We had the best stay at Tom's condo! It was warm and inviting with a beautiful lake view. We enjoyed the sun room, pool, and lake. The complex is quiet and a very quick walk to the Put-In-Bay ferry and downtown Port Clinton. The bed is also comfy!

Absolutely wonderful stay for my parents 60th Anniversary with their kids and grandkids. Place is beautiful. Plenty of room and the kitchen, towels, etc were so well stocked! It felt like home, especially how clean it was because we are picky! Hosts were so nice! Easy walk downtown to music and restaurants. Highly recommend. My only recommendation is that the front porch needs cleaned off . Would definitely come back!

We are a family of four with two college-aged kids and we had the most wonderful stay at Valerie and Mike’s place for our daughter’s Thanksgiving break from Oberlin! It truly felt like home the moment we walked in. The house is so beautifully designed and cozy—it was just perfect! We even cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner from scratch, thanks to the amazing kitchen that had everything we needed. We’re already excited to come back and make this our new Thanksgiving tradition!

The house is RIGHT on the beach which was great for our family. The kitchen was even better in person and there was a dryer which we weren't sure of based on the listing. Overall it was a great long weekend for the family.

Robin’s Nest-Downtown-Port Clinton, Ohio

DianneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Robin and Dave responded to all communications promptly and efficiently. They provided many suggestions of places to eat and things to do. Check in and check out couldn't have been any easier. Robin's nest is perfectly located to walk to the beach on Lake Erie, and access many good restaurants. For our first airbnb experience ever, we were pleased to stay at Robin's Nest! I think the only thing missing, in my opinion, was a foot stool in the living room to raise one's feet while watching TV. Thanks, Robin and Dave!

Lazy Jack’s Castaway Studio

KatieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place is a diamond! It’s perfect with the kitchen! Made our week stay so comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The owner is very communicative and friendly. Reminds me more of staying with family or friends than a rental. Also, the decorations from the furniture, the bedding and art were all lovely and well thought out. We fished all week, the owner made sure we had what we needed to plug our boat in. She also gave us a great heads up on a private launch and fish cleaning. Our friend came down and also grabbed a room. It was easy, seamless and a deal for what we got! Highly recommend

Your guide to Put-in-Bay

Welcome to Put-in-Bay

Yes, Ohio has islands, and South Bass Island — home to the village of Put-in-Bay — is among them. It’s located north of the mainland in Lake Erie, off the coast between Toledo and Cleveland, and just south of the (invisible) Canadian border that bisects the lake. It’s a compact place — just a few miles end to end, totalling 397 acres. Fewer than 150 people live on the island year-round, and food and mail are delivered by plane in winter. (The waters surrounding it freeze over, so it can also be reached by ATV or snowmobile.) Fun fact: the island has more cemeteries (two) than grocery stores or banks (one of each). No one comes to Put-in-Bay for the edgy excitement. It’s a place to let the summer days slowly overtake you while rousing yourself occasionally to wander the village or mustering enough energy to picnic near the rocky shoreline at South Bass Island State Park.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Put-in-Bay

Put-in-Bay is a summer community, with the high season running from April through October. As a family-friendly destination, it tends to be most crowded when school is out and the weather is at its prime, between June and August. Fall can be lovely, with cool days and blue skies, although rain can sweep in across the lake. Day-trippers provide a daily ebb-and-flow; if you’re planning to stay a few days, it’s advisable to line up reservations for golf carts or bikes prior to arrival. A number of low-key events occur on the island throughout the summer, including a weekly antique car parade and a mid-July Jeep Invasion, when Jeep owners bring over their vehicles for scavenger hunts and other diversions.


Top things to do in Put-in-Bay

Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial

Put-in-Bay’s claim to glory is that it was the base of operations for a fleet overseen by Oliver Hazard Perry during the War of 1812. Perry and his ships lurked behind the Bass Islands one day when the British fleet — based just across the way in Canada — was spotted approaching. Perry commanded his fleet to slip out and hit the British unawares, winning a decisive victory and incapacitating their six ships. This turning point in the war is marked by Perry’s Victory Memorial, a 352-foot-tall pink granite column capped with an 11-ton bronze urn. A ranger stationed on-site points out highlights of the region and the location of the historic battle.

South Bass Island State Park

This small state-run park is a popular spot to lounge on summer days, with a large herd of picnic tables and a small-stone beach for swimming. It’s perfect for an afternoon picnic, and to wander the grounds and seek out the melancholy ruins of the foundations of the Hotel Victory, which was considered one of the largest and most glamorous hotels in the nation when it opened in 1892.

The Butterfly House

The 4,000-square-foot butterfly house opened in 2004 and is home to some 50 species of butterflies from around the globe, many of them extravagantly colored and patterned. Spend some time studying the identification chart, and then see how many species you can locate when wandering through the aviary.
