More Details:
The Area - Located in Whitby, Ontario, the property is the very last cottage on South Thickson Road with immediate full views of Lake Ontario from the moment you drive into the large horseshoe driveway. The property is situated on half an acre with ample parking. There are numerous opportunities for walking trails from the coastline to Thickson Woods. Bring your camera as birdwatching is a popular hobby here. There are plenty of grounds for kids to play. If you need something, just ask - if we have it, you can have it. Be aware that although we try our best to keep poison ivy at bay, we may occasionally miss some. Please supervise children and treat wildlife with the distant respect they deserve.
The Beach - The beach is a beautiful, slow 5 minute walk from the cottage on a gravel road, Crystal Beach Blvd. We recommend using a wagon to get to the beach as you cannot park your car there. There is absolutely no parking near the beach. As a private beach, it is rustic and rocky - perfect for exploring. On windy days, avoid. The lake gets rough and there are no lifeguard facilities.
The Cottage - The house is spacious, modern and pristine. We aim to provide an escape that is near perfect and as little work as possible. There are 2 bedrooms in the basement and a full bathroom. You can see the lake from the East bedroom. They are comfortable, clean and luxurious. The mattress in the East bedroom is softer than the one with the bunk beds. Linens are 100% cotton and luxurious for a good night's sleep. There is one 'weird' bedroom on the main floor that is a favourite of our guests. Once an accessible room, we've made it wonderfully comfortable for guests who want to avoid staircases or just love falling out of bed and falling into the shower. The living room is hugely spacious as is the kitchen. We have two dining tables and a covered porch for days where you just want to enjoy the view bug free.
Linens - Towels, hand towels and wash cloths are provided. Please do not wash the linens.
Garbage - If you live in Ontario and can help us out by taking your garbage with you, we would be grateful. For our guests who are flying in to Canada, we take care of things.
Access - The code for the property is sent on the day of arrival.

Excellent place. Plenty of room. Neighbourhood was quiet. Plenty of parking. House has everything we needed. Laundry on site was a big plus for our extended stay. Sherri-Lee made sure we felt welcome and was quick to answer any questions we had during our stay. Looking forward to staying here again next year.

Truly only extremely positive things to say!! Sherrie-Lee was SO lovely right from the start. Booked her property several months in advance and gave a heads up that we were a very low key bridal party (6) going to the local Thermea spa that weekend to celebrate our bride and her upcoming wedding. This place was PERFECT for us. So peaceful and an amazing combination of private and shared spaces. Everyone loved going for walks in the gorgeous surrounding area and just having the beautiful lake view. The windows in the living room and the screened in sunroom were big highlights for us! This place also has more than enough kitchen amenities that we used to cook our meals and I hooked my laptop up to the TV in the living room for bachelorette games which the living room was absolutely perfect for. There was lots of parking for our 4 cars since we all came from different areas and the location is seriously a hidden gem. So close to the city with anything you need but it’s in a super scenic cottage area! The place is sooo clean and super cute decorations so our group photos were amazing! We are already planning a reunion because Sherrie-Lee was so fabulous to us. She even provided some board games for our game-loving group and communicating with her was so easy. We had the BEST time and, I know I keep saying the word perfect lol sorry, but it really was the perfect fit for our group!!! We already can’t wait to go back because this was the perfect place for us to make memories.

My wife and I just returned from our stay with my parents at this property and we absolutely loved it! Despite being only a mile or two from everything you'll need in Whitby, it's incredibly peaceful and quiet. We would see a fox trot by each morning while drinking morning coffee, enjoy refreshing jumps into Lake Ontario, and walk on the local trails. This place was even better than advertised and is very spacious- hoping to make it back!
