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.

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.
