Wonderful Spot for a Girls Getaway

We stayed two nights at the Kayak Cottage with a lovely group of girls and it was a wonderful stay. After a small check in snafu, things were cleared up quickly and we were able to enjoy the lovely location and the beautiful home. I would highly recommend staying at this location if you can!

Weekend Fun

This cottage was wonderful! A perfect space for 2 families with children. We loved the kayaks, bikes, large community spaces and comfortable sleeping arrangements. We would highly recommend this VRBO and hope to return. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking all our meals, the BBQ was large and the basement was a great hangout space for kids. The cottage was clean and looked just like the photos. We enjoyed the hot tub and very large back deck space. A beautiful beach was within walking distance, which we loved.

Beautiful tree canopy, with fall colors to enjoy. Great covered area to play darts, and a great screened in dining area as well. The house was roomy with great lay out so different groups can vary their activities. The downstairs games room was a hit with the kids, as was the hot tub.

Perfect family get together place

The house was spacious with multiple sitting areas and great bedrooms. It was extremely clean and very welcoming. The owner had provided more than you could hope for in a vacation home. In the garage there were kayaks, bikes, sand toys, etc. that everyone could enjoy

Family vacation 2024

Jaysen’s & Judy’s Kayak Cottage is simply amazing. We went with my son and daughter-in-law and our two grandkids. The property is exactly as advertised with much much more. Spacious (the grandkids called it a mansion) with lots of room to spread out. Beautiful private beach just a hop skip and a jump away with sandy beach and crystal clear water. Beach toys, umbrellas, kayaks and bicycles all provided. Board games, numerous activities for all ages in the lower level. Beautiful oversized deck and hot tub. High end bathrooms and a big beautiful kitchen with everything you need. Beds and linens were top notch quality. Hosts were very attentive and immediately answered any questions we had. This cottage is truly a hidden gem. We would give it 10 out of 10 stars if we could.

a weekend in paradise

My husband and I have stayed at various locations through VRBO across Canada and the USA. We must say that this cottage rental was extreme. Everything and I mean absolutely everything was thought of. This high end rental at a very affordable price was a great find! The cottage was exactly as described. Fully equipped kitchen, bedrooms, water sports equipment, bikes, hot tub....all as described. Jaysen was a pleasure to work with. He answered inquiries promptly and accurately. He was awesome. The cottage provided ample room, and everyone was extremely relaxed. The rec room downstairs provided lots of activity to keep everyone occupied. Ping pong, basketball, air hockey, golf, movies and of course a full side arcade game with 10 different games. This cottage was everything you could wish for and more. 4 days wasn't nearly long enough to enjoy this beautiful space. I give every category 5 stars, only because I cannot give them 10. We will be returning most definitely. Thankyou Jaysen - you made this an awesome experience for me and my family.
