girls trip

The property is really nice.The location is great. We had one of our group fall coming down the stairs from the upstairs bedrooms.This also happened to one of our group last year at the same spot on the stairway. The steps are very awkward where they turn at the bottom.Just wanted to let you know.Maybe the steps could just come straight down instead of turning at the bottom.Also the back yard area was not very well kept like it was last year.The grill was blown over by the wind.

Spacious Home

My family enjoyed the view of Lake Erie and the shallow waters along with a sandy beach for the little ones to enjoy. The house has four very large bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. It was close to many attractions and to all the stores that you need.

We stayed at the property for a wedding occurring in Port Clinton. The home is very spacious. Perfect location. Gorgeous view! Loved the private beach. Only suggestion is to bring extra pillows as there are only 2 pillows on each bed.

Not as expected

We didn’t want to write a bad review, but the owner has not replied to my messages. Upon checking in we saw the beds were not made (no big deal) but the mattresses were dirty and there were no mattress covers. The mattress on the twin bed might have been ok for a small child, but was terrible for an adult to sleep on. Most of the bedrooms did not have a dresser, so clothes were laid out in piles along the wall or people lived out of their suitcases for a week. There was a grill (as listed) but no propane (as expected). The kayak/canoe was unusable. The piece at the bottom of the refrigerator was broken, so we put it in the closet to avoid an accident. It’s 2024 - we were surprised there was no recycling container! Maybe that’s typical in Port Clinton. And a 26” TV in the living room? But the most disturbing thing was when 3 people came through the yard and sat on the private beach. We thought they were trespassers (if not worse) but they told us they owned the property between the 2 houses. This was weird and the least the owner could have done is told us in advance that they might be coming. We had a fabulous week, the location was great, we saw beautiful sunsets, but doubtful that we would ever return or recommend this house to others.
