We had a fantastic stay at the Wayward Sailor. The house is a great location to Cedar Point (about 4 mins) and very comfortable and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect spot to relax after a long day at Cedar Point. The house was spotless, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and we loved being right there by the water. The host was the best we've ever had--she even shipped a few items back to me after my forgetful son left them behind! Can't wait to stay again on our next trip to Cedar Point!

Had so much fun. The boat dock in house was fantastic. We enjoyed fireworks on the lake. The lake was the best part.

We had a great experience from booking to checking out. Jennifer was an excellent host and The Wayward Sailor’s Boathouse was exactly what we were looking for for our short stay. The house was immaculate and we were very appreciative that it was dog friendly. Would definitely stay again.

We loved everything about our stay! Accommodations were neat and clean and had everything we needed to make our own meals, shower, sleep and hang out as a family (I’m looking at you board games!) There’s an Aldi and Walmart nearby, which we stopped at to get food and fishing supplies- because fishing in the boatwell was one of our favorite things to do! That is, when we weren’t at Cedar Point which was a quick 5 minutes down the road! This was super helpful for us to get back and forth to our pup, who was able to come with us because Wayward Sailor is dog friendly lodging. Thanks, Jennifer! We will definitely be back!

Had a great time at the property after attending all the activities during Ohio Bike Week. Jenny was very kind. Fished in the boat house for fun.
Will be back next year.

The property was very clean, has plenty of items to use in the kitchen, and has a great back patio. This is a great rental for any CP fans who need room but do not want to pay Breakers prices.

Our family recently stayed at this incredible property, and it was an absolute hit! We fell in love with the beautiful location, cozy charm, and modern amenities. The spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen were perfect for our needs. The patio and stunning views were a highlight, and the owner's hospitality was exceptional. We had an amazing time and can't wait to return for another memorable stay. Highly recommended for a fantastic family retreat!

Honestly, one of the best get-aways we’ve had in a long time.
We had our two dogs with us and stayed for a week for fishing.
SUPER close to Cedar Point, restaurants and some awesome little ports (which come in handy for going to other locals -Put in Bay, etc.).
Host was incredible. Very responsive and helpful wherever we needed anything (and super cool).
House is clean and large enough for large parties. The boat garage was so so handy. Not having to load it in and out of the water is a game-changer.
We’ll be back as soon as our calendars open up this summer.

This is a great property to stay at if you are visiting Sandusky and especially if you are visiting Cedar Point. The location could not be better, you can get to all the local attractions with ease. Cedar Point is just around the corner and wether you are going there by car or boat it only takes a matter of minutes. The property is well kept and one of the cleanest properties I have stayed at, you can tell they take pride in what they do. I have a daughter that is a neat freak and she loves to pick things apart, she even commented on how clean the property was. Communication with the property manager was fantastic, we communicated prior to the stay so they could make sure we had everything we needed. Prior to check in we communicated on the check in procedure and the parking situation. I had several guests in and out and each of my 3 daughters had friends stay with us on alternating days, management made sure we understood how to make things work so that everyone was happy. For me the number one immunity was the boat well, I loved having my boat in the same house as me and protected. The boat well was easy to access and had everything we needed to make the stay a success. The channel in and out of the property is very large and easy to maneuver. When you leave the channel and into the bay Cedar Point is right there. We took the boat to the Cedar Point marina several times and never had an issue docking and accessing the park. Overall we loved our stay at The Wayward Sailor Boathouse and would recommend this to anyone staying in the Sandusky Bay area.

Excellent trip, boat house was even better in person!
Absolute great experience pulling your boat in its own garage. Access to Kelly’s island and Put-In-Bay in less than an hour. Nothing like sitting in the boat house relaxing before we went out on the water. Jennifer was very helpful with getting us accommodated. Great time highly recommended!!
