We had a wonderful time at Paul and Elaine’s cottage! The place was very clean, well appointed, with lots of outdoor space. The beaches are a short walk / bike / drive away. Would definitely recommend!

So many thoughtful touches in the home, beach towels, games, smart tv’s etc.I definitely recommend this cottage!

My husband and I and our two kids and grandparents had an amazing time at this cottage. It was spacious and very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed and there were lots of fun indoor and outdoor games to play. The beaches were awesome. There is a sandy beach about a 10 min walk and Balm beach is 20 mins away. We enjoyed both. Paul and Elaine are very responsive and answer any questions you have asap. Overall it was an awesome place to stay and I would visit again.

This cottage was very clean with lots of space for the whole family. We loved the fire pit and all the little beaches that are in the town of Tiny. Lots of activities in the backyard for everyone to have fun with, the axe throwing was a big hit with my little one. Loved watching the woodpeckers and the chipmunks while drinking our morning coffee. The owners were very responsive with all of our needs. Thank you for having us and hope to be back soon!!

Paul was very communicative at every step of the way--a must for someone like me that was traveling internationally to stay! My trip was with a small group of friends looking for a relaxing, quiet getaway and this was the perfect cottage for that. The kitchen is well-equipped, linens and pillows are plentiful, the property is well-maintained, and there was a binder and booklet with information about the area and rental.

Our stay was overall amazing. The cleanliness, the layout, the amenities provided were excellent. Even the little things like having tin foil,night lights and little extras were highly appreciated. The welcome gift and Nespresso pods were such a nice touch. We would all definitely recommend familes to stay here. Short walks to several beaches and just down the road a short drive to a lovely new park and a cute ice cream place and cafe - Cawaja General Store.The big couch was a welcome suprise for our one rainy day.Hosts were very quick to respond to any questions or inquiries and very friendly!

The ideal family cottage

Our family had a relaxing and comfortable stay, with lots of space in this bright, clean cottage, that's close to beaches. We used the BBQ and enjoyed being on the side porch, also large fire pit and basketball court.

Great location for young family!

We had two young families (four kids 6 & under) stay in Paul & Elaine's house for a week and we had a great time! The layout of the house was great (4 separate rooms), plenty of things to do in the yard provided beach toys, and the location was ideal! Only a 10 min walk to a sandy beach, with shallow/clear water - perfect for little ones. Closest town with grocery store is approximately 25 mins away and town with more things to do is 1 hour away. We enjoyed our stay and would come back!

This was my second stay at Paul and Elaines lovely cottage. As before, it was very welcoming. They had everything you could possibly need, just as advertised. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy and the family area was perfect for us all to sit and watch the Blue Jays! The fall leaves were spectacular and the smell of the leaves mixed with the northern pines incredible...I enjoyed many long walks with my dog. I must confess, I spent more time outside than in. We will be back again in the summer! Thank you for sharing this lovely property :)

Excellent stay with our young family (two children 5 years) and my in-laws. Space is as advertised, very clean, comfortable beds, responsive hosts, and excellent location. It was also nice to have a functioning washing machine, given that we were travelling with young children. I would definitely return! My only suggestion for future guests would be to plan ahead and bring drinking water. It is possible I missed instructions on this ahead of time, but the drinking water is not safe for consumption (beyond dishes, toothbrushing, etc.), and there is no reliable supply (no functioning water cooler). We did not plan for this and were only travelling for three days with everything we needed, so it meant someone had to run an errand the day after arriving. Otherwise, perfect trip!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had an excellent stay and enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, location, and amenities. It's especially nice to know that the washing machine was helpful while travelling with young children. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the drinking water. Information about the water supply is included in our welcome package under the Amenities/Appliances section, and a water cooler is located beside the microwave for guest use. For future guests, we will also be sure to clearly note ahead of arrival that they may wish to bring or purchase additional drinking water based on their needs and length of stay, so they can plan accordingly. Thank you again for your kind words and valuable feedback. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Warm Regards, Paul and Elaine

I don’t know where to begin, my daughter and I had such a lovely stay. I’ll start with the beds…wow so comfortable! The open concept with the sectional sofa and the Smart TV made relaxing so enjoyable. They had every amenity you could think of…having a latte each morning was a great way to start our day. The beaches were a short walk from the cottage. Paul and Elaine were very responsive before and during our stay; however, a cottage manual was provided with all the information you could possibly need. We will definitely be coming back!!

Peaceful Family Getaway – We Loved It! The property was spotless and spacious, with enough rooms to comfortably fit our whole family. The location was ideal—close enough to the beach for easy walks, yet tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood with friendly neighbors that made us feel welcome.The beaches nearby were clean, though some were a bit rocky. Luckily, we chatted with some locals who recommended Cove Beach—it was absolutely perfect! We were also provided with two parking passes, which made it super convenient when we decided to drive to the beach.The owners were fantastic—responsive to every question we had, both before and during our stay. Their attentiveness really made a difference and added to the overall comfort of our trip.We loved it so much, we even started thinking about moving up there someday—especially if the kids decide to come along. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and memorable family vacation!
