3 bedrooms, 1 full and 1/2 bathrooms, comfortably sleeps 6

This beautifully remodeled lake-view home with a nautical theme, adjacent to the Historic Portage Lakes, is perfect for that special Romantic Getaway - Fishing Trip - Peaceful Relaxation Vacation or Out-Of-Town Guests.

The Nautical House is owned and managed by Roy Baine, owner of Baine's Pier 619 Pontoon Boat Rentals, and located directly behind Pier 619, and Mr. Baine's residence.

The 2-story home has 1 and 1/2 baths and 3 bedrooms to comfortably sleep 6. A full kitchen, dining room and living room.

From May until October, a free guided tour of the historic Portage Lakes is included with every 7-day stay. Invite up to 10 people to join you for a relaxing cruise. Pontoon boats, kayaks, and a small fishing boat are also available to rent from Pier 619.

What a GREAT House! We rented it with a classmate and his wife for a week leading up to my class reunion. It was everything I hoped for and more. I felt like we were staying in a brand new home. It was close to everything. We will be Back!

TOTALLY AMAZING

5 of 5
Submitted: August 1, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
My first thought on entering the house was that the pictures definitely don't do it justice. The house was much more beautiful than the photos show, yet very comfortable, so you didn't feel you needed to walk on eggshells. We were a family of three adults and two children, here for a family reunion, and the house was the perfect home base for all our activities. We had lots of other relatives meet us there, or come for visits, and the house easily expanded to suit our needs.

It is very close to some active bars/restaurants, so the activity level at night on the weekends was a little loud, but it added to the vacation atmosphere. During the morning, it was very peaceful to sit on the deck and watch people getting ready for their pontoon rentals.

The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the place was immaculate! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house to family or friends (or strangers) and would be happy to stay there again next time we're in the Akron/Canton area.
