Great place, great location - quiet and friendly neighbourhood on the lake. Was in area for work, and sooooo much better than hotel living! Owner Ken was helpful and great to deal with. Would stay again for sure.

Hi Alanna, thank you for your review! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and I'd love to have you back if you're in the area again!
Thank you for being such a great host. Checkin and out were simple and easy. Everything was thought of from a wagon for the beach to various books for kids. We loved it and will be back!
Our second stay…the house is perfectly situated a family vacation. It was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Easy walk or bike ride to the beach & lighthouse, nice yard and fire pit for campfires.
Thank you, Ken, for such a gem!

This property was incredible! It checked off all of our boxes, and even the boxes we didn't anticipate. I would definitely recommend this property to others, and I would stay there again next time I'm in the area.
The cottage is spacious, clean, private, short walk to the beach. Wonderful place for a family vacation. Comfortable beds. Great Kitchen. Large yard with great fire pit. Lots of outside space. Lots of outdoor seating. My family will be going back.

Thank you for your 5-star review, John. I am glad that you enjoyed your vacation so much that we'll see you again in 2022!
Had never been to this part of Ontario and was not in any way disappointed. The property is exactly as listed and pictured. We were all very pleased with the cottage, the outdoor activities and the easy access to the beach. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are hoping to be able to book the same cottage next year. Can't wait to go back!!!

It was a great holliday. The beach was close . the yard was big and my grandchildren loved every minute of this adventure. I would recommend it to everyone and would go back back in a heart beat. Sandra

Thank you Sandra for this glowing review! I do my best to make Blue Sky Cottage a great place for a family vacation. I am glad you enjoyed your vacation and would love to have you back again.
We loved our stay at this cottage. Beautiful area. Very close to quiet Sandy beach and playgrounds for children. Large property with horseshoes and a great fire pit. We had fires every night. No mosquitos or bugs. The only suggestion I would have is to upgrade the lawn furniture.
I would definitely return and recommend to others.

Thanks for the review Debbie. You can bet there will be better lawn chairs when you come back.
Wonderful location. Beautiful beach. Exactly as described!
This is a lovely property. There was lots of room for 6 adults and 2 kids to enjoy the long weekend. The communication from the host was excellent.

Was not impressed
This cottage was ok. I have to say I have never given a review where I was not satisfied but there are some issues that should be addressed.
Upon arrival I spent well over an hour cleaning the cottage, it was like no one had been by to clean in between renters. Dirty hand prints smeared on the bathroom walls, sand all over the floor, counters with ?? on them, light switches and door knobs with months worth of dirt that needed to be scrubbed off, and a few more things that should have never been an issue.
We also have a few things we look for in places we stay every year and A/C is one of them. Upon booking the listing stated A/C (not just in one bedroom), a few weeks before we arrived we noticed that the A/C was now listed to be in one room only. IT WAS HOT! But I was not going to cancel and ruin my kids summer vacation. I would suggest another A/C unit on the main floor, or even screens on the doors so they can be opened for a cross breeze at least.
Do not even think you are using the oven also. We took the suggestion to cook at a lower temp as stated in the handbook, we even went lower them the 50 degrees that was stated and everything burnt. Luckily there is a nice bbq and side burner that we could use.
The bikes were a nice added bonus (we also left one there that our family doesn't use anymore). The beach near by is beautiful and the kids enjoyed how far out they could walk out in the water. Ken was very easy to reach when needed.
At the end of the day my kids had a a good time and that's all that matters but we will not returning to this location.
Absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Sky Cottage! The house is spacious with lots of rooms and everything you need for your stay. While only one room has a window A/C, it felt cool in the house during the day. The backyard is very nice - a great place for barbeque or fire at night or just lounging around. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed all the toys in and outside the house - lots to entertain the little ones. We also really loved the community - very quiet and welcoming. It's a very short walk to the beach which was fantastic. Many opportunities for short drives around - Point Clark, Kincardine. All in all, would highly recommend!

We are very pleased that your family enjoyed your stay so much and we would love to have you back again! It sounds like you've made fantastic memories this year watching the kids playing with all those toys. That's awesome! Thanks again for your 5 star review Olga, it was a pleasure having you stay with us.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Blue Sky Cottage. There was lots of room for everyone inside and outside. Great fire pit and lots of spots for a quiet read or lively conversation. We brought a few things from home just in case, but everything we needed was already there. Ken was a great host too! Well maintained and comfortable for our multi-generational group. It took us a few days to find the short-cut to the beach, but we did find it. A map in the Welcome binder might have helped.

Thank you for your review Terry. I am glad you and your family all had a great time. We made a lot of changes this year and the map to the beach didn't make it into the binder. Thanks for your input. Renters will want that map, and I will make sure it gets in the binder.
We had a great time at Ken’s place. It was a great place for our family of 4. The bedrooms were all a great size and my preschooler loved the bunk bed. It was close to the beach (5min walk) and nice to be around other cottages. The beach was nice. You definitely need water shoes as it’s quite rocky when you first get in. As you further out, it’s sandy and decently shallow. Overall a great time!

Thank you for your great review, Roseann. We really appreciate this. We'd love to have you back in the future!
We spent a very pleasant week at Blue Sky Cottage.
A lot of the regular attractions in the area were closed, given the circumstances, but we enjoyed daily trips to the beach, and nightly BBQs and campfires in the backyard. We had everything we needed, and there was lots of room for everyone. It's just a quick run into Kincardine if we wanted a change of scenery, or to check out some of the walking trails and local restaurants. We were looking forward to a relaxing week in a beautiful spot with family, and that's what we got. We had to reach out to Ken for a couple of things during the week, and he was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely return again!

Hi Eleanor! Thank you very much for your excellent review. I really appreciate all that you've included and I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay at my cottage. I'd be more than happy to rent to you again. Ken.
This cottage set up is great for families. The 4 bedrooms are separate from the main living area with a half bath and there is a nice size mud room with a washer and dryer . The huge fenced yard provided more than enough space for games, bonfires and relaxing in the shade or sun.
It is a quick walk to the beach or tennis court!
Response from VrboOwner on 5 August 2020
Thank you for your review. With the space I have, my preference is renting to families. I am glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay, and I hope you come back again.
Bluesky cottage was just as advertised a really nice time for the whole family. The owner Ken very responsive and a decent guy to deal with. I would recommend to friends

Hello Joe :D I'm glad your family had such a good time at my cottage. Please feel free to recommend it to your friends and family. Thanks for your positive review, I really appreciate it!
Awesome location, cottage and property is a great size for our group of 6. Cottage needs some TLC. Renters are responsible for cleaning at end of stay. Cleaners do come, I suspect they only do washrooms. Furniture and floors were covered in sand. Likely due to the vacuum cleaner not working. No cleaning supplies such as Lysol or toilet bowl cleaner to properly clean throughout our stay or on departure.

Hello Kathrin, thank you for your review and 4/5 stars rating! I'm sorry you had issues with the cleanliness of my cottage, but thank you for bringing this to my attention. The vacuum cleaner was clogged and is fully functional now, and cleaning supplies have been stocked at my cottage as well. Again, thank you for your review and feedback.
Great little spot - made for a nice change from a hotel for a business trip. Ken is helpful and quick to respond. Would definitely stay again.
thanks!

Thanks for the 4/5 stars anonymous renter! Thanks for commenting about the layout of the cottage, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I use Rogers cellular network and it's always good for me so I'm not sure which network you were using that didn't work. Sorry about that.

Nice location but not clean
Cottage location was good but the cleanliness left something to be desired. We are glad the weather was nice so we could spend most of our time outside.
