Main House 3B / 1.5 Bath

Hide

With a mix of Farmhouse Inspiration throughout, we've added some subtle Nautical flare to the home and created Port Clinton's lone Great Lake Escape Pool Home / Villa (the Guest House is a GREAT addition vs. a standard vacation rental).

Farmhouse decor kitchen, relaxing decor throughout.

HD Streaming TV's in each bedroom
HD Streaming TV 65" in the Living Room
HD Streaming TV 42" in the Dining / Family area

Gaming System (Nintendo Switch) provides a nice opportunity for young and old to bond, or just something for the kids to do while you plan your day.

The home is open concept with the Master Bedroom, Dining Area and Kitchen off the Pool/Patio side of the home. This is very relaxing, providing the kind of views your family hopes for on vacation.

Beds are comfortable and rooms are simple to relax in.

2.5 baths across the 2 Living quarters provides ample opportunity to prepare for the day, and to refreshen up after a long day enjoying the area.

The GEM is the Outdoor area. The Dry Dock area (patio) and In ground pool provide SOOOO much room to spread out and enjoy the fun and the sun.

The Guest House is a bonus that cannot be overlooked. It provides a separate living quarter for any couple in your family. Young or Old, some simply like the seclusion and will enjoy being able to turn in early for the night. Guest home is located just off the pool, and is a full amenity (Full Kitchen / Full Bath) offering.

We feel the offering is going to be a big hit!

Pool
5' deep end
3' shallow end

You may also bring in your own floats as you see fit.

Enjoy a cookout from the Patio with many seating options, and chaise loungers for catching some sun.

Weber Grill is ready to feed the entire crew!

With a Pool Home....the action doesn't stop when you get back home for the evening, and can start as early as you like!

Something for everyone here as the home provides many areas to spread out and relax!!

We'll off the Nintendo Switch until Guests don't properly care for the unit. This area is quite relaxing (see pics). Great place for some family bonding, stream your favorite team on ESPN APP.....or just grab a drink with the fellas, or the Misses!

Full Kitchen with everything you'll need with few exceptions (if there's something missing.....let us know, we may add it for your next stay!)

Laundry room right off the Pool with the 1/2 bathroom at the end of the hall (because remember, there's no P in the "OOL" lol

Private Pool House / 1 Bedroom and 1 Bath

A Great area to relax, swim, grill and entertain. This is a true Quality Time area for you and your family and friends.

Large Patio with many seating options including bench seating, table top seating and a built in bar for 4 to enjoy a drink while enjoying some gorgeous sunsets this Summer!

Pool
5' Deep End
3' Shallow End

Important:
Very cool and clean, but keep in mind we're offering this unique experience in a Country Setting. Dad will likely want to skim the pool in the morning to keep it crisp and clean during your stay (not necessary, but we do have the same things floating in the air as any other country setting (bugs, leafs, pollen or even an occasional Mayfly).

Please Please Please - follow those pool rules. We want you to have a great stay, but not at the expense of anyone's safety. No Children in pool without adult supervision. Let’s repeat that, children must be supervised at all times while swimming.

Review those rules Guys/Gals. Its appreciated. we're offering a unique place here, and we're excited about it!

Weber Grill to let the Master Chef show off his skills. Grilling Utensils in both the Main Home and Pool House.

Grounds - We would love to see folks enjoying the property, we only ask that you stay clear of the Pole barn as it represents part of the home upkeep and Maintenance (Lawncare etc), and that area is not part of your stay.

Front porch, front and side yards are great for a walk or for the kids to burn off some energy!


We are located less than 1 mile from the PC City limits, a hop, skip and jump from the home!

BONUS - NO Direct NEIGHBORS (closest being a few hundred yards away with an empty lot between their property and ours...... play your music, entertain and play around in the pool and play your music at your level! (no direct neighbors to bother).

Short drive down the road to Jolly Rogers (for Perch and Walleye!) and Slaters Food and Spirits, The Jet Express (to Put In Bay) as well as our local Port Clinton shops!

Enjoy places like "Ala Carte", "Northern Exposure" (great gift shop) as well as places like "The GristMill", "The Bait House", "Docks Beach House", "Bootleggers", "McCarthy's Irish Pub" and "Slaters Food and Spirits"!

Did I mention the newly renovated Jolly Rogers Restaurant for local Perch / Walleye Dinners and more!! I did....but its exceptional!

You're about 2 miles from downtown Port Clinton, and a Beautiful walk along the Lake Erie Shores! I recommend spending an evening on foot, seeing where your feet decide to take you!

Hop in your car for a Short Drive to the Marblehead Lighthouse (15 mins), Cedar Point (25 mins) and all the fishing options you could possibly want (plenty of on shore spots for Dad / Daughter fishing days, and those who simply like to walk and cast. I'm an avid fishermen, just ask!

Great Family Getaway!
This was our first time staying in this area and really enjoyed all the fun things/yummy places to eat! The house was in a great location and close to everything you’ll need. We had fun at the art fair and local fishing on Lake Erie. The house itself was perfect! There were 6 adults and 5 kids between the age of 12 and 3. We had plenty of space between the main house and the guest house. Everything was stocked up (coffee, creamer, a bowl of snacks, bathroom toiletries, lots of games, pool floats, etc). All the extra details were much appreciated and not something you often see when renting! The owners were quick to respond and helpful when we had questions! The house was in great shape, very clean, and the beds were very comfortable! The pool was also very clean and perfect to lounge in. We also enjoyed the big deck and yard. Couldn’t be happier with our stay and if we come out this way again, we would love to stay here again!

Loved our stay from start to finish
Our group (5 adults and 3 children) take an annual trip together, and this year was our 14th. This house was one of the best we've stayed in! So many details were attended to (well furnished, many extra amenities, clear instructions, labeled cabinets). The host was very communicative and responsive as well. I received an email to let me know that housekeeping was all done & we could check in early, which was very thoughtful. He also responded to questions VERY quickly and thoroughly. It's clear that they take pride in this property and genuinely want their guests to have a great time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vacation home, and I hope to get to stay there again someday!

Great family pool time
Stayed with family, including a 6 yr old and we so enjoyed the crystal clear pool that was large enough for all family flotation devices and for water games. House was clean, organize and well appointed. Lots of pool towels available too

Great place for a couples' weekend!
To some extent, we wanted a place to stay near the lake for some recreation, but we mainly just wanted a nice place to hang out with old friends for the weekend. This property was absolutely perfect for that. The house was clean and comfortable. The pool is as nice as it looks in the photos, and there was plenty of room for the 8 of us to sleep. It sits on a fairly busy road, but we liked that it was secluded, and the view in the back is nice. Would definitely recommend, particularly if you plan to spend a fair amount of time at the property.
