About this property

Charming Waterfront Summer Cottage on Bay of Quinte (*NEW DOCKS*)

This summer waterfront cottage is perfect for small families, couples or groups looking for deck and dock-lounging, with killer sunsets.

**NEW 50-FOOT DOCK, complete with sitting area and swim ladder. And FLOATING DOCK and swim platform some 50-feet out.**

**NEW PADDLE BOARDS option (waivers required).**

**5-NIGHT MIN in July/August only. Reach out for shorter stays off-peak season.**

The cottage is located on Big Island, facing north on the Bay of Quinte, with a longish, rolling property, 20 minutes from Picton, 30 minutes from Sandbanks and virtually everything else the county has to offer.

Enjoy beaching, wineries and artisanal ‘stuff’ by day, and board games, waterfront fires and sunsets certain to jack up your Instagram-cred by night.

This is a 2-bedroom (1 queen/2 twins), 1 bath (standing shower only) with a pullout couch in the living room to sleep 4 comfortably and 6 cozily.

WiFi, wood-stove if it gets cold, TV with DVD player (incl. early 2000s DVD collection), stereo with smartphone hook-up, and board game selection.

Kitchen comes stocked with vintage dishware to complement the vintage avocado cupboards. Standard appliances (incl. microwave, but no dishwasher or washer/dryer). BBQ on deck.

Linens, towels and basic sundries (TP, Kleenex, paper towels, dish/hand soap) provided.

Adventurous swimmers will be happy here (i.e., okay with rock shore, underwater weeds etc.). If you want sand and crystal clear water, you will prefer swimming at Sandbanks 30 minutes away.

The Bay of Quinte is a fisher’s paradise, so if that’s your thing, you’ve come to the right place. Baycrest Lodge and Marina is a 2-minute drive down the road if you want to launch and/or dock a boat during your stay.

Tap water is safe and drinkable.

Friendly neighbours on either side. Be sure to say hello during your [minimum] 5-day stay!

You may want to prominently mention the air conditioning. Maybe not a concern for our week, but it would have been a concern if booking in July.Everything was great!

Clean cottage with everythi g needed for a great getaway!

We enjoyed this lovely cottage on the bay! Cottage was exactly as described, the host was very helpful and responsive and we enjoyed the setting and the paddleboards. It was just the right size for our small group and easy for my elderly mom to get around. Highly recommended!

Relaxing getaway

Great stay in cute Demorestville. Really great waterfront for pups and humans (although bring water shoes :)). Awesome new deck as well. Close to Picton (20 min drive) but far enough away you still feel like your in the middle of the country.

Excellent base to explore PEC

Great, well maintained cottage on a quiet road on the Big Island. Easily accessible to all the PEC has to offer. The front covered porch is so useful if you happen to get rainy weather as we did. We loved the big, well maintained backyard and sunsets. Highly recommend.

Amazing stay, kids had lots of space to play on the property. Very quiet and peaceful views of the bay and the sun. Nice to have a floating deck to rest away from shore. Water isn’t very clear but there are other spots in the region to see different kind of beaches. Phil was great host, checking in on a regular basis making sure we were all set. Merci!
