Put-in-Bay Poolview Condo #5

Booking was easy. Most things were supplied with our stay, excepts sheets/towels/hair dryer. Bring extra blankets, the comforter was small, and it was colder in the evening. Bring beach towels for the pool! You WILL need either a golf cart (recommend) or car to get anywhere. You are far from downtown or any stores/bars. At night there are NO lights around the property. Pool is dark and so is the parking lot etc. Felt like a safety concern. If you wanted to walk to Joe's (closest bar) bring flashlights but I would recommend just driving or bike if you have a headlight. I really wish there was an option for Early check-in. Check in at 4:00 PM was late for us and not very convenient. We were there for a sailing competition and needed to be on the Island by 10:00 AM. Management was not on-site, and no option was given to arrive earlier.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for staying with us! We're glad to hear the booking process was easy and that you found many of the essentials provided helpful. We also appreciate you sharing what could have improved your stay. We understand how arriving early for an event like a sailing competition can make a 4:00 PM check-in challenging. While we do our best to accommodate early arrivals when possible, our cleaning schedule during busy times can make it difficult. We’ll certainly take your feedback into account as we review our check-in procedures. Thank you also for noting the lighting concerns around the property—we're sharing this with our team to explore potential improvements. We hope your competition went well and would love the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future!

Everything was absolutely incredible. Other than our TV and coffee pot not working (they attempted to come fix it but was unable to) this place was absolutely amazing and convenient.

We enjoyed condo C5 for our 'get ready for school' weekend in Put-in-Bay! The condo was great for the 3 of us. I will say the 2nd bedroom was a bit snug with the beds close to the walls. The pool was great and not crowded. We also rented a cart at the condo main office.

We had a great time. Renting a golf cart is a must! And a shout out to Camille. We " met" her the first day, and she was so helpful with restaurant ideas and helping us with the golf cart. We had a minor issue with our door, and maintenance was there immediately to fix the problem. We will stay there again, if our travels bring us back to Put in Bay.

We stayed at the condos for 2 nights, with the kids. The golf cart rental being on the same site is super convenient. The condo was clean, and the common areas like the grill, the pool, are very nice as well.
The mattresses were not comfortable at all; but that's a matter of personal preference.
Overall, great price for a spacious condo, vs a hotel room.
The staff is very nice too and if it's your first time on the island, they'll guide you to all the good places.

The property itself was great. We had no issues checking in or out. The beds are not super comfortable, but being a vacation rental I didn't expect it to be. The people staying in the unit next to us smoked a lot of weed inside their unit and we could smell it in our unit, but we weren't in our unit too much so we just dealt with it. Overall we had a good experience and would stay there again!

The Condo was clean and well maintained. The two bedrooms had enough room for our needs. The living room and kitchen were large enough and comfortable. Did not think I would use the washer and dryer but it actually turned out to be a nice amenity which I used quite a bit. The condo was convenient to downtown. The unit looked pretty much like the pictures on the website. Would absolutely recommend to friends as a great place to stay.

Rental property plus is their awesome location. It's right on the lake and people are always there keeping the place clean. One thing that would be better from management stand point is that you can place linens and bedsheets for your pool view rooms also, I understand you mentioned before we booked that you don't provide those, but for the cost we are paying I think it wouldn't be a bad idea and keep them in pool view rooms also. Other than that everything good..

Hi Shrinath, Thank you so much for the review and glad you enjoyed the condo. Since Put-in-Bay has such a small water treatment plant, we try our best to reduce the stress on the system in order to have water pressure for other needs on the island. The best way to do this is by having guests bring their own linens in the poolview condos. I hope you understand! We look forward to having your group stay again in the future!

There was some miscommunication between AirBNB and the property - however both sides were fairly responsive. They forgot we needed sheets as we booked through AirBNB and they gave us the wrong size sheets. Otherwise place was clean. During the day the onsite staff was easy to contact.

The grilling area and the kitchen were the best and roomiest. The condo #5 for 8 was realistic and comfortable. Didn't expect the hefty staircase (#5 and #6) to lug all our supplies - but doable. The "pool-view" was barely that. The pool was fine, but closed at 7pm. The balcony was roomy. The keypad entry was fantastic for all guests coming and going freely. No "WIFI" as advertised and ironically when we called "Dottie" as stated in the instructions for problems - she returned the call saying there was a recent storm which no one in the area witnessed. Also, I read in a previous review there was no WIFI in 2015 either - definitely a $$ concern there - should credit patrons who didn't have. Didn't expect to get woken up by construction right outside our window ( or shall I say drywall - as it was covering the master bedroom window completely). Overall, close to Miller Ferry and golf cart rental and new Muscle Fitness gym. We would definitely stay again - just knowing all this going in - will help others.

My family enjoyed the condo for the weekend. We enjoyed the location. Looking forward to see how the new condos are going to change the property.
Condos were clean overall. But some cleaning in the cracks and crevices would help. Inside the windows for example they r full of dead bugs. That's what my wife noticed as soon as we got there. lol
Also I wish I would have been told sooner about the construction. A chance to cancel or a bit of a refund would have been nice. I was offered another property and it wasn't as nice or at the lakefront.
Will return to see what it will be like without bulldozers and large piles of dirt, temporary fencing and dust.

It was clean. Sliding glass door window needed cleaning. I did it. Walls need a magic eraser and wiped down.
Wish I would have been informed there are no bath mats and absolutely no cleaning products. We had 4 rolls of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels and two garbage bags, small amount of dish soap. Had I known I would have prepared better. Luckily I brought a roll of paper towels, a dish towel, Lysol and Lysol wipes. But that is just me and my cousin and our personal preference for cleanliness.

The experience was satisfactory. I would have preferred: 1) More information on the linens/towels. They were left in an obscure corner of one of the rooms. We did not find the towels until the second day. Sheets were small for the matress and we suggest fitted sheets.
2) I was told we would have first floor accomodations. Instead upon arrival we discovered 2nd floor was where we were located. Not a big deal other than moving in and out. Master Bathroom Shower had a broken handle. The facility was short tiolet paper and, trash bags and paper towels.

Our condo was clean, secure, and the kitchen has plenty of cups, dishes and utensils in the cupboards as well as pots and pans which meant there was no need to eat out the entire stay. There is also an in-suite washer and dryer.

There's a wonderful view of the lake, a pool, and a small pier to fish off.

It is also minutes from Miller's Ferry which made arrival and departure super easy and convenient.

I highly recommend a stay here.

We are a group of women (family & friends) who have been going to Put-in-Bay every year for over 40 years. It has grown from 3 women to 44 women! I believe this year was one of the best times we had!!! We had great customer service. We used the mobile app to ask for more paper towels, garbage bags & toilet paper and they were, as they say, on it! The only "complaint" would be outdoor lighting, there wasn't any. It was really dark when the hard core partiers came back from town. Other than that everyone loved everything about Island Club Rentals!!!

This group of condos is in a lovely location on the island with a pier out to the lake and has a pool. The condo is large, spacious and nicely decorated. The only issue was that sheets and towels are "optional" which we were unaware of, and had to pay $100 extra to get them. Now that we know that, we will bring our own and will definitely stay here again!

4 kids and 4 adults stayed very comfortably at the condos. Condos were clean, spacious and had all the essentials to cook and stay. They are difficult to find because there is no signage - turn on the road right after the airport and keep an eye out for the condos which are tucked in the back at the first left. Other than the difficulty finding the place, everything else was 100 percent wonderful. Pool? View of the lake, working cable tv. Perhaps one of the best places to stay on the island. Suggestions to bring extra trash bags and a scraper/brush to clean off the bar b q. Rent the golf carts for your entire stay. They are a lot of fun and the easiest transportation around the island

We were very pleased with our stay at Put in Bay Condo #5. The condo was in excellent condition and the location was perfect! Only a 3-minute drive from the ferry and about a 5-minute drive from the main downtown area. The only issue we had was the pool wasn't well maintained. It was very dirty during our 3-day stay and when someone finally came out on our last day they were going to have to shock it. But this didn't take away from our great stay. I would definitely recommend these condos to others and we plan to come back next summer!

Island Club is fairly disorganized and somewhat difficult to work with. Was quoted with a price for a holiday weekend, then when booking the reservation, they booked the wrong days, and added about $300 to the price. It took 6+ calls back and forth to get it sorted out. Once we actually got there, it was somewhat difficult to find where the actual condo is, since it's not located near the actual Island Club.

Condos are newly updated, and gorgeous on the inside. The grills were kind of a mess, but still usable.

The condos are close to the ferry and about a 25 min walk to downtown (if you are like us and didn't rent a golf cart or taxi) Highly recommend getting lobster bisque at the Boardwalk, it is fantastic!

Our second stay at this property and we had a balcony condo this time. Lovely to sit outside with coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening. Glad we brought some fold up chairs - a bit more comfortable than the metal chairs provided. Cleaning staff could have done a little more thorough job, and there were a few broken handles in the kitchen. But this is nice quiet location and we will go back again!
