Sandy Shores Retreat

Welcome to our custom lakeside retreat. This newer home has custom wood work and all the amenities you need. Located on the shores of Lake Erie at Cedar Bay one of the nicest beaches in the area. Our cozy cottage has four sleeping areas, one and a half baths and an expansive living open concept living area. Note this home has a second home on the property that has two units in it, one is that is a vacation rental and the other has a long term renter that uses it occasionally. They are completely separate but do share the private beach. 

All of the comforts of home are here including dinnerware, cookware, linens and towels, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher. Complimentary WiFi is available along with satellite TV. Start your mornings enjoying coffee in the front screened porch and kick back in the evenings with a cocktail around the fire pit.

With a screened in lower porch to enjoy evenings and an upper open patio for relaxation there is plenty of space to enjoy.

We are three story style living providing plenty of room for large families or two families travelling together with a maximum of 6 adults with younger children. Please do not request to book if your group has more than 6 adults as we cannot accommodate it.

Layouts are as follows:

Bedroom 1 – master bedroom top floor (sleeps 2)
Sleeping Area 2 – double bed in hallway nook on top floor (sleeps 2)
Sleeping Area 3 – 2 double beds (new mattresses fall 2022) with single trundle on lowest level (sleeps 5). This room is open to the staircase to the lowest level.
Sleeping Area 4 – Queen pullout sofa in a separate room in the lowest level (sleeps 2)

The 2 acre lot has a front house and a back house with plenty of room for all and ample parking. This is the back house and it must be noted that guests may be in the front house at the same time. The private beach is shared with the front cottage guests but it is a large beach with plenty of room.

With stairs down the the private beach this is a perfect vacation spot if you are looking to get away from it all. November 1 - March 31 the stairs to the lower part of the beach are removed to prevent them from being washed away in winter storms. If the weather is not cooperative the stairs may be removed into April. There is beach access a very short walk to the west of the property available year round.

Please note Lake Erie cam be unpredictable, the water and beach can change frequently so we cannot guarantee favorable conditions. (Firepit and direct beach access is available in peak months of May to October only - there is another access to beach 2 minutes walk away that is available year round)

Only 450 meters from Humberstone Centennial Park which offers public amenities including a playground and washroom facilities. The Sugarloaf Harbour Marina is a quick 15 minute drive.
