Great Place!

We were in town for an event and didn’t want to stay in a hotel. This property was in a very convenient location. Overall the property was clean and comfortable and has many extras like a pool, hot tub, yard games, etc. Owners were very responsive with any questions I had. I would stay here again for sure.

Convenient and Spacious

The property was conveniently located near downtown Sandusky and the Great Wolf Lodge. Our family of 4 had plenty of space and the open concept made it ideal for the littles to run around. The hosts were easy to contact and responsive to our messages.

Nice Place, Good Location (to ball fields)!

Our stay was good and the hosts were helpful and very nice to deal with. We had a couple issues that they immediately addressed. We did deal with some noise from the construction going on at the property, undisclosed, but I will say the workers were respectful of our presence and keep the pounding to a minimum. I was initially taken back when I heard the pool was a shared pool since the ad read "Your Own Oasis" but it all worked out in that both families were never at the pool at the same time, I don't think we all would have fit!

Rental was Awesome

The hosts, house and pool were great. Everything was so clean and it had everything we could need and more. My only suggestion would be to not have your political views plastered everywhere around the outside of the house. Even those in our group that agree with your banners and bumper stickers didn’t particularly like it being in our face while away for the weekend. Thanks for a great stay otherwise.

Great place to stay close to Sandusky

Jeff and his wife were great hosts, and always available for any questions we might have. Had so many games around it’s impossible to get bored staying there. Our friends rented out the house connected to the back yard and it was perfect place to share with (friends or family). Loved it!! He even reached out to me when I forgot my camera charger and battery and offered to mail it!! So kind!

Weekend getaway

Jeff was a great host for our long weekend in Sandusky! He and his wife are very familiar to the area and it was convenient they use the unit above the rental as they were helpful in making local recommendations throughout our stay. The rental was very clean, comfortable and accommodating. We had everything we needed available to us. The yard for the unit was large and we were able to enjoy a small fire as well as play yard games. We used the pool for a significant part of one of our days and it was a great temperature and well maintained pool deck. I hope to visit this property again!

We had the best time!

The house and location were absolutely perfect! The hosts were great and friendly, while also giving us our space. You’re very close to restaurants and the ferry. They had a fire going for our arrival and the backyard was a great place to hang out and relax. The pool area wasn’t open yet but there were plenty of other things to do! We will definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by jeff kermath

My wife and I have been vacationing in Sandusky for over 10 years. It's a great, family friendly place to bring the kids.

Why they chose this property

Our "Mini Resort" is unique in town. We own through to 2 streets. NOTE: The pool is semi private, shared only with the other home directly behind this one.
The back yards of each home adjoin with a built in, heated, 14x28 inground, saltwater pool with waterfall. It's like your own oasis really. One back yard has a massive pool deck with tiki bar, gas firepit / gazebo and the other back yard is fenced / pet friendly with Corn hole, Bocce ball and a firepit! We also rent our 2017 Yamaha waverunner. Please inquire when you book.
