Second time staying here

We again came to stay here for the birding festival in Ohio. So quiet, cozy, and relaxing with sounds and breezes of Lake Erie out the window. All the amenities you could need and plenty that are a nice bonus. Walking distance to several good restaurants, and a super comfy bed at the end of our adventure filled days.

Great host

Marie was a dream of a host and responded quickly when I reached out to her, resolving an issue with the water heater. Marie has her property loaded with anything you would need for a day at the lake/beach when in season. The only drawback about my stay was there was construction work of some sort going on with pickup trucks and a cement truck just outside the window, taking away from the view. It was, however, nice to walk out the back door and be only steps from the private beach. I overall enjoyed my stay. I would go back to this property if I travel to Port Clinton again.

Very nice accommodations

Our host was helpful and communicative. The condo is a nice space, very clean, plenty of space, with a beautiful view of lake and close to many Port Clinton attractions. Our stay was off season, so many things were closed, but we can imagine that in season the condo would be ldeal to stay while visiting the islands at Lake Erie.

Easy access to beach, pool is practically in your backyard

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is FULLY equipped with everything you need. King size bed was nice and we loved the open area. Plenty of seating for everyone. The pool is literally right outside the back door, along with the beach area. I can't say enough about the owner Marie. She quickly answers all your answers and explained how to access the front door (key is in an access box on the railing) Just a great time all around!

Perfect!

We were coming to town for the 2024 Solar Eclipse, and this was the perfect place to stay! All we had to do was step right outside the back door, set up a chair for each of us, and sit and enjoy! I imagine the pool and lake (all within a few short steps) are a pleasure in the summertime. Marie & Nick's condo was very clean. We really enjoyed the living room furniture (we wish we could have taken it home with us, LOL). The only thing we didn't really like was the bed; it was way too firm for us, so we didn't sleep very well either night we stayed. We did appreciate the three ceiling fans throughout the condo, and were thankful that there were tower fans available for us to use. There's also many other items in the closets available for guests to use from sports equipment and camping chairs to blankets and pillows. If you forgot something at home, chances are you'll be able to find it in the condo. The pictures really didn't do this place justice; it was better than pictured! We would gladly return if we need a place to stay along the Lake Erie shoreline.

This was a great location for what we had planned and with Lake Erie access! It was an older condo complex and could use some updates, although we had plenty of space. We enjoyed the beach and had all the amenities we needed for our two night stay.
