Port Clinton, Ohio
This great 1-BR will sleep a max of 4 with a queen bed in the master and a sleeper sofa in the living room; offers a fully equipped kitchen; washer/dryer; cable TV ; free WiFi; and, balcony with great lake view! The grounds at the Shores have to be seen to be believed. A charming entrance opens onto a handsomely landscaped compound featuring a heated pool, hot tub, decks, bridges & lake stream.
I would say the biggest perk to this property is it's location. You do have a view of the lake from the balcony. It is also a good location because you are central to the ferries, activities, etc. There is also a nice little ice cream shop just a short walk away. The negative for me was that there was no central AC, there is a window unit in the bedroom and some box fans, so you can position the fans to try and cool down the living room, but then you are freezing at night trying to keep the living room cool. The bed is also a full not a queen and very uncomfortable. So between the air unit, the trains running somewhere in the distance, and the bed I did not sleep well at all. The unit has a new kitchen but the rest of the unit is a bit dated with grungy grout, etc. So an average unit with a good location.
Beautiful view and cozy setting. Will book again!
Nice view of the lake, close to restaurants and other things. Jet express close
Good experience
We really enjoyed our stay here despite the less than ideal weather. The outside of the building looks pretty rough, but it was very nice inside the condo itself. It looks like they are in the process of repainting the exterior and replacing a lot of the wood railings. As other reviewers have pointed out, the parking spot was pretty tight and difficult to get in and out of if you have a larger or mid-size vehicle. When we arrived, the garbage cans in the kitchen were full, and there were coffee grounds still in the coffee maker — however the rest of unit appeared clean.
This well-appointed and renovated unit with a spectacular view was absolutely perfect for our first visit to this charming area. The only drawback is that the assigned parking space was really tight for a Toyota RAV4 - but there are easily accessible parking spots for larger vehicles. Cannot wait to return - but this private unit in particular was key for a great stay!
Everything from the property to the grounds was wonderful!
The condo is very clean, high-end appliances, well located near the water, the pool and commons area. The parking underneath the condo was a little tight for a full-size SUV, so we parked in the common area. The glass sliding doors were very heavy, and difficult to open and close, the rollers are worn out on the bottom. The view of the lake from the patio was awesome, the sound of the waves, very therapeutic. It was a little warm when we checked in, the air conditioning unit in the bedroom was considerably loud, but did an adequate job cooling down the condo, with the use of two box fans, three were provided but one of the box fans was broken. The sleeper sofa was worn out, probably should be replaced. The pool was very clean and nice, refreshing, and the Jacuzzi /hot tub was very nice and clean also. The common area with the outdoor fire pits very very nice, everything was landscaped beautifully. A nice experience overall, and we would consider staying there again.
Nice view, nice layout. Kitchen and family room updated and clean. Shower worked well. Patio looking out to water and you can see a little of pool area. Note: no paper towels, no wash cloths, only 1 hand towel for 2 adults, no extra blankets (thin coverlet on bed). There was additional toilet paper and trash bags. Bring your own bar soap for shower. The supplied soap was the size of a pat of butter! TV cable boxes were outdated with 3 remotes but we were able to figure it out. Drip coffee pot worked fine. Window unit a/c in bedroom. All in all, it was a good place to stay for a couple of nights.
The apartment has a beautiful view. It is very clean and had all the necessary amenities as we could stay there for more than a weekend with an infant. Easy access to the pool area and has parking right underneath our stay. Overall it is a wonderful experience.
