About this apartment rental
Beautiful, very clean, nonsmoking third floor condo located at the Waterfronts Resorts right over the drawbridge from the Jet Express, your fastest access to world famous Put-In-Bay. This condo has been remodeled and shows like new. Our condo includes a queen size bedroom set in the master bedroom, washer and dryer, air conditioning, and a full kitchen including dishwasher and microwave oven. Other sleeping accommodations for guests/kids include a sleeper couch in the living room and two fold-away beds. The harbor room has a gorgeous view of the Lake Erie Islands, our private beach and the Port Clinton Yacht Club Marina. The harbor room entrance is steps away from the sandy beach and pool. Our large heated pool includes built-in bench seats for the adults and a zero-entry feature and water sprayers for the small children. Our hot tub comfortably seats eight people. The pool and hot tub are traditionally open from Memorial Day weekend thru the first/second weekend after Labor Day (weather permitting). Charcoal grills can be found on the common areas which allows for setting up chairs and tables for outdoor dining or pure relaxation. The grounds of the resort are very kid friendly and includes plenty of green space and a playground as well. The sandy beach area is protected by a cove so that the shallow water and sandbars make ideal swimming conditions in the lake for small children.
Access to water sports abound, with fishing charters and dock rental for your boat across the street and within walking distance. Use the beautiful private beach with lounge chairs provided to relax and enjoy the sun. The downtown Port Clinton area is within walking distance and includes restaurants, shopping and night life. You can park your car for the week and start having fun!
Many other attractions are minutes away, including Marblehead Lighthouse, Gideon Owen (formerly Mon Ami) and Firelands wineries, historic Johnson's Island, African Safari Wildlife Park, Monsoon Lagoon Waterpark, Lakeside resort community, East Harbor State Park where you can take long hikes along the beautiful historic beach and relive history reading the plaques that recount the history of the Lake Erie shoreline.
The Jet Express ferry boat is a short two minute walk across the drawbridge from our resort. They are advertised as the fastest way to get to South Bass Island and Put-N-Bay. Once on the islands, you can rent a bike or golf cart and tour South Bass Island with its wineries, caves, restaurants, bars and many shops. The Division of Wildlife operates a fish hatchery on the island which is very educational and ideal for kids. Also on the island is the historic Perry's Monument which stands 352 feet tall. It was established to honor those who fought during the War of 1812. Experience the breathtaking view from the observation deck. On a clear day Canada, Cleveland and the surrounding islands are visible. Two other ferry boats are located nearby on Catawba and Marblehead that allow you to take your vehicle over to the islands.
The birdwatchers in your family will love to visit Magee Marsh Wildlife Area. This 2,202-acre controlled hunting area is located 17 miles west of Port Clinton. Spring and fall migrations are spectacular at Magee Marsh, with more than 300 species of birds being recorded in the area. Bald eagles, peregrine falcons, osprey, and a large variety of hawks can be seen at Magee Marsh during the spring. A forested beach ridge located on Magee provides a critical feeding and resting habitat for more than 150 species of migrating songbirds, including 36 species of warblers, as they rest and refuel before continuing on their journey. An accessible boardwalk that meanders through this beach ridge provides some of the best bird watching opportunities in the Midwest.
If you have kids and are looking for a little more excitement, world famous Cedar Point amusement park, with 17 roller coasters, live entertainment, kids' area and a water park, is located about 20-25 minutes away. Other indoor waterparks in the Sandusky area include Kalahari and Great Wolf Lodge.
We recommend our guests stop at the Ottawa County/Lake Erie Shores & Islands Visitor's Bureau on SR 53N, just after you exit SR 2 onto SR 53 (across from the Harbor Light Landing shops) and pick up a travel guide to the area. We also provide these guides, as well as other brochures in the cottages, so you can get the most from your trip to the Lake.
Note, our condo complex does not have elevators, it is stairway accessible. A strict non-smoking and no pets policy is enforced.

My wife and I stayed here during our wedding anniversary trip. This was our first time in Ohio and we came to go to Cedar Point. The location was great, the place was clean and cozy. The owner was friendly and communicative. We had an easy check in and check out process. Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in town!

Rich was great with communication from the time we booked until the end of our stay. The condo had everything we needed for our family of 5 and more. The condo is in a perfect location, with the beach and pool just footsteps away. We loved the short walk into down town PC where there are plenty of restaurants, shops and live music. We would love to stay here again!

I can’t say enough positive things about this unit. The view is magnificent and the location is so convenient. The decor of the unit is beautiful and it seems as if everything is completely new. We had the most wonderful time and can’t wait to return!

We stayed for a few nights for an anniversary get away. The house was just as advertised and had everything we needed. The view is beautiful. We watched the sunrise while drinking coffee in the morning, exactly what we wanted. We went to Sandusky for the day, the Merry Go Round museum is a must see. The restaurants in Port Clinton and Sandusky were both great (The thirsty Pony and the Brick House).
Headed to the Cleveland Zoo and arrived early enough to watch them feed the elephants, such a great experience. If you like fresh Jams and produce visit Bergman Farms.

Rich has done a terrific job with providing everything you need in a condo. It’s super clean, close to everything and the views from the room are awesome. I can’t think of anything that is needed to make the condo any better. Stayed for 3 nights, was able to do laundry each day so we don’t have a bunch when we got home. Parking right in front. Couldn’t ask for more.

I thoroughly enjoyed a mini ‘me time’ retreat while staying at this great property. It’s tastefully furnished and very clean. It’s just steps away from the shore and a short walk to local restaurants. The view of the lake from inside the unit is incredible; forget a tv or mobile device…just watch the waves, sunsets, the ferries going to and from the islands, the egrets and even bald eagles! The host went above and beyond in respect to communication. I hope to visit again soon.

This was our first time using VRBO and it was a great experience. The condo was exactly as described. Great location, nice condo complex (lake front access was beautiful and the playground was perfect for our kids), and the condo was clean and well maintained (exactly how the pictures look). A great stay for our family of 4. Thank you Rich for your outstanding communication and for allowing us to rent. Hope to be back to Port Clinton soon!

My husband an I stayed in this condo for a few days in late July 2022. We were looking for a quiet get-a-way to relax and get away from the stress of life. We found this condo to be exactly what we were looking for. Very clean, with great views of both lake Erie and the pool. Everything we could want was provided including some chairs if you wanted to sit on the lawn. Water was warm and very shallow (sand bars) for about 75 feet from the shore. Typical Lake Erie beach of sand and crumbled up sea shells. If you are looking for soft sandy beaches, this isn't the place. Pool was crystal clear and cleaned every morning. Lots of chairs provided around the pool and by the beach. The condo is on the 3rd floor which may be problematic for some but we enjoyed the fact there was no noise above us. The four-season room on the back of the condo was wonderful to sit in and watch the waves, Jet Express coming and going, and the bright orange sunset. The host was extremely responsive and communicated well. The bed in the one bedroom was very comfortable and there were two roll-a-way beds in closets if needed, although we didn't. All appliances worked and it was nice that the host had left restaurant and attraction brochures to look at as we were unfamiliar with the area. Parking was available right outside the condo. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day.

Everything went very smooth. The condo was in great condition and well stocked for complete comfort. The view of the lake was great. It was also right by the pool.
The location was also very convenient with walking distance to the Jet Express and some local restaurants. It was also an easy drive to Catawba Island and Marblehead.
Rich, the owner, is awesome! He made sure we had no questions and was very thorough on how everything worked. He was very accessible.
Thank you for our great stay! We definitely recommend it!

This is the second time we've stayed at this condo location. The view in the pictures is for real! Just walk down a couple steps to swim in lake or pool, or jump in the hot tub. Easy walking distance to Port Clinton and restaurants.

Relaxing Getaway
I booked this unit for a 4 night get away for our 33 anniversary. Wonderful communication with the owner. Very helpful and responsive. Very nice updated & clean unit. Just as, and better than photos. Everything we needed to enjoy being away in a "second home" for a few days. The AC worked wonderful for the hot days/ evenings. Great family atmosphere. The view of the private beach, pool, boat channel and Lake Erie was wonderful from the unit. Bonus - See South Bass Island. Bring your binoculars! GREAT location! Jet skis available to rent nearby. Our speed was just watching the boats come and go and walked to Port Clinton Park/ channel waterway. Took the BEST photo EVER there. I am having it made into a wall hanging. We also took enjoyed a short drive to Marblehead. Spent the last full day at Put In Bay. It was only a (maybe) three minute walk to the Jet Express. Look forward to staying again ! Thank you so much!
