Help
Answers for our vacation rentals. Each hotel’s own site has its full policies.
It’s simpler. You deal with the same local team that cleans, maintains and answers for the home, from booking to checkout. No middleman passing messages back and forth, and one place for your confirmation, door code and any questions during your stay.
A vacation home is the whole house for your group. A boutique inn is a private suite with its own entrance and kitchen inside a smaller, character-filled building, some historic and some newly renovated. A city apartment is a furnished downtown Columbus apartment, good for work trips and longer stays.
Go to Hotels & Inns and pick the property. Kelleys Island and Put-in-Bay book on each resort’s own site; the Sandusky inns and Quality Lodge book through our rental search.
Yes. Use the group inquiry form, call 419-413-8270 or email [email protected], and we’ll build a room block or match you with large group homes.
Yes. Use the Pet friendly filter in the search to see the homes that allow pets. Pet rules are listed on each home.
For our vacation homes, condos, inns and city apartments, check-in is 4 PM and checkout is 10 AM. Hotels and resorts list their times on their own sites.
Often, yes, for an extra charge. Before your stay, you’ll get an email or text message with early check-in and late checkout options when they’re available for your dates. Just tap to add it. Availability depends on whether other guests are arriving or leaving the same day.
At 1 PM on the day you arrive, by email or through the site you booked on. They include your door code, parking, Wi-Fi and anything specific to your home or suite.
Most of our stays are keyless self check-in: use your door code and go straight in. That includes every vacation home and condo, The Washington, Quality Lodge and our Columbus apartments. Kelleys Island Venture Resort and Bayshore Resort check you in at the front desk in season, and switch to self check-in during the off season. Your confirmation tells you which applies.
Leave by 10 AM, lock up and follow the short checkout list in your home, like starting the dishwasher and taking out the trash. No need to strip beds unless the list says so. At the resorts in season, just drop your key at the front desk.
No problem. Self check-in works any time after 4 PM. Heading to Kelleys Island or Put-in-Bay? Check the ferry schedule first: the last boats leave earlier than you’d think, especially outside summer, and you can’t reach the island once they stop running. See ferry times in our town guide. If you’re staying at Kelleys Island Venture Resort or Bayshore in season, also let the resort know your arrival time.
Email [email protected]: it’s the fastest way to get a response. For emergencies during your stay, like a leak, no heat, a lockout or a safety issue, call our maintenance line at 419-413-8270. For anything life-threatening, call 911 first.
