About this property

Sandcastle Cottage on Osoyoos Lake - prime location in complex, family friendly.

*Minimum 6 or 7 night stays may be required during peak season (July/Aug)*

Make memories at the Cottages on Osoyoos Lake, a family-friendly, gated community. Warm and inviting, Sandcastle Cottage is the perfect family destination.

A fantastic spot in the complex, where you can walk to everything (pool, hot tubs, gym, playground, beach) in minutes. One of the few Ambrosia plans with an open, airy, true cottage feel.

Our cottage is stocked with all the little things so you can pack less and have an easier stay. A home away from home.

The complex has everything you need for a perfect vacation. Spend the days soaking up sun on the private sandy beach complete with volleyball courts and a small playground. Take a stroll on the paths in the complex or a dip in the heated pool. There’s even a toddler pool for the little ones. At night get cozy by one of the beach fire pits.

Interested in getting out and exploring? The Cottages are minutes away from dozens of local wineries, and popular hiking trails. We are nestled between the towns of Oliver and Osoyoos. Only a fifteen minute drive in either direction to both town centers where you will find local coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and more.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our family had a wonderful time at this property. It is a beautiful home and was well stocked with everything needed. Although we don’t have small kids, it would be especially great for families with small children. Everything you need and then some. Very close to the pool, which we loved, and a small walk to the beach. Looking forward to a future stay!

Wonderful Stay!

This property did not disappoint. The house is very cute and comfortable and very well appointed. Well beyond most rental units, from random condiments to pancake mix, it was so easy to have a very welcoming and comforting stay. This was our first stay at The Cottages and the facility is very lovely. A little bit off the beaten path but easy enough to pop to town for dinners or exploring. We rode our bikes from the property into both Osoyoos and Oliver. Highly recommed this property.
