    The unit was clean & spacious. The hosts were exceptional in making us feel comfortable. We had a balcony which looked out over the park & the marina. The location was right in the center of everything, including restaurants. They rent golf carts too & guests get a discount. We got the impression that it is under new management. When I called with questions or went to the desk, staff were always pleasant & helpful. The hotel is located next to a restaurant/bar but there are quiet hours. The rooms are private entrance & the upper floor requires a key card. Despite just opening for the season, our room was ready. -We actually forgot check-in time but our room happened to be ready early.

    We love everything about Castaway! We go a couple times a year now. All the staff are great! There are so many activities for the kids to do all throughout the hotel. The waterpark is very clean, super kid friendly, and very on top of safety! The lifeguards are beyond great! They are always on the lookout watching every single kid that enters the waterpark. Our favorite destination as a family.

    I loved the units accomodations, the staff and the location. Beds are comfortable and plentiful, linens are soft with the added bonus of a washer and dryer if you like to know they are clean. The view from all of the balconies is relaxing however you are in a multi unit facility on south bass Island so you neighbors may be a be spirited 😉.

    I was there far too briefly to be able to say anything useful. I arrived about 9:00 p.m. and left the next morning at 7 a.m. I didn't see much of the town, except in the dark. I was happy that the grocery store was open late, because I had not eaten when I arrived.

    Port Clinton is the kind of Lake Town you are hoping for with a young family. The atmosphere was relaxed, and people were friendly. There is a great playground for the kids near City Beach and plenty of restaurants to choose from. City layout isn't very complicated and most if not everything to do in the town is always just 5-10 minutes from everything else. Lake Erie is a great body of water and pretty clean to boot. We went the weekend before Labor Day and there were a couple of nights where live music was being played during a pub-crawl sort of deal. Things weren't too rowdy, and we never felt unsafe walking about.

    The ferry over was convenient and then once on the island there were several golf cart rental businesses within walking distance. Of course there were plenty of bars and restaurants and night life. Also, there were other things to do like visit the Perry monument, they had the Monarch festival, a winery to taste wine and relax. We also toured the island on a golf cart. There were other things to also do, but we were only there two days.

    Enjoyed staying directly on Lake Michigan in a small community (Ernie is in a nursing home according to the ladies at the coffee shop, sorry I was eavesdropping). The tour of the lighthouse was interesting as well as the beautiful location away for the normal tourist traps.

    My family has vacationed at Kelleys for 40 years.

    My family has vacationed at Kelleys for 40 years. It is family friendly with lots to do. I have never experienced any trouble on the Island. It's not cheap to rent a house there, plus you have the cost of the ferry, and you will want a golf cart. However, you could have a lower-cost vacation there if you park at the ferry and take bikes and backpacks over. You could also stay at the campground, which is fun and there is a beach right there.

    My friend came all the way from England to go to Cedar Point (he's a theme park enthusiast). While I won't speak for him, as an American, I was very disappointed with the park. $35 for parking a DAY (we did three days total) and we queued for 3 HOURS for Top Thrill 2. Between the fast pass people coming in and the ride being delayed/broken down, it was not worth the wait. I've never been to an amusement park where so many rides broke down/were delayed. This park was literally not worth the visit without a fast pass because the queues were so long otherwise. Also, almost all the queues had a spot exposed to the sun (even though the rest was shaded and some had misting fans; why wouldn't you shade the whole queue?!) so the heat was unbearable in certain parts. I don't think I'll be going back to Cedar Point.

    We like the Port Clinton area, close to Island hopping, restaurants and beaches. Sad to see the decline in the downtown stores, some only open Thursday-Saturday, did not get to shop. Hope the hotel revives the bar and restaurant.

    Nice and relaxing vacation spot.

    Nice and relaxing vacation spot. Rather expensive, but you have to expect that -- especially on an island where nearly everything is shipped in. There's much more to see and do than visit bars if you take the time to investigate. Goat Soup and Whisky is an excellent restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The swim-up-to bars are always refreshing on a hot day.
