If I could give six stars, I would. A perfect quiet getaway. Steps from the beach. A bit buggy, but that's nature. Would 100% consider booking again, especially after checkout was extended to give us time to enjoy the beach on a day with beautiful weather!

The hosts had amazing communication, their response time was always within 10 mins if we had any questions. The space is super clean, great AC and they even provided coffee and shampoo / conditioner as well as lots of extra towels and clean bedding. I’d definitely stay here again. Their backyard is great with its own private fire pit as well. There is access to the beach just down the road which is awesome. And just a 25 min drive to Port Dover with shops and a beach. Thanks for such a great experience!
