Cleaning fee was unnecessary

We stayed barely 2 days, and did not cook anything. Yet the cleaning fee was very high. They had nothing to clean but strip the bed and wash sheets and towels.

Lakefront stay

We stayed at Doug’s property overnight while we were in town for a Baptism. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of space for us to spread out. The view of the lake is beautiful! The neighborhood is very nice. Wouldn’t mind staying here again in the warm weather.

225 Cedar Point Rd. Sandusky OH

We had a very nice stay at this home and enjoyed our trip. The view is spectacular especially from the second floor.However, whoever cleans this house needs more direction on the following areas. The first floor toilet by the washer and dryer does not flush and needs new inner workings. The kitchen and both shower spouts had an abundant layer of mold on them, which we cleaned. The kitchen faucet base still had the original tape on it which kept flaking off. The coffee pot was clean on the outside, but the inside had built up residue which we had to scrape off. There was alot of black mold underneath the rim of the upstairs shower. Under ALL toilet rims looked like they had not been cleaned in months. We cleaned all of these on the first day. The top of the refrigerator was loaded with dead insects and a pretty substantial layer of dust. There were crumbs (and puzzle pieces) on the floors and underneath tables. Once we cleaned, we truly enjoyed our stay. Doug, thank you for reaching out to us the day of our arrival. We were having computer issues and could not respond. McAfee fixed our issues the second day of our stay. These issues were not the fault of the property.

Great property and great location

We are a family of 4 that was visiting our Ohio family over the holidays and Doug's property was great. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out and even though the weather was wet and windy, the house was air tight and we didn't have to mess with the thermometer much at all. There were plenty of towels, pillows, plugs, tvs, etc. We will definitely book again.

Family bday celebration

The location of this home is amazing!!! We had originally planned to go to Cedar Point but they were at max capacity at noon so we found so many other things to do…Ghostly Manor (not a haunted house but play area with skating rink), African Safaria drive thru and Lagoon Deer Track to name a few. Being from Michigan we are aware of insects by water but wowza, this place was loaded with all kinds!!!! Thank goodness the view is just as gorgeous from the inside. If you plan on using the deck/grill take some repellent, spray and candles. Even opening the door lets in a handful of insects. This did not ruin our stay one bit because, like I said, we live near water and know about it. The layout is exactly like shown in photos. Their family lives right by the house and are available for any questions, concerns, or just to chat. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to the Sandusky area.

Mom's lakeview

A cute house on Cedar Point rd. We are looking to make the most of life since mom started declining with dementia. She always wants to watch the water so we are looking for the most ideal spot for her to enjoy it. This place did not disappoint!

Lakefront on Lake Erie

Our stay was wonderful! Property listing was accurate. Property owner was extremely professional in all means of communication. We appreciate the owner making significant efforts to ensure our stay was very good. Property location is ideal. Very close proximity to travel to Huron and downtown Sandusky. Enjoyed great food, watching the sunrise and sunsets!

Great Location

First time using VRBO and all went surprisingly well. We visit the Lakes often, normally staying in the Vermilion area hotel but this trip was to celebrate Grandpa turning 96 so we wanted a little more room. Communication was excellent, property easy to find, and lock worked as instructed. First floor bedroom with bathroom was perfect, and I loved the upstairs separate living area. The main bedroom upstairs reminded me of a cruise ship cabin, which was perfect. It took a little getting used to all the floor to ceiling windows without blinds or curtains but the views were absolutely worth it. The steps up the back was a little challenging for my grandfather, but he could easily walk around to the front entrance. The Wifi worked perfect for me to work from there one day. We all loved the Sunrises from the front deck, and Sunsets from the backyard. Rate was very reasonable and deposit was returned within 48 hours after checking out. I would stay here again, and liked that this owner has other properties close together that large families could book multiple homes and still be close enough to gather for dinner or visiting.

Cedar Point

Our family of 4 stayed here as a stop over on our trip to NY. We hit Cedar point for the day while here. House was so close to the park, had amazing views from the 2nd floor and met our family’s needs. We really enjoyed the location - you can’t beat it! The only down side (and really is not a fault, just something you should know) is that the stairs are a little steeper than normal in the house, so if you have mobility issues, keep that in mind when booking. Even with that said, we would for sure book this house again!

Great Location

Instructions were good, the view was also very nice. Small kitchen and a little more wear and tear on the home than I'd expected for the price, but all in all the we had a nice visit. Just waiting on my refundable deposit and once I get that back, I'd say all in all it was a successful short trip to Sandusky, OH.

Convention reprieve

We had a busy convention held at Kalahari for our daughters. This place was the quiet we needed to unwind and spend family time together. The view was beautiful and the beds were so comfortable! We really appreciated having the small amenities (washer dryer with soap, stain spray, dish soap, dishwasher soap, etc) and cannot wait to come back again!
