Great location within walking distance to the beach, marina, trails, playgrounds and splash pad. Backyard is small and could use some sun coverage. Inside is fine, if you don’t mind stairs. Lots of bathrooms, which is great for 10 people, however the eating/living area is small for 10 people. ##### Kathryn S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lyse B. 24 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness Nice big property with a lot of space. 5 min walk to the beach. Restaurants, grocery stores, etc 5-10 min driving distance. Communication with the owner was great. He was very responsive to issues that we had.Unfortunately when we arrived, the air conditioning wasn’t working; finding out later on that it was broken. Like stated above the owner did respond and go above and beyond to make the best he could for that situation. Inside needs a lot of attention to detail. It was noted that there is a cleaning service but it was hard to believe that somebody even came. Things like vacuuming, cleaning of windows ( inside & out) were clearly not done. The beds were not made properly and most of the beds did not have the proper sheets.For the price paid those things should be done and should be verified that it is done properly. If things change me and my family would love to come back. ##### Lyse B.

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Elena B. 14 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! Port Elgin beach is wonderful and close by. The beach and restaurants uptown were easily walkable and pleasant. The food was very good everywhere. The kids loved the waves at Sauble Beach and the amazing bike trails, the most . The house itself is a strange and awkward design but served our purposes. One complaint I have is the lack of towels and sheets for all the beds. My opinion is that for this price those things should be included, as no one wants to haul that around on vacation especially for a large group of people. ##### Elena B.
