WATER FRONT ESCAPE

Image having your family at a waterfront cottage private dock to park your boat and just a 2 min. boat ride to Wellers Bay`s hidden treasure of islands with white sandy beaches. Take the family out for an early morning fishing trip...people come from all over to fish in Weller`s Bay.

All of this while being in the heart of Prince Edward County ... take a few days to discover the restaurants, cafes and antique stores while driving through the County visiting winery after winery.

Stop and enjoy wine tasting and enjoy a fresh pizza made in the pizza ovens of one of the many wineries.

We didn’t get to stay because there was no code or contact with the owner. No communication at all. This is the worse vrbo experience I have had. The property should not be a rental.

Great Getaway
Our family had a very nice stay at this cottage. It is located 15 minutes away from North Beach and about 40 minutes away from Sandbanks. The house is clean and spacious. It has a huge backyard where we enjoyed great views esp. at sunset. The lake is beautiful with clear water, no seaweeds, shallow entry (good for kids), the bottom is a little rocky so water shoes are recommended. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, washer and dryer. It has all basic equipment and lots of dishes but needs more frying pans and a new kettle. Also it would be nice to have a bigger dining table with more chairs to accommodate parties of 7-8 people. I believe water is not drinkable in that area, it has a specific smell, so bringing your own drinkable water is a good idea. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and would definitely rent here again.

The property needs updating especially in the kitchen, the drawers didn’t function properly. The hand towel in the half bath was broken.

Has a lot of potential!
My family was supposed to stay at this cottage for a week but we left early for a number of reasons. One, we didn't realize it was 40 minutes from the Sandbanks. Too far for us. Two, there is no air conditioning - only fans. One of the ceiling fans is making an awful screeching noise so we didn't turn it on. Three, we needed a bathtub for a baby girl but there is only a shower. It's my mistake as I should have examined the photos better. By the way, there is a shallow inlet you could enter and swim in but you definitely need swim shoes. It is very rocky! Overall, the furniture and decor are nice. The property could be cleaner. (I swept the floor after we arrived and found a lot of crumbs and stuffs.) Some repairs are needed as the screen window to the bedroom closest to the entrance and the backyard screen door need to be fixed. This property has a lot of potential to being better - just a little more TLC needed!

Reminded us of our old cottage
The property is amazing for family games and swimming. Cottage is large enough to host two families. The owner is very responsive to phone calls. A few minor things need to be addressed but I’m sure the owner will follow up. North beach 10 minutes away. Thanks for a great family holiday. Norm

Met all my expectations and Beyond
Pros: excellent host with excellent communication We arrived early and the host allowed us to check in to theit wonderful cottage. The pictures do not do justice to this property. Its an open concept cottage with lots of space for kids and adults to bond with. This cottage is fully equipped and the hosts made sure that we had everything we needed including dropping off a gas tank when our gas ran out for the bbq. We enjoyed bonfires outback facing the lake and caught fish as well. We enjoyed so much that we decided to extend and the hosts were more than accomdating. Thank you for having us and we will be back again next year. Fyi this property is close to North Beach pronvincial Park and 43 minutss away from Sandbanks. Thank you L and company for this wonderful cottage.

A complete nightmare....absolutely disgusting
Fighting VRBO for my money back because the week we stayed here was a nightmare. HUGE safety concerns. There was mouse feces in the bottom drawer of the stove, on top of the baking sheets, as well as beside the dresser in the bunk bed room. There were open dishes of mouse poison located in the lower cupboard of the kitchen...easily accessible for my curious 15 month old. There were no electrical outlet or switch covers in the bunk bed room. There was broken glass lined along the side of the back deck. Very very poor standards of cleaning. The bathroom hadn't been cleaned at all...there was leftover hair all over the floor and in the shower. MASSIVE SEPTIC backup and flood in the bathroom, leaked into the hallway and bedroom. Had to use a bucket to go to the bathroom. They don't treat their well water and do not provide drinking water. The door to the water tank/cleaning supplies/water pump room was not even attached. The 2pc bathroom doesn't have a lock on it. The bbq on the back deck doesn't work/has no insides so you have to walk down to the beach to cook dinner. There was a dish left in the living room that had cigarette ash in it...clearly someone smoking indoors. I'm 5mos pregnant with 2 young kids (4 & 15mos) and I have never been so appalled and disappointed with a stay before. DO NOT RECOMMEND this place to anyone.

Early Days.
Nice location, and good access to shallow water on Wellers Bay, ideal for young kids. Beds were comfortable, spacious common rooms, well stocked kitchen. Some fine tuning will probably be added with tie as we understand the owners are relatively new to the property. The property manager was very responsive to our needs. Would consider renting again next year..

Peaceful family vacation
The perfect summer cottage trip with our kids ages 3-11. We spent the week swimming in the warm lake, which has no weeds and a long shallow entry perfect for kids. The beautiful lawn and peaceful surroundings, and best of all a western exposure allowed us to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets by the lake and firepit every evening. The cottage itself is comfortable and a nice size, with large windows, cozy, updated furniture and nice bathrooms. We definitely hope to return next summer!

What is vs what ain’t
Our standards of cleanliness must be must higher because we ended up re-cleaning the place for our own safety. The BBQ was another safety hazard that was never maintained or cleared. The water had a very strong smell of metal. Bottle water was out best friend. The place has great potential just not really unkept as in the pics. Made the best of what we got and for the price we got.

Great Getaway
This property was in a perfect location, right on the water with access to the Bay. The home was spotless when we arrived. Very spacious and a beautiful view. I would strongly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away with friends or family. Check in and out was very easy and the property manager did everything in their power to ensure a fun/relaxing stay. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back

The cottage itself is in a great location and we appreciated the host trying to help with the issues we did have. The property did not appear to have been cleaned prior to our arrival. The floors were dirty and bed sheets had stains. We were also not made aware the water was suspected from the lake and not useable. We had drainage problems with both the shower and sink. Would consider staying again if the "kinks" of renting a property are worked through.

Waterfront property with lovely sunsets
We enjoyed a relaxing holiday at this lovely waterfront cottage. Sunsets were stunning. Only one issue was that the listing indicated 2 full baths and 1 half bathroom but there is only one 3-piece and one 2- piece bathrooms and no bathtub. We enjoyed our stay very much.
