2 bedroom cottage, 1 side of a duplex, in Catawba. Sandy beach 500 ft away.

OPEN ALL WINTER. BACK DECK IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Price reflects this. Summer community, very secluded October-April. Your home away from home in Catawba with 2 bedrooms. This cozy cottage, 1 side of a duplex, features 1 full bed, 1 queen bed, and 1 sofa bed. All sand beautiful Lake Erie beach just a short walk away. (NOTE: VRBO added that beach is a 9 minute drive away, it is not. It is a 2 minute walk away). Stay connected with WiFi. Experience what the Catawba, Marblehead, Port Clinton,Put-in-Bay and Sandusky area have to offer, with a stay at our cottage. Just 1/2 mile from the Miller Ferry line to Put-In-Bay. Cedar Point a short 1/2 hour drive away. Dining and entertainment within walking distance.

Loved location. Needed a broom to clean cob webs so we could sit outside, found none. Needs updates, but overall good. No live TV needs to be noted!

Island Life

A great and affordable option for a couple or a small family.The property more than met our needs for a week stay on the island. It allowed us to relax in the evening, cook our own food and was close to all the sights and activities.The beach is an easy 5 minute walk. Any reviews that say otherwise are incorrect. The beach is beautiful and is sandy unlike some others that can be very rocky. Patty was very friendly and helpful answering our questions. Her pups were very friendly and came by to say hi more than once.We will definitely be back the next time we visit

Disliked: Cleanliness
Placed smelled like smoke. The bedroom door frames were filthy. I no it said no towels but I overlooked that because who doesn’t have towels for there guests? We decided not to stay there and left to drive home instead.

The cottage was older. But it’s creepy that there is a door with no lock between the two duplexes. Only a piece of scotch tape? The deck outback is completely unsafe as it’s rotting away and there’s a big hole in it. There was cobwebs everywhere and a fresh pile of dog poop, as well as an old pile of dog poop in the front area. I called the host twice. And she has not returned either of my calls.
Filthy this is what you see when you try to walk in the door.
I wanted to sit out back and read… But the deck is completely unsafe. The wood is rotting.
Obvious rotted wood with a hole in the deck.
Dried dog poop

Vintage

The house was well built, all bricks, every single wall inside and out. The decorations were vintage and unique, with an abundance of them. Surprises that weren’t a big deal, but somewhat inconvenient- no closets, smelled like stale smoke, no dishwasher, no air conditioning unless you asked for it, and there was an additional charge.The place has a lot of potential, but floors, bathroom, and stove needed updated.The “private beach” picture means it is privately owned and you DON’T have access to it. Overall a nice stay, just a little dated.
