A truly wonderful, comfortable and convenient place to stay during our visit to the area.

A magnificent location ... wonderful view of the lake with easy access to Point Pelee National Park and the wine route. The many items that were provided with the Bunker by the Bay made it much easier to plan, pack and travel. Definitely worth a return visit in the future :)

Excellent Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway to this quaint destination overlooking the Lake Erie, Leamington Ontario that we managed to get away to. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility compared to the daily city noise in our current city. This location had all the comforts of home!

Nice getaway

Clean and tidy place, lovely view of the lake, we visited the nearby restaurant a few times just for the convenience of the five minute walk, the owner has utilised the space and give it a modern look that is very functional but cosy.....we will stay again but a wee bit longer next time

Break from the city

The property is well maintained, clean and close to Point Pelee National Park. Two people can comfortably utilized the living space. A family pass was included in the rental for the park and this gives you access to beaches, swimming, kayaking and biking.

Cozy cottage stay for two!

We visited Pelee for an early-season bird-watching trip and had a very positive experience staying at this property. The Bunker had everything we needed, including cooking utensils, hot cocoa, cleaning supplies, and extra blankets. Gabriella even kindly included a park pass for guests to use! The lake view was unbeatable, and we saw quite a few birds (and even a mink!) from the comfort of the cabin. Gabriella was pleasant, responsive, and easy to reach. The only (expected) downside was the cold. We had rainy and windy April weather all weekend with temperatures falling to near-zero overnight. The Bunker is not well-insulated against freezing weather, and while the heater kept out the worst of the cold, it did get chilly inside at times. Didn't end up being a problem during our stay since we were often bundled up for outdoor activities and the blankets/warm drinks that were provided helped the rest of the time, but it is something to plan for if you visit during early spring or late fall. I'm sure it's not an issue during the summer. Overall, definitely a five-star experience and a place I would love to return to!

Cute little bunker

This little property was perfect to get away, relax and recharge. Located on the lake, the view is beautiful and serene. Nice and close to Point Pelee and they even give a park pass to use during your stay. The host was easy to get a hold of and we had no issues whatsoever.

Great spot. Very Welcoming

The location is nearly perfect, with the Lake Erie shoreline, crashing waves and dramatic sunsets. Point Pelee is an easy bike ride away. The cottage is sweet and comfortable, and well-stocked with essentials, ie coffee ! Gabriela is very responsive to all enqiries, and there's welcome and "farewell" messages.

Lovely

The bunker was a very lovely cottage to stay in, was a little smaller than expected but it is a good size for 2 people. My only real complaint is the comfort of the bed. It was a bit hard/lumpy which made sleeping a little uncomfortable. Still, the view was lovely and being 5 minutes from Point Pelee was a huge plus.

We had a great time again.

I have written a review about my experience many times before and continue to remember fondly. This time around my wife and I rented the bunker for 2 weeks as well as another sunsets by the bay for3 nights.This afforded us the space to have my children and grandchildren come to visit. We were able to socialize by the lake as a family and still retreat to our own quarters at end of day. We had everything we needed in the clean cottages. As usual it was a pleasure to deal with Gabriella and Kyle. We do look forward to coming back.

Our second stay in a month

How can you not fall in love with the Bunker. All the amenities you would like packed into one tiny Bunker. Yet you don't fell at all crowded. Large beautiful bathroom. Everything is placed for maximum enjoyment and comfort. Even nightlights are provided so you don't stub your toe in the middle of the night. The cabin is also clean, super clean. Amazing sunsets. Thankyou Gabriella and your team for everything. My toes thankyou also.

Why stay at a hotel.

This little bunker has all the amenities and more wrapped up in one tiny package. You feel cozy comfortable and safe here. It's everything you see in the pictures and it's incredibly clean. Couldn't wait to come back next year so we booked for next month. Awesome sunsets. 100%. 5 star all the way.

About the host

Hosted by Gabriella Colasanti

I purchased my first rental in 2017. I have always enjoyed being near and in the water. When I purchased my first property I knew I needed to share it with others. That lead to the first rental, Sunsets by the Bay. After a year of meeting some wonderful people, I purchased my second property. I continue to grow my portfolio by managing others lakefront properties.

I love hearing what brings guests into Leamington, and helping them to choose some adventures while they're in town.

Book with me and see the difference!

Why they chose this property

Cute and comfortable are the words that come to mind when I think of the Bunker. It's the perfect step up for an individual or couple that prefer to avoid a hotel stay. It's close enough to the lake that you catch the most perfect sunset, and still have privacy from the house on the property.
