About this property
The NEST-an upscale beach cottage in Holiday Beach Conservation Area
Recently renovated to provide an upscale and memorable experience with the outdoor deck getting its makeover in May 2025. Our cottage is exquisitely designed for couples, girlfriend weekends or families. This property is the only cottage within the Conservation Area, with no adjacent lodgings as well as direct access to a wide sandy (shared) park beach. The modern design is optimal for two adults and up to four children, or 5-6 adults, and has a beautiful outdoor living space (May 2025) with gas barbecue, covered (May 2025) eating area, conversation area and nearby fire pit. The interior includes modern conveniences such as a smart television and a full-size gas range and fridge. Luxurious bedding is provided for adults and fun kid-friendly bedding is available for our younger guests. Girlfriend groups will appreciate the Tommy Bahama all-cotton bedding and spa towels. We only use cotton bedding for adult bedding setups. Beach towels are provided at one per guest.
The cottage now includes pantry items such as spices, oil and vinegars, coffee (and bean grinder), tea, pancake mix and syrup. We do stock the fridge with ketchup and mustard. These items are provided for convenience and are not refreshed until supply is exhausted. Use to your own comfort level, property host accepts no product liability.
Located in the heart of a mature Carolinian forest, this waterfront cottage at Holiday Beach Conservation Area is steps away from Lake Erie's sandy beach, with breathtaking views. Holiday Beach is globally recognized as an important bird area. Other park amenities include walking trails, boardwalks, a fishing pond, a 40 foot viewing tower overlooking the Big Creek wetland and large picnic areas. The park is conveniently located close to splash pads, mini golf, wineries, historic sites and many restaurants.
