Wonderful spacious home!
We stayed at this home with a variety of age ranges from baby - adult. This home was very spacious and allowed for everyone to have their own space and were not crowded. The home was very clean and had so many basic amenities which was very helpful! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. We appreciated the individual AC units in the rooms so everyone could set their own temperatures. Only about a 10 minute walk from the main beach which was very convenient. Large backyard for our family to enjoy the sunshine, BBQ and have a fire. We really enjoyed our time here! :)

Relaxing getaway
Enjoyed the cottage very much! Teenage kids loved being close to town to go for walks and having their independence. Beach was a short drive, loved the sandy entrance for the water, no rocks. Cottage had lots of space, fit 8 comfortably. Loved the outdoor space, spent a lot of time on the deck. Thank you for a wonderful week, we hope to be back next year. Thanks Darlene

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean and neighborhood was quiet. Nice to be fairly close to the beach and the downtown. My only complaint was the bbq was disgusting. Who ever was there before our visit left it a mess. But overall was a great week 😀

Great location, not for people with allergies
Great location, mid point between the main shopping street and beach. House is stocked with everything you could need. Nice back yard and deck. Unfortunately I didn’t realize that allowing pets would mean dog hair and smell throughout the house. Also there is a very strong odour of mildew in the front entry and front bedroom. People with allergy sensitivities beware.

We were very impress with this cottage. It was extremely clean. There was a large deck and a very large back yard. The interior is very spacious with plenty of room. We could not have asked for more. I would recommend this cottage and will rebook as well.

Better than expected in several aspects
We stayed in this home last week and loved many aspects. Clean! Excellent Air Cond, Wi-Fi, Netflix, Amazon Prime Large bedrooms and huge upstairs bathroom Well stocked kitchen. Fabulous deck with nice furniture, huge umbrella, new BBQ Perfect for families. Huge fenced yard. Quiet, residential neighborhood (unlike the cottage areas that are nearer the beach) OK, Yes, the downstairs 1/2 bath is small but big enough for most folks. We used it often. Yes, a 10 minute walk to the beach along a tree lined tree; a bit steep so most folks drive. Lots of parking at the beach. One Note: As with all century homes, the stairs are steep; these also take a turn halfway up. Be sure to use the handrail. The price: excellent value in our opinion for a house of this size. Not fancy, but clean, comfortable.

Déception mais bien situé et belle cour et patio
Lave vaisselle brisé, propriétaire le savait, aucun rabais ni empressement à régler le problème durant la semaine. Toute la vaisselle dans les armoires était sale, même avec restants de nourriture dans les assiettes. Les divans du salon et chaises de salle à manger étaient tous tachés, on devait les couvrir pour s’asseoir. Par contre, lits confortables maison bien située, très belle cour arrière et véranda, grand rangement devant la maison pour paddle board etc.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Advertised as steps from the Beach. It is not but rather requires a drive to beach. Extremely intrusive neighbours as this is not a Cottage but rather a House in a Residential neighborhood. Old Cottage poorly updated. Very musty smelling. Grounds are unkept.Main floor washroom is smaller than a phone booth. For the price this place is a rip off for sure. Owner does not respond to questions posed. Very disappointing stay. Would never return. Terrible rental!

The four large bedrooms, large dining room/ family room sitting area and large fully equipped functional kitchen were excellent for the family . The huge backyard with deck, table and chairs, barbecue and fire pit was so much fun. It was nice to have two bathrooms. The fantastic location was a 8 minute walk to the main beach and a five minute walk to everything downtown We hope to rent again.

Beach Vacation
Port Elgin is a great town for a family vacation. The many beaches are beautiful and clean and the people are very friendly. The house is located on a nice quiet street, a short walk to the beach or to the main stretch in town with great restaurants and shops. The fenced-in yard was perfect for my small kids. Lots of room for the seven of us (3 kids and 4 adults). From the pictures I thought that there were only three bedrooms and maybe a pull-out couch, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are four bedrooms. Overall, a nice comfortable stay.

Great location, nice back yard, but too expensive for what it is
This rental is in a lovely area of Port Elgin, not far from the beach in one direction, and from the downtown strip in the other. The back yard is spacious and has a nice deck and BBQ. We really enjoyed the back yard and we slept well every night in the quiet of this slow-paced neighbourhood. However, we were left feeling that we hadn’t got our money’s worth from our week’s rental. Why? Well, to start with, don't be fooled by the photos and how this house is staged on-line. If you're expecting something higher-end, given the outside appearance of the house and the price charged, you will be disappointed. The value just wasn't there when it came to the inside of the house. To be fair, the air conditioning system worked well, (there is a separate unit in most rooms and they run very quietly – almost silently), but there wasn't one in the main floor bedroom (only a ceiling fan). Overall, it seemed to us that the house had been renovated in a very hasty manner; it felt like an old house with a cheap modern make-over. For example, the door on the first-floor bedroom did not fit properly and did not close at all, while the doors in the other rooms usually stuck, so that they made a loud noise when you shut or opened them. There was no screen on even one of the windows in the sunroom, which made it stuffy and unpleasant to come and go from the building. The electrical outlets in the dining room on the common wall with the kitchen didn't work, and the floor underneath the vinyl flooring was soft & spongy in several spots. We also found that the rug in the living room, under the coffee table, was dirty (it smelled like a wet dog) and the upholstered chair and couches in the living room were dirty, stained, and uncomfortable (much too soft). The place was cheaply furnished, in other words. The carpet on the stairs was filthy all the way up. We couldn’t help feeling that the focus was on making money from the rental, rather than the enjoyment and comfort of the customers. For us, this place, despite its great location, roominess, nice deck, etc., did not offer good value in terms of comfort, style, and extras. It is a real shame, because it could be so much more than it is (and should be, at its current price). However, if you are part of a group of people and your focus is primarily on the outdoors, rather than home comfort, this place might work well for you.
