The cottage is on a point, and the view was absolutely amazing, even more beautiful than the pictures indicated! The cottage itself is clean, with stellar views from every room. We did have an issue with the septic tank on the day before we left. It was full and we were no longer able to flush the toilet. Unfortunately, Frank was unable to have it pumped until the next day, which was a bit of a bother as we had to make a few runs to Timmies to use their washrooms. However, Frank was very apologetic and responsive, and we understand that he did his best to expedite getting the tank pumped. Even with this little hiccup, we would definitely book to stay in this cottage again, but for longer next time!

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.

Unsurpassed beauty but lacks maintenance

The cottage was the last one in the row and is surrounded by Lake Erie, enabling you to see the lake on three sides with a lovely, long deck on all three sides. There are about a dozen large urns spaced along the decks with identical gorgeous palms and crimson flowers in each one. Gorgeous! Security lights flashed off and on every 2 minutes, making it hard to sleep. Some receptacles did not work. Silverware drawer almost falls out when you open it. There was no toaster. There was only a Keurig coffee maker but no Keurig 'cups' were supplied until we phoned the manager. The person who delivered the cups did not know how to solve the security light problem, and any advice given on the phone did not work as the labelling on the fuse box was so faint you could not read it. No one actually came to fix any of the problems but only offered advice that did not work. The large bottom drawer in vanity in bathroom would not close and stuck out in the way. The bathroom sink stopper did not work. Because the bedrooms were small, they are not suitable for seniors as convenient access to the other side was about impossible. There is a 10-12" step from the kitchen to the rest of the cottage and the dining area. The comfy stuffed chairs were beautiful but if you reclined in them, to close them was almost impossible. There is no lever like Lazy-boys but you have to kick the front harder to close than any senior can. There is a tiny beach opposite the cottage which we enjoyed.

Best VRBO we have ever stayed in

Words cannot describe the beauty of this place. Exceptionally well decorated but not cluttered, in the best location imaginable. Right on the lake surrounded by water on three sides, birds, galore, extremely clean. Yes it is a bit small but that’s part of the point of it. If it were large, you wouldn’t get a few from every single room, nor would it be as special. This is the most exceptional place. Don’t hesitate to you will love every moment. Also, the owner is very responsive and generous.

Spectacular Views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the spectacular views over Lake Erie. So close to the lake that you can imagine you’re on a boat! Beautiful new deck. The listing and photos are very accurate. Location is amazing, as it’s 15 minutes to Leamington for groceries and about the same to Point Pelee National Park. Buy your gas at Caldwell Gas (First Nations) on Mersea Rd 1! Far cheaper than anywhere else in the area! The only reason I could not give a full 5 stars is kitchen equipment is lacking and could easily be fixed. Some measuring cups and spoons, a whisk, some large bowls, aluminum foil, a cutting board a grater and a regular coffee maker would be helpful. There is a single cup Keurig machine that takes the plastic K-cups. We cooked and grilled a lot, so it depends on what you need. The internet was variable. Generally good in the morning, but slower in the evening. The property was clean with very nice finishings. I would highly recommend this property!

Breathtaking views

Really enjoyed my stay. The property is the last one on the road surrounded by Lake Erie to the east and a wetland to the west. The deck wraps around the house. Enjoyed both amazing sunrises and sunsets. Loved falling asleep to the sounds of crashing waves. The only knock were the flies and mosquitoes but that's part of being in nature. Note bring a sweater as it's always cooler by the lake
