About this property
The NEST-an upscale beach cottage in Holiday Beach Conservation Area
Recently renovated to provide an upscale and memorable experience including an expansive resort-styled deck and covered dining area. The Nest is ideal for couples, girlfriend weekends or families. This property is the only cottage within the Conservation Area, with no adjacent lodgings as well as direct access to a wide sandy (shared) park beach. The modern design is optimal for two adults and up to four children, or 5-6 adults. Everyone will enjoy getting together on the large deck with plenty of dining seating, gas barbecue, conversation area and nearby fire pit. The interior includes modern conveniences such as a smart television and a full-size gas range and fridge. Luxurious bedding is provided for adults and fun kid-friendly bedding is available for our younger guests. Girlfriend groups will appreciate the Tommy Bahama all-cotton bedding and spa towels. We only use cotton bedding for adult bedding setups. Beach towels are provided at one per guest on request.
The cottage now includes pantry items such as spices, oil and vinegars, coffee (and bean grinder), tea, pancake mix and syrup. We do stock the fridge with shared basic condiments that are provided for convenience and are not refreshed until supply is exhausted. Use to your own comfort level, property host accepts no product liability.
The Nest sits in the heart of a mature Carolinian forest, in the Holiday Beach Conservation Area and is steps away from Lake Erie's sandy beach. Holiday Beach is globally recognized as an important bird area and park amenities include walking trails, boardwalks, a fishing pond, a 40 foot viewing tower overlooking the Big Creek wetland and large picnic areas. The park is conveniently located close to splash pads, mini golf, wineries, historic sites and many restaurants.
