Buyer beware and informed, some of the language of this add is a bit optimistic.

"Setting the stage for luxury and comfort in Port Clinton, Ohio" depends on your definition of luxury and comfort.

Our townhome had two main floor bedrooms and an upper loft, all with twin beds - so it could sleep 6 in beds and maybe 2 more on couches. There was no double bed for a couple to sleep in, and my 6' husband's feet hung over the edge of all beds. Bedding was not impressive in any fashion, nor were pillows. There were no lamps in the bedrooms, so overhead lights only.

2 bathrooms and a washer dryer were all good. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, but bring your own coffee because they don't provide ANYTHING. Lovely table and chairs, big comfy couches and a big TV, all good. Lots of taxidermy, which I find troubling but that might just be me.  

"The Bay's Edge consists of spacious townhomes along the shores of a well-stocked private fishing pond"  - again, rather optimistic....

The townhomes sit on a small man-made square pool of water. It's not a pond. It's stocked with fish, and "catch and release" fishing is allowed, so the fish just keep getting hurt and tossed back over and over. Doesn't seem very sport-like to me.  There is no way to get into, or on to the water. It's for looks only. There is a very small area of sand and chairs that is trying to look like a beach but is not. Water is chemically treated, and dead fish were at the water's edge.

There is a horseshoe pit and a volleyball area, and the outdoor public bathroom was spotless.

Major roads on all sides, so it doesn't look, or feel, like a resort, but more like a roadside attraction.

The deck is lovely. Great table and chairs, great gas grill. Renting a sun umbrella will set you back 50.00 + a 30.00 deposit you'll get back (and the sign explaining this is worded in an angry and scolding fashion, as if you are in trouble for a past sin). At this time of the year, it was impossible to be on the deck without it - too hot, full sun.

The deck has rails and is mostly child-proof but the square body of water is wide open and easy for little kids to fall as they look for fish.

Check-in takes place at the fish-cleaning and bait store on the property, and this is where fisher-people on bigger lakes might enjoy the place, they could fish on the big waters, come home, have the fish cleaned and then grill them up themselves. The bait store also sells beer and Amish furniture. Fish cleaning must be paid for in cash, and there is no ATM on site.

If guys were on a fishing weekend, they'd probably be ok as long as they didn't mind the short beds. Families should note the challenges in the bedrooms and the safety issues. Location is close to bigger water, and it might be a good place to stay for Cedar Point as well.

I wish I could say the front desk person made it all worthwhile, but she was terse and gruff, as others have stated. To be fair, it can't be an easy job do deal with fisher-people while running a fish cleaning business. The reservation and payment was accurate and easy. Nobody was wearing a mask in the store.

We don't fish, we were attending a birthday gathering at Twin Oast, which is a great nearby brewery. We were really looking forward to being away from the kids and getting a great night's sleep, but it wasn't possible in twin beds.

Since we had to go out for coffee in the morning, we left long before check out, so we paid 271.00 for 19 hours.

Hope this helps others.
