Newly remodeled bathrooms, island, historic, and locally crafted décor, custom quad queen bunk room, games, high-speed enterprise WIFI, HBO Max, Netflix, and streaming YouTube TV service are among some of the upgrades. The Queen Elizabeth keeps the title of the nicest rental home on the island and best place for entertaining! It features a large open living room, dining room and game area. Fresh, clean linens and towels along with all bathroom, kitchen, and grilling essentials are provided for your stay. Come relax and know that you will have everything you need!

The best!

I cannot say anything bad about this property. Owners are great, house is beautiful, and has the perfect location. Close enough to walk anywhere on the strip but far enough you dont get the noise pollution. Had a blast playing the games provided and fire pit was perfect for the cool evenings. Will be back next time in the area!!

Great Vacation Home

We've stayed several times at this property. Its perfect for our family vacation. The kids enjoy the bunk bed room alot. In fact they don't want to leave the house to go anywhere. We adults enjoy sitting on the back porch but we also enjoy leaving the house to walk into town. Its just steps away from everything. We'll be back again next year.

Beautiful and Relaxing Home - Great for Families

This was our second time staying at this property and once again we were not disappointed in anything! The house is clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies and games for the family. The location is perfect. So close to town you don't need to rent a golf cart unless you want one for the pure fun of it. We especially loved the enclosed porch that overlooks the lake and the monument. Spent every morning and evening enjoying that view. We plan on staying here again next year!

What a great house!

Booking the property was very easy. Communication with the host was great and they responded very quickly. They were very detailed with house information, what to do, and where to go. I absolutely will stay here again. The pictures were beautiful and when we got there it was even better in person. The bunk room is open to some of the sounds in the main portion of the house but such a cool space.

Bachelorette Party!

This VRBO was perfect for our bachelorette party! I can't say enough great things. It was extremely clean and well taken care of. It's beautifully decorated and is the perfect location if you're looking to be close to all the action. The pictures don't do justice & also show some carpet, which now has updated wood floors, that's a plus! Chad & Michelle were very quick at responding with any questions I had as well. Highly recommend this place!

Perfect Rental for Comfort and Location

My family has been vacationing almost every summer in PIB since 1997 and we all agree that this house has been our favorite. Comfortable, clean and modern right down to the lighted toilets! It's the first time our grandkids all slept together. The bunkbed room was perfect for them making the other bedrooms perfect for all the adults. Your location so close to town enabled us to walk to everything. Look for us to book again!

Perfect Location, Comfortable Home

We had a wonderful visit at the Queen Elizabeth house. First, the location! It is the best location on the island, IMO. So much is within walking distance, and don’t even worry about noise. The inside of the house is quiet and you aren’t bothered by anything nearby. The house itself is beautiful. The inside is completely updated with very nice kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We stayed with family and our daughter. Great place for a family vacation!

This house is perfection!

We rented The Queen Elizabeth house for a big family vacation. Everyone couldn't stop saying how impressed they were with the house. In addition to being large and beautifully decorated/updated, the small details truly stand out. The amenities in the bathrooms make you feel as if you are staying at a fancy hotel. They really have thought of everything! We took turns cooking dinner for the group each night and there is everything you need to prepare and serve meals. I also really appreciated that they have small oscillating fans to use in each room. The location was even better than we realized when booking - you are truly steps from everything! We had 5 kids from toddlers to teens and all but the toddler slept in the bunk room - it's SO COOL! I can't say enough about how much we loved this home. Priceless family memories were made and we can't wait to go back some day.

Outstanding Accommodations!

Over the last 10 years we have stayed at many different rental spots on Put-In-Bay, but this is by far our best experience. The Queen Elizabeth is an impeccably-kept property that perfectly embodies the feel of the island. Seamless from start to finish! It is not only decorated to perfection but is cozy, yet roomy and has the best layout to host a group comfortably. So many spots to congregate all with ample room and seating. The home was completely updated (yet true to PIB charm) spotless and provided all of the staples (and then some) to make our stay even easier. The location is another five star feature. We always opt for cart rental, but with QE being in the heart of it all, you can fully enjoy the island on foot quite easily. Our family was in awe of this property being not only exactly as pictured - but even better in person! We are thankful to Chad and Michelle for hosting us on another successful vacation on the bay - the very best to date!

Review of Queen Elizabeth

Leading up to our arrival, the owners were amazing at answering any questions I had and in a timely manner. When we arrived, we were in awe of the house. The pictures don't do this home justice. Its beautiful, spacious, the layout is perfect and the location is perfect. The outdoor firepit area was so nice to sit around. We had 16 girls and no one had one complaint. Best weekend we have ever had at PIB and we can't imagine coming up and not staying at the Queen Elizabeth.
