This is a lovely little cottage for a family getaway in Port Dover. The place was clean and well stocked, and perfect for our family of four. Teens had to share a smaller room which was fine for the shorter duration (4 nights) but might have been challenging for a longer stay. The place is close to the main area of Port Dover, easily walkable if that is the preference. Instructions from the owners were very clear and owners also sought feedback on any improvements. Appreciated tv and internet access along with the washer and dryer. Recommend this cottage to others.

A wonderfully spacious rental in an excellent location. Very clean and well thought out with all the ammenities. Everything in the unit was well explained in addition to their book of information. It was also very nice to have the added bonus of a gas bbq and laundry. Huge backyard for playing outdoor games as well as beach toys for children. You'll need to bring your own beach towels, but all other sheets and towels are included. We loved to sun room at the front for breakfast. I would certainly book this rental again in the future.
