About this property

Renovated Ravine Cottage | Walk to Beach | Sleeps 8 | A/C, BBQ, & Firepit

Wake up to birdsong and a private ravine view, then take an easy 5-minute stroll to the sand at Little Beach. Hillside Cottage is a freshly updated 3-bedroom retreat in the heart of Port Stanley — your relaxed, home base for beach days, harbour sunsets, and cozy nights around the firepit. With four queen beds, it comfortably sleeps up to eight, making it ideal for families and groups.

The space:
Recently updated and move-in fresh: brand-new flooring throughout (no carpet anywhere), freshly painted, and set up for an easy, comfortable stay.

1 full modern bathroom with tub and shower
Fully equipped kitchen for cooking and gathering
Bright living space to relax after a day in the sun

Stay comfortable in every season with separate heat pumps upstairs and downstairs — independent air conditioning and heating on each floor, so everyone can set their own temperature.

Your private backyard
Out back, a deck overlooks the ravine — fire up the BBQ, gather around the firepit under the stars, and let the kids and pets enjoy the natural surroundings. It's the kind of quiet you only get backing onto green space.

Delightful property close to the Centre of Port Stanley. There is a short cut down to little beach, where the kids loved jumping in the waves. Property has recently been converted into a rental so there were a few little snagging issues, but Matt was quick to resolve. Decent laundry facilities, big bbq/grill..

Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you and the kids enjoyed Little Beach — it’s such a great spot. Appreciate your patience as we fine-tune things with the rental, and I’m happy we could get everything sorted quickly. Awesome to hear you made use of the laundry and BBQ too. Would love to host you again anytime!
