| My husband and I have rented cottages for many years in Southcott Pines. Bluebirds Nest was the most comfortable cottage we have rented to date. Jo-Ann our host was exceptional and the cottage had all the amenities of home. Anything that we had forgotten to bring with us, Jo-Ann had at the cottage and invited us to use the items. (Variety of teas was awesome!) She enquired if we made it safely to and into the cottage and shared lots of information for things to do and see in Grand Bend. By far she exceeded what a host is required to provide. We look forward to spending another week next year in this lovely cottage.

| Jo-Ann was a fantastic host who was readily available to answer any questions. She provided directions and information before our weekend stay, that allowed us to enjoy every minute we were there. The cottage was up to date and provided many kitchen extras (delicious coffee!). We were able to enjoy many walks and discovered beautiful look outs over the water.
The house was very quiet and private, surrounded by established trees all around.

| I recently stayed at Bluebird nests as a first time cottage renter for a weekend (October 2020) and every part of it was amazing! It definitely surpassed my expectations and made my first experience at a cottage prefect! The cottage was absolutely stunning inside and out, the photos did not do justice to how amazing it really looks! The cottage was clean and fully stocked (a range of toiletries, spices, coffee, cleaning supplies, etc) with everything we needed so all we had to do was eat and relax! Jo-Ann was wonderful! she was available for us anytime with questions or concerns and also checked in on us to make sure everything was ok (Thank you Jo-Ann!) It was a chilly weekend but we made the best of it by bundling up to sit outside by the firepit for smores or cozy on the couch with the fireplace going playing games or watching TV. Walking through the area and on the trails was beautiful! The sun was out with a crisp fall breeze and everyone we passed by on our way was so friendly. I would highly recommend staying at bluebirds nest! It was wonderful in every way and I do hope to return one day!

| Our gang loved this beautiful clean spacious cottage along with its ideal location and surroundings.
The windows were open our entire stay. The waves really will put anyone to sleep.
With that sound I could have slept on stones, the bed was much more like a long hug, very comfortable.
As the day goes on you need only shift your lounge chair on the deck to stay in the shady cool breezes. The polite privacy in all of Southcott Pines shows the effort and comittment homeowners truly have while creating and maintaining this Grand Bend sweet spot. Our family really felt blessed have this week of perfect weather. We quickly appreciated the low speed limit and felt safe letting kids explore nearby. South beach was so close, and the shallow sandy bottom of Sun beach made tending the little ones worry free while we watched the amazing sunsets.
At first the peace is kind of hard not to notice at Bluebirds Nest. My hammock got alot of use.
If the fresh air doesn't send you to bed too early you may even see the resident owl that lives in the trunk of a tree on the property as it sets out to hunt. That was a delightful surprise for all.
Our host was really helpful in making sure our stay had no hicups, most of all she stayed in touch until we had settled in and was certain we would have a great week.
It really seemed there was a bit of magic for our summer kick off. Thank you Jo Anne
I am not going to take a chance at any other place. Booking again today.

| Just came home from a lovely week at Bluebirds Nest. We had a wonderful time with our kids and grandkids. The cottage was perfect. It was clean and spacious. Comfy beds, lots of dishes, silverware, pots and pans etc. Love how all rooms had there own towels.
The kids of course loved having netflix and games to play. The extra sunroom was perfect for us The grandkids stayed in there and had alot of fun We loved how close the beaches were and the yard was so nice and private to come back to and relax and have a drink.
This cottage is in a perfect spot You can walk to the strip about a 10 min walk, We even walked to No frills for a few groceries. It was one of the nicest cottages we have rented. Thank you Joann for being such a great person to deal with.
You have done a wondeful job with the cottage and wonderful person to deal with.
Thanks very much from the Hebert family

Owner response: Thank you so much Luann. My heart warms when I hear that you and your family so enjoyed their stay. What is it about the sunroom and children? My 4 year old great niece has decided that the sunroom is hers but she lets the other children play there too. Thank you for leaving the cottage so immaculate! My only regret is not being able to meet and greet you. All the best. Happy trails to you...until we meet again. Dating myself. Oh well. Sincerely, Jo-Ann | |
