The room was filthy, the shower had carpet on floor and rafter boards overhead, cob webs everywhere including bathroom mirror, dirt under bed and couch. The door did not open smoothly but stuck, the property wasn't really accessable, the picture looks like it was on the lake but was beside sidewalk and busy road. I went to enquire at the house when we got there about the bunkie and was met by a woman who appeared bothered by my asking about the bunkie znd was told, " it's right there, the door should be open and thats all that was said. Empty beer cans greeted us in the driveway when we arrived. This place really sucked.

The property was very basic and the condition was poor e.g. tears in couch fabric and bedding covers, blinds didn't cover the windows, too many faults to list. The place was dirty, with cobwebs, dust ... The towels provided were threadbare and had holes. There was no shampoo or soap for the shower, no dishtowels ...

Bunkie near Point Pelee

We booked on short notice so we could participate in the Rice Moon freighter canoe tour that night at Point Pelee. Communication with the owner went smoothly and the place was sweet: simple and nice furnishings, clean and very spacious. It needed a bit of an air out when we got there but all else was very good. :)

Good location

The location is excellent. The rental was clean. The host is very responsive and polite. The water views are spectacular, we enjoyed watching the sun set each night after our days activities. This location is minutes from Point Pelee National Park and also the ferry to Pelee Island. If you like to golf, the course right across the road is very well kept. We really enjoyed it, Know that you are renting a renovated garage, and that’s totally fine, just know that for your expectations. We might suggest bringing an extension cord, the outlets are in odd places. If you are fussy, bring your own towels and bedding, it’s basic, but it works. To summarize, it’s a No Frills, affordable place to stay with good, friendly hosts. We would stay again.

A Place to Sleep

Although the building appeared clean, there is an issue with ants, specifically on the kitchen counter. The outdoor sitting area is overgrown with weeds and the Muskoka chairs were not at the property. The wifi wasn't working.(my partner needed this for work) Conor responded promptly to my message regarding this however it was late in the evening before he got the issue solved & returned the chairs. There were a number of staples missing from the kitchen. (cutting board, bottle opener). The sheets didn't fit the bed, they were "bally" and the mattress protector was ripped, preventing the sheets from staying on the mattress! This building is located very close to a busy street, quite noisy in the morning and afternoon. This area is spectacular with loads of beaches, Pelee Island and Point Pelee National Park. We spent very little time at the VRBO.

Getaway bunkie

This is our 2nd time at this rustic bunkie on Lake Erie for our Birding getaway at Point Pelee. The accommodations are in a great location and just what we need for 2 people for a few days. We take our own pillows & towels and essentials. We enjoy recapping our day sitting by the lake with a glass of wine. Connor the host is accommodating & friendly. We have already booked for 2024

Don't stay here

Pros: Pet friendly Early check-in Cons: AC didn't work Couch was dirty (crumbs and pet hair) Ceiling fan had thick layer of dust Cobwebs on ceiling Dust on coffee table/boardgames/chairs Garbage cans were dirty Rusty cutlery Stovetop was dirty Blinds were broken and didn't cover windows Screen missing from window Toilet handle fell off No shower head Hole in floor by toilet Sharp screw heads in shower stall Weeds on patio Outdoor chairs were dirty Please note: Conor (owner) advised me that the "bunkie" would be cleaned before our arrival. It wasn't clean. My husband and I spent 2 hours cleaning it upon our arrival. We hate to complain so we didn't mention this to Conor. However, we did contact Conor about the air-conditioning not working as it was unbearable. My husband and I both suffer from allergies and asthma. We tried troubleshooting the ac. It still didn't work. Conor advised us to open windows. This doesn't help someone that suffers from seasonal allergies. Plus the screen was missing from the window above the bed. We told Conor we might have to leave as we were having a hard time with the warm temp in the "bunkie". Our dogs were also suffering because of this. Conor didn't respond until check-out. He sent us a text saying he assumed everything was ok as he didn't hear back from us. He also said the ac worked fine for him. It doesn't work. Unfortunately, when we booked there hadn't been a review since May. It's so important to leave a review. We go on vacation to relax and enjoy ourselves. Conor doesn't care about customer satisfaction. He did zero to make this situation better. VRBO needs to be aware of situations like this. It isn't fair to the client to pay these fees and not be able to obtain a refund if the renter is not following the proper guidelines. A hotel/motel would've been a much better option in our opinion. Don't stay here.
