It was the perfect getaway for the family. The amenities the property provided were fantastic. The personal touches made us feel welcomed as soon as we open the door. We enjoyed using the kayaks and the property itself was beautiful and well maintained. Communication with our host, Shadow, was easy and simple. We would definitely stay there again.

Truly wonderful weekend. Beautifully updated and maintained cottage. Large yard and boasted a beautiful view from the firepit and dock. There is a beautiful firepit for Joyce guests (red chairs on brick) which we enjoyed tremendously. The hosts were responsive and friendly when communicating with us. Everything was very well organized. But, while our weekend was 99% perfect, I would draw attention to a couple minor things. The grounds are shared with another cottage- so unless you book both you may be in close proximity to others on the property while outdoors. This was not an issue for us- our neighbours stuck to themselves and weren’t seen outside much. The beach was very rocky with lots of shells and debris (sticks and grasses) washed up. Not really an issue if you just want to use the water equipment. But, If you intend to swim, consider bringing water shoes. But as I said, those were minor issues and the property was fantastic. Overall, I would come back in a heartbeat.

Joyce cottage is easily accessible with good parking and proximity to Napanee!We found the listing is accurate in regard to the photos of her cottage, but the Sunshine cottage was a little close then we expected despite that being listed in her rental description! All in all, we thought there would be more separation from the Sunshine then what we experienced!The waterfront was accurately described however it was really weedy and not swimmable from our point of view!
