This home had everything we needed during our stay. Host was warm and welcoming when communicating. We loved the living area and the dart board was a fun extra entertainment touch. House was clean which is my #1 concern when staying anywhere other than home.
Very nice property with great amenities. Very relaxing, close to many small towns and sites. A great place for a get a way and the host was very accommodating and responsive.
Beach in walking distance, very nice park in walking distance, and many resteraunts in a few minute drive (5 to 10). Places to do shopping, close to jet express, not a bad drive from cedar point, and if you love fishing the marina is close to grab a charter.
The house was so nice and clean, The neighborhood was also nice, and the house was close to a beachfront. There was also books about attractions and a sign that listed good eating places. It was a great time.
This house was perfect for our little family. The house was clean and had a little bit of everything. The host was quick to repond and even checked in to see if we needed more supplies. We would definitely stay here again.
Stayed with our toddlers for a staycation. Very accurate description. Excellent location. Fully stocked - everything you should need. Easy check-in and check-out. Highly recommend.
Stayed with 3 guys for a short fishing trip. House was perfect. Beds were comfortable. There was a bar within walking distance, Beer 30. Good local drinking location. Nothing fancy but nice people. House had a nice bourbon barrel table to sit around and drink and a dart board next to it that we threw a couple games of darts. House was perfect for our needs.
We are a group of friends that camp together, and have ended our camping season with an adult weekend, so as to drink and not have to watch our mouths so much around the kids. Last year we decided to stay in a condo, and this year we did a house. This house was well equipped and very comfortable!!! We enjoyed the location, not on the water, but very close! The host was fantastic too work with, and I I would highly recommend their place in Port Clinton to my friends and family!
The house was immaculate. Very clean, very accommodating, things were provided that were unexpected such as beach towels, a razor, soaps… I would highly recommend renting this house. The 3 bedrooms worked out perfectly with taking 4 kids to cedar point. The host was great with communication and answered any questions I had. Again, I would give 10 stars if I could
We really enjoyed our stay. It’s very close to the public beach and parks. Port Clinton has several great shops and restaurants- only minutes away. My husband and son enjoyed playing darts in the living room. The garage/man cave was a great bonus space. I personally loved that the cottage still had some original character details. It was also a very nice, quiet neighborhood. It was exactly what we were looking for! We highly recommend it for all ages and families of all sizes!
Our stay at The Great Lake Escape in Port Clinton was wonderful! The home was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a cozy winter retreat. The space was thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials, from a fully equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and a relaxing living area—perfect for unwinding after a chilly day.While we didn’t spend much time by the lake due to the season, the location was still great for exploring local restaurants and attractions. It was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy a peaceful getaway.The host’s communication was excellent, making check-in and the entire stay seamless. We had no issues at all, which made the experience even better.I highly recommend The Great Lake Escape for anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and well-managed place to stay, no matter the season. We’d definitely book again!
We had a great stay at this property in Port Clinton. The location was only a block and a half from the water. The house was very clean and well kept. We had plenty of room to sleep eight people. The garage was an awesome addition to the home which allowed the adults to have some time to themselves. The owner, Steve was very nice and communicated very well with me throughout the entire check-in process. We were able to spend Saturday at Put-in-Bay and take the jet Express to the island and back. The only thing that was a small issue and inconvenience was that the property only had one bathroom for eight people. However, that would definitely not ever stop us from renting this home again. Like I said it was a mild inconvenience. We had a great little weekend and I would highly recommend this little getaway..
The place was great and really appreciate all the little amenities like laundry soap and toothbrushes. Owner was very nice and answered questions with great suggestions! Would love to stay again!
