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.

We had a very nice stay. The house was clean and comfortable. Check in Was very easy, communication was great. We were able to walk to Main Street Beach, and to dinner downtown. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed for a weekend and really enjoyed the rental. It was super clean and the hosts were very attentive and made sure we were happy. Vermillion is a quaint town the location is perfect!
This was a short weekend away for us, and the property was perfect! Very walkable location, didn't need to use the car at all. Super cute property, full kitchen, everything you need for a great stay.
This location was perfect for my family. We took our two children 2 and 6 to lake erie for the first time. This house was a prefect place for us and allowed us to enjoy the beach and the town very easily. I would highly recommend!
This has been a wonderful property for us to visit family in town. Clean, comfortable and we can bring our greyhound.
The location is close enough to walk into town
This was a perfect place to if you are wanting to fish Lake Erie. Few blocks from the boat launch, plenty of room for truck and boat parking , and close to eateries.
Hi Kelly, we're happy to hear you found our home clean, cute, and lovely! We pride ourselves on bringing that to our guests! And glad you liked the added bonus of the location as much as we do! We'll be here for you if you ever visit Vermilion again. Best, Aaron and Rebecca

Thanks so much for the positive review Abigail. We're so happy you found the house nice, check-in easy, and enjoyed the coffee and snacks! Come back and see us again! Best, Aaron and Rebecca
It was absolute wonderful. I actually grew up right around the corner from this home. It was great telling my grandchild all about the area. The home was very beautiful and had every we needed.
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.
Great place in a quiet neighborhood. Just a short walk/ drive to the beach and restaurants/ shops! Aaron and Rebecca were wonderful, very responsive to inquires!

Hi Denise, thanks so much for the kind words and trusting us with your stay while visiting Vermilion. We’re glad you enjoyed the neighborhood and great location as much as we do! Come see us again! Best, Aaron and Rebecca
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.
The house was in perfect location. Within walking distance to downtown activities and restaurants. The house was comfortable for our family. Everything was as described by the homeowners. We definitely would recommend this home!
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.

About the host
Hosted by Aaron and Rebecca
Hi, Aaron is currently active duty military in the US Coast Guard. Rebecca cares for our three beautiful children full time. We also both love to invest in real estate and host for VRBO! We enjoy travel but also love our hometown of Vermilion, OH where we both grew up and met. We love providing our guests an exceptional experience while sharing our Airbnb and great hometown area with others!
Why they chose this property
This property was our first purchase in our hometown of Vermilion. We partnered with Rebecca's parents to own this amazing piece of property in the most desirable neighborhood of Vermilion. This part of Vermilion has always been special to our families and we wanted to be able to share it with others. We look forward to personally enjoying this home when not booked and perhaps one day passing it on to our children.
What makes this property unique
A family friend owned this property before we did which gave us a special connection to this home. Immediately when walking in, you see the history of this century home when walking over the 100 year-old, original hardwood flooring. We have letters from the daughter of the original homeowner who built his home here and who also was an amazing citizen of Vermilion. As lovers of history, this created special meaning in the home to us. The old Victorian- style, original hardwood floors, big front porch, and historic place in its neighborhood attracted us to this home-- not to mention, being so close to the Lake and everything in downtown Vermilion. It is our hope that it will bring you as much happiness as it has brought us.
