Resort Amenities

The resort features a private sandy beach, three heated pools, and a pirate-themed splash pad. Guests can rent jet skis, paddleboards, or use the marina. Other facilities include tennis courts, sand volleyball, a playground, and nightly bonfires. A water taxi to Cedar Point accommodates up to six people.

Dining & Packages

Location & Attractions

The resort is in Marblehead, Ohio, 1.5 km from Marblehead Lighthouse and 5.5 km from Cedar Point. Nearby attractions include Put-in-Bay, Kelley's Island, and local wineries. The Jet Express ferry to Put-in-Bay departs from Port Clinton, a short drive away.

Services & Activities

Guests can arrange fishing charters, paddleboard rentals, or seasonal dockage. The resort provides sports equipment for tennis, basketball, and shuffleboard. Event spaces include a tent lawn for weddings. Front desk staff assist with water taxi bookings and local recommendations.

“The pirate ship themed splash pad slated to open in 2024 should prove a hit with families, and direct access to a private beach offers convenience. Despite evident wear, outdoor amenities, including multiple pools and bonfires, create a lively atmosphere. If you are traveling with family and keeping an eye on the budget this could be a good option.”
