Fall Break in Normandale
My family enjoyed our stay in Normandale. The home offered a gorgeous view of the sunrise and the location was perfect for our daily excursions to the quaint port towns and Toronto.

Amazing view!
I booked a 3 night stay for our family Thanksgiving this year. This place absolutely exceeded our expectation from the inside to the outside on every level! Lake view is so relaxing! Visited a nearby brewery while there. Excellent communication with the owner. Will definitely be back!! Thank you!

Great home by Lake Erie
Lovely home in a quiet neighbourhood, with picture windows in living room and lower bedroom looking over the lake. It was wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the lapping of waves below. This place has many stairways to the house and balconies; a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen was well equipped, too. Owner Renee responded in minutes to questions. A great home base for birders, with Turkey Point, Long Point and other hot spots within a half hour's drive. One complaint, and that's due to the platform: I do wish Vrbo would not price these places in American dollars without notification.

Peaceful & Scenic Oasis
First vacation with hubby in over 2 years and this was perfect…close to great food, great little hidden gems like Port Dover and Turkey Point and Turkey Point Provincial Park for bike riding. House is equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay! We will be back! And…the sound of the lake waves lulling you to sleep is just off the charts!

Great experience!
Very nice house, right at the beach, very quiet area. House is very well maintained, clean and airy. Beds comfortable, lots of dishes, pots and pans, coffee machine. Close to Port Dover and Turkey Point and other attractions in area. Best part was the owner - she was incredibly helpful and a joy to deal with!

Fantastic Waterfront getaway on Lake Erie
Our stay at Hillside Shores Beachfront Cottage was absolutely wonderful. We stayed here in April for the 2024 Eclipse and had a wonderful wonderful time. The cottage is 100% just as described and the views of lake Erie are spectacular. Lake Erie was very calm for us most of the time and if the water had been warmer, we would have been on the water every single day. Gorgeous beaches are not too far away as is a outdoor adventure facility with zip lining, axe throwing and other activities. The waterfront on the property met all our needs and has a small fire pit and lots of seating for watching the lake. Inside, the cottage comes equipped with a lot of board games and a smart TV for evening wind down fun and entertainment. The Wifi connection is particularly strong and more than good enough for all of your internet needs. The Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. BBQ, Dishwasher, Microwave, Fridge were all in working order. Getting to the lake from the property may not be suitable for those with mobility restrictions. Getting to the property itself is fine and all the amenities are on the main floor however the steps down to the waterfront are numerous and slightly steeper than the average stairs in most homes. It won't be a problem for most but would be renters who might have some more serious mobility issues should be aware. We loved our stay here and plan to return in the summer when the water is warmer for more summer and water activities.
