We came to Sandusky for a baseball tournament and have been visiting for the past three years. Our teams will continue to come, so I was hoping to find a rental we could return to each year. When I booked this home, I thought it might be the perfect fit.The house itself is in excellent condition—very clean, comfortable beds, and a nice amount of space to relax after long days at the ball fields. It was such a welcome change from staying in cramped hotel rooms.However, when we arrived, we were immediately hit with a very strong smell of cigarette smoke as soon as we entered. It was overwhelming. We unloaded our things and left shortly after, but the smell lingered—I could smell it in my hair, and even my kids commented on it right away.We contacted the host, who was genuinely surprised and stated that the home is non-smoking. He came over to change the air filter and tried to help, which we appreciated, but unfortunately it didn’t solve the issue.Because of the strong smoke odor, we won’t be returning to this rental. It was a big disappointment, especially since the property itself was otherwise great. Hopefully this issue can be fully resolved for future guests.
