Great stay close to Lake Erie

Location was great and close to a couple beaches on the lake. One beach was within walking distance. Rooms were as listed and pretty comfortable, and the house was well decorated and cute. We stayed during a heat wave (90) and it was pretty hot throughout the house making it challenging to hang out there comfortably during the hottest part of the day. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. We cooked dinner easily each night with what was provided. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place especially if it’s not during the hottest heat of the summer or if you’re planning to be at the lake all day.

Wonderfully decorated cottage with everything provided. Our family of 4 dog, stayed 5 nights and didn't want to leave. Enjoyed the comfy beds and our 2 teenage boys loved the basement with games, tv, and lounging around. The keyless front door entry was nice. We only went out for dinner 1x, to Jolly Rogers Seafood right by Lake Erie. Yummy. We cooked at the cottage the rest of the time, where everything was provided in the kitchen as well. It took us 5 min. max to drive to the nice park, and beach and during the week, we took a ferry ride to Put-in-Bay on the Jet Express, with the dock being equally close to the cottage. We recommend taking the Train Tour on the island. Our last evening in Port Clinton, we went to Scooters Ice Cream around the corner, where it's outdoor seating only, so we brought the dog. Only issues at the cottage were the trash bins outside were full, (but that was out of Cheryl's control) and it got hot and stuffy inside from the weather when we arrived. I did see on the VRBO description, it stated AC, so I assumed it was central air. It was only mobile AC units, so my husband (by suggestion and permission from Cheryl) was able to set them up. (we needed for health reasons) Once everything was cooled down later that evening, we were able to open up the doors to get a cross breeze going, and having the ceiling fans in each room was helpful and sufficient. All-in-all, we had a relaxing visit, and definitely would recommend visiting Cheryl's Cottage.

Enjoyed the weekend with some friends. Property was in a cute, safe location. Really enjoyed the patio area out back of the house. The host was very quick to respond and very nice. I would recommend to anyone. The quality of stay for the price is accurate and our group of 6 was very pleased.

Port Clinton

Cheryl was great to work with. This house was very clean and well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. My only complaints were there is no front door outside lighting and it was very dark at night and it made it difficult to navigate steps and open door, could be a fall waiting to happen. The other thing is the air conditioning is window units and free standing units. The unit in the living room is a free standing and was so loud, it was deafening ( and quite irritating). Window units as well not quite. I would give this a 5 star if it wasn't for these things.

We were able to walk from our VRBO to the jet express to take us to PutInBay since it was less than a mile away. The house was decorated very nicely and the beds were comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to take a day trip to Put in Bay.

Exceeded expectations

When we made the reservation this host did not have many reviews yet as she was new to Vrbo. We took the chance and are glad we did. We have done Vrbo for 4 years and never had a problem but this was the best. You really felt welcome as soon as you entered the house. Bedrooms and kitchen were big. Living area was more than fine. Quiet neighborhood that is walking distance from the beach. 1 bathroom but we knew that going in and had no issues. Overall an A+ stay so if concerned she doesn't have a big number by her name yet due to being new, do not worry!!!
