live railroad car (caboose) in their yard. House has a large backyard area. The outdoor patio had a big table and umbrella where we spent many a morning drinking coffee and enjoying the beautiful view. There was also a very large outdoor screened in gazebo which could hold a bunch of us and it protected us from the mosquitos at night. It was used for quiet reading during the day and a few nights for family fun talks and one night for music request night - which was a blast. House has 2 fridges - one in the house and one in the garage so there was plenty of storage for food. Also a large pantry in the kitchen for more storage. Garage was great for storing things too. The house is listed as 3 bedroom but it also has a loft area. So with the caboose and loft it was like a 5 bedroom house. Since we were only 30 minutes from Cedar Point Roller Coaster Park the kids (I am including my husband as one of the kids) aged 16-10 (except for my husband) spent a day here and had a blast. They were so excited to go and it did not disappoint. For thrill seekers this is the Roller Coaster Park Par Excellence - one of the best in the world. Some of the older folks played golf at a local course maybe 20 minutes away - called Oak Harbor. Some of us come from a big congested area (Washington DC) and really enjoyed the easy friendliness of the locals at the course! There was a cornhole game in the garage which we placed outside on the huge lawn and had literally hours of fun playing - old and young alike. My grand daughter and I had the longest winning streak with 5 wins in a row!! We have so many great memories of our week here. Everyone was thanking my husband and myself for the great week as they departed for home and we got lots of e-mails from everyone thanking us again. Be aware there is no recycling which is painful if you are used to recycling and each morning the beach had to be cleared of dead fish - wheelbarrow provided. This was the only negative but all chipped in to help each morning.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Michael Rath
We are a middle-aged married couple with four children (two girls/two boys). Our children are married and we have eight grandchildren.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
We bought this house house to stay engaged with our children and so we can vacation together. We all live in the greater Cleveland area but as they got older it was harder to get together. This house works out perfectly. We let everyone know when we will be there and everyone comes up when they can.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
We think you will love every minute. From sunrise over Sandusky Bay until you see the moon reflecting off the water. The views are breathtaking. We think you will also love the beach, as we have one of the few private beaches in the whole area. Ours is just steps away from the patio! Many of our guests really love just sitting quietly and enjoying the beach and the views. The real caboose gives our house something unique and adds great personality while serving as a comfortable spot for up to four people. This is a natural setting for bird watching. Eagles, Ducks Egrets are seen every day.
