Play and Stay on Put in Bay!

Put in Bay, also know as South Bass Island has been called the Key West of the North. It is an island located in the western basin of Lake Erie and is reached by ferry from Port Clinton, Catawba or Sandusky. You can bring a car although the taxi service and golf cart rentals are a great way to get around. Put in Bay is definitely a fun loving place. The summer weekends are noted for the many taverns and nightlife, however during the weekdays and off season, it's a great place to relax with family and friends. There's history with Perry's monument, a lighthouse, butterfly house, wineries, a state park for lake swimming and fishing, a public golf course, jet ski rentals, miniature golf, or just enjoying the scenery at DeRiveria Park! After a busy day you can relax in the new development pool or just soak in the garden tub with a good book. Our home has two decks, great for relaxing and kicking back. On a quiet night you can hear the waves!

Marie was wonderful, providing extra accomodations to help offset the Island Club deciding to work on the roads surrounding the property with very little information on very short notice. Very clean and with plenty of cups, straws, dishes, etc. Thank you!!

Fishing in Put in Bay

Nice space for 6 adults. Very comfortable furnishings and layout. Good size deck on front and back. Too bad they are not clear of debris before arrival. Tough parking more than one truck and boat. All the other house guests near by were great.

Bachelorette Party Weekend

The house is in a great location and the neighborhood was clean and pretty quiet! There’s a nice community pool as well. There is a shuttle service from the Island Club to anywhere you want to go around the island which was a nice surprise! It’s $4 per person one way and it runs until 3AM especially now that you have to pay to park a golf cart around the boardwalk. Our hostess was very helpful and responsive and her instructions for check-in and check-out were easy to understand and follow. The trip and my first experience with VRBO was great!

Great time

It was my first weekend rental and not being very tech savy I was a bit nervous. Everything went without a hitch! We had a wonderful time exploring Put-in Bay and the rental had everything we needed. We will certainly do it again.

Family Vacation

I was pleased with the place. It's in a quit neighborhood and I enjoyed sitting on the decks. We went fishing several times from the bank and caught several catfish, bass, rock bass and perch. You'll wanna rent a golf cart as it seems to be the easiest way to get around the island. My only complaint about the stay was that I ran out of propane on the grill after only using it one time.
