Comfortable Cottage and awesome host!

We really enjoyed our long term stay at the Beach House cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you might need. The cottage is comfortable and the fireplace is a nice bonus on rainy days. Judy is amazing, very responsive and helpful! Nice location, close to beaches, trails and a few restaurants.

Home away from home

The beach house had everything we needed; and, the beach theme was so relaxing. Quality everything throughout and the location was close to shopping, beaches, and dining, although with such a well equipped kitchen, we cooked in most days. We'll return here in the future. Judy was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.

Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing little slice of paradise!

The property owner, Judy thought of everything when stocking this beach house. It has been beautifully designed with a holiday by the beach in mind. Judy answered questions so quickly, and did little things that enhanced our vacation. We were hoping for a nice little retreat away from home and we were not disappointed. There were four of us and two large dogs, but with the vaulted ceilings and peaceful design, it felt so spacious and relaxing. We will be back for sure.

Amazing Accomodation

We saw the amazing photos on line of the cottage when we booked. It was all that and more when we arrived. This well appointed fully renovated modern cottage did not disappoint. It had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation and this cottage. The host was available and inquired if we had everything we needed. All you need for your vacation at this cottage is your suitcase and groceries. Thank you to the Host for making our stay relaxing and enjoyable.

Perfection

Beautiful cottage on the edge of a huge Provincial Park. This cottage is the best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in. Smeg coffee maker, every utensil you can think of. Pans that are still non stick. Knives that cut! Beautiful decor. Restful. So comfortable. Immaculate. Judy the owner is amazing to work with. I’ll be back!!

Our host, Judy, was awesome. She contacted us upon check-in advising that she was available for any questions or concerns. And unlike some of our other vrbo experiences, Judy meant it. She even delivered a lovely flower basket for the front door.The cottage was very well-appointed with linens, towels, toiletries, cookware, etc. It was clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi access was easy. Although we never turned them on, both bedrooms had TVs.The highlight was the proximity to Rathtrevor Provincial Beach Park. The park trail access is directly across a residential street from the cottage complex. The only downside was that we didn't enjoy the quite nice back deck due to traffic noise. It had 2 Adirondack chairs, 2 Adirondack lounge chairs and accompanying cushions. The grill was spotless and had full tanks. I will say that we are quite sensitive to traffic noise as our home doesn't have any.
