love the property wish that beds were more comfortable

John is a great host and we loved our visit!

We didn’t want to write a bad review, but the owner has not replied to my messages. Upon checking in we saw the beds were not made (no big deal) but the mattresses were dirty and there were no mattress covers. The mattress on the twin bed might have been ok for a small child, but was terrible for an adult to sleep on. Most of the bedrooms did not have a dresser, so clothes were laid out in piles along the wall or people lived out of their suitcases for a week. There was a grill (as listed) but no propane (as expected). The kayak/canoe was unusable. The piece at the bottom of the refrigerator was broken, so we put it in the closet to avoid an accident. It’s 2024 - we were surprised there was no recycling container! Maybe that’s typical in Port Clinton. And a 26” TV in the living room? But the most disturbing thing was when 3 people came through the yard and sat on the private beach. We thought they were trespassers (if not worse) but they told us they owned the property between the 2 houses. This was weird and the least the owner could have done is told us in advance that they might be coming. We had a fabulous week, the location was great, we saw beautiful sunsets, but doubtful that we would ever return or recommend this house to others.

Wonderful place to spend time with family

Upon check in We all realized that none of the beds were made, perhaps its the owners policy and we missed it. Our first night there some of us were out on the back deck close to the water and some older man and I guess his son puled in the driveway, got out of their car, and walked up and sat next to us. This was at 9:30 at night. We asked who he was and he said he was the owner of the lot between the 2 houses. He sat there for about and hour and left. This was very strange. The house was advertised as having a kayak and canoe, all we could find was an old kayak burried in some over grown brush that was burried. We reached out to the owner and he never replied to our questions about it. The back of the house has no lighting so bring flashlights. My son slept on a couch down stairs and got bitten up by insects, so only sleep in the bedrooms. The AC was working and it has a great view for sunsets, so theres that I guess.

Three generations gathered for a wonderful vacation on the lake. We have been making an annual trip to Port Clinton each summer and were able to get everyone together in one location. It was great having the beach just outside the doorstep for relaxation and fun.

This was our second time here- we love the lake access and the backyard. House is very spacious

Perfect location for a family vacation.
