SōLSTAY is a glamping retreat on a marina in Sandusky. It feels like a perfect nautical getaway…read more It's an ideal place to disconnect, reconnect with nature, and sleep in unique accommodations. When I visited for a book event (The Cozy Chapter), I found myself thinking - "Wait, is this Ohio? How amazing! Vacay vibes!" Accommodations: Lodging is definitely very unique compared to the surrounding options. Accommodations include houseboats or cottages with various tiers. Lodging accommodates anywhere from 2 to 8 people (plus pets). Both cottages and houseboats have big windows to look at the marina and surrounding nature. Houseboats seem like the most exciting option (they gently sway in water). All lodging includes shared hot tub, floating sauna, and wifi. Pricing is comparable to a hotel starting around $143 (varies based on dates and selection). Pricing and what's included are clearly stated. I think that prices are well worth it. Photos show the exact view you'd see outside your windows and interior accommodations. Interior seems very well designed and picture perfect. Some accommodations don't include shower/bathroom which are shareable onsite. Booking is available on Airbnb and on their website. Parking is available onsite. Activities: There are plenty of activities to do while vacationing. Offsite Cedar Point is minutes away. Onsite there are fishing, hiking (large property), boat tours and boating, kayaking, birding, relaxing by the fire, relaxing by the water in the Adirondack chairs, floating sauna and hot tub. No swimming is available in the marina (not deep), but there is another water location on the property. There's a store onsite where you can play board games or grab any essentials you might have forgotten. Events: I visited for an event series at SōLSTAY - The Cozy Chapter (booked via Eventbrite). It includes book discussion on particular book genre, crafts, book swap, gift, conversations about favorite reads, and community at the SōLSTAY store. The event is ticketed, opened to lodging guests and visitors. Guests can purchase tickets for the season or drop in. I loved the event! Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, social, and in sync. The organizers were so sweet and amazing, even more friendly than I would reasonably expect! They were just really good people! I also found out that they have little free library onsite for any readers who stay here. Book events should return in the colder months. While I only dropped in for an event, I already have plans to return and lodge! They have an all day retreat coming up in the fall! I can't wait to recharge at this dreamy location - lodge, retreat, and use an amazing floating sauna! I'm telling you, you have to experience this place!

if I would have known how this place was going to treat the people who we brought in for catering…read moreand how the bartender treated our guest. My husband and I would have NEVER had our wedding here. We had a cash bar at our wedding and our guest were okay with it. We even told them before the event. One guest tried to bring their own drinks in but were told no by the event coordinator. Our guests respectful their request. However, the bartender told them to pour their drinks into a styrofoam cup and bring it in. Again no! That will get our event shut down. The bartender was rude to our guest, swearing at kids, overcharging our guest for drinks. We had guest tell us they were charged $4 for pop when on contract it was $2,$6 for cranberry with no alcohol, someone charged $14 for a pop and a high noon,as well charging men less then women and after the wedding reception we were told she served someone underage alcohol as she wasn't checking IDs. My husband asked the bartender nicely for help opening the champ bottles. The bartender old him, "I'm your bartender not your fucking event coordinator. Go find her". My husband was soon down with that and went to go find her. He told the event coordinator either we get a new bartender or no more drinks. She called the owner of the place and said if she leaves, no more drinks. My husband said okay, he got on the mic and asked everyone if they wanted any more drinks. Everyone said no and he turned to the coordinator and said "get her the fuck out" to the bartender. Many people have asked us if we believe that the bartender was acting the way she did because it was two gay guys getting married and I honest believe that. If we had a choice to pick our own bartender it would be different. After the reception we found out the catering service we had was denied heating elements and utensils. Just not the stove. When our catering service asked for help and assistance, the coordinator said under her breath, "what kind of catering company are you, you fucking Mexican." My husband's aunts stepped up to help the catering company we had. When we brought up the issues with the owner of the event hall about the bartender and underage serving. He brushed it off as it was nothing. My husband informed the owner that someone recorded him going off on the mic and uploaded it online and how it's going viral. The owner said that was unprofessional of that person. But yet it wasn't unprofessional how the bartender and coordinator acted? I will be sure that all my friends, family and my husband's family and friends never host an event here

They also had free wifi too, which was a plus. The service was not bad at all, they were friendly. It kinda had the feel of a mom and pop motel. A couple things that we didn't like: our room REAKED of stale smoke and the comforters had burn holes in them. The location was good for going to Cedar Point. Overall, not a bad place to stay.

This home accommodates 6-8 people. It has a large beautiful screened in porch on the back of house, a large dine in breakfast area and an office if you need to get some work done.

There is also a golf cart rental spot right across the street if you want to explore the island more!

I have had the pleasure of staying in this house every summer for the past 3 years and I have to…read moresay it is something I look forward to every year. It is the perfect place to stay for a group of 8 people. The price is affordable for anyone on a budget. I believe it is $550 per night (there is a 2 night minimum). For that price you get 3 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has two twin beds, Bedroom 2 has 1 Queen Bed, and Bedroom 3 has a King Bed and 1 twin bed. There is also another room that has a queen size air mattress, however there are no doors. It used to be an office that they converted into an extra room. There is a fully equipped kitchen (great for group dinners), a dining room with a large table and a living room with cable. Lots of ceiling fans, however there is AC. All of this in a very open environment perfect for entertaining. There is a nice screened in back porch with a nice wicker lounge set. A large yard, perfect for games and laying out. There are two parking spots in front of the house if you even dare decide to bring a car onto the island. By the way, don't feel like you need to bring a car because the house is a 5-10 minute walk from the Jet Express. If you take the Miller Ferry, you can take the Lime Kiln Bus where it will drop you off at the train depot right across the street from the house. If you feel the need to go out, all of the popular bars and restaurants are really close to the house too. My favorite part about staying at The Queen Elizabeth is that you really feel like you are at home. I just love looking at all of the personal memorabilia and pictures belonging to the family that owns the house. I truly feel so welcome and comfortable whenever I stay at the Queen Elizabeth and I will continue to go every summer with my group. We call this our Island Home.

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