Calling all millennials: This colorful condo is steeped in 80s nostalgia with features like a vintage Nintendo and TV set, odes to numerous iconic pop artists and a kids only room themed after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Needless to say, it’s also a perfectly family-friendly stay that boasts gorgeous lake views and an in-ground pool, to boot. Bottom line: If you’re looking for an electric retro retreat that’s just a stone’s throw away from Cedar Point and decked out with luxury amenities, this is the place to stay.
2. Luxury Curated Couples Retreat
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 4
- Price: $230/night
- Why We Recommend It: luxury stay, close proximity to attractions, downtown location, couples retreat
This highly-rated guest favorite is the portrait of elegance and class. There’s Chinoiserie artwork, gorgeous flax linen curtains, high-end furniture and swoon worthy luxury bedding. It’s also conveniently located in the heart of downtown Sandusky, where dining and shopping opportunities abound and Cedar Point is a mere three minutes away by car. Based on the glowing reviews and detailed description, I would recommend this property as an elevated couple’s retreat for thrill seekers, though it’s worth noting that it can easily accommodate a small family if you avail yourselves of the rollaway bed and couch.
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 4
- Price: $165/night
- Why We Recommend It: well-appointed, cozy vibes, prime location, remodeled interior
Here, a relatively small, historic home that’s been fully remodeled with modern design touches and all the creature comforts you could want for your stay in Sandusky. The location is ideal for folks who want to ride the roller coasters at Cedar Point, and also for guests who prefer to lounge on the sandy shores of Lake Erie, as the waterfront is a walkable half mile away. In addition to the prime location, this place also gets high praise for being well-stocked with everything you need to truly settle in. File under ‘home away from home.’
4. Country Charm on the Sandusky
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 4
- Price: $128/night
- Why We Recommend It: budget-friendly, close to the city, private
This budget-friendly gem serves up stunning views of the Sandusky river and marina, as well as lake access. It’s also slightly removed from the city center (about 10 minutes away), so it’s a perfect place for guests seeking a relaxing, private retreat. Nevertheless, you’ll be only 35 minutes away from Cedar Point so there’s still plenty of action to be had—assuming you can tear yourself away from the plush, comfortable and well-appointed interior, that is.
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 8
- Price: $549/night
- Why We Recommend It: spacious, has a heated in-ground pound
Another secluded spot, this palatial five-acre property is located 45 minutes away from Cedar Point and 30 minutes away from downtown Cleveland. It’s also absolutely beautiful and boasts a heated in-ground pound so massive you could mistake it for a natural body of water. The sprawling ranch-style home can comfortably accommodate larger groups and the lush natural surroundings, extensive amenities and private location ensure an exceedingly relaxing stay.
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 2
- Price: $103/night
- Why We Recommend It: natural surroundings, private and peaceful retreat, farm-fresh food, cozy accommodations
Located in Amherst, Ohio, this charming rental occupies two acres of bucolic fields and forested land on a working farm. Enjoy farm fresh eggs from the chickens that roam the grounds for breakfast, treat yourself to some seasonal delicacies at the farm’s marketplace for lunch and then sprawl out on the well-kept and quite expansive yard. When you’re ready to call it a day, I suggest you curl up by the stone fireplace or languish on the comfy mid-century furnishings that are perfectly placed throughout the one-bedroom interior. If you’re looking for a combination of country charm and modern amenities that’s just over a half hour away from Cedar Point, this place will check all the boxes.
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 9
- Price: $333/night
- Why We Recommend It: good for large groups, pool access, large outdoor space, lake access
This colorful and spacious nine bedroom Sandusky estate pretty much has it all: a large, semi-private salt water pool with a sprawling deck, a renovated kitchen with top-notch appliances and granite counters, golf carts for touring the expansive grounds, and every other amenity you could think of. The location also provides guests with lake access and is in very close proximity to Cedar Point for those seeking some amusement park fun.

Here, a vibrant and whimsical 1,200 square foot property with enough beds to accommodate a large group of thrill-seeking friends and family members. I love the themed interior design of the apartment, which features colorful artwork depicting various Cedar Point roller coasters; and enthusiastic reviewers describe the place as clean, absolutely beautiful and brimming with amenities. Stay here for a playful and fun rental that’s just minutes away from the theme park itself.
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 4

- Why We Recommend It: prime downtown location, modern decor, luxury amenities, couple’s retreat
This generously-sized boutique hotel room boasts tasteful decor and luxury amenities that include a full-size kitchen, sleek and newly renovated bathroom and plush bedding that will make you swoon. You’d be hard pressed to find a better place to come back to after a full day at Cedar Point—and if you’re not in the mood to cook, you’ll be pleased to know that this rental is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Sandusky where excellent dining choices abound.
10. Bock’s Juke Joint Magical Barn
Airbnb
- Sleeps: 6
- Price: $235/night
- Why We Recommend It: unique stay, spacious interior, whimsical decor, beach access
If you’re looking for a unique experience, this recycled barn will not disappoint. The interior design is whacky, whimsical and positively fun—neon twinkle lights and boldly-colored furniture adorn the airy, light-drenched space—and the location provides guests easy access to the shores of Lake Erie. Indeed, there’s nothing snoozy about this highly rated and oh-so spacious property, which is more like a work of art than an ordinary vacation rental. And by all accounts, the space is wanting for nothing in terms of amenities, too.
