| We had a wonderful week at this Cottage.
The cottage is well maintained and the location is perfect. Walking distance to everything.
The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything ie. frying pans, utensils etc. that you would need.
We were able to view the cottage before we made the reservation. Lauire was very accommodating and answered all of our questions.
Even though Pierside Bar is one street away it isn't overly loud. It was nice to sit outside on the deck and/or picnic table and listen to the music.
The newly renovated bathroom is wonderful and includes a new glass walk-in shower, vanity, toilet and floor.
We are returning again this Labor Day for a girls extended long weekend. We have had been going to Port Stanley for girls' weekend for many years and last year (2024) was our first stay at this cottage and we are overly excited to spend many more Labor Day weekends at this cottage in the future.

| This rental was very satisfying. The cottage is very clean which starts things off right. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, the neighborhood quiet during the week and lively on the weekend, and a large private back deck to relax on. The location is ideal! Laurie was a is attentive host. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us.

| My family and I have been renting from Laurie and Rich for the past 4 years. We have always stayed 2 weeks at a time and have even booked for 2022. They have always been great to deal with and respond very quickly.
One of the main reasons we started renting from Laurie & Rich was because my family was needing an allergy free, pet free and extremely clean cottage to rent which also has 3 bedrooms. Some of my family members have various allergies, so these were key factors for renting a cottage. The cottage has a very private back area which is great, but the big bonus is the proximity to the beach. We are looking forward to the newly renovated bathroom next year. We would highly recommend renting from Laurie and Rich.

| The perfect getaway, beautifully renovated cottage that is very close to the beach, restaurants, and pubs. We were 2 adults, a 13 yr old and twin 9 yr olds and had plenty of space. We visited parks and walked trails that were within 20 min of Port Stanley. You can easily walk into town from this cottage (we were unable to due to the lift bridge under construction)
Laurie and Richard were gracious hosts. They checked in to make sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. They shared places to visit and their favourite restaurants which were all fantastic recommendations.
We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to rent Bess in Port again.

| Beautiful newly renovated home, has everything you need, very close to beach and a short drive to the all the shops. House was clean, felt very comfortable based on all the current health guidelines. Great host who checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
