Cedar Point trip

Great location!

Exactly what we wanted! Walking distance to the Jet express is priceless! No need for finding parking spots for any of your favorite hotspots. Jeff, the host, is more than helpful with telling you the best places to eat and best places to meet any of your needs. We will absolutely return, and recommend to anyone who wants to visit.

Great location to downtown

We had a fantastic stay at this property. Jeff was responsive, friendly, and a wealth of information for things to do and places to eat. The apartment is located blocks from downtown, so we rarely needed to drive after our arrival. Easy, efficient checkin and out. Highly recommend

Walkable to downtown!

This place was exactly as listed - clean, well-maintained, and had all the things needed for a stay. Jeff was a great host and answered all our questions. He checked in several times during our stay to make we had everything we needed. The location was about a 10 minute drive from Cedar Point and walkable to downtown Sandusky. The ferry to Put in Bay and Kelley’s Island was also within walking distance. Really convenient location!

Great Wknd Getaway in Sandusky

A wonderful stay in a great location in downtown Sandusky. We felt very welcomed with bottles of water and snacks left for us upon arrival. Not only was the location great for walking to all the restaurants and events going on downtown, but inside it was spacious and great for us to relax and enjoy time together as well. Highly recommend. This was our first time staying in Sandusky and plan to stay here again. A must rent when visiting Sandusky.

Fishing Trip to Lake Erie

We visited Sandusky for a High School Bass Tournament and had a great stay. Jeff was a wonderful host and welcomed us like family. The home was a perfect spot to embrace the small town vibe of Sandusky. It was nice to be able to walk into town each night for dinner. The home was clean and comfortable and provided all that we needed to enjoy our weekend. We look forward to a return vist!

Wonderful stay!

First off, great communication from our host, Jeff. Check-in was incredibly easy, he called a couple of hours after check-in to make sure everything went smoothly and if there were any issues with the place or if there was anything we needed. He even sent a couple of restaurant suggestions. Second, the space is exactly as it is pictured. Very clean, very comfortable, everything you might need for your stay is there. Even toiletries in the bathroom.

Celebrating Cory’s Birthday

My husband, son, DIL and myself where in Sandusky for my son’s birthday. Jeff and his wife were wonderful hosts, made us right at home. Contacting Jeff was easy and he got right back with answers to my questions. Location was an easy walkable distance to the Jet Express, restaurants and bars, pretty much anything you wanted to do. We had plenty of space. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Stay

Unit is Clean & maintained, a little dated, close to lake in downtown Sandusky. Stairs up to unit a bit steep and it is a 2nd story unit, so as long as you consider you are going upstairs (2nd story is noted in description). AC seem to stay at 76deg, however, the unit has sufficient ceiling fans to maintain a comfortable temperature. Overall Great Stay

Perfect Sandusky Location!

The place was a perfect Sandusky location- walking distance to Downtown and less than a mile to the Yacht Club and restaurants/bars. Jeff was the perfect host- very friendly! Would definitely stay again. The photos are accurate. It’s an older building, but everything was clean and in working order. Caveat- there is a steep stairwell when you first come into the unit from the front door. But that should not deter you! You’ll enjoy your stay and the cost is reasonable.

Lovely place to stay!

Loved this place! Myself and 3 other friends stayed for the weekend while visiting Cedar Point during their Halloweekends in October. The 405 is a house that appears to be split into an upstairs and downstairs apartment, with this unit being upstairs. There are two bedrooms, a family room, dining room, kitchen, and full bath with a shower. All the rooms are fully furnished and decorated tastefully. Everyone’s favorite part about this stay were the beds. There are two queen sized beds and they are SO comfortable. The mattresses and the sheets were incredibly soft. They were great to sleep in after a few long days. Another great aspect about this VRBO is the location, as it is very close to downtown Sandusky. There are lots of local shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance of the unit, which is great when you don’t feel like driving! The one downside to this place was that there wasn’t any WiFi up and running during our stay. Not a big deal for us since we were at Cedar Point all day, though. Jeff is a very friendly and welcoming host, and he made sure to call me before our departure to give us instructions on how to get into the unit and recommend a few nearby bars. We would all recommend this unit to anyone traveling to Sandusky, Cedar Point, and/or Put-in-Bay. 5 stars!

Very clean, large parking area, close to lake and downtown area. Air conditioning was great, nice and cool. Very nice owner. Upstairs unit does have steeper stairs and since it it close to everything there is some noise occasionally. Overall it was awesome and I would stay here again anytime I’m in the area.

Nice place, good house and host

Nice place, very welcoming, only real issue was the host forgot to turn the a.c to a liveable temperature setting, which would of been fine if it wasn't one of the hottest days of the summer. But that was quickly resolved.

The 405

Overall a good stay. Place was very clean, had everything we needed right there. We made breakfast in the morning in the kitchen easily with multiple people in the kitchen. Did run into an issue with the heat but Jeff was very quick to respond and get someone out to help fix it. Good location, close to a lot of places, including Cedar point. Would've liked to see closer to blackout curtains on the windows since the gas station is right outside one of the bedrooms. Overall a wonderful stay, certainly on our list of places to go again for our groups cedar point trips.
