Enjoy our family's home located in historic Harbour Town for your family's summer getaway. This cozy home offers plenty of space for a large family vacation. New bedding throughout will offer a good nights sleep after your busy summer days. A walk to the beach, fishing on a Lake Erie charter boat, a trip to Cedar Point, or visit to Paper Moon Winery are all close by options to the home to plan your vacation day. Relax with your coffee by the fireplace or outside under the pergola in the private fenced in backyard as you plan your day or tell stories from the day before. Take a 10 minute walk to downtown Vermilion to enjoy the many restaurants and live music during the summer "Third Thursday" events to experience a small town summer atmosphere at its finest. Use the fully equipped spacious kitchen and dining room table to cook large family meals or use the grill and eat al fresco. Bikes are included and available for Mom, Dad, and four kids for rides to the candy shop or bakery. This is a great home and in a great spot. We hope your family enjoys this home as much as we do. You're sure to create fun family memories as you live "In Between Dreams"!
We stayed here for a bachelor party. It was a great place to stay between Cedar point and the city of Cleveland. The beach and neighborhoods were also nice and the towns people were really friendly.
Marty and his wife are very welcoming and gracious hosts. They even let us check in a little early when we arrived in Vermilion with tired and antsy children. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty to keep young and old alike entertained. Also, we arrived to find a courtesy starter pack of essentials that included coffee. The bedroom with the bunk beds includes a cubbyhole hideout that our older ones loved. The laundry room was one of my wifeâs dreams come true. Five stars all the way.
We had a wonderful time at Marty and Bridgetâs place. My husband and I and 2 adult kids stayed in the house. Our daughter, husband and 5 kids under 12 stayed nearby. They really enjoyed visiting our house and spent a lot of time there, so many kid activities, good for a rainy day too. The garage and yard are also spacious with games, a bar, fire pit, and nice fenced yard. The kitchen was well equipped along with the house. There was plenty of room for additional people. We enjoyed the nearby beach by the lighthouse. We spent a lot of time there as well with the grandkids. The downtown has fun shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the ice cream shop too. One of our grandsons caught a large mouth bass, that was exciting! We will be back. Great stay! Thank you
Great location and it had plenty of room. Communication with host was great!! We stayed there over thanksgiving and she put out some fall deco and a pencil Christmas tree. Such a nice touch to make our stay special!!
Marty and Bridget are amazing hosts and their house is amazing! I wish we stayed longer. The amenities are outstanding, the location is perfect, itâs clean, well stocked and lots of fun things to do!
We will be back!!
We stayed here in vermilion for the first time with some extended family. Short walk to the beach and downtown. We LOVED the fenced in yard and play set for the kids as well as all the extra games and things in the garage. The house was great to accommodate all of us and plenty of space to spread out. We will be back!
The house wonderful and my family enjoyed the amenities inside of the house. Great location to the beach and downtown area.
We plan on visiting again. Our host was amazing answering my questions. Beautiful home and one of the better vacations Iâve had.
Bridget was such a wonderful host - she even decorated the home for us to spend our Christmas there! Beds super comfy and we loved all the games, puzzles, and acrcade games. We will stay again when we come back to visit our family that lives locally!
I absolutely loved this lovely home away from home! The owners were extremely responsive and answered any questions we had. The whole space was set up for family time together. From the fire pit and pergola out back to the library and game room, there was so much to entertain. It was perfect for our large group of 11. The beach and downtown area are a short walk away. A great time was had by all! Thank you for a dreamy, little getaway.
The property was very clean and great for families with kids. The bikes, toys and games at the property kept everyone busy having fun the whole weekend. The short walk/bike to town and the beach were perfect to get outside and back quickly for the kids nap times. The hosts were very easy and responsive to communicate with.
This is our 2nd time at this property due to location and amenities for my 6 and 15 year old. We even changed our vacation dates to get this property for our stay. Highly recommend it especially with kids. Video games, swing set, air hockey, basketball, bikes not to mention everything you need for your stay in the kitchen.
A quiet neighborhood in close proximity to the Lake! Within walking distance to shops and restaurants! The house was spacious and offered all the comforts of home! Provided something for everyone to enjoy! Property managers were very attentive! Overall very satisfied!
âIn Between Dreams Summer Getawayâ was just that for our family. From walking to downtown and shopping in the boutique stores to eating at a variety of the local restaurants, our family is dreaming of a time we can come back to savor the summer again at the beaches, Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay and repeat all the relaxing vibes we enjoyed staying here. Kids of all ages will find something to do, even if itâs a rainy day. We found an oasis here in a comfy, family friendly fun space that fit our needs perfectly.
We stayed here to celebrate my sonâs graduation from Oberlin. It was lovely to be walking distance to restaurants and the lake. We hosted several of his friends for brunch with our family under the pergola. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, and a first floor bedroom for my 87-year old mother-in-law who joined us at the last minute! Hosts were flexible to allow us to check out late after the graduation.
The house was exactly as expected! Kitchen equipped with everything except a colander or maybe I just didnât see it. We utilized the games in the garage except for ping pong. We used the sandbox, fire pit, and basketball hoop.
We had plenty of warm water with good water pressure for 5 adults and 4 kids to bathe/shower.
All of the beds were comfy as well. The place was clean with plenty of areas to spread out. Thereâs a nice selection of games and puzzles. We didnât use the WI nor the karaoke but it was tempting. Iâd definitely stay here again!
We had a group of 8, which included a 15 year old and a 5mos old and we had a FABULOUS STAY!!! Thereâs so much room to spread out and relax and the baby always had a quiet place to rest even with a house full of people. They have a spotless home, super clean and stocked with all of the essentials. The temps outside in Vermillion were ridiculously hot but we were nice and cool- upstairs and down. It was a quick 10 minute leisurely walk to all the wonderful downtown shops, boutiques & restaurants and even the beach. We really enjoyed playing board games each evening and watching movies! Having 2 full bathrooms was a huge plus and it was great having the washer and dryer. The backyard was also a relaxing place to hang out. This house is just so perfect for large groups and we canât wait to stay again next year!!!
This property was great for our family group. Even though we are all grown-ups, we all had great fun with the garage play area - haven't played ping-pong in years, and we had a full-on tournament! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and we enjoyed the short walk to the small, quaint downtown restaurants and ice-cream shop. If you are bringing kids here, they will love it! Hope you get Pac-Man fixed - we elders were looking forward to reliving the 80's, but he's not eating any dots these days. Loved the outside pergola area - a table for dining al fresco would be a great addition. We very much enjoyed our stay!
Highly recommend! What a lovely home with plenty of comfortable, cozy rooms to gather with family and friends. Our family of 5 traveled from MD to spend Thanksgiving with family from Lorain and Cleveland. Perfect location for both sides of the family! Everyone loved playing games in the library, watching football in the living room, reacquainting themselves with Pac Man, and preparing dinner in the roomy kitchen. There was even enough room for two younger cousins to have a sleepover in the bunk room! We enjoyed the short walk to town to get coffee and see blustery Lake Erie. Marty and Bridget are terrific hosts and we would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the bikes and activities in the garage. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Our stay was wonderful. We had all adults staying overnight with our grandchildren visiting. The kids loved all the various games, books and playground. There was some dog droppings we needed to clear out, but overall a great play area. The house was well equipped and plenty of sleeping spaces available. The number of bathrooms made it a challenge and the upstairs bathroom was not very private. Perhaps a door instead of a curtain? Overall experience was great and expectations were very well met. Thank you to our host who was very accommodating and responsive. We very much recommend this home and Vermilion!
Depending on the day of the week, 8-12 of us stayed in this home, ranging in ages from 1 to north of 70. House is perfect for such groups, with multiple rooms of varying sizes, including very large 1st floor bathroom with laundry (both in use througout the week). Very large kitchen with very nice appliances, including a large refrigerator, easily accomodated a number of meals throughout the week.
A short 5-minute drive or 10-15 minute walk into the heart of downtown Vermilion, which puts you two blocks from the beach and Lake.
Everyone had a great time enjoying every bit of the house, including multiple arcade games inside the house and numerous, "more active" games in the garage (e.g. foosball, air hockey, ping pong, etc.)
Home was nicely furnished with towels (for bathing and the beach), and initial "paper" needs. The owners were excellent to work with prior to, and during our stay, including checking in to ensure we were ok when thunderstorms, tornados, and retultant wide-spread power outages swept across nornther Ohio (Vermilion was not impacted as much as those west and east of town were).
We are already planning our trip next year and hope to again stay at this house when doing so.
