Avis Huron waterfront cottage in Goderich

This place had so many issues. The toilets didn’t work properly, only the upstairs bathroom flushes. So if you think you can have more than 5 people to this property - please be aware! The host put up an ad with a bunkie, which was on our arrival locked up cause the toilet apparently flooded everything and we were short of beds. The garage has the worst smell. It smells moldy. No one can possibly stand there for more than 5 minutes let alone sleep there as suggested by the host. The beds had sand on them and were dirty. Other than the master bedroom, all the other mattresses were seriously bad and old, everyone complained of back issues. Tried telling the boat that we needed more rooms like the bunkie as described, or at least a partial refund should be issued and she said have a nice stay. Communication is at a level of 0. It’s just sad that this beautiful location is so poorly maintained. Would not return or recommend.

Was a beautiful property nice beach although the stairs going down to it were dangerous they need to be rebuilt also bbq tanks were empty cost me 40 dollars to get a tank One of my friends stepped on a fastener going down steps it went through his shoe and into his foot overall it was a great stay

Pros: Beautiful sunsets. Great beach. Large Yard. Large upper deck to hang out on. Open Kitchen. If the price was lower, I could look passed some of these other things. The cottage has a lot of potential. Cons: Organization - The day we were to arrive I called for the door code and one of the questions asked was “How long are you staying?” This was a red flag… On the Thursday of our week, a second family from Scotland showed up! They had booked it 9 months ago. They had a wedding the next day and had no where to stay. Double booked. Cleanliness: Sand in beds (were they even cleaned?) Down stairs bathroom was not cleaned at all. Rugs could use a good cleaning. Kitchen needs deep clean. Odd smell in the lower guest room… could go on but I won’t. Things to know if you are looking to book: Stairs to beach are treacherous - missing sections. Two people in our party could not safely enjoy the beach. We were told that the upper area is meant for 18 people, I would say it would sleep 14 comfortably. No storage for your clothing - the owner uses every drawer to store things. There is one full bathroom up stairs, the second one is barely useable and the sink was not hooked up. - Shared space with laundry so if you are over 6 feet you can’t sit on the toilet. Finally I would say that because it is listed more than once with different pictures, descriptions, prices points it is deceiving and extremely difficult to know exactly what you are getting.

Family had a great time at the cottage. 16 of us including 3 children. -enough sleep spaces without the ground floor (which I knew we would not get after speaking with host) -1st floor bath has toilet n shower only, main is full -enough towels, bedding, toiletries etc. -all appliances inc. tv, wifi, A/C worked without issue except BBQ ignitor, which we got to work using a lighter found in kitchen drawer -some indoor amenities listed that were not there: fireplace, fitness room/equipment, wood stove, pool table, ping pong table, foosball. Few kitchen chairs were not sturdy. -would be nice if window sills were cleaned (there were a lot of dead mosquitos and bugs) -backyard was very beautiful and spacious. had lots of fun there. beautiful sunset -no issues getting to beach, not recommended for elderly or people with lower mobility issues -water/kayaking was good. Watch for random big rocks when entering water. Can't play catch due to rocks -jacuzzi not avail., no heated pool, or bikes
