Wonderful property right on the East beach. A spacious sized home for our large family that had every amenity available- grill, outdoor space and furniture, gorgeous stretch of walkable beach, fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, comfortable beds and all the linens supplied. I couldn’t have asked for more in one property. Sayed is an excellent host and so easy to work with. Highly recommend this stay and look forward to future visits!

Great location. Beautiful view from every where in cottage. Lovely deck to sit on. Plenty outside furniture. Great size bedrooms. Definitely needs a new couch. Could not get WI-FI to work. No Smart TV. Which I wasn’t there to watch tv. The outside shower was a hose. Lucky we brought our own sheets because I didn’t see any provided. Ants in kitchen. None of the negatives were deal breakers for us. The positives out weighed the negatives. I would rent again.

The checkout cleaning process stressed us out the entire stay; we couldn’t truly relax. Couch was ridiculously uncomfortable and hard to rest after a 32km day of biking/walking. Place needs a “spring clean” - tonnes of spiders; walls/fabrics/trim/windows haven’t seen a good cleaning in quite some time.I am completely grateful for the beautiful landscape and ability to stay on island and really soak up the experience on Pelee Island. It was a bed and it was fantastic! Unfortunately, caught the worst of the stable flies (tail end of August). It would be worth checking out when they aren’t there for enjoyment of outdoors and beach. What a great start to our holiday! Recommend the place if you are simple and can work with what is. Thank you again!

Excellent beach front location, amazing caretaker, fully euiped and comfortable space and cooperative owner.

We’re sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with your stay at our rental cottage. Regarding the photos, we made sure to ask for your permission when we arrived to welcome you all , which you kindly gave, and we expressed our gratitude several times. That said, we were quite surprised by the condition in which the cottage was left after your departure. It was significantly messier than expected, and unfortunately, that does reflect on the level of care shown during your stay.

The property was a nice size, the house was overall as advertized. The weather was really hot, the bedrooms had window air conditioners which worked well, but the rest of the house was warm

All the amenities of a modern house with very fine sand swim beach that is only few feet away from the very shallow lake for several feet that is ideal for swimming of the rookies, the frail elderly and younger children with adult supervision.
