GEM BEACH CHARMER

Location to the beach was perfect for us older folks and the little ones to walk to. We had to work/clean the gas grill up before we could use it but it worked fine. 4 BR and 2 Baths work well for our family. No cable or internet 😕

Good little getaway

We rented the property to be close to fishing. The parking worked well for us along with the freezer space. The inside accommodations are fairly basic, but we had everything we needed. The deck and grill was great.

Family vacation-bachelorette party- 1st bday party

We really crammed a ton into this long holiday weekend. We enjoyed the beach as a family with 3 small kids. My husband took the kids home for 1 night while I had a girls night and the following afternoon was my daughter’s first birthday party! It was a perfect place to stay. Plenty of room and lots of space to play. We made some great memories here at Gem Beach and we can’t wait to stay here again. This is a great spot!

Great family cottage on Gem Beach!

This cozy and spacious cottage was the perfect place for our family to spend another great vacation on Gem Beach. The 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was very roomy and accommodated our family plus the beautiful deck out back was great! The owner's were great to work with and we will definitely book this cottage again. Thank you Coward family!

Great stay on the lake

I've been spending time at Gem Beach on and off for over 40 years. This place captures a lot of what is great about this wonderful beach community. Short walk to the beach, surrounded by friendly families enjoying the lake, kids riding bikes in the quiet streets. The cottage is simple which makes it easy to keep it clean. Nice touches with an outdoor shower, good sized deck, and ice maker. An awesome backyard which is not typical with many of the cottages filling their lots. Wonderful stay.
