Spacious cottage w/ All-season 8-seat hot tub; firepit, games room. Sleeps 8-10

This bright, spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage offers a serene getaway in a picturesque landscape. With a large outdoor firepit, plenty of patio space for BBQs, and a host of amenities—from ping pong and air hockey to board games and a classic movie collection—there is so much to enjoy during your stay! Plan a games night with family and friends, share stories while roasting marshmallows by the fire, take a stroll under a beautiful starlit sky, serenaded by the sounds of nature, or pull up to the starlite drive-in theatre just a few blocks down.

With three bedrooms, including two queen beds, and a bunk bed (double bottom and single top), our cottage comfortably sleeps 7 adults. There are two spacious sitting areas with TVs (main level and basement), a large pull-out sofa bed and a cozy futon, as well as a furnished office to accommodate any work-related needs; free WiFi, cable TV, and washer/dryer access included. Situated on a corner lot with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy a game of badminton, volleyball, or basketball (equipment included). Extended driveway can accommodate 4-6 vehicles.

A short 7-minute drive brings you to Grand Bend's main strip, including one of Canada's most prestigious Blue Flag beaches, and a variety of restaurants, shops, and nightlife destinations. Enjoy a swim in the dazzling clear blue waters, a romantic night out on the town, or a fun-filled day of adventure with your little ones.

Just over 10 minutes away is Pinery Provincial Park, a breathtakingly beautiful park and picnic area with 10 km of sandy beach, and scenic biking/hiking trails to explore. Enjoy the sunsets, which have been ranked by National Geographic as among the “Top 10 Best in the World”!

During Spring/Fall/Winter months the fun continues thanks to our newly added 8-seater dual jet beachcomber hot tub. Situated under a Gazebo with a winter cover as well as optional mosquito/bug mesh screen and weather-proof curtains, you are sure to enjoy a comfortable dip any time of year with whatever level of privacy you prefer.

Ladies Weekend
Just a few things that need to be addressed. The beds are horrible, hard as a board made for terrible nights. The hot tub jets were not in working order as well had no privacy as the curtains did not zip. Zippers broken. Had to supply our own toilet paper which you would think would be included in the price. Now the games room in the basement was beautiful!

Anniversary stay
We had a great time at the cottage. Everything was clean and tidy. We enjoyed playing ping pong and we loved that there was laundry facilities available as well. We would definitely love to go back.

A great spot to spend time together
We rented for two nights to have a quick beach weekend with the family before we say goodbye to the summer. The place was great, lots of room for everyone to have their own space, but also lots of common space to bring everyone together. Less than 10 minutes from the main beach and all of the amenities you will need. Also quite close to the Pinery for a quieter beach day that costs less than 3 hours of parking by the strip. Many thanks to our hosts!

A Little Slice of Heaven ✨️
Title: A Fantastic Stay with an Exceptional Host! I rently had the pleasure of staying at a vacation rental booked through VRBO, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From start to finish, our host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. I would just like to say congratulations on the new member of there family ..... Yes thats right, the communications with our host was seamless even during the bith of there child. With quick response to our inquiries and provided detailed information about the property. Their warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the immaculate condition of the property. It was clear that our host took great pride in maintaining a clean and well-appointed space. The accommodations were exactly as described in the listing, if not better. Every room was tastefully decorated, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. From the cozy living area to the fully equipped kitchen, we felt right at home from the moment we stepped through the door. What truly set our experience apart, however, was the exceptional hospitality provided by our host. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Whether it was a bunch of flyers sugesting local restaurants,and tips about nearby attractions, their thoughtfulness and attentiveness were truly amazing.
