Thank you for the wonderful review! We're glad the location was perfect for your family visit and that you enjoyed being within walking distance of downtown Vermilion. We really appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back!
If you want the best location in Vermilion, look no further!!! Steps from the beach (about 2 min walk, even with a toddler in tow!), right above all the shops and restaurants you could ever want… it was truly a treasure to get to stay at this sweet spot! Mike, the host was kind, timely and attentive to our questions and needs. The space was very VERY clean (especially for being in a sandy beach town!) and was tastefully decorated with gorgeous prints of Harbourside. The space while somewhat on the smaller side, felt very well planned out to still give space to put your luggage and unpack. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook and eat in, although we chose to enjoy the local cuisine instead! They even had kiddy plates and cups which my 2 year old loved! The only thing I’ll say is make sure to bring your own beach towels as there are non currently offered on property, only bath towels but they do have a washer and dryer which makes it simple to bring your own for the beach. Overall, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay and we look very forward to coming back again soon. Thanks Mike!
