Sandusky, Ohio: Family-Friendly Town with Amusement Parks Along Lake Erie
The town of Sandusky lies on the shores of Lake Erie, about midway between Cleveland and Toledo. It's a family-friendly destination with a slew of theme parks and scenic coastal islands. Cedar Point, open May through October, is one of the oldest amusement parks in the United States and a must-do for thrill seekers. The park’s Millennium Force roller coaster set records as the tallest and fastest in the world when it was introduced in 2000. More recently, the GateKeeper scooped up seven world records when it opened in 2013, including the "longest drop on a wing coaster."
If you prefer a slower pace, visit Sandusky’s former post office, which has been transformed into the Merry-Go-Round Museum. The grand building is full of antique carousels of all shapes and sizes, restored to their original splendor; it’s also rumored to house a couple of ghosts. More spooky fun awaits at Ghostly Manor Thrill Center, which features a haunted house, a roller rink, a 4D theater, black-light mini golf, and bounce houses.

The room was typical, no refrigerator, beds were mediocre, but the staff was friendly and helpful. We kayaked our on the bay and got stuck in a storm. Another property on the shore was helpful and got us back to the resort. The whole community seemed very kind. The resort itself was clean, it was not overcrowded, and it was full of things to do.

Checked in ....Check out The cottage we rented was not at all like the website NOT EVEN CLOSE. It was awful. When we first arrived I went into the hotel that sits in front of the cottages and thought that is where we checked in. No staff was in the lobby and went to look for someone to ask and found a very rude person working in a small dinning area that did fortunately direct me where the office was. To be honest what little I saw of this hotel should have also been the first "red flag" warning of what was yet to come.
Another "red flag" after arriving we were told we were the only ones there (and there were many cottages in a row on the property).
After stepping in the cottage that was shown to us by the owner, it was
dirty, smelled, very very run down and again not all what is shown on the website. I know cetain websites do not always show what is the actual reality of places but this was not even close.
Right away after seeing the cottage I complained and we were shown a "Villa". This was not much better. My husband I were so upset with this after traveling hours, we went to try to find other lodging in the area but could not. Our mistake was not asking to see the cottage first BEFORE checking in and paying the balance due.
We came back ask for our money back and were given our check back. Not our deposit back. Warning...the owner wants a check not cc. I should have taken the advice from other Trip Adviser complaints and not gone there.
We have called twice and requested a refund of our deposit since there were no other reservations so it was not like they were holding a place for us.
No one ever answer the phone. You leave a message and no one calls you back. I did see the view of the lake from a distance, it appeared to be nice but we never got down that far to see it up close.

Buyer beware Dirty and smelled of vomit. Paper thin walls where you could hear others conversations clearly and a crying baby kept one of our group up all night. Terrible customer service. Owner refused to give us a refund for an unacceptable and unused room.
