Upon arrival, you could tell this was a much loved family cottage. We enjoy the open concept common area with cooling fans and many windows to view the lake. The beach was wonderful for beachcombing and relaxing. We all had a great time and are booked again for next year.

This place is so tranquil, just what I needed.
A visit to Point Pelee National Park is a must. There is so much to see and do. I am hoping to return for a week next year. Just a beautiful property in an amazing location.

Property was as advertised. Nice large beach as well as grassed area for activities. Although there were lots of beds/areas for sleeping the mattresses all need replacing. Two members of our party left early as they were unable to get a good night's sleep...felt like sleeping on a marshmallow.

Beautiful water view, close to Point Pelee park.
However there were holes in the 2nd floor ceiling, signs of water damage when we were there.
We found bed bugs on the day bed.

We rented the cottage in October and it was a great experience. We had beautiful weather and were able to relax on the beach and the back deck. As it was off season, it was very quiet and we had the Sandy beach to ourselves. The cottage offered all the necessities available, kitchen is well stocked and the bed was comfortable. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Adorable cottage with everything you could need. Large yard to play games in or have a fire and s’mores at night.
Fantastic views of the lake, the beach just steps away. Unfortunately the water was very cold this week, this is not normal for Lake Erie.
Did have trouble accessing the cottage after shopping one day, but owner quickly resolved our issue.
Overall, a lovely cottage experience!

Absolutely perfect!
From the moment we walked in we were amazed by how perfect this cottage is! Lots of space for the four of us, loved seeing all the family pictures and memorabilia throughout the cottage it gave it such a homey feel. The deck leading to the beach made for many many many hours of swimming, castle building, beach glass hunting, family pictures and having drinks! Bonfires of the beach were a new favourite! Had many day trips to pelee national park,Freddy’s restaurant for lunch and ice cream were incredible. A family run business and all around so friendly! Taylor’s fish and chips made for a yummy afternoon lunch the fish couldn’t be fresher! Evenings were spent on the deck on the beach with a glass of wine or playing board games and morning sunrises we’re breathtaking! Carl and Beverly have definitely made this cottage a home away from home! We booked for next year before even leaving because my kids insisted this be our new family tradition! Thank you for a wonderful week!!

Pros - nice property and beach
Loved the air conditioning on a hot week
Bar fridge was a great addition for cold drinks and alcoholic beverages
Loved two bathrooms
Cons - cottage was a little outdated
Owners left many possessions in drawers and closets which made it difficult to find places to put our stuff. Felt the cottage was also a little cluttered. Linens and towels were worn and dated.

The Fab Five
This was our second year staying at the cottage. It was a girls weekend and we have so much fun. The cottage has everything we need we don't even leave the property. It is very comfortable and there is enough room for everyone to sleep and sit. It is so nice to wake up and look out at the water. The view is beautiful. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful cottage with us.

Great stay , great views ,well stocked cottage . We had issues with opening the door but the host was accessible through this issue . Just wish the floor was cleaned and mopped on check in but the broom was easy to find so we did it ourselves. The cottage otherwise is just wonderful and we look forward to coming back someday

The stove is ancient and hard to see the dials for the burners to know which one you were turning on. Everything toaster etc. had to plug into the stove .Could not find broom or mop for the floors our feet were black after a day in the cottage There are no curtains on the windows in the living area except by the table glad we had no neighbours up at the same time would have felt like living in a fish bowl.Other then that perfect
