Neighbourhood overview:

It takes 5 minutes to drive to Sandbanks Provincial Park. It takes 24 minutes to drive to Mountain View Airport. It takes 51 minutes to drive to Belleville Airport. It takes 2 hours 15 minutes to drive to downtown Toronto. Quiet island life with super friendly neighbours... Please drive slowly on the island.

Getting around:

You will need a vehicle, motorcycle or a bike when exploring all the county has to offer from wineries to art galleries, antique shopping and micro-breweries, to farm fresh produce stands, world class golf courses, beaches and quaint county life.

Other things to note:

Water sport rentals can be accessed at the Westlake Wakeboard School (located 1 min drive from the house). Ben is the owner of the shop. He and his team will get you set up and treat you right!

TOWELS:
Please note that while bath towels are provided for you use during your stay, they are 100% NOT FOR BEACH OR WATER SPORT USE and are not to leave the home. We provide red striped towels for beach/water sport activities for all guests for the length of your stay. Should you lose or destroy a bath or beach towel a $50.00 charge will apply per towel lost or destroyed. Sorry to take such a hard line on this, but if we don't, towels go missing or come back moldy and soiled beyond washing. Dish and hand towels are also provided in the home.

TOILETS:
Keep in mind that while you may be in a modern home, it is still county living and the water is on a well and septic. So please DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN HUMAN WASTE AND TOILET PAPER in the toilets. Sorry to mention this so prominently and in CAPS. Unfortunately, this has gone horribly wrong before and so needs to be said.

INTERNET / WIFI:
Unlimited satellite wifi; good enough to stream Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, Crave, HBO, CBC, AppleTV+ and more, plus zoom calls.

SMOKING:
Please, no smoking inside. As we cater to a variety of guests and healths, maintaining a smoke-free interior is very important.

KITCHEN:
If you are looking to cook-in, when using the pots & pans, please note that they are 100% metal and handles and lids will get hot when in use on the gas range. The hot mitts provided or a kitchen towel should be used when interacting with the handles, pans and lids.

SNOW:
It gets super pretty in the County during the Winter months with all the snow. To that end, a snow shovel has been provided located inside the boot room as you enter the suite in case you are in need of a quick shovel to get to the car or wish to clear the front path or the patio, BBQ area, etc. There is also some rock salt provided if you feel some is needed for the BBQ area (as it can get quite slick on the concrete with the wind; the rock salt is located on the patio in a rubbermaid bin inside the BBQ). The driveway and front path to the door are gravel, so should not be slick at all. Just crunchy with snow. ;)

Otherwise, we have a snow plowing service who comes in once a week and after heavy snowfalls to do the driveway. Around those times, you will be on your own for any snow you wish removed.

GROCERIES:
In Picton there is a Metro, No Frills and a Foodland.
In Wellington there is a Foodland.
In Bloomfield there is the Bloomfield Public Market for a variety of fine grocery options.
I'd suggest going to Picton or stop at any number of boutiques or farmers stalls.

BOOZE:
There are LCBO's in both Wellington and Picton. With the Picton location being the larger of the two with the better selection.
There are of course a complete host of wineries and craft breweries who will happily sample you some of their wines and provide you with off-sales.

PATIO CUSHIONS:
Please leave these outside.

FIRE PIT / BBQ:
Please ensure to turn off the propane when not in use. Same goes for the BBQ and the natural gas line. Simply shut the valve to the off position (perpendicular to the pipe in a T position), when finished. In the Winter, please leave the patio screen doors open, as they risk being frozen shut if left in the closed position and that entrance is useless until it thaws, or forces someone to try forcing the screen open which usually ends up in bending the frame and knocking it off the tracks. So it's just easier for all involved if they are left open for the Winter months.
