The perfect place for our stay

We loved everything about this property! This was the perfect place for us to stay while we were in town for an Ironman Event. Very clean and ready for us to stay. The back deck and sitting area was awesome. The communication from Tim & Beth were fantastic...which started before we even got checked in. Always quick to respond to any questions we had. It really is a beautiful home! If we are ever in need, we'll be looking for this one to stay in again!

Perfect little spot for a Sandusky trip. Wether its Cedar Point, the islands or just Sandusky this place is perfect. Very nautical decorations which fit the spot well. Clean and very homey feel. Owners are great and have many extras for renters. If you have a boat or fish this house is extra amazing. Book it!

Beautiful and well appointed home. Perfect for our family over the Labor Day long weekend. Deck and dock area were our favorite places to hangout. As the guys love to fish, the dock was safe for our 8 year old grandson. There are many places to hit for other fishing locations too. The add-on golf cart was a huge bonus. Perfect and well kept home. We enjoyed the kayaks too. Hosts were great with communication. We would definitely consider staying here in the future!

Great Place for Lake Erie Activities

We loved this place and really enjoyed our stay. The location was even better than we anticipated, love seeing Cedar Point lit up at night from just outside the front of the house. The house was very clean and though we didn't really use any of the amenities because we were so busy running around while we were there we knew if we had to stay at the house because of weather or something we would not be bored. We enjoyed downtown Sandusky as well as Cedar Point, Put-In-Bay and Marblehead! If we come back up this way we will surely stay here again!
