10/10 Recommend!!

The place had the perfect location being able to walk to restaurants/shops/parks and right on the water for a great view! Beach pass included for easy access to a beautiful nearby beach which was great for our family. Parking was a breeze and the home had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Gary was so communicative and responded right away to any questions I had and even let us check in early/check out late when I asked him! We will definitely stay here again!

Remembering the “old days”.

Perfect location and very comfortable for our two night stay at “the shore”. Weather did not cooperate however, so we spent extra time on the couch! Kitchen is well equipped and everything worked. We would certainly book this again.

Exceeded expectations

Everything was very easy and uncomplicated. Our host, Gary was very kind and helpful without being over-bearing The house was comfy and better than the photos showed. There were ceiling fans in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, good AC and easy access to amenities (and just a short walk to restaurants and ice cream). Parking was convenient too. A great spot for a long weekend by the beach with friends. Highly recommend.
Bbq was just out front.
Beautiful flowers all over the property

Another enjoyable stay

We’ve been staying in the Highlands for years and this is one of our favorite spots. We enjoy cooking and relaxing together in the open concept downstairs. The host is always available to answer questions or help out in any way. The area is safe, quiet at night, and walking distance to several eateries and bars. We appreciate the reasonable rates and the overall experience and will continue to stay there w hen it’s available.

Wonderful

Everything about the property was excellent. We are a family of 6 with two kids, their parents as well as myself (nana) and grandpa and small dog. Grandpa has mobility issues and the small bedroom downstairs was so helpful. Location was fun, fishing and lots of places to eat. We are already thinking about next year!

Amazing place!

I rented this home for a Friday-Sunday. On Saturday my bridesmaids got ready in the house before our wedding. The open floor plan and incredible location on the river made it the perfect spot. Check in was incredibly easy and we were greeted by the property manager when we arrived. There is access to the riverfront with chairs and it was a great place to get photos with my bridesmaids. I highly recommend this home! The house was clean and is close to everything Highlands has to offer.

We were unable to go at the last minute as several members of the family came down with Covid. Gary and Larry were extremely understanding and allowed us to choose other dates without penalty. I’m so grateful and can’t wait to actually get there!!

The house is clean and comfortable for a family or group — we had seven adults. We appreciated the large couch and dining tables for socialising inside. The kitchen was stocked practically for cooking up meals. The deck chairs outside on the water are a gem for enjoying the location. Even though close to a main road and bridge, it is quiet and has a neighbourhood feel. The caretaker and house owner were both helpful and friendly. This property has multiple units, which is great if you’re travelling with other families or a large group.
