Ohio Shores Vacation Rentals

“The location was perfect walking distance to activities downtown. The apartment was moderately clean. Listing states availability to a pool but it requires a code that’s not given. Nick never responded to any questions I had regarding the rental to include the pool.”

“The front porch light was out which made it hard to find. The door is in the back which is fine but we weren’t told that. It looked like it had been purposely turned into retro and in ways it has, but in others it’s just not been renovated or properly cleaned. The smell of must and mold were overpowering and I had to use my inhaler multiple times.”

“There was a lack of paper towels and garbage bags.”

“We loved the house. Well stocked kitchen for our group that likes to cook. Great porch looking out at the lake. Beds were comfy. House was super clean. Stairs down to the lake and concrete patio down at the lower level was nice but we didn’t spend any time down there. Not sure you can swim there but we didn’t try. The cushions on the porch were soaking wet from the rain storm the day before we arrived but they dried out in the sun. The chairs and dining area were comfortable too. Very well stocked kitchen including appliances. We took out the trash as directed on the last day, but super bummed there was not a bin for recycling, only trash. One of us brought it home to be recycled. Other than that everything was great. One other item. Check out should be 11:00 or noon at the very least. If they had more than one person cleaning, it wouldn’t take 6 hours.”

“Cute home with lots of potential but attention to detail was lacking. There was no air conditioning running on arrival and it was 81deg when we walked in. The filter on the AC unit in the bedroom was full of dust not allowing air to flow. Once we cleaned the filter it was able to circulate and blow cool air. The shower head is halfway hanging out of the wall and leaks and there are cob webs on the ceiling in the bathroom. We loved the vintage decor and the hot tub was nice and pre warmed. Just some minor details need addressed.”

“My experience at this Airbnb was extremely disappointing. I drove all the way from South Carolina expecting a comfortable stay only to arrive and find there was no hot water and no usable water to shower at all. This made the property unsuitable and very inconvenient. When i contacted the host to address the issue instead of being understanding or professional the host responded rudely and stated "I do not feel comfortable with you in my house and wanted me out. which was unnecessary disrespectful and unprofessional given that i was simply reporting a SERIOUS problem with the property. A host should be willing to address legitimate concerns respectfully and work toward a solution. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Due to poor communication lack of professionalism and unresolved issues with basic necessities i would not recommend this Airbnb to others”

“Nick was quick to respond during booking when I asked him to clarify conflicting rules regarding pets. Pets were allowed. Really nice looking house, great park and playground 2 blocks away. Quick drive to Cedar Point. In the hallway during check-in, I could hear a loud grinding noise. Upon opening the door to our room, we discovered it’s emanating from the HVAC vent in our room. I sent a video to Nick right away to let him know but he never responded during the stay. We had to manually set the HVAC fan speed to low and close the bedroom pocket door so it was quiet enough to sleep at night. Also, bathroom sink faucet was completely detached from countertop. Again, no response when I told him. It did still work at least. Overall, this could be an amazing Airbnb but it definitely needs a few quality control checks.”

“Positives: The place was cute and in a great area. It was walkable to almost everything we wanted to do. Negatives: When we walked in, the vents were making a loud humming / knocking sound. We were able to get it to stop by turning off the AC/Heat. Luckily the weather didn’t require us using either during our stay. The baseboards were dirty with dust and hair, and the linens had dog hair on them. It smelled a bit like dog. There’s was also a large, smashed spider on the bathroom wall that nobody cleaned up. There was also hair in the shower drain.”

“Initially booked the room and was put in a completely different one. Was told we could move into the room we booked on another day. Got into the initial incorrect room and immediately noticed issues. Sink in the bathroom was messed up. Stains in the sink as well. Did not feel comfortable using the towels either as they did not appear to be clean. Also had stains on furniture. Definitely would not recommend staying here.”

“The place is in a good location, walkable to downtown/waterfront. It was clean and as described for the most part. Minimally stocked - if you want something its safer to bring yourself. We never received check in instructions and the host was non responsive to texting, calling or messages through the airbnb app. Luckily one of the numbers we found went to the rental company - they took care of us right away - but we were still late getting checked in due to it. Overall decent, nothing overly impressive but it was in a good location. Would stay again if needed.”
