This house was perfect for our family of seven. The kitchen had everything we needed for breakfasts and lunches in. The nautical decor is tasteful and fun. An easy walk to shopping, restaurants, night life. We especially enjoyed renting a pontoon boat and cruising the St. Lawrence. Alex Bay’s season was winding down-we liked the smaller crowds.
A wonderful property in a wonderful location! Louise and Court were great hosts and super helpful. We rented the property for my dad’s 60th birthday and it was perfect. Highly recommend!
Upon arrival we were met by the homeowner in person to explain a few things and she was available throughout our stay for anything we needed. The house was just as described and very clean & cozy yet had enough room to spread out. The beds were comfortable, which is always a plus when renting so I always try to comment on the beds for others! We had a truly enjoyable time celebrating the nations 250th birthday here & watching the fireworks right fromThe back yard!
Great place in the heart of Alexandria Bay. Walking distance to all restaurants and shops. Hosts were very accommodating. Definitely recommend staying here.
Rented for a high school friend getaway. A lot of overworked women ready to laugh relax and chill. This house ticked all the boxes for with everything. Location and as amazing we walked everywhere. Court and Louise were the best and very prompt in responding. Can’t wait to book again!
Stayed with group of friends and house was great in great location able to walk to town and view and outside fire pit was thoroughly enjoyed! Had everything you need and very clean. Would definitely go back and Louise was very nice and helpful.
We will definitely be returning to paddles on the porch. The location is excellent and the house itself was perfect for our group. Looking forward to rebooking for Summer of ‘26!
This was the ideal spot for our family. Our 7 year old could fish right off the dock! There was plenty of space both inside and out. There was a great patio and outdoor fire pit! This home was walking distance from to the restaurants and shops! Best get away ever!
We had a great time the house was a bit larger than I expected and it has a great boat dock we put to use. We will definitely be checking in again if we head up your way.

I enjoyed hosting Angela and her husband along with their friends at out cottage. Would love bed to have them back anytime and would highly recommend them for any person whom rents out their home.
Paddles on the Porch is a perfect location, beautiful views and walking distance to everything in town. The house has great vibes and was nice and clean. It has everything you need for a longer stay... we didnt need to bring anything but ourselves, fun and food. It is very well equipped and the hosts were great! We wull definitely return 🥰
Overall this is a great property! We were able to tie up our boat for the weekend and walk right up to the house. Everything was clean and well updated, views from the property were second to none and it's an easy walk to downtown. Highly recommend!
Great hosts and location make this place. Excellent communication and easy check in from the start made us feel welcome. The house was built in 1863 but has been updated for all the modern amenities. Very clean and comfortable. The outdoor deck and fire pit area offer a great view of the bay and Boldt castle. Docks are well kept and protected from wind and traffic, easy in and out.
If you are searching for a cozy, spacious, all around comfortable home to vacation at, look no further! Paddles on the Porch offers a deck with spectacular views, enclosed porch w/ fun bar and plenty of seating, close walks to golf course, church, mini mart, bars, lots of restaurants, tour boats, public beach, parking. So much fun!!
Thus is our 6th time at Court and Louise place and as always it was perfect! Looking out to see sunset over Boldt castle is awesome. Kitchen is well stocked for family dinners!! Beds are super comfy!! Love this place!!
