About this property

Charming lakefront cottage steps away from a sandy beach in Port Elgin!

Charming, quaint lakefront cottage on beautiful Miramichi Bay in Port Elgin, Ontario, a 30-second walk across the road to the beach at the Bay. The cottage is also a 5-minute bike ride to the main beaches in Port Elgin and Southampton. During the day, lay on the beach, kayak, SUP and swim. At night, curl up with the family on the expansive deck to watch the amazing sunsets (and if you’re really lucky, the Northern Lights). The cottage also backs on to the Woodland Trail for beautiful hikes and bikes in the woods. Pets welcome! Update Spring 2025: the water levels this Spring look low right now, and with a shallow beach in front of the cottage, guests may have to walk out a bit on the sand to get to deeper swimming and paddling. The swimming and paddling is still great!

Loved being right across the street from a sandy, quiet beach with a beautiful view of the bay from the deck. The cottage was very comfortable and it was nice that all bedding and towels were provided. There’s a great walking/biking trail in front of the house too thst goes right along the water to Port Elgin. We had a wonderful stay!

Close to Everything

We didn’t really realize how close we would be to both Southampton and Port Elgin. It was perfectly situated. The kids played with some toys and games, and mum and dad enjoyed the sunset. Overall we had a blast and there isn’t anything that would prevent us from renting again.
