Fall Golf Getaway

The house Itself is great. Perfect for the five of us and nice to have three bathrooms. Appliances and furnishings were above standard. The covered and screened-in porch off the dining room was excellent, especially during rainy periods. Communication with the host was prompt.

Place is pretty much as described. There were a few things missing as per the description, however very minor. Great place was nice & clean, beds were comfortable. Short walk to a beautiful beach as described. Also items like the paddle board was a nice bonus. Would definitely stay there again

Fun in the Sun!

This was our second time staying at this property and we will definitely be back. The house is well-equipped and has plenty of room for our family of 7. The location can't be beat - a 3 to 5 minute walk to the beach!

Off season so we planned on playing quite a few games. Brought our own but played a few of the games at the house too. Lots of natural light and close to the beach.

The best cottage ever

Our group was mesmerized by the exquisite beauty of this cottage, which undoubtedly ranked as one of the most stunning ones we have ever visited. The skylights and the remarkable kitchen were a sight to behold, while the layout and arrangement of everything were flawless. Additionally, the abundance of games and activities available made our stay even more enjoyable. The screened-in porch was another standout feature of this perfect cottage, which was conveniently located near a secluded beach with warm and welcoming locals.

Perfect for Families

This house was exactly as depicted - modern and spacious and a three minute walk to the beach (two minutes if you take the stairs at the end of the street)! Every amenity you could think of was at your fingertips. Plenty of room for everyone to gather together or seek some private time. Our sons enjoyed the Nintendo Switch, the games room and the big screen projector. My husband and I really enjoyed the Primary Bedroom retreat with it's beautiful ensuite washroom. Natural lighting floods the upstairs. The beach was lovely and so private! During weekdays we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Our host, Gary, was attentive and helpful and this made the entire experience very pleasurable.

Hidden Gem

We stayed for 10 days and loved it! The cottage has been recently renovated with all the modern touches. Short walk to an incredible beach and quick drive/bike to the town of Kinkardine. Projector was a hit with the little one. Would highly recommend staying and Gary is a very responsive host.

a dream vacation house!

Truly a beautiful place to stay in Ontario. Gary and Emily’s home was so clean and so beautiful. In the morning you can hear the birds and in the evening you can see the Milky Way. The hosts equipped us with all the information we needed and were accessible whenever we needed them. The town is also filled with magic and is surprisingly POC friendly. We can’t wait to visit again.

Canada Day Weekend in Kincardine

A beautiful house in a lovely neighborhood only 5 minutes walk to the beach. The House - Beautifully appointed with upscale finishes. The ensuite bathroom is just spectacular. Natural light bathes the entire main floor. The beds are super comfortable and the house clean. Kincardine has so much to offer, so much to see and do. The Beach - what more can you ask for. A glorious sandy beach that is never crowded. Beautiful blue waters of Lake Huron. Swim, kayak, Heaven! The Host - Gary was the best. Check in and out was a breeze. He is friendly and helpful. Knows all the good eating spots and where to possible hear bagpipes as the sun sets. Gary was super responsive to queries and made our stay that much better. We will definitely be back.

Beach Weekend

This was our first time visiting Kincardine. Gary and Emily have the most adorable beach house and that too in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood. The nearby beach is super clean, with clear water and not crowded at all. We ordered in from Bruce Steakhouse, recommended by Gary. Good food and super cheap compared to big city prices. My friends and I had a lovely time. Gary is a great host, he’s friendly and very responsive. We cannot wait to come back!
