About this property
Purple Finch Long Point Rare 3 Bdrm Beach Condo
The purple finch represents the important attributes of joy, appreciation, positivity and optimism, and this is evident in our luxury condo. We want those attributes to be felt throughout your stay. This is a luxurious MAIN FLOOR 3 bedroom condo, with 3 bathrooms (two ensuites). Each bedroom has a flat screen television. You are literally steps from the private beach. Enjoy a glass of cold wine or a hot coffee on your large patio, while enjoying the most beautiful sunsets in the world
Although, Long Point is known for it's gorgeous beaches; the Purple Finch Condo is perfect all year. This condo is located in The Long Point Beach Club. It is warm and cozy and feels like home. Enjoy the roominess of our corner unit condo, with 3 bedrooms and a pullout couch in the comfortable living room. Good news for allergy sufferers there is NO carpet in the unit.
It includes a chef's kitchen, and space to eat and work from home, while feeling like you are on vacation. Enjoy the barbeque on the beautiful roof top deck or back patio, while staying warm by the fire pit.
For boaters, the marina is just steps away with access from a gate for guests.
A spacious patio is connected to 2 of the bedrooms and the living room with private views of the lake and sunsets, so you can enjoy the outside, even when cuddled up in the warm bed or on the comfy couch by the fireplace.
We have a WASHER and DRYER in the condo for your convenience.
High speed WiFi and satellite T.V. are included, so this is the perfect place to "work from home". We have Netflix and Amazon Prime so you can binge your favourite show, when you do not want to enjoy the outdoors. We also have a PS4 and a selection of games for those rainy days.
Although you have a private beach with the warmer Lake Erie waters, if you want to access the public beach, it is less than a kilometre away and Long Point Provincial Park is a quick drive away.
Your visit includes a pass to the Long Point Provincial Park (from May - November), so you can make the Purple Finch your launching pad, while you enjoy days at the Park.
This is paradise for bird watchers as the Long Point Bird Observatory is just minutes away. The stately swans are waiting to model for you, and if you are lucky, you may have a sighting of our name sake, the Purple Finch. There have even been recent sightings of pelicans.
This is the area where people who love fishing will catch the "big one"! The fish are waiting for you.
Enjoy the local wineries, shops and restaurants of Port Rowan, and finish it off with some delicious ice cream from one of our local shops.
For the adventure seekers, there are Long Point Eco Adventures, kayaking, boat trips, cross country skiing and even winter bike riding. https://www.norfolktourism.ca/gonorfolk-winter-fun/ For the golfer in the family, the golf course is less than 10 minutes away.
Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to us, we follow a five-step enhanced cleaning process, which was developed in partnership with experts.
We want you to feel like you are at home with everything you need. If we missed something, please let us know.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE: As this is our "home away from home", we may ask for some details about your group's plans to ensure that this is a good fit for you, us and our neighbours.
This is not a serviced building, so we do not have staff onsite. So, please ensure that you clean up after using the BBQs, beach and patios.
Smoking of any kind is prohibited by our guests within 10 feet of any windows or doors. Despite this, this is not a non-smoking property, so you may smell smoke in the common areas.
The water is filtered and safe to drink, however, it sometimes has iron in it, which can cause a slight taste. It may be slightly discoloured, which can be seen in the toilet sometimes. Please also be aware that if you use the washing machine, the water can sometimes leave a rust colour on whites, due to the iron in the water.
There is one parking spot available per unit. There is free street parking on Erie Blvd. Boats and trailers are strictly prohibited from being parked in the parking lot.
Lake Erie can be unpredictable, so please exercise caution when entering and swimming in the lake, as the waves can bring in sticks, rocks and debris. At our beach, it is rocky entering the water, but about 8 feet out, it has a sandy bottom. Long Point Provincial Park has a sandy entry.
Although, we would love to host pets, our family has severe allergies, therefore pets are not allowed. If a guest brings in a pet, they will be asked to leave without a refund and will be charged an additional cleaning fee.
Please note that lost keys and park passes will result in a charge of $40.00 and $100.00 respectively. Please ensure that they are returned upon checkout.
There is a camera that overlooks part of the parking lot.
If you have questions about the area or any local businesses, please feel free to ask. This is a wonderful area and we love to boast about what is nearby.

Thank you for staying with us. We enjoyed hosting you.
We had such a lovely stay at the Purple Finch. The condo was very clean and the owner was very helpful - providing lots of little extras like coffee and a provincial park pass so that we could visit for free. The private beach is lovely and the whole area is perfect for a quiet place to get away from it all.

Thank you for staying with us! We enjoyed hosting you! We hope to see you again.
It was great! Clean, and better than the pictures. Helen’s communication was perfect, with lots of detailed instructions and information about the area. The coffee pods, spices, and extra emergency toiletries were appreciated. Thanks!
The home was so clean and well equipped, the beds were all comfy and we really appreciated all of the provided items - especially the coffee. The location was great for our 4-day golf holiday being within 30 minutes of several golf courses. The only thing that could have been better was the weather (stormy end of May)! We didn’t have any problems or issues with the home, but we knew that the owners could be easily contacted if anything came up. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This was our 3rd visit and our first with the whole family. This condo is huge and allowed us all sorts of space inside and out to be together or on our own. The private beach was handy and made the stay that much more enjoyable with none stop beautiful lake views. We’ve stayed at other cottages in Long Point but they pale in comparison to the comfort and the amenities of the Purple Finch.

Thank you Curt!! You were a joy to host as always. We hope to see you again soon.
Helen
This condo is fabulous - extremely clean and was stocked with everything we needed including lots of little extras for the beach. Helen, the host, is great with communication, information, and is quick to answer any questions. The only negative was there is a bit of road noise since the road to/from Long Point is right in front of the condo, but the other perks well make up for that!
This is our favourite vacation rental property yet! The beds were super comfortable, the furniture is newer and stylish (and comfortable). All the little things were here - the Keurig machine, the Nespresso maker, nice wine glasses, dishwasher, electric fireplace, fast wifi, nice linens and towels included - it's far and away the nicest, easiest and most comfortable rental place we've ever stayed at. Helen, the owner, is super friendly and responsive. We've already rebooked for another stay and hope to be back again in the near future for another winter getaway.

Thanks Curt! You were a pleasure to host and left the condo in great shape. We are looking forward to hosting you again.
The condo was nothing short of lovely. Decor lovely. Beds and furniture comfortable. Great layout. All amenties you could need - wagon to take to beach. Lots of towels, bedding, cutlery dishes etc. Nice porch on ground level with chairs and table to dine. Helen was a great host. Responsive, helpful and accommodating. We will be back. The only thing we didn't like was 10 oclock check out. Would have preferred and extra hour similar to hotels and other accommodation.

HI Jodi, thank you for your review and for staying with us. Your family was a joy to host. Also, thank you for your feedback regarding our checkout time. That time was determined in consultation with our cleaning company, in order to ensure that the condo is cleaned, sanitized and prepared for our next guests who are checking in that same day. I will happily, however, reassess with the company at the end of the season and see if we can find time saving tactics to add on that extra time. We really do appreciate the feedback, as we are always looking for ways to improve. Hopefully, we will see you again, with a little extra time for checkout. Take care and stay safe. Helen
My sister, brother, myself and our spouses enjoyed a wonderful peaceful stay at the Purple Finch. Helen was a delight to work with from start to finish. So accommodating and thoughtful. It was a wonderful reunion for our family. The condo is appointed with an eye to every possible detail. It is so welcoming from the moment you step inside. We ate each of our meals either at the picnic table on the patio ~ steps from the kitchen ~ or on the rooftop terrace where there is a shared grill and tables with a stunning view of the Lake. We did have one meal out; and that was at David's Restaurant in Port Dover. A very pretty setting and thoughtfully prepared and presented food with a grand view of the Lake.
So, if you are a lake person that enjoys stepping back and taking a deep breath ~ Helen's condo is the right place for you. Do not be shy to make a reservation here!

Thank you! You and your family took wonderful care of our home and were a joy to host.
Close to the shore of Lake Erie, and well-placed for trips to Long Point, the Bird Observatory, Backus Woods, and other nature spots. Nice big kitchen, a little cramped at the dining table if you're not able to eat outside, beautiful views right out onto the lake, really nice rooftop patio. Recommended.

Thank you so much! We enjoyed hosting you. Hope to see you again.
We had an amazing time staying in this very nicely done apartment. It was very clean and had all the amenities you would want for a weekend stay. The owners provide a nice basket of things that could possibly be missed when packing such as chargers hand creams etc. Communicating with the owner was very good. She have lots of information about the place and the surrounding area. Overall our experience was excellent and would recommend to anyone considering the place.

We were a group of 4 and really enjoyed our stay in this cosy property overlooking Lake Erie. Helen was a really responsive host who provided us with clear instructions and sufficient details prior to the trip. The place was well maintained with spacious rooms and a nice view. We would definitely recommend the stay.

We were impressed with the quality of the condo and it's amenities. We appreciate the attention to detail and comfort. The view and access to the waterfront were special.
A wonderful holiday, very relaxing. Worked well for my 88 year old mother as there were no steps. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Clean, well appointed.
