Perfect week on the beach

Mary’s place on the beach is so lovely! It helped that I had the most perfect weather for my September vacation. The cottage is comfortable and the location is great - cottage in the city. Mary is a wonderful host to communicate with, and she ensured that all my questions were answered. Highly recommend!

Quintessential lake retreat

This was my second time in Mary's house, and it just confirmed my first impression: the place is perfect: * Location: as close to the lake as it gets, in a quiet neighborhood, yet, within 10 min drive from all necessities and Sarnia's Point Edward area with its restaurants, cafes, and so on. * Outside: perfect beach (and you can walk on the beach all the way to Canatara Park), easy access to the beach, and the terrace right over the beach is a great place to relax. * Inside: the house is very well kept, clean, and comfortable. My favorite place is a sun room - a great place to have a breakfast or to have a siesta after lunch.... * And of course a very friendly owner - Mary, and she keeps constantly improving the house and the grounds.

Wonderful weekend stay..

We enjoyed the weekend visit at this amazing place on the water. The house was clean and had everything that we needed, what a relaxing time we had. The best part was walking down to our own beach and sitting by the water. We will definitely be back another time! 😍

Cute place on the beach

We had a nice relaxing long weekend at this home which is exactly what we were looking for. We loved the easy access to the beach and just sitting on the deck listening to the waves while watching the sunset. The home was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was less than a 10 minute drive away and within walking distance in some cases. Mary was was kind, available if needed and made the check in/out process easy.

Paradise Beach

A charming, cozy home/cottage overlooking beautiful Lake Huron. The view from the cottage is spectacular including: gorgeous sunsets and stunning sailboat races. We loved morning coffee on the deck overlooking the beach and lake. From there, a few solid steps took us down to the beach where we spent lovely days sun tanning and swimming in the clean Lake Huron water. The gentle incline into the water and the clean beach make it a wonderful place for children to play. Nearby stores and restaurants make it easy to enjoy meals either at the cottage or out. The owner is readily available to offer suggestions for entertainment and anything you might need. We highly recommend this paradise. We will be back time and again.

Family Get Together

We had such a good time at this beautiful cottage/house. It was great to catch up with family who we hadn’t seen for a while. There couldn’t have been a more perfect place than Mary’s cottage. Set in a lakeside neighbourhood in Sarnia, it has 3 bedrooms, immaculately kept, professionally decorated, plus offers a well constructed deck overlooking a sandy beach that leads to the blue waters of Lake Huron and those awesome sunsets. We had the good fortune to meet Mary. She’s wonderful- very friendly and helpful. We’re looking forward to a return visit.

Fun Cottage on Lake Huron

First of all, the hostess Mary is a pleasure to deal with. She really went over the top to make our stay perfect! This was our second visit, and this is a special cottage. It's comfortable, clean and the views are spectacular. We've stayed in the local hotels, but this cottage is better for our family's needs. The views of Lake Huron, the Bluewater Bridge, Michigan in the distance, Birds are beautiful. The Sunsets are amazing!! This is a great cottage, you really can't go wrong!

Excellent location, and perfect house

The location cannot be any better: in a very quiet area, yet 10 min drive to downtown Sarnia. The house is very comfortable and clean. Plenty of sitting, dining, and relaxation spaces. My favorite was the sunroom, which provides great views of the lake. There's a private deck right over the beach, and an easy access to the beach. The sandy beach has a very gentle slope, and the clean water is perfect for swimming. And I would like to especially thank Mary for being such an attentive host. Would love to come back here again!

Lakefront Retreat

Mary’s lakefront home is a welcomed retreat. The front room offers such a beautiful view of forever changing Lake Huron. You can work, eat or just relax in this sunroom. Neighbours are very welcoming. Water is clean, swimmable and beach is very sandy and good for walking. Favourite spot would be the spacious deck overlooking the beach. Plenty of games for those rainy or North Blow days. This is our 3rd visit to Mary’s cozy home which speaks for itself. Thank you Mary!

Lakeside Retreat

This was our second visit to Mary’s home on the lake. Although Mary was out of town, Melissa handled the communication. The few questions I had were handled promptly and thoroughly by Melissa. The garage is full of beach toys for the younger set as well as bikes for the whole family ready to go. The deck with the patio umbrella is perfect for outdoor meals and watching the beautiful sunsets. Lovely walking on the Sandy beaches. Guest booklet very detailed. Neighbours are very welcoming. Conveniently located to grocery stores too!

Slice of paradise on the beach

I just came back from 5 nights in sarnia staying at this special home with the most spectacular views and sunsets. The furnishings are extra comfortable and beautifully decorated. The chaise lounger is a particular highlight. Loved the sun porch which stares right at the beach, with great views and the sound of the waves. It’s a very short bike ride to the River front area and Canatara park. I really can’t say enough about it and can’t wait to come back !! Mary is super responsive and sweet. Kitchen has everything you need to cook a good meal. Loved it !
