Please.... DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU READ THE FOLLOWING:
***Dogs are $35 per night, per dog; dog fees will be collected upon booking.***
***Guests who bring boats will pay a $65 docking fee per night***
1. THERE IS NO SWIMMING IN THE WATER AROUND THE HOUSE - this area is full of docks where people keep their boats and use electricity so it is not safe to swim.
2. There is no trespassing on, in, around, in front of any other boathouse or boat well on Catalina Drive, ESPECIALLY the private, gated home at the north end of the street. This is NOT a community space. Guests who trespass on any other property on this street will be removed from the boathouse with NO REFUNDS.
3. There is no boat launch in our community. There's a public ramp to launch boats. Guests cannot leave their trailer at the boathouse, as there is no room. We recommend the City of Sandusky Boat Ramp located at 1099 W Water St #1001, Sandusky, OH 44870. Owner is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of guests using any launch ramp nor any trailer storage losses.
4. Guests who are coming for Cedar Point: please note that Owner is not responsible for any Cedar Point-related issues. We do not guarantee that Cedar Point will be open or whether you'll be able to get in. There will be no refunds for any Cedar Point-related problems.
5. NO SMOKING IN THE BOATHOUSE, IN FRONT OF THE BOATHOUSE, OR IN THE BOAT WELL! SMOKING WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THE PROPERTY.
6. Although there is a propane tank on the BBQ grill, if it becomes empty during a stay, or if it's empty upon arrival, it is the guest's responsibility to exchange the tank.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
My husband and I are foodies, so we primarily travel to eat! One of our favorite destinations is Hilton Head. My husband is a military veteran, and I stay busy running our vacation rentals. We love getting to know new people, which is why transient rentals appeal to us. Our listings appeal to guests because of their proximity to one of the world's largest amusement parks, Cedar Point.
Why they chose this property
Let's have our previous guests answer this question (these reviews were taken off of another booking site so future guests can read even more reviews):
"What a perfect stay!! We got married in Sandusky and were looking for a place to stay, what a perfect find for us! The location was SO convenient to everything and the house was incredible. We were having so much we decided to stay an extra day. Booking an extra night was made very easy and we enjoyed our bonus day to soak in everything by the lake!" -Kathleen, August 2020
"The outside is deceiving as it is a Unique Boat House. Once inside it is a cozy updated home. My son enjoyed fishing from the boathouse which was literally steps from the couch. The home is closer to Cedar Point than many of the Cedar Point hotels are. We also enjoyed several good restaurants in Sandusky." -Phyllis, July 2021
"I highly recommend staying at the Boathouse with Jennifer. Location was top notch, house was as advertised and very comfortable, even though we had a large group. Check in & check out was simple and Jennifer made the whole stay simple. Thanks for being a great host and making my family's trip easy. We will be staying here again and recommending to friends." -Thomas, August 2021
"Best experience, location, and host! The house was cozy, very comfortable, and clean. The location is outside the gates to Cedar Point, and Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and was very accommodating. My family and I will be coming back soon! 5 stars all the way!" -Evanjaleen, August 2021
"This house had everything our family needed for a relaxing and fun getaway. The showers were hot and the beds were comfy. The home is super clean and cutely decorated. The TV room was perfectly cozy for our family movie night. The host provided amazing hospitality and was very knowledgeable about the area. If you are visiting Cedar Point, the location is ideal!" -Erika, June 2019
