The home was very nice, but Expedia gave the impression it was within the gates of Lakeside, Ohio. We were expecting to park at the rental then walk everywhere. But we could not do that since the location was more distant for walking. Other than the location, the rental was very nice.

Weekend Fishing Trip
My son and I needed a place close to the lake to stay for the weekend to go on a fishing charter. This was a great location and a great place to stay. The house was in great condition and the price was a good price point.

We had a girls get away trip that we do each year. We have never traveled to this area and thought we'd give it a try. Was nice with the lighthouse tour and the ferry ride to Putin Bay. Local winery to sample some good wine. Several nice restaurants but a little disappointing as far as shopping.

Sweet cottage
This adorable 2 BR 1 Bath second floor apartment is just where you want to stay if you are near Marblehead. Very close to Lakeside/Chatauqua, Kelly's Island ferry and Marblehead lighthouse. I was there after Labor Day and I had easy access to everything I wanted to see and do - without the summer traffic. The proprietors are onsite and very kind and easy to work with. I would definitely return on my next visit to this area.

Very clean and well provisioned. It was great for us(5 adults. 1 toddler) but may be a little cramped for 6 adults if they were spending the entire visit in the apartment.

This was a very nice condo. Clean and cozy. Beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed eating supper on the deck. We were only a few streets from the Lakeside gate. We were very pleased with everything.

Short stay for Put in Bay
Cute, clean, cozy and close to everything we wanted to do and see. Loved the bed. Very comfy. The shower was tiny and no tub for small kids but that was not an issue for us. Would definitely recommend to others needing to stay in the area!

Cozy and Comfortable
Terrific value for a house at Lakeside. Immediately, we took to the layout and terrific use of space. Only disappointing thing was the inability to walk to Lakeside beach. Google maps decieves you into thinking it is a short walk down several blocks. But the whole gate around Lakeside prevents this as the house is clearly just outside the gate. Thankfully, we discovered the work around: driving to the free parking lot next to the west gate into Lakeside and getting the 2 hour shopping pass (also free). REALLY wish the owner had explained this process in the welcome literature. But once we figured this out, we had two terrific evenings in town and the birds nest was a lovely retreat to return to. We highly recommend staying here. I might add that the owner was very flexible with check out times.

Cozy home away from home
This was the perfect place to stay while visiting friends who live in the area. The A/C was super nice during the heatwave, and the amenities were thoughtful and useful when our 12 year old realized she forgot her toothbrush. The communication from Paul, amenities, and cozy home are the gold standard for VRBO.

Cozy family retreat with easy access.
Cute, cozy, and clean nautical themed loft apartment. Less than a mile from Kelley's Island ferry, with easy access to East Harbor Park. Hosts were friendly. Apartment had all the amenities we needed and more. Our kids loved the board games and the beach toys (we would never have thought of bringing). We cooked breakfast and dinner every day in the kitchen. We loved to enjoy the nice open deck and the fresh lake breeze. Very satisfying stay.

Lovely, cozy stay
The hosts were excellent at communicating from the beginning through the end. They checked in when we arrived and during to see if we needed anything. This upstairs cottage was clean, well-stocked and nicely decorated with all the light, beach styles that remind us of what we love about Lakeside. Even being here in the winter, we enjoyed the peacefulness of the area. Being off the main road we expected more road noise, but we didn't notice it at all. We had a lovely, cozy stay!

Cute & Cozy
This little apartment is very cute, decorated in a beach theme. It is clean and well stocked with amenities. The stairs were a little much for our elderly mother (mentioned only to warn anyone who may overlook this detail as we did). The yard is well maintained, and there is a beautiful deck with seating to enjoy some time outside. Overall, a nice stay.
