Joe and Christina’s place is beautiful and very relaxing. They have thought of everything to make sure their guest have all that is needed with great supplies of towels, kitchenware, etc. They were a great host always responding in good timing and accommodating our needed request to extend days.

6 Jan-Feb Discounts! Lakefront/Hot Tub!

SuzannahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
You can watch Eagles!! My husband, the eagle fanatic, was absolutely in awe of the natural surroundings and the amazing views we had from the home... a bottom deck and an upstairs deck off of the master bedroom! Also, the beds were super-duper comfortable and the kitchen and master bathroom were incredibly spacious!

Waterfront home with amazing views & great fishing

TerryRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The stay went very well. There are multiple options for fishing and places to launch a boat. I would definitely recommend this for a vacation for with all the activities to be had in the area. We encountered friendly people in the area and with shopping and restaurants close by it made our time there a memorable one.

Stunning views at St Clair Blues | Hot Tub | Kayak

AnneRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This home was perfect for our girls getaway. There was so much room to accommodate all of us. The house was well equipped with everything wee needed. The hosts were great. Our visit was the weekend after Labor day. Many of the local establishments have limited hours after the holiday. Plan accordingly. This did not have an affect on our stay, but did change our daily plans a little.

Nature valley Cottage

RakeshRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Charles place was really huge with lots of outdoor activities that can be done. We enjoyed a lot with friends and family. This place is for sure a summer airbnb where you can play outside. Best part was it had all the amenities mentioned in the description, we were able to play snookers, table tennis and other games. Only recommendation would be to carry a Chrome cast/Fire stick to connect to the tv. Charles has setup an amazing TV room but only has cable network. Since it's in a private secluded area, the tap water is a little greasy.

Tracy is an excellent host and the place was really neat with lots of beautiful scenery. A nesting bald eagle nearby was often in view. This peaceful home away from home was fantastic for me and my pups

Cottage on the water. New Renovations. King Bed.

SamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We have stayed at the cottage several times but this was the best of all! May has updated and renovated the cottage with fresh paint, a new sectional sofa in the living room looking out to the beautiful view of the lake out back, new lighting, and other new furniture & furnishings. The king size bed is huge and so comfy, we slept great! We will always stay at the cottage when in the area.

Carolyn's Cottage, quiet and cosy!

KurtRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Hands down one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed at. Jill and Terry’s home is situated on a beautiful tract of land, surrounded by the best nature Pelee Island has to offer. The swinging bed on the screened in porch makes for the best place to take an afternoon nap. All in all 5 stars!

KristenRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We had a great stay while in town visiting family! Jessica was very nice and helpful throughout our visit. The house was clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located near food, local attractions, and our relatives. The yard was perfect for our fur baby to enjoy. We’d definitely book again if we’re in the area!

"That 70's Cottage" (on Lake Erie!) Free Firewood!

SteveRating, 5 stars1 week ago
“That 70s Cottage” was the perfect choice for a quiet long weekend getaway. As the cottage is pet friendly, my spouse & I brought our two cats who were able to enjoy the vacation with us. The location is prime with a beautiful view of Lake Erie right out of the front window. We would absolutely recommend booking this unique & cozy cottage to anyone, as we will surely be rebooking. The hosts are incredibly kind- even offering a later checkout time on checkout day- which was a wonderful bonus. Thank you again Bill & Megan for the wonderful stay! Cheers! Briana & Steve Johnson

SuzanneRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Another great stay! When the weather didnt co-operate we checked out the local wineries and had an amazing lunch at Coopers Hawk. Golfed at Kingsville Golf and Country Club that was just 5 minutes up the road. We had fun kayaking in the waves and campfires on the beach! Thanks again Jeff!

Creekside Cottage - Waterfront fun steps to beach!

PaigeRating, 5 stars2 days ago
This place was great! We went for my husband's birthday and we loved kayaking and walking to the beach. We made s'mores at the fireplace and sat near the dock in the morning to have coffee and tea. Lots of cute fish, birds, bunnies in the area. We can't wait to come back to Kingsville and we would stay here again!!

Lakefront Getaway

YicongRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Sandra’s house is absolutely a perfect place to stay for anyone visiting the area. The views on both sides of the house are breathtakingly beautiful. You will have the beautiful Lake Erie on one side where you can sit by the water and enjoy the sunrise or on the other canal side you can see turtles and so many beautiful birds and enjoy a equally stunning sunset. The house itself is extremely clean and equipped with everything we need. It is also very close to the Point Pelee national park or the ferry terminal, and so many other nice places for you to explore. Communications with the hosts are very smooth and highly recommended this place to everyone

Once Upon An Island - lakefront cottage rental

AnishRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great two-night stay at Joan’s Airbnb “Once Upon an Island”. I was a bit concerned at first about staying on an island with limited access to stores during the off-season, especially with our baby who was under two months old. But the house had almost everything we needed, and Joan was quick to respond to all our questions. It’s a perfect place to relax—the lake views and the surrounding little islands are absolutely beautiful, especially when the weather is nice. The price was also very reasonable. Highly recommended!
