ENTIRE UNIT: Charming Century Home in Harbour town

Charming century home located in the historic Harbourtown neighborhood of Vermilion OH. Minutes from downtown restaurants, shops, bars, & beach. Bikes included so you can enjoy the quick ride to downtown through the quiet neighborhood. Entire 1st floor unit of home which includes a fully-stocked kitchen, front porch, backyard, two bedrooms, & large living & dining space- all yours to feel at home. Free Wi-Fi. Free Coffee (including decaf and tea) & Snacks. Two TVs w/ Amazon fire stick.

Your beautiful living space is the first floor unit of a charming, 1920s Victorian-style home that is also listed on the Vermilion Historic Register. This area of Harbourtown is historically where many fish shanties and the homes of town fisherman once stood. Today, it is located in the heart of Vermilion, but also the heart of Northern Ohio's, Lake Erie Vacationland.


WHERE YOU'LL BE:
Walk just a few minutes to Main Street Beach to enjoy a beach day with the family while taking in the amazing lake views, picturesque Vermilion lighthouse, and stone boardwalk down the river.

Rent a kayak or paddleboard at the close by West River Paddling Company on the Vermilion River and explore the peaceful and meandering Vermilion River.

Rent a boat or jet ski at Vermilion Marina or Vermilion Jet Ski and enjoy beautiful Lake Erie, whether it's fishing, swimming, or relaxing. Take advantage of our very large driveway and close Vermilion boat ramp if you have your own boat or watercraft.

Set out on a Fishing Charter boat from the Vermilion river to Lake Erie to hook and bring home some delicious Lake Erie Perch and Walleye!

Enjoy a scenic river cruise on the Mystic Belle with your own tour guide.

Catch a round of golf at the nearby Willow Creek Golf course.

Wind down the day and get some delicious food and a cold beverage at the many nearby downtown restaurants, bars, or local wineries.

Find all the amusement and thrill you can experience in a day with a short 25 minute drive to Cedar Point Amusement Park or Kalahari Water Park.

See the great city of Cleveland with downtown being only 40 minutes away!

The possibilities are endless and we’re at the heart of it all and here to host your Northern Ohio vacation!

YOUR SPACE:
As you go on your adventures, your wonderful home base includes all of the following:
- Fully stocked kitchen so you have the option to stop at the local grocery store and fix a home-cooked meal for the family
- Free coffee (including decaf and tea) and snacks to get you going on your mornings
- Stylish living room featuring a 55-inch flat screen TV and Amazon firestick to binge your favorite shows
-Large and inviting dining space to gather and eat as a family or group
- A dedicated workspace with a printer for your business and work needs.
- Beautiful master bedroom with closet space and it's own flat screen TV and firestick
- Second bedroom with bunkbeds that can be fun for the kids but can also be a practical bedroom for adult guests.
- 1 full bathroom stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, make-up remover wipes, and all necessary linens
- Classic to the Victorian style, a large front porch to enjoy your morning coffee or to wind down in the evening after a long day.
- A large, quiet backyard to enjoy the outdoors including a fire pit and chairs for the evening!
- A shed that houses your free bikes is also accessible for those who want to ride around the quiet neighborhood or into town


THINGS TO NOTE:
This vacation home is a duplex, and in the top unit is a quiet, long term tenant. The duplex is set up to where you will have completely private and segregated access to the front porch and entire first floor via the front door. The top tenant has access to the top unit only through a stairwell on the side of the house and does not have a key or password to the VRBO. The tenant will occasionally do laundry in the separate, outdoor access basement as well.

Your free parking is the whole driveway along the entire right side of the house. There is room for 4 cars, OR a car and a boat! This driveway is shared with the house next door but we own about 2/3rds of it so don't worry too much about snugging up your car right against the house. The quiet, long term tenant parks in front of the house all the way to the left.

We listed the amount this VRBO can sleep as 7, however, there is also a trundle bed underneath the bunk bed, as well as a pull-out single sleeper in the master bedroom that folds up like a chair. These would be comfortable for a small child but not practical for an adult, which is why we kept the sleep count at 7. However, if you are booking with many kids, the sleep count could be increased to 9 if the two sleeping in these beds were small children.

Charming Century Home!
The front porch is very inviting and the space inside is very cozy. The main bedroom is also peaceful and the bed was comfy. The property is about a half mile to the downtown main street. We enjoyed our stroll down to the nearby attractions.

Solid Property
Great location, with walking distance to all the downtown shops easy. That was the reason we rented it. AC units were great….allowed each sleeping room to set own temp. Biggest issue was the kitchen…very few dishes to serve full dinners. Only like 3 big plates and four bowls. Could have used more dishware. One bathroom also a challenge with 2 teenage daughters and a wife. That said…was a good place to stay.

Clean Comfortable Home
Host Aaron & Rebecca were quick to respond to all communications with us. They were very accommodating. Coffee station was set up nicely and had everything we needed to start our day. They even provided a wonderful bakery treat upon our arrival. The neighborhood was nice and we felt very safe. We had 2 small dogs and ran into many neighbors in our daily dog walks. We visit this area yearly to visit family and will stay again if home is available.

Harbourtown comfort
This is a beautiful home in the Harbourtown portion of Vermilion and makes for a very comfortable base while visiting Vermilion. Everything was clean and in order, all the explanations were clear so it was easy to plug into Wi-Fi and a comfortable setting. We had no disappointments, totally enjoyed our stay and plan to come back again.

Nightmare
The house was mispresented. It was filthy. The one tub/shower did not drain. It was slippery and full of water with a 5 min shower. It took an hr to drain. Owner was called and said it would be looked into. Bees were getting into the home from the side siding and were swarming around. The mattresses were terrible. It was not a good stay. I would not recommend staying here until repairs and new mattesses.

Loved this property was perfect location for us and the layout was great for us with little kids! (Kids room at back of house so weren’t woken up by us watching tv etc in the front).

Summertime at the Lake
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, clean unit. It is easy walking distance, 4-5 blocks, from downtown Vermilion, and just another block to the beach. It is in a quiet part of town so it was very relaxing - just what we were looking for. There are several nice restaurants nearby, including some that are good for kids.

Love this home!
This is a charming house with well-preserved historic features. The original hardwood floors are gleaming, and every room was neat and tidy. The furniture and decor is newer and fresh with a young vibe that honors the nautical history of Lake Erie. Each air conditioning unit worked well to regulate the bedrooms and common area to our preferred temperatures. We liked the ceramic coffee mugs and choice of using the drip or Keurig coffee makers. There was a nice welcome basket of snacks upon arrival, and many needed supplies were provided. The location was great for us to tour Vermillion or head out to Cedar Point for the day! Communication with the owners was quick, concise and pleasant. We highly recommend this lovely home (and hope to be back one day)!
