Spacious 5BR Near Lake Erie & Put-in-Bay Ferry

Summary:

Spread out in a renovated 5-bedroom home in Port Clinton — room for 10, a short walk from Lake Erie, downtown, and the parks. It's a natural home base for the islands: hop the Put-in-Bay and Kelleys Island ferries, day-trip to Cedar Point, then come back to a big modern kitchen, a private backyard, and three full baths so no one's waiting. Bring the whole family (and up to 4 dogs) — it's built for groups, and easy lake-country weekends.



The Space:

🛋 Living Area Open, modern living room with comfortable seating, a smart TV (sign in with your own streaming accounts), and a game console. Board games and a big dining table make it easy for a group to spread out — meals, movies, and game night all in one place.



🍳 Kitchen & Dining Fully equipped kitchen with full-size stainless Whirlpool appliances (stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher), a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, plus cookware, wine glasses, a blender, and a toaster. A large dining table seats the whole group; a smaller kitchen table is perfect for coffee or a puzzle.

Interaction with Guests:

Before check-in. Like most professionally managed homes, we ask every guest to complete a quick pre-arrival step through our booking system: a STRA, ID verification, and a damage protection selection. It takes a few minutes and helps us keep the home safe and well cared for.



Damage protection (required, processed before arrival). Choose either a $750 refundable security deposit — a pre-authorized hold, not a charge, released after a damage-free inspection — or a non-refundable $50 damage waiver covering accidental damage beyond normal wear and tear.



Check-in & check-out. Check-in after 4 PM, check-out by 11 AM. Early check-in or late check-out can sometimes be accommodated for a small fee — just message us before your stay and we'll do our best.



House rules at a glance. No parties or events (immediate removal, no refund). Max 10 guests; the person booking must be 21+ and stay on site. Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM, monitored by a decibel reader (sound levels only) — excessive noise may incur a $500 fine. No smoking indoors ($500 fine); smoking permitted outside. No confetti, glitter, water beads, balloons, or small plastic, glass, or metal pieces.



Pets. Up to 4 dogs, $125 flat fee, disclosed and approved in writing before arrival. No cats. Undisclosed pets: $150 fee and possible cancellation without refund. A 3rd or 4th dog may be approved for an additional $100.



Trash. Place all trash in the outdoor cans — our vendor brings them to the curb, so there's no need to take them out yourself. Follow posted recycling rules if applicable.



Utilities. WiFi and power are normally reliable, but occasional outages happen and are outside our control. These rare interruptions don't qualify for refunds or cancellations.



Right of entry. We may need to enter for emergencies, urgent maintenance, or safety concerns. We'll give notice whenever possible, except in genuine emergencies.



Cancellations are refunded according to the cancellation policy, less non-refundable payment processing fees.
