Port Clinton Vacation Rental condo

My family stayed in the condo owned by Jeff & Dawn at Green Cove near Port Clinton. Although it is a little off the beaten path, it is only a 10 minute drive to Port Clinton and there is actually a little convenience store and great little restuarant right on site.

The unit is very comfortable and clean and right on the water. The sunsets at night were spectacular. The geese and ducks swimming up the channel were also interesting to watch.

We stayed for a week and we couldn't believe all the things that there are to do in the area. In fact, we couldn't get all of the things done that we wanted to. If you like animals, don't miss the African Animal Park - it is a
drive through park where you can actually feed and touch the many hoofed animals that they have there. If you go in the early summer, there are many babies.

I would return here in a heartbeat - the Jeff & Dawn were great to rent from, very friendly and their prices are very reasonable. I can't wait to try some of their other rentals in other areas as well.

My son and I had a great time fishing for walleye at Lake Erie. The condo has a boat dock with easy access to the Lake and the Reefs by Davis-Besse Power Plant. The Condo has all the amenities of home, making it a nice place to stay for fishing and boating, then cooking your catch when you get in. There is a cleaning station for the fish right accross the street. I would reccommend this place to someone who likes to fish and go boating. If you don't have your own boat to bring, there are plenty of Charter Captains ready to take you fishing. For two guys this is perfect, 4 guys would be a little crowded, especially if they snore or have a lot of items. It would be OK for a family of 4. The only negative was, taking to long to get the deposit back.

Thanks Jeff for letting us stay, see you next year!

This sondo is not located 5 minutes from Port Clinton, it is at least a 15 minute ride to the town itself, very much off the beaten path, no night life. It has a restaurant down the street, marina, and a gas station. The condo itself is very small. The bed in bedroom could use a more comfortable mattress, very poor sleeping. It also does not have eating space for 4 people there are 2 bar stools that meet up to the kitchen counter. Nice pool.

I would recommend this property if you are looking for a decent, no frills place to stay. It was clean and satisfactory with a pretty well-equipped kitchen and fresh towels and sheets. But, it is not actually on the lake - it is on a little U shaped stream that lets out to the lake, as wide as you can see in the photo above. To get to the actual lake and downtown Port Clinton where shopping, restaurants, and the Jet Express are, you have to drive for about 10 minutes - but it's not bad. It is close and convenient to the Camp Perry Army Base where the National Rifle Matches are held. The pool is nice and within walking distance, and we enjoyed sitting on the back patio and watching the boats go by. I was given keys for a different unit than on the contract, but I guess they own both and they are comparable. Our unit did not have a DVD player and the TV would randomly switch to channel 3, and there was no dining table but a breakfast bar with 2 stools. The owners were friendly and all went smoothly, but there were a couple of times I felt they could have been a little better with communication - like when I had to email and ask where the contract was, had to send a second request to answer questions about the unit, and had to email after a month had passed to ask for my $100 deposit refund. There is not a ton to do in Port Clinton, but we did enjoy our afternoon at the island and dinners on the patio at Dock's Beach House Restaurant (across from the Commodore Perry Hotel). It was nice to be able to make breakfast and lunch at the condo and we went to Super Walmart for some groceries and they had good prices on area souvenirs. This is an upstairs unit with parking, cold A/C, and a full size fridge.
