Our Happy Place
Our cottage is located on Elm Avenue in the Restricted Area. In the Restricted Area, your car has to be left at the parking lot at the entrance to the area. Parking is about $16 per week, and passes can be purchased at the parking office. You can take a Beach taxi to the cottage with all of your stuff -- about $10. Within the Restricted Area, bikes and feet are the main forms of transportation, making for a peaceful, safe, old-time feel.
The cottage is a two minute bike ride from Einfeld's Bakery, the General Store, the park, the tennis courts, the Victoria Beach Golf Course, and a three minute bike ride to the VB clubhouse and beach and most of the other beaches. The cottage comes with two kayaks for your enjoyment along with life jackets; always use a life jacket and stay close to shore. There is also a ping pong set up in the double garage.
The cottage has three bedrooms: one with a queen bed, one with two full bunk beds and one with a single loft style bunk. There is also a couch in the living room that folds down. Each bed will be made with clean sheets and bedding when you arrive, and there is a spare set of sheets and extra blankets for each bed in the dressers.
It also has a wood-burning fireplace, a full kitchen stocked with everything that you'd normally find in a basic kitchen (see list of items below), a barbeque with propane, running municipal water (potable), a 46 inch flat screen tv with a DVD player (no other TV service but DVDs can be rented from the general store in June), a sun room with a table and sofa and a chair. There are also lots of books for all tastes - kids, adolescence and adults - plus lots of board games (teens and adults) and toys. Wood is available at the store if our supplies have been depleted
The bathroom has a toilet, sink, shower, and hot water tank, towels and face cloths, and a basic first aid kit. There is also a supply of beach towels, beach toys, emergency sunscreen and bug spray, candles and emergency flashlights.
All you really need to bring are your clothes, your food, and your own bikes, if you want them. We have many old bikes both for adults and kids as well as a chariot, as well as a child bike extension for kids.
There is no land line, but there is cell service, and there are land lines available nearby in an emergency. The store has wifi, but the cottage doesn't.
We have excellent neighbours!
