Jan 14, 2018 #### A quirky house but suited our needs really well (3 families, lots of kids). A quirky house but suited our needs really well (3 families, lots of kids). Upstairs rooms best for kids as the stairs have very low head-room. Lots of off-street parking - we had 5 cars and 2 boats and all fitted inside the gate. Easy walk to beach and boat ramp. Nice big dining table seats 10+. Thanks very much. ##### Duncan S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Hamilton-City-Center.h4478409.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Montreal by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-InterContinental-Montreal.h10019.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Turkmenistan](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turkmenistan.d11411.Hotel-Destinations) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-New-York-Midtown-Manhattan.h5862121.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Atlantic-City-Hotels-Ocean-Casino-Resort.h5558306.Hotel-Information) > > [Arc The Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Arc-The-Hotel.h9493.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Palm-Springs-Hotels.s50-0-d180676.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Silver Creek Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Silver-Creek-Lodge.h2459395.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Airport.h30073492.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oswego Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-The-Oswego-Hotel.h1576536.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott London](https://www.expedia.ca/Corbin-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-London.h19367731.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Orangeville Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orangeville-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Orangeville-Inn-Suites.h1612985.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bloom Mississauga, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Bloom-Mississauga.h74035472.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/dfw/delhi-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Fort McMurray (YMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/ymm/hamilton-to-fort-mcmurray) > > [EVA Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/EVA-Airways-Flights.cBR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to San José (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sjo/vancouver-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Prince George (YXS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yxs/calgary-to-prince-george) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/amd/toronto-to-ahmedabad) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yyc/kitchener-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bagdad (BGT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bgt/toronto-to-bagdad) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Buenos Aires (EZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/eze/st-johns-to-buenos-aires) ### Cruise > [Royal Caribbean Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-Caribbean-International.cRC.Cruise-Line-Info) ### Activities > [Things to do in Vieux Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Vieux-Fort.d178203.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Lake District National Park Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-District-National-Park.d11370.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals > [Fogo Island Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Fogo-Island-Vacation-Rentals.d3000469800.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Kanazawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanazawa.dx9299)
