    Four baseball families were able to share the home comfortably for 5 days. Some of the bedrooms are a little small for suitcases and such, but there is plenty of sleeping space throughout. The kids were entertained by the game rooms. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Sandusky.

    The owner was great and accommodating, the house was absolutely perfect for a family place. The kids had more fun at the house than at cedar point. While it’s right off cedar point drive it felt secluded and private. They had e erythema g you could possible think of!!! I would definitely recommend renting this house to anyone!!!

    Excellent property and stay. Only thing that could be improved is replacing many of the side rail bumpers on the pool table. The current ones are not good at all prevent play. Other than that it is an excellent property, location, and stay.

    We stayed here as an alternative to Kalahari while in town for a competitive dance competition. We had a 5 families, 19 people across the house and apartment. Great location, plenty of room and everything as advertised. As shown in pictures, it is an older home, but is still in really good shape. Kevin was very responsive to any issues or questions we had.

    The house is older so we didn’t expect it to be perfect and it was clean and it did have all of the amenities listed. Our main issue was that the beds were terribly uncomfortable/old and the sheets were horrible. They were pilled and the elastic did not hold. The bed I was on had full sized sheets on a queen so the fitted sheet wouldn’t stay in place. Luckily we had some extra sheets with us and the local target was close by so we bought more. As a pro the house had great amenities and was the perfect location for going back-and-forth to Cedar Point as well as some other local attractions. However, unless the beds and bedding were updated, I probably would not stay there again.
