We had a great stay at the cottage - it was super clean and provided everything needed for our stay with many small details such as extensive bathroom toiletries, an extremely well stocked kitchen, a binder with lots of information about the area and some snacks to enjoy. As this was my first booking with VRBO I was happy that the pictures in the posting were a true reflection of the cottage. I would definitely recommend this property. Lisa, the host, was great at communicating on the app.

Anniversary Getaway

We had a wonderful time on our anniversary getaway. The cottage was beautiful, comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. We loved being so close to the water and immersed in peaceful nature. It was truly lovely.

Nice anniversary getaway

My partner and I were looking for a place to spend the weekend for our anniversary, and amongst payment issues and schedule changes, Lisa was incredible. She was flexible, accommodating, and lovely to communicate with. Now maybe we should have done some more research on the area, because it was quite buggy (we picked the wrong time of year), but other than that we had no complaints at all! Very close to a beautiful beach and a quick drive to groceries, restaurants, and hiking. We would definitely recommend staying here if you like no fuss comfortable accommodations.

A little Piece of Heaven

If you are escaping the city, this cute cottage is the place to go. Lisa goes above and beyond as a host. The place is nicely kept and great for a family to chill for a weekend. I endorse this as a great place to unwind from a tough work week.

Spring Birding at Point Pelee

Excellent location to Hillman Marsh and Wheatley Harbour and just far enough from the park to be quiet. Good birding along the road right at the cottage. Summary: comfortable and quiet - perfect for us.

Great little gem

The Birds Nest is a lovely little cottage that is immaculate, well maintained and well equipped with pretty much anything you'd need to enjoy your stay. At this time of year (Labour Day weekend) the birds, crickets and frogs singing provided the most amazing soundtrack for relaxing and sleeping!

Look no further for a comfortable, clean stay right by the beach!

This was our second time staying at the birds nest.. it was great the first time but has improved since! Lisa is so friendly and a great host - she goes above and beyond and truly thinks of everything to make your stay that much more enjoyable!! Her communication is amazing.. the place is also a literal 3 minute walk to a very private beach where we spent most of our time. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back as we start our family ☺️☺️

Accommodation for Bird Watching at Point Pelee and Hillman Marsh

The Bird's Nest cottage was an ideal location for our 4-day bird-watching trip to Point Pelee National Park and the nearby Hillman Marsh thanks to its proximity to both sites. The cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood a five minutes walk from the Hillman Beach. Everything we needed to make our breakfasts and lunches was available in the well-appointed kitchen; a variety of dinner options was available in nearby Leamington. The cottage comes with a season pass to the Park for the use of (and a substantial saving for) guests.
