This is the holy grail of cottage rental. A sandy beach where the kids can play safely, and a shallow walkout into warm and calm water. And, from the feedback I get from renters, it ranks highly on their list of ‘must have’ criteria. But how do you find that very special cottage that not only has the ideal waterfront, but has all the other bells and whistles that make your vacation idyllic?
Here’s some ideas from our portfolio. We’ve inspected all of these so if you have any questions just give us a call:
Paradise Lane Cottage is located perfectly right on Georgian Bay, yet just 15 minutes from Parry Sound. The owner has renovated this year to add another bedroom and to upgrade windows and floor coverings, giving a very pleasing interior. It’s the beach that will provide the magic though. Soft sand leading into a warm shallow water. The kids will love this cottage that sleeps 8 and costs $1450 per week.
We have limited availability in Holinaty Harbour Cottage on Whitefish Lake near Parry Sound and it’s usually snapped up quickly. There is just one week left this summer at this great property which has the benefit of shallow water from the beach area, and deeper water at the boat house. Inside the cottage is a joy as well, with lots of pine and cedar, comfortable furniture and a great little kitchen. Previous guests have loved it and we are sure you will too.
Brechin’s Sunset Cove is a delightful property on the eastern shore of Lake Simcoe, just 20 minutes south of Orillia. This is an ideal cottage for families with young children as the water stays shallow for 100 metres so they can safely splash about near the shore without the worry of them getting out of their depth. An added bonus at this cottage has hi-speed internet so you get the benefit of not only being fairly close to the city but also have contact with the office (if you must!).
There is grass almost to the water’s edge here so not a vast expanse of sandy beach, but I’ve included it because of the shallow water. At just $1150 per week, it’s great value too.
With a south facing outlook, flat lawns for playing ball and the sandy beaches of Lake Ontario right on your doorstep, you can’t ask for more than Great Lake Getaway. This neat cottage sleeps 6 and the owner welcomes your pet too. And with the white sands of Presquile Provincial Park a walk away, you’ll be spoilt for choice as to where you want to spend your day. This great cottage is yours for $1150 per week.
