Terrific place very close to the beach

4goten Toronto, Canada
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We (my family and some friends) enjoyed this cottage Aug/09. Brian was very helpful and made sure that everything was OK. We found the cottage to be better then we expected with plenty of room for all.

The cottage is really a few blocks away from the beach, a short 5 min walk. The beach is the best I have seen in Canada. Loads of things to do around the cottage.

We enjoed the cottage and plan on returning in the coming years.

Poor customer service

M.G.W. Millgrove
Review Submitted: September 16, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
I rented this property in August 2008 and left it "in the condition in which it was received" and did not have my security deposit returned to me. As a result I will not rent through the internet again. I would not recommend this property, as the owner has treated us most unfairly.
I do not expect this review will be posted, though I feel that whoever is Webmaster of this site should be made aware of this. Sadly it has been a very, very negative experience.
Owner's Response: In response to this review.This family rented this property in Aug./08.The property was left in satisfactory condition.The one area that this renter failed to disclose is that they erected a tent on this property.The discription of the property states clearly that it sleeps 10 and that there is no tenting.The renter violated the by-laws of the town of Grand Bend and they also violated our agreement regarding occupancy.We have other cottages that would have accomodated a larger group and we would have been pleased to have rented them one of these at a higher rate.We as renters want to respect the town of Grand Bend and the other residents.Many people in Grand Bend have complained about other cottages that have many more people jammed in them than is safe and the problems that occur because of that.We will not be a part of that situation.As for this renter,they got caught and have had to pay the price for that.I would like this review to be posted and those that read it be the judge of who was treated fairly and who was decieved.

A Great Week

Listowel Family Listowel Ontario Canada
Review Submitted: September 16, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The "Old Fashioned Retreat" was much nicer than the pictures let on - a great mix of luxury and "cottageness". We really enjoyed the firepit each night, but also soaking in the huge luxury bath! Everything you might need is there, including the air conditioner, the absolutely fantastic barbecue, and lots of extra chairs/room so everyone can comfortably spread out. And my teenage daughters found the location perfect: 1 block from the main drag and only 5 minutes to the beach. We probably enjoyed too many smoothies! It was clean, pest free, and Brian was easily available for any questions. You won't be disappointed!

Great Spot!

Gaily Kitchener, On.
Review Submitted: August 28, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We loved the cottage, it was a perfect location and very well appointed - warm and cosy but not overdone. Bedding was lovely too.
Perfect for extended family as lots of living space and storage.

We can't wait to go back!

Great place in Grand Bend

John/Ruth Indiana
Review Submitted: August 20, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our family had a wonderful time at this pleasant cottage in Grand Bend. The house has four bedrooms conveniently arranged around a spacious living/dining room, with a charming kitchen and a wonderful patio area (with BBQ, firepit and plenty of porch chairs). We had no problems with parking and enjoyed the proximity to downtown stores and, of course, the beach. Contact with the owner was pleasant -- good communication regarding amenities and expectations. Our only complaint was the rowdy beer bash next door to us on Friday night, but they quieted down by midnight and it seemed to something limited to the weekend. We would definitely recommend this cottage to friends!
