It's A Shore Thing Cottage

The space is clean and bright. This house has relaxation written all over it. You are not far from grocery stores, LCBO and restaurants; but why go out when you can stay in and cook in the full kitchen or BBQ on the back deck.

A fenced backyard is great to keep your family safe and within eyeshot. Amazing view of Lake Erie out front and through the large picture window that is in view from the kitchen, dining room and living room.

The mornings display spectacular sunrises while the evenings present beautiful red skies on the horizon. Star gaze at night with minimal light pollution.

• Lake access via stairs across the road from the cottage property. There is an unobstructed view of the lake from the front of the cottage and community stairs on the other side of the road to access the sand beach. While the beach is owned by the county, there is no parking nearby so it is only used by the small cottage area nearby.
