We had a fantastic stay. Truly a unique property with water on 3 sides- the sounds of waves feeling more like ocean surf! Sunrise and sunsets were amazing! And the birds were incredible even in the off season. Easy drive to Point Pelee Natuonal Park with the park pass an added bonus.

Property is truly a " Birder's Paradise". The cottage was as described and had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving week-end getaway. My husband especially loved the showerhead in the bathroom. The views were spectacular from sunrise to sunset. We took our dog with us and he loved sitting on the deck and watching all the birds. We spent a day at Point Pelee using the complimentary pass provided by the host.

The views were gorgeous in every direction! Several comfortable seating areas both inside and out. Issues: one bed was advertised as Queen but had a double mattress on a queen boxspring. Second, easy to trip on the steps going toward our car. Would help to paint the top steps. Finally, not enough light in the kitchen. Stove, shower, Keurig all worked well.

Water view

The cottage was cute and exactly as pictured. The views and deck were wonderful. Water views from all windows. The only downside is that you have to drive into Leamington (10-15min) for shopping

I'm coming Back!

From the moment I booked to the moment I arrived, with my best friend, my first VRBO experience as spectacular. Our host was the best and answered all my questions. The cottage is everything and more, Eagles, Egrets, Herons, Garnets, Sunsets, Sunrises, I'm totally coming back. My only comment would be to upgrade the utensils and kitchen pots & pans. Thank you so much!

I think we won vacation?

WOW!!! That’s the word my husband and I kept saying throughout our week stay at this AMAZING rental!1. Cabin: Absolutely charming & exactly what you see in the pics. However, no photo of the view will ever do the real thing justice…literally EVERY ANGLE is breathtaking. We saw birds, fish, turtles, sunsets & even lightning…as casual American birders, we got SEVEN lifers just hanging out on the beautiful deck!2. Accommodations: The living/dining/bathroom are wonderful (we didn’t use the kitchen much) The beds/rooms are small so we slept separately (we’re 6’ & 6’4” so it would have been hilarious to cram us into one) - however, the beds/linens were clean & comfy! 3. Area: It was AMAZING being the last house on the road - felt totally secluded, even when people came to launch kayaks on the other side of the street. Everything is about a 20-min drive, & we picked up food & went to Point Pelee often (we HIGHLY recommend Moonlight Grill & Lounge and Joey’s Seafood)4. Communication: Frank/Suzy are so friendly & promptly answered all our questions. We had an issue with a park pass & Suzy literally drove a new one out to us right then! Frank went above & beyond to accommodate our requests, which made our vacation even more special! 5. We recommend bringing: side tables, fans, & extension cords for bedrooms. Condiments (there’s salt/pepper only). Bug tent (didn’t use it, but bugs got worse thru the week, so glad we had it)Thanks! We’re already planning our next visit!

This was our second time staying here, and while it was a different experience since we went weeks earlier than before, we LOVED it again! The deck and views are simply SPECTACULAR and is the reason we will come back yet again in the future (though the landscape is changing due to climate change - a couple trees were washed away just from a year ago!) While we didn’t see many new birds this time, we were crazy lucky to have watched 9 trumpeter swans call the marsh their home during our whole stay! The included Pelee pass is also so convenient, as we went in and out with ease all week. We cooked at the cottage this time around, and the grill and appliances all worked great (but we do recommend Moonlight Grill, Gingerbread House, and Joey’s Seafood restaurants!) Remember to bring your own side tables for sleeping if you need them like us, and there’s nothing but salt and pepper to cook with in case you’re making up a grocery list! Other than that, sit back and enjoy the breathtaking scenery!

Perfect location for birding

Pointe Pelee is 10 km away, and a pass is included. The property is at the end of the road, next to the lake and the marsh. Lots of windows and deck space. Comfortable seating. Views of both sunrise and sunset.
