Great stay!

We came to see the spring birds and explore. The house is very close to Point Pelee Park. Watched a completely unobstructed sunset from the fire pit the first night. Explored local restaurants, made breakfasts at the house. The kitchen had all we needed. House exceptionally clean. Beds were very good. Walks through the park were perfect; found rare migratory birds, were followed by pairs of turkey vultures, climbed the Tip Tower, walked the boardwalk with not a soul in site, found endangered turtles and also the cactus that grows at the 42nd parallel!

Sunset

We stayed for 2 nights at this wonderful location. We really lucked out with the weather for this time of year. We took advantage of the local sights and wineries and then would return to the house to watch the sunset and have a fire. A very enjoyable experience and our host was very accommodating

3 nights on the lake

Great place for a family! This stay was sandwiched between 2 hotel stops. The view of the lake and the sunset were awesome! Having separate bedrooms for our family of 4 was a great way to give everyone their own privacy. Kitchen appliances/utensils were fully stocked and linens were great! Thank You!

An amazing place to create beautiful memories and take in the beauty of nature.

The location is perfect. You can easily spend time making memories without leaving the property, or a quick drive/cycle or short walk to Point Pelee NP and hours/days can go by exploring, or a number of other fun options for families like go karts and parks or adults can golf/wine testing. The cottage is so cozy and well laid out, the view is accessible to all in the cottage, beds and furniture are so comfortable. linens and towels high quality. kitchen well stocked. you won't be disappointed booking here! Gabriella is very responsive and helpful!

Great place, beautiful lakefront cottage!

We stayed for 4 nights and had a great time. We took a few day excursions, once out to point pelee national park (a few minutes away), once out to point pelee island (1.5 hours by ferry) and once out for a tour of a winery. The cottage itself is very well equipped - we were able to make large meals. The washrooms were great - good water pressure.The view from the backyard is beautiful, especially during sunset. We had a fire each night. We left something behind and Gabriela was kind enough to mail it to us. We also requested a later checkout and she was able to accommodate it. Highly recommend this cottage!!

Enjoying the fall migration at Point Pelee

This was a perfect location for our group of six seniors who came to Pelee for the fall migration. The home was lovely with plenty of room to spread out and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. It was very clean, kitchen was well equipped, outdoor seating was ample and right at the edge of the lake. We enjoyed campfires on 2 of the evenings we were there. Would recommend staying there and will book again if we are in the area. Communication with the owner was excellent! The only thing I would recommend is to put up towel rods in the bathrooms or on the back of the doors in the bedrooms. There was no place to hang our towels!

Wonderful, well appointed home, right on the lake and very close to Point Pelee Park

The home has everything you would want for a week away - kitchen with all the tools and glassware you could want (and a dishwasher), a large dining room table, beautiful and comfortable living room area, comfortable beds (even the bottom bunk bed), and modern spacious showers (two full bathrooms!). The outdoor space is beautiful, great Muskoka chairs, including two loungers, and while we didn't take advantage there is a large fire pit which would have been beautiful, right on the lake. We saw two great sunsets from the deck! Everything was clean and tidy and the host was both informative and responsive.

Family trip

The three of us enjoyed 2 wonderful days at Waterfront Oasis. We were out exploring most of the time but when in the cottage we enjoyed watching the birds through the large windows, sitting by the lake and by the fire in the fire pit at night and talking around the big table. Very cozy.

Fabulous, impeccably clean house with wonderful personal touches at a perfect location on the water next to the national park.

We are back again at this amazing house, so clean and comfortable. The views from the living room out to Lake Erie past the personal beach firepit area are spectacular including the sunset views. Personal touches in the house and kitchen make the stay feel like home. It is so close to Pelee National Park and local restaurants. A gem of a place and we plan to be back over and over....thanks for another great vacation!

What a lovely place

What a lovely place! A true home away from home. We stayed here with my fussy 80-yr old mother whose jaws dropped at how well kept and beautiful the house is. The proximity to the National Park and the lake in your back yard are a huge plus. Nothing tops the sunset over the water however. A lovely and peaceful place to relax with the family.

Awesome week

We love this cottage, 2nd time to visit. Everything we needed was provided. We'll stocked kitchen. Lots of towels, etc. Great view of the lake as we enjoyed dinners. Coffee in thr sunroom, also looking at the lake. The yard is lo Ely with 2 big trees for shade, or, enjoy the sunshine and sit by the water. A park pass allowed us to visit at least twice a day, so handy for walks, biking and kayaking. All in all, a great week and comfortable place to stay. Thanks Gabriella.

Time Loop - We plan to visit Sunset by the Bay every summer

It was our best stay experience. We never thought a cottage could be so cute and well organized. Location: 5 out of 5 (one of the best locations in Canada) Amenities: 5 out of 5 (all great quality appliances, bathrooms are well organized, all sofas and beds are from the best sides) Kids friendly? 5 out of 5 (lots of story books, board games, nice bunk beds, big backyard to play, big TV, great internet, nearby play zone and ice cream shop ... what more they need?) View? 5 out of 5 (views from the bedrooms and living room are amazing, lake, a great experience to see the sunset) Host? 5 out of 5 Cleanliness? 5 out of 5 Parking? 5 out of 5 What you will like? Everything What you may not like? When you leave the property. Am I writing too much? Actually, I am writing too less. The cottage and the host deserve all the praises.

About the host

Hosted by Gabriella Colasanti

I purchased my first rental in 2017. I have always enjoyed being near and in the water. When I purchased my first property I knew I needed to share it with others. That lead to the first rental, Sunsets by the Bay. After a year of meeting some wonderful people, I purchased my second property. I continue to grow my love for welcoming others into Leamington by managing others lakefront properties.

I love hearing what brings guests into Leamington, and helping them to choose some adventures while they're in town.

Book with me and see the difference!

Why they chose this property

When I first saw this property, it had everything I was looking for. Recent updates, spectacular sunsets, and of course, waterfront.
When you walk in, it feels like a home away from home. The cottage feels of the wooden walls, and large windows facing the water make for the most peaceful getaways
