Sep 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sunset Shores Vacation Our vacation at Sunset Shores was excellent. It was outfitted with everything required for a large group and had 2 fully furnished kitchens. Great location with direct access to the beach. Close to both Port Elgin and Kincardine for all your shopping and dining needs. The few times we had to contact the host, issues were dealt with right away. Beautiful home - will definitely return! ##### Tim C. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Holiday! Our multigenerational family had a terrific week at Sunset Shores this summer - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The house was modern, clean and comfortable with plenty of room for our group of 11 people. The finishes and appliances were new and high-end, so with the house being recently completed, it all felt very luxurious. It was a big bonus for us to have kitchens on both floors so we could make downstairs the early-bird breakfast/kid zone and upstairs the "quiet" area as some of us were coming from different time zones. Being lakefront the location was amazing. The park is just a few minutes walk down the road - great for birdwatching, mountain biking, jogging or just taking a stroll. There are only a few houses on the dead-end road so we usually had the whole beach to ourselves - it felt like we were somewhere remote at our own private getaway but with the conveniences of Port Elgin only 10 to 15min drive away with supermarkets, restaurants, Walmart, Canadian Tire etc. Heather and Graham were lovely, thoughtful hosts - easy to communicate with, responded quickly to questions and made us feel very welcomed. We spent every day using the canoes, paddleboards, looking for fossils, chilling and having sunset campfires. It was a wonderful holiday! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Touchstone Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Touchstone-Resort.h37486278.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Peterborough-Waterfront, ON by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Peterborough-Waterfront.h10806.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Gravenhurst-Muskoka-Wharf.h2621805.Hotel-Information) > > [Georgian Bay Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Georgian-Bay-Hotel-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h1802744.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Inn.h35593974.Hotel-Information) > > [Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Valhalla-Inn.h25234.Hotel-Information) > > [Benmiller Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh-Hotels-Benmiller-Inn-Spa.h1881763.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickering Casino Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pickering-Hotels-Pickering-Casino-Resort.h89435702.Hotel-Information) > > [Muskoka Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Muskoka-Bay-Resort.h49036339.Hotel-Information) > > [Deerhurst Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Deerhurst-Resort.h23864.Hotel-Information) > > [Friday Harbour Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Innisfil-Hotels-Friday-Harbour-Resort.h30029681.Hotel-Information) > > [Carriage Ridge Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Carriage-Ridge-Hills-Resorts.h1177104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Thunder-Bay.h30299129.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Mosaic Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Mosaic-Suites.h35593864.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Stone Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Stone-Golf-Resort.h1590687.Hotel-Information) > > [Fern Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ramara-Hotels-Fern-Resort.h9812529.Hotel-Information) > > [The Water Tower Inn, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sault-Ste-Marie-Hotels-The-Water-Tower-Inn.h20693.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Arden Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Arden-Park-Hotel.h11525291.Hotel-Information) > > [Horseshoe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Horseshoe-Resort.h41218.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton St. Catharines Niagara Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-St-Catharines-Niagara-Suites.h2609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Valley Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Hidden-Valley-Resort.h23944.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Village Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Village-Suites.h10940024.Hotel-Information) > > [Superior Inn Hotel and Conference Centre Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Victoria-Inn-Hotel-And-Convention-Centre.h900513.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Sudbury.h19351.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Sudbury.h45671968.Hotel-Information) > > [Hockley Valley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mono-Hotels-Hockley-Valley-Resort.h9779402.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Leamington Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Leamington-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h19347.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Collingwood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Orillia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Collingwood.h52463807.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Water Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Water-Resort-And-Spa.h6986293.Hotel-Information) > > [Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Westin-Trillium-House.h1357075.Hotel-Information)
