Newly-Renovated, 3-Bedroom Cottage + Bunkie, Steps to Private Beach, Grand Bend!
Welcome to William by the Water!
Our newly-renovated, 3-bedroom, 1 bath cottage, plus brand new bunkie, just steps from the community's gorgeous, private beach is available for rent year round. Sleeps 8.
The cottage offers so many spaces to stretch out and relax, from a huge sunroom with comfy furniture, board games, ping pong table and big screen TV, to a backyard that includes a fire pit, BBQ, outdoor dining, hammock, tree swings and lawn games. The cottage has parking right at the front door, free wifi, a chef's kitchen with brand new appliances, and an outdoor shower, all to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible.
Our gorgeous, sandy beach is the perfect place to spend the day lounging in the sun (beach chairs and sand toys provided!). Just a 2 min stroll from the cottage, the beach has an easy entry, with pebbles out to a fabulous sand bar. It's agreeable for all ages! Swim, play or float around in the cool waters of Lake Huron, walk along the shore or just sit and enjoy one of Ontario's best sunsets.
Just 6 minutes north of Grand Bend's main street, the cottage has quick & easy access to all of the awesome stuff to do in the area. Check out the fantastic restaurants, craft breweries & wineries. Play golf or mini putt with the kids. Catch your dinner on a local fishing charter. Go parasailing for a bird's eye view of the coast. Hike at the Pinery Provincial Park or shop your heart out at the nearby flea market and quaint little shops in Grand Bend and Bayfield.
William by the Water is the summer spot for fun, rest and relaxation. Your family will make some incredible memories here.
Weekly rentals only during the summer months, Saturday to Saturday. Ask us about monthly rentals in the Spring and Fall.
Sorry, due to allergies we don't allow pets.

The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. It was very homey and welcoming and we enjoyed ourselves very much and would book again. Close to the beach and shops for browsing in. Very delightful place to spend time in and relax.

The cottage is a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway.
It was clean, and comfortable.
Nice surprise that the bbq was hooked up to gas so no propane needed.
Kyla & Paul were quick to respond and helpful.
Can't wait to plan a future weekend at their place!

May long weekend
Loved the house and the private beach!!. My only suggestion would be a few pans that would accommodate the 6 person max. (Like a hot plate or skillet for breakfast cooking)
