Never pay a cleaning fee! The Northern Lights may be a much more common occurrence. No place better to observe than the western side of Pelee Island! Welcome to the sun dappled deck of Dockside B in the hub that is the West Shore of Pelee Island. Close enough to walk for a snack at Pelee Coneheads, an afternoon Caesar at Westview Tavern or a craft beer at the Stone House 1891\. A quick bike ride will get you to the Pelee Island Heritage Museum rich with the history of the early settlers or spend an afternoon singing along and dancing to the live music offered on most weekends at the outdoor Pavilion at Canada's largest private estate winery, aptly named the Pelee Island Winery . Dockside B is conveniently nestled in the midst of it all. The accommodations offers a sunlit filled living space with 2 bedrooms, open concept full sized kitchen with a massive dining table. The deck and front yard fire pit afford a view of the "Key West like" sunsets or "dark night" atmosphere for star gazing. So please come for the ice cream but stay for the sunsets and the Big Dipper! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121680000/121673100/121673027/74ff08b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### South Shore Cottage With Lake View Pelee - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=121673027&PinnedHotelID=121673027&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101110000/101104400/101104322/13f70e49.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Amongst Friends Cottage Pelee Island - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=101104322&PinnedHotelID=101104322&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100680000/100678200/100678145/w1125h848x0y4-961e3f36.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### East Shore - Lake View Cottage - Pelee Island Pelee - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=100678145&PinnedHotelID=100678145&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96560000/96554800/96554706/d40047cd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Nature Wakes, You Rest".

She wanted to make sure we had everything that was needed. The cottage was within waking distance to the ferry, restaurant and winery. We got a 6 person golf cart to travel around the island. Such a perfect relaxing couple of days. The only thing that we should have done was to book for a longer stay. Next time we'll book with Dawn and come in the fall. ##### Neil W.

Our host was very accommodating and very helpful. Location is beautiful, proximity to the ferry and “downtown” was great! Our only pet peeve was the fact that because we drove onto the ferry we didn’t get sheets on the bed. We got pillows, pillow cases and blankets, but no sheets. We learned that if we had walked on, the host would have been nice enough to give us sheets, but because we drove, no sheets were provided. We were advised this was standard (which I don’t think is the case). But for $550 for less than 24 hours, I would have expected sheets, and clean patio furniture. We were hoping to use the patio space to relax but we needed to wipe everything down before we could sit outside. Other than that, while the hose was amazing and pretty accommodating, just remember to pack your own sheets. ##### Trefor S.
