Belle Vista cottage is a gem on Lake Erie. My wife and I were in town for hiking and picture-taking during the local bird migration, but enjoyed the spectacular lake views and the cheery comfort of the cottage more than anything else on the trip. Our hosts seemed to have anticipated our every need, and also made themselves easy to reach for any problems that might arise (though none did). The spaces were spotless, set up for convenience, and offered everything from plentiful bedding and blackout curtains to welcoming gifts from local shops. There's an electric fireplace, remote-controlled heating/cooling access, a large-screen TV, full-size kitchen appliances, a washer and dryer, and a coffee maker with a generous supply of coffee/tea/flavoring options. Clear views of Lake Erie were available from nearly everywhere in the cottage, and the rear deck offered panoramic access to the sights and sounds of the lake from just a few feet away. Squirrels played on the deck, and we saw a greater variety of birds there than on any of the hikes in nearby Point Pelee Nat'l Park. Sunrise and sunset were high points every day. This felt more like being put up by family than renting a place to stay, It was a really satisfying getaway at a very reasonable price. We'll be back soon!

We had a lovely stay at Bella Vista. Really cute cottage feel, with a lovely view right on the water. Bright and clean; well stocked kitchen; everything you need. Excellent for the two of us. Great location for winery touring and a trip to Point Pelee. The rail trail - Greenway Trail - is 3 km away for a nice gravel ride. Highly recommend this place and would stay here again if we come back to this area.

Everything about Bella Vista exceeded our expectations. We were surprised with how spacious and clean the cottage was upon entering. The view whether inside or outside is stunning. Perfect for our young family. We were able to swim, enjoy the lake and play board games (provided) on the deck while our youngest napped. Both children enjoyed the sand area daily. We enjoyed watching the sunsets over the lake and a storm across the lake one night. Quiet respectful neighbours and amazing hosts!

Perfect Getaway on Lake Erie

The space was perfect for a getaway to Lake Erie. The cottage has wonderful outdoor space and lakefront access all within a short drive to downtown Kingsville. Even when inside the octtage you enjoy the lakefront views with all the windows and sunlight coming through. The cottage had everything we needed and was a delight to stay at.

Best Vacation Rental in Kingsville

The place was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The decor was tastefully done, blending elegance with comfort in a way that enhanced our stay. One of the highlights of this rental was undeniably the amazing view of the lake, visible from almost every room, which provided a serene backdrop to our vacation. This place was a perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and convenience, making our getaway truly memorable.

The actual property is a lot better than what was shown on the listing. Me and my family enjoyed our stay and we had so much fun. We are already planning on booking the same place for next year and invited other friends to check this place as well.

Mini vacay

Bella Vista is a charming property on Cedar Island with absolutely incredible views. The cottage is extremely clean and well appointed. Everything you need is there. The hosts are very thoughtful, leaving a personalized greeting and a very tasty welcome gift. While the lake breezes are lovely to listen to, we were there during an incredibly hot spell and the air conditioning was very much appreciated. The deck has sun and shade at times and a large table and chairs set along with a cozy smaller table and chairs provide options for soaking up the sun and amazing views. Located right around an easy 10 minute drive to Kingsville shops, restaurants and grocery makes this a great choice. Last but not least, the hosts are incredibly attentive, thoughtful and very easy to talk to. We absolutely plan to return. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Beyond expectations

Lovely, updated cottage with everything we needed. This is the perfect cottage for family with younger childern. There is an upper deck with patio seatings and table for eating. Off the side there's a small sand pit, perfect for younger childern to play without access to the lake... much safer option! When ready, the whole family can enter the private beach area from the ladder off the upper deck. It was very ideal for us with kids age 6 and 8. The hosts have set up a well thought out cottage with plenty of everything we needed to make a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

An extraordinary experience. The chalet is located on a majestic site overlooking and hearing the waves of the immense waters of Lake Erie. The terrace is very pleasant and has everything you need according to the pictures. The chalet is tastefully furnished; the owners have thought of every details. Welcome gifts awaited us, and it was an opportunity to discover local products. One last detail: we should have rent for the wholw week instead of only 3 nights. Excellent value for money.
