The Story of The Bashful Mermaid
Welcome to The Bashful Mermaid! This renovated and spacious historic property is considered one of the jewels of Port Clinton, Ohio. For over the last 35 years. The Bashful Mermaid has welcomed families, friends, charter fishing groups, birders, and small and large groups from all over the world who visit the Port Clinton area. Offering every guest the use of a well-equipped kitchen, spacious living and dining spaces, large bedrooms with comfortable beds and linens, a large covered front porch appointed with seating, and a large outdoor deck… it’s become the spot to be for that first cup of coffee in the morning as well as late-night gatherings. It is a wonderful spot to drink in the sounds and smells of Lake Erie. In addition to the views of Lake Erie, the Lighthouse, the large flower gardens, and open green space, the Mermaid is centrally located to downtown Port Clinton. We are close to the Jet Express, a short drive to Catawba Island, as well as Lakeside and Cedar Point. Coming back to the Mermaid after a beautiful day of exploring is just like coming home.
**Daily, Weekly, Monthly Rentals Available. 1 night minimum stay. Sleep Max is 6*.
