We just returned home from our stay at the condo. First let me say that this unit is very nicely equipped. It's a small one bedroom with a sleeper sofa. The kitchen is well stocked. The unit was very clean upon check-in. The view from the balcony is GORGEOUS. We couldn't have asked for a better location as far as the lake view was concerned. The condos are close to many restaurants and several other businesses and attractions. There is a small saltwater pool and hot tub at the property. In my opinion the pool is small for the amount of condos surrounding it and would get very crowded at certain times of the day. There's also a tiny sand beach below the pool area. Please note that there are no laundry facilities in this condo. There is a laundromat about 4 blocks away I believe but we didn't utilize it. Down the road is a great beach to lay out and swim, which we loved! Unfortunately our trip hit a few snags.
When we arrived at the property, we decided to go for a swim after we had unpacked, as it was very hot. We were in the pool with 4 or 5 people who started chatting with us. Literally 10 minutes into our swim and we were told that "We don't like renters here" and were given several rules to follow. This was very off-putting (and rude), not to mention my older son didn't go back to the pool at all for the rest of the trip. He felt like he was being watched and criticized and it made him very uncomfortable.
Also, please note that even though the rules
which were in our unit stated that no pets are to be in the condos, there was an owner who had their dogs running the beach area without leashes. My kids and I were walking back from taking our trash to the dumpster and one of the dog's ran up to me and bit my arm. I ended up having to go to the hospital, get a tetanus shot and have to take antibiotics for 7 days. So please be aware of this if you plan on having your small children here.....keep an eye out for irresponsible pet owners who feel entitled to do whatever they please just because they own a unit, regardless of who it harms.
One last thing to mention.....The bedroom has a wall a/c unit. The rest of the condo, however, gets quite warm. There were a few fans but they didn't help the warm air very much, as it was in the 80's and 90's all week.
Overall, our trip wasn't how we had planned it to be, but we tried to make the best of the situation. We will definitely return to Port Clinton, as it is a lovely little lake town.
