Sorrell Family Get Away ~ Fredericktown OH

Our family of 5 just returned from a wonderful long weekend as summer comes to a close. Lorain was fabulous; helpful with every detail. The condo itself was great, well kept and stocked with little things beyond the basics. Nice little touches to make the stay more enjoyable. The nightly rate as compared to the view is a STEAL! Not to mention the convenience of the property with children. (Great beach, pool, play/swing area) Even the other complex property owners were exceptionally nice. Overall our experience was exceptional and plan to utilize the property again next year........that is of course if Lorain will have us after our 10 month old played hide and seek with a few of the decorative items.
Owner response: Thank you, Sheryl, for a wonderful review and for leaving the Condo in great shape. I hope to see you next year, your little one didn't hurt anything. Larain

Great Anniversary Getaway

We stayed to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and what a wonderful, relaxing long weekend! We've been to the area several times and this was by far the best. Very good value considering nearby hotels charging nearly the same only without the spectacular views and having your own "home". We will definitely be back. Larain does a wonderful job of communicating and making sure everything you need is available and that you have a pleasant stay. The condo is in excellent condition, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all that you need. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! Thanks Larain! Hope to be back next year!
Owner response: Thank you, Pam, for such a great review. I am so glad you had a wonderful and relaxing anniversary at my Condo and Lake Erie. I can't wait to see you in the near future.

Thanks Larain for the beautiful setting to enjoy a needed family get away. Great neighbors, fantastic views and good food--all add up to a great time. Suggest guests get to Put-in Bay via Miller Ferry--a little longer trip but a better value. Enjoy the rest of the summer it has to cool down sometime--We hope to come back again. Mahr family

Our Wedding weekend was fantastic

What a great week on the lake! I recently stayed a week at this condo with my new husband, sister and her family. We were all born in raised in Port Clinton but wanted to eliminate stress on the parent by staying at there houses, so we rented this condo. It was in a great location. Did I mention I was visiting for my wedding! We were able to all gather here to get ready and take time by the pool to relax. I have never felt like I was in such a vacation spot and I grew up here my whole life. Larain made things very easy and the accommodations were as promised. The pool was fantastic and for a weekend in July was much needed. We had a little trouble getting wi-fi and had to contact management and it was difficult to give to children baths due to a seal on the tub that was broken, but it was manageable. As a warning be careful walking down the little flight of stairs by the doorway we had 3 family members fall (including myself the day before the wedding and had to seek medical treatment) down them. They get very slick. These minor problems will not hinder us from returning. We had a great time, loved the view, and will return for another visit to see family. Thank you Larain and family for sharing your space with us!
Owner response: Sarah,
I
am so glad you and your family had a great time. Sorry about the bath
tub seal or stopper? I wish you had called my cell # (posted on
refrigerator) as it would of been fixed immediately. 1st complaint in
18yrs about the steps, will contact management
.
I am looking forward to your future visits.
Thanks,
Larain

Excellent choice

Date of Stay: 07/05/10 Review Submitted: 07/21/10
We stayed for three nights in early July. We were very pleased with the condo. It is nicely furnished, roomy, comfortable and exceptionally clean. It easily accommodated two adults and two teens. The view of Lake Erie is outstanding. The location is convenient (within walking distance) to restaurants and shops in downtown Port Clinton. The pool, beach and grounds were very nice, and the people in the complex were very friendly. It's a very nice, tranquil resort atmosphere. You can really relax here. This was a great choice, and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially those with families. We look forward to staying again.

My husband and I stayed at the Harbor Side Condo this summer, and we could not have asked for a better location. It was our anniversary, and we wanted to stay close to the water in a clean and friendly environment. Larain made our stay wonderful. The condo was clean, and perfectly decorated with Island Paradise flair. The fieplace, and Harbor room added a nice touch to the Condo. You could sit and watch the boats pass by. Or take a dip in the pool or beach across the street. Plenty of linen and beach towels provided. the kitchen has everything a cook would need to prepare a meal. Only minutes from entertainment and Jet express. We danced the night away at Mon-Ami winery. We plan to visit again soon when another romantic getaway is needed!

We had a girl's getaway in October and the condo was perfect. It is close to everything, clean and quiet. We would love to rent again...maybe in the summer next time to take advantage of the pool. Highly Recommended.

Thanks again for everything, Larain! Your place was very nice, clean, and well taken care of. Sleeping right next to the lake,(literally) was one of my favorite parts of our trip. We really enjoyed our stay, and would recommend your condo as a great place to stay!

We stayed at this condo in June 2008. I really enjoyed being right on the water. It was clean and well kept. I also enjoyed the pool very much, I think it has been redone since the picture was taken. We had good weather too!!

Thanks so much for the rental of your condo... I so enjoyed sleeping next to the water every night..watching the shore birds, boats, waves along with Sunset & the glowof sunrise made this location a must for the shore of Lake Erie. The condo was clean, inviting and an ideal location on the lake. I can't wait to come up this winter to see and hear Lake Erie's winter sounds. Thanks again for your communication thru this whole rental contract. Sincerely Kathryn Clark Port Clinton Yacht Club Member Parma , Ohio

Dear Larain, Our stay in your condo was so relaxing. So clean and nicely decorated. It just doesn't get any better than sleeping in the Harbor Room with the windows open and listening to the waves. We loved being able to walk to the Festival on Madison Street on Saturday evening. Weather was perfect for using the beach & pool. A GREAT place to stay. Hope we can come back. Thanks. Also, a big thank you to Bill for his help.

Dear Larain, My family and I would like to thank you for providing such a charming and wonderful place for us to stay while vacationing in my "old home town" for our family and my PCHS reunions. Our bedroom was literally 25' from Lake Erie. Our two children loved the pool and beach. I enjoyed the 2nd story view of the lake and Put-in-Bay. The surrounding were quiet. We were comfortable all ten days. I would recommend your condo to friends. Thank you again. Sincerely, Daryl Muncey

We were very pleased with the location. Right on the water - the sound of the waves is so calming. I could see that the owner takes pride in ownership. Very generous with supplies and you feel like you are right at home. Would have liked a queen or king bed, but we made do. Enjoyed all the local activities and the fact that you can walk to bars, restaurants, and the ferry. Had a wonderful day at Put-in-Bay. Thanks Larain.
Owner response: Hi John,
Thank you for your kind words on VRBO so others can read.
John, I thought you knew that the daybed pulled out into a King
Bed. I'm so sorry you didn't know, but it was stated in the VRBO ad.
Next year we are replacing the bunk beds with a Queen bed and a TV
in that room. I'm also replacing the couch with a sofa bed.
We hope to see you next year. Have a wonderful rest of the summer.
Thanks again,
Larain

Had a great time. Very clean, well decorated condo. So nice that you are right on the water. So many others are well off the water or across Lakeshore Drive from the water, but yours couldn't get closer unless you were on a boat. So much to do so close to your condo. Walking distance to everything. Thanks soooo much for making my vacation a wonderful one. In the words of Arnold S. "I'll be back." Bill Bill Pittsburgh, Pa.
