Our second time staying in the area and as usual did not disappoint! Would definitely recommend for families or even if you’re there to visit family..excellent kitchen area to entertain.
We stayed here while in town for a hockey tournament. The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was great and we cooked most of our meals at the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for being such great guests at the modern beach house in Brights Grove/Sarnia. Hopefully you did well in the hockey tournament too.
Erin was the perfect hostess. Great comms from beginning to end. Brand new eat-in kitchen, with induction range; BBQ in the backyard -- Sunripe farm market, No Frills, and Superstore minutes away for eating in convenience. Can see this being great summer place with the beach a couple blocks away. Enthusiastically recommend.

You are the perfect guest thanks and hope you come again to the modern beach house in Brights Grove/Sarnia.
We were three coaches in town for the Silver Stick tournament and this was the perfect house for us. Nicely kept, easy to access, we would stay here again!

Thank you so much Jennifer. I hope your teams were successful in the tournament. Come again.
We had a lovely time. The location is great and contacting the host was quick and easy. We will be happy to get in touch again on our next visit to book the Beach House again.
Property was as advertised, clean and well equipped for our week long stay. We cooked most days and the kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable and fenced back yard was beautiful! Short walk to the beach and groceries were nearby. Check-in was easy and great communication with Erin. Would definitely stay again.

My friends and I stayed for a girls trip and we loved it. The property itself was clean and a great place to hangout. Huge bonus that Tim Hortons, grocery store/pharmacy, and pizza places are all within walking distance! The water is just down the street too and was a great view. Host was also very responsive and nice!

Riley, thanks for being such great guests. You and your friends are most welcome back at The Modern Beach House in Brights Grove / Sarnia.
Nice house that is close to the beach. We stayed in the winter so we were unable to take advantage of all that the house had to offer for summer guests. It was excellent though and the host is responsive and helpful.

Thank you, Sandy, for your kind review. You’re welcome back to stay anytime in the warmer months at the Modern beach house in Brights Grove.
Erin has created a super cute and cozy beach getaway. The beds were outrageously comfortable and the decor made us feel like we were right on the beach. Erin was friendly and very responsive. The house is a very short walk from the beach and in a great neighborhood. Very close to anything you might need. Definitely consider a stay!

The house was conveniently located in a wonderful neighborhood within walking distance to lake, shopping and restaurants.
The home was perfect and had lots of room for family and friend visiting. Outdoor backyard was lovely for entertaining and front porch was also great for relaxing.
Well equipped with everything you need. Erin (host)was easily accessible when needed. Great experience!
I recently stayed at this charming cottage and had a wonderful experience! The location is fantastic, with easy walking access to both the beach and essential shopping, making it incredibly convenient. The yard, both front and back offers a great space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on my side during my stay, so I didn’t get to fully utilize the yard. The kitchen is well equiped for meals, and there are a couple of local spots within walking distance. Overall, it’s a great spot for a relaxing getaway, and I highly recommend it!

Not quite what we expected
Overall, disappointed; but we did enjoy the walk along the beach area.
1. There was no Hot Tub, despite it being listed as an Amenity.
2. Internet speed obtained in our 2-day stay ranged from 30-55 Mbps, despite it having been listed as 500+ Mbps. (Most of the time, we only had one device connected.)
3. The sofa seat and floor corners had not been vacuumed, seemingly for a while. (Dust and breadcrumbs, especially on sofa seats.) We spent an hour vacuuming until the vacuum cleaner quit as a result of over-heating.
4. Bathroom (2nd floor) bathtub/shower tap provided only lukewarm water at its maximum rotation -- too cool for a comfortable shower and impossible for bathing. Also, the sink water tap was loose.
Other Suggestions:
1. Thermostat instructions, which are for a different model, should be updated. It took us a while to notice that there was a dial ring which had to be rotated. Also, the 30% humidity setting is too low for comfort.
2. The veranda steps should be cleaned (or salted/sanded) when icy. Also, the edge of the steps (especially the top step) should be made more visible when going down.
3. There was an intermittent noise (a worn-out pump?) that occasionally woke us up during the night.

Remo, I'm sorry you felt that way. I will address each of your times here.
Most importantly why did you not contact me when you had a question or problem. I am accessible by messaging and you had my cell phone number. All of these items could have been fixed to improve your stay, instead you waited and unloaded them here without my advanced knowledge and opportunity to remedy them. 1. Yes this was checked in error. It has been fixed. 2. There is a highspeed HDMI cable from the router for laptops that is "parked" in the side of the TV with a label
"laptop". If Cogeco had a service outage I can't control that but I could have checked as they broadcast it on their website. 3. I checked with my cleaner and she had cleaned the day prior. If something was missed she could have returned to clear it up. 4. Unless Enbridge stops shipping natural gas you cannot run out of hot water in that house. It is on demand and unlimited. I will have the sink tap tightened again. 5. The Google Nest thermostat displays one number, if you turn the dial right or left it will change the temperature to your liking. The instructions are for the Mitsubishi heat pump and that remote is above the Google nest thermostat on the same wall and it will provide instant HEAT or Air Conditioning. Again no need to be uncomfortable, one message or call and I could have gladly helped you. I'm sorry to hear it was icy, there are de-icing crystals in the front hallway for this purpose. I have added this to my listing now so it is better communicated. I checked with my cleaner and neither of us know what the source of the noise was that you heard. If it is windy out you can sometimes here the crash of the waves/surf from the lake. Remo, truly I'm sorry this was not a pleasant stay for you and encourage you to communicate this earlier to the host. All the best, Erin
Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und man merkt, dass auch die Besitzer es regelmäßig nutzen. Die Küche ist hervorragend ausgestattet, alles ist sauber und gemütlich.Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr gut, um ein Wasserproblem nach starkem Regen im Keller wurde sich schnell gekümmert. Es gibt genug Abstellflächen und Haken. Auch der Außenbereich hinten ist gut gepflegt und gut nutzbar, wenn das Wetter passt. Wir werden wieder dort buchen, wenn wir wieder in der Gegend sind.

About the host
Hosted by Erin Waddell
Hi my name is Erin and I am the owner and property manager of this great beach house. I love to travel and stay in a lot of short term rentals so I know what works and what doesn't. I worked in the US for many years and learned the essence of responsive customer service (it's their super power). I love to help people have a great time and provide suggestions of questions to make their stay more relaxing, enjoyable and fun.... even if you're in town for work!
Why they chose this property
This house is located in a beach community just on the edge of Sarnia, Ontario which shares a border with Michigan, USA. Great warm water and sandy beach access to Lake Huron. Dedicated pickleball courts at Blackwell, cycling community/paths, and golf courses. Enjoy eating outdoors where it is warm at night, breweries, restaurants, farm to fork fresh produce and grocery stores are all located close by.
What makes this property unique
Access to multiple public beaches that are located on Lake Huron and walking distance. Weekly farmers and artisan market at nearby park, free concerts in the park and the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises.
