Best Western Port Clinton

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable. Good breakfast."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Port Clinton-Catawba Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"nice place"

SPRING GETAWAY! Comfortable 2BR cozy cottage just a few steps from Sandusky Bay!

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for a wrestling tournament and we’re just a 15 min drive from the complex. Price was great, house was clean, and plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for anyone looking for a good place for a fair price."

3 bedroom 2 bathroom house close to all tourist attractions- 6 person hot tub

8/10 Good

"The house was amazing and the owners were great and prompt with responding. Definitely seemed like great people! Only issue I had was that the hot tub stopped working on the 2nd day. A big reason why I rented that house was to utilize the hot tub. The owners did come quickly to fix it, it just took so long to heat back up we were unable to use it until our final day. Also, there was dog poop right in front of the door you use to enter the house when we arrived. It was dark when we got there so one of my kids stepped in it and tracked it inside, so I immediately had to clean up dog poop upon arrival. I'm not sure if that was left from previous tenants or the neighbors dog. Literally the only two issues. The house was amazing and we truly enjoyed our stay there! Very beautiful home!"
