Please.... DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU READ THE FOLLOWING:
***Dogs are $35 per night, per dog; dog fees will be collected upon booking.***
***Guests who bring boats will pay a $65 docking fee per night***
1. THERE IS NO SWIMMING IN THE WATER AROUND THE HOUSE - this area is full of docks where people keep their boats and use electricity so it is not safe to swim.
2. There is no trespassing on, in, around, in front of any other boathouse or boat well on Catalina Drive, ESPECIALLY the private, gated home at the north end of the street. This is NOT a community space. Guests who trespass on any other property on this street will be removed from the boathouse with NO REFUNDS.
3. There is no boat launch in our community. There's a public ramp to launch boats. Guests cannot leave their trailer at the boathouse, as there is no room. We recommend the City of Sandusky Boat Ramp located at 1099 W Water St #1001, Sandusky, OH 44870. Owner is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of guests using any launch ramp nor any trailer storage losses.

We found the property clean and well equiped. The location was great, a few blocks from Cedar point and 5 minutes from downtown waterfront. A number of the units in the same area were in need of a face lift but this property had been updated and we'll maintained. Too bad we did not have a boat, have to say the pricing is obviously a function of the boat accommodations. Access to the boathouse is immediately out the rear door. The only negatives i can note is limited parking and I thought the queen beds were too hard. My wife did not agree so just personal preference. The host was great, helpfull with information and responded quickly to our questions. We enjoyed our time in Sandusky.
