About the host
Hosted by Oleksiy Vakulin
I’m a hands-on host from Ontario who enjoys creating comfortable, memorable spaces for others to relax and recharge. Outside of hosting, I run my own business, love staying active, and spend time exploring nature. I take pride in offering a clean, well-maintained property that I’d personally enjoy staying in, and I’m always happy to answer questions and help guests have a smooth, stress-free stay.
Why they chose this property
I chose this location because it offers the perfect mix of peaceful nature and easy access to vibrant beach life. The area is safe, friendly, and close to both the energy of Grand Bend and the quiet charm of St. Joseph’s Beach. Whether you’re into sunbathing, local dining, trails, or just unwinding under the stars, this neighborhood has it all.
What makes this property unique
It’s the perfect blend of cozy charm and modern upgrades. From the spacious backyard with a firepit, sauna, and volleyball setup to the smart interior features like LED lighting, fireplaces, and ceiling speakers—it’s designed for relaxation and fun. Whether you’re planning a family trip, a couple’s escape, or a getaway with friends, this place checks all the boxes.
