Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ashley Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities It was a different experience for us, pretty neat. I loved that there was an upper deck to watch the sunset. I did not like not being able to use the bathroom on the boat- this was explained in the summary of the property and I was understanding and ok with it, but it smelled so bad in there we would not open the door. Also, we had to move curtains to cover the front window for privacy from anyone on the walk passing the boat. Overall the stay was nice and the owners were friendly. ##### Ashley Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig H. Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful! My wife and I had a wonderful time on the Eclipse! It was a peaceful retreat setting on a boat in the marina. The hosts were very responsive to our needs and the boat was completely as advertised. The location is prime—docked in the marina only five minutes from restaurants on the beach and downtown in Port Clinton. We will definitely stay here again as we were completely refreshed and had access to all of the area's amenities. We loved every minute of it! ##### Craig H.
