Port Clinton's Hidden Retreat Gem!

Everyone says that….but we mean it!

Main Home with In ground PRIVATE POOL & Patio +a Private Guest House separate of the home.

NOTE - The only PRIVATE POOL listing in Port Clinton!

Main House 3B / 1.5 Bath

Guest House (Great for privacy !) 1B / 1 Bath

Our Great Lake Retreat Villa is situated mere minutes from all Port Clinton activities such as Fishing, Boating, Eats & Drinks, Night Life, Beaches, Lighthouses, Family Fun & more!

Close to: Cedar Point & The Lake Erie Islands (Put In Bay / Kelleys Island ), Marblehead and Port Clinton Lighthouses, Birdwatching and multiple State Parks.


With a mix of Farmhouse Inspiration throughout, we've added some subtle Nautical flare to the home and created Port Clinton's lone Great Lake Escape Pool Home / Villa, and believe the Guest House is a GREAT addition vs. a standard vacation rental. The Guest House allows multiple families to enjoy additional privacy vs. standard rentals, or a place for Mom/Dad or Grandpa/Grandma to either escape from the grandkids....or to simply turn in early.

Farmhouse decor kitchen, relaxing decor throughout.

HD Streaming TV's in each bedroom
HD Streaming TV 65 in the Living Room
HD Streaming TV 42 in the Dining / Family area

Gaming System (Nintendo Switch) provides a nice opportunity for young and old to bond, or just something for the kids to do while you plan your day. Bring you own games, or take advantage of what we provide (the games vary).

The home is open concept with the Master Bedroom, Dining Area and Kitchen off the Pool/Patio side of the home. This is very relaxing, providing the kind of views your family hopes for on vacation.

Beds are comfortable and rooms are simple to relax in, with the Queen bedroom in the main home offering leisurely reading options and even a few lotions throughout the year.

Having 2.5 baths across the 2 Living Spaces (Main House + Guest House) provides ample opportunity to prepare for the day, and to refreshen up after a long day enjoying the area, with the privacy everyone expects from home (even while sharing a vacation rental).

The GEM is the Outdoor area. The Dry Dock area (patio) and In ground pool provide SOOOO much room to spread out and enjoy the fun and the sun.

The Guest House is a bonus that cannot be overlooked. It provides a separate living space for any couple in your family. Young or Old, some simply like the seclusion and will enjoy being able to turn in early for the night. Guest home is located just off the pool, and is a full amenity (Full Kitchen / Full Bath ) offering. FULL AC of course in the Guest House as well!

As we head into Season 4.....the property has been a hit!

You may also bring in your own floats as you see fit, and we'll provide some as well.

Enjoy a cookout from the Patio with many seating options, and chaise loungers for catching some sun, as well as the updated Polywood furniture new for 2025!

The Weber Grill is ready to feed the entire crew!

With a Pool Home....the action doesn't stop when you get back home for the evening, and can start as early as you like! Keep the kids entertained while you plan out the day, or keep the good times rolling into the evening. With your own private pool, the vacation feels like a vacation 24/7, not just when you leave the home!

Something for everyone here as the home provides many areas to spread out and relax!!

A Great area to relax, swim, grill and entertain. This is a true Quality Time area for you and your family and friends.

Large Patio with many seating options including bench seating, table top seating and a built in bar for 4 to enjoy a drink while enjoying some gorgeous sunsets this Summer!

Pool

3' Shallow End

Important:
Very cool and clean, but keep in mind we're offering this unique experience in a Country Setting. Dad will likely want to skim the pool in the morning to keep it crisp and clean during your stay (not necessary, but we do have the same things floating in the air as any other country setting (bugs, leafs, pollen or even an occasional Mayfly).

Please Please Please - follow those pool rules. We want you to have a great stay, but not at the expense of anyone's safety. No Children in pool without adult supervision. Let’s repeat that, children must be supervised at all times while swimming.

Review those rules Guys/Gals. Its appreciated. we're offering a unique place here, and we're excited about it!

Weber Grill to let the Master Chef show off his skills. Grilling Utensils in both the Main Home and Pool House.

Grounds - We would love to see folks enjoying the property, we only ask that you stay clear of the Pole barn as it represents part of the home upkeep and Maintenance (Lawncare etc), and that area is not part of your stay.

Front porch, front and side yards are great for a walk or for the kids to burn off some energy!


We are located less than 1 mile from the PC City limits, a hop, skip and jump from the home!

BONUS - NO Direct NEIGHBORS (closest being a few hundred yards away with an empty lot between their property and ours...... play your music, entertain and play around in the pool and play your music at your level! (no direct neighbors to bother).

Short drive down the road to Jolly Rogers (for Perch and Walleye!) and Slaters Food and Spirits, The Jet Express (to Put In Bay) as well as our local Port Clinton shops!

Enjoy places like Ala Carte, Northern Exposure (great gift shop) as well as places like The GristMill, The Bait House, Docks Beach House, Bootleggers, McCarthy's Irish Pub and Slaters Food and Spirits!

Did I mention the newly renovated Jolly Rogers Restaurant for local Perch / Walleye Dinners and more!! I did....but its exceptional!

You're about 2 miles from downtown Port Clinton, and a Beautiful walk along the Lake Erie Shores! I recommend spending an evening on foot, seeing where your feet decide to take you!

Hop in your car for a Short Drive to the Marblehead Lighthouse (15 mins), Cedar Point (25 mins) and all the fishing options you could possibly want (plenty of on shore spots for Dad / Daughter fishing days, and those who simply like to walk and cast. I'm an avid fishermen, just ask!

    Steve made it very easy to check in and out. Everything was laid out easily. The home is beautiful. We had a girls weekend and had the best time hanging out together at the house . Enjoyed one night in downtown PC but it was their off season so not much night life. Pool and patio were beautiful!!!!!! They had everything you needed at the house for an enjoyable stay.

    Property is exactly how it is described. Very clean, well maintained and stocked with everything you need. The property owners communication was above expectation. He stayed in contact with us regularly and was very prompt with replying to my questions. We visited with 2 small children and while the weather didn’t cooperate for us to swim in the pool, we still had so much fun hanging around the pool playing with my grandson who enjoyed throwing ball's into the pool. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Steve was very accommodating and answered questions quickly. The house was in a perfect location close to everything. We all really enjoyed our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better house!

    We couldn’t be happier with our stay here. The property itself is wonderful, but the details are what really made our time special! From the entire outdoor area and the pool, to the amenities inside we were thoroughly impressed. We can’t recommend staying here enough and plan to book again next time we are in the area!

    My family had such a great stay at this home. The highlight was the pool, which we used every day. The house was very clean and full of nice touches (several TVs, games, well-equipped kitchen). Communication with Steve & Avery was great too - they were so prompt with their responses and gave us great fishing recommendations in the area. Would stay here again for sure!

    We recently stayed at this VRBO property for our annual trip with another family we're best friends with, and we were initially drawn to the place because of the pool. We were looking for a spot to relax with good food and activities nearby. Once we got into the pool, we barely left! It was so relaxing that we ended up spending most of our time lounging around. The house had plenty of space for our two families (two couples and three adult kids). We cooked meals, played games, and did manage to go out to the Islands for dinner one night. The little gem is plopped right down the road from Port Clinton, which has everything you need. While it sits close to a pretty busy road, the traffic noise didn't bother us or stop anyone from getting a good night's sleep. The separate pool house was great for a bit of extra space. Highly recommend this place—did I mention the pool?
