Grand Bend Harbour House Lower Walkout Apartment
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The outdoor areas were our favorite. Location was perfect, close to everything, we walked all around the area. Kitchen was well appointed. Plenty of towels... we would stay here again.

Stunning harbour front suite w/ exceptional views.
We had a wonderful stay at Grant and Jane’s suite. We visited Port Stanley for our little one’s first Mother’s Day, and had an amazing stay. The unit is located bang on top of the Port Stanley marina with breathtaking views of the pier and Lake Erie. It is located very close to a number of nice eateries, and everything you’ll need at a quaint tourist town. To help us out, the owners were sweet enough to arrange for a booster seat for the baby. The house was extremely clean, with an abundant supply of extras and toileteries. The checkin and checkout processes very super smooth, and they happily agreed to let us take the time to checkout with the baby’s nap schedule. Port Stanley and the surrounding Lake Erie coast is a beautiful trip down from Toronto, and we’re extremely grateful to Grant and Jane for letting us celebrate a memorable mother’s day weekend! A+++ and Highly recommended!!

Walk to theatres - Ideal for two couples
We had a great stay at Bob's place. It was ideal for two couples. We walked to all the theaters and to local restaurants. The walk by the lake is lovely and the place was comfortable and very clean. Bob was a very helpful host. We had a great stay!

The Palatial - 1500 sq feet of amazing space.
We travel to Stratford every year and have done so for about 30 years. We have stayed in a variety of accommodations over the years! We prefer Air BnBs over hotels, and because we travel in a group (we were 8), this location matched our needs perfectly. We like to park the car when we arrive and not use it again until we leave (Stratford is fantastically walkable) -- no problem! We like to try different restaurants -- the location is perfect for that (and for attending theatre). We're close family, but we also like some alone time -- with four bedrooms for 8 people, this apartment offered that! The apartment was large, open and bright with basic amenities suitable for our 2 night stay. The beds were comfortable, and the shared areas were roomy enough for us to gather. The hosts were amazingly responsive -- they provided detailed and accurate info ahead of time, and quickly answered our questions.

Crimson Crest Stay
Excellent communication. Great location. Excellent parking. Very clean. Located on the quieter side which was great. One minute walk to south beach which was very quiet and nice. Ten minute walk to main strip, excellent shopping, restaurants and beach.

Driftwood Dunes
It was our first trip to Canada from Ohio and we had a great stay at Wayne and Catherine’s place. Their communication was quick and clear. The place was so clean and had plenty of towels, beach towels, toiletries, and even bug spray. My daughters appreciated the board games and beach toys. Despite years of staying at Airbnbs, this was our first time staying while the owners shared the house and we had a positive experience. They gave us space and privacy while being available for questions. They had a tent and beach chairs setup for us. They were accommodating and so kind! We had rain all weekend but still had such a relaxing time. We drove to Grand Bend for lunch and my daughters wanted to go back to the Airbnb and play at the beach. There was a wedding nearby when we arrived and we got to watch the fireworks. We created great memories here. Thank you Wayne and Catherine!

Cobblestone beauty on the Grand, lg deck, view
We loved staying here! Beautiful location and home, Jean was very helpful and thoughtful. Great books laid around, super comfortable beds, and lovely view of the Grand River. Hope to be back again soon!

Juno Lofts: Memories of Gastown
Another lovely stay at the Juno Lofts. Brendan is a wonderful host and we look forward to coming back to this property or another of his locations! Thank you Brendan, Happy New Year!

Lakeview Retreat home in Port Stanley!
Rachel’s place looks exactly like the pictures. It is clean, beautifully furnished and has an amazing view. It had everything you need and was very comfortable. Rachel was also very helpful and quick to respond when needed. I would stay here again.

Grand Bend Riverfront Cottage
Just returned from a 3 night stay for a lady's getaway. Trudy's place is just perfect inside and out. We enjoyed the numerous deck spaces, the view by the water, the firepit outside and even the live leafs game outdoors on the projector screen set up. So many amenities which is fantastic not to have to bring. Tons of sleeping space, open kitchen area with very large dinner table to accommodate a gathering. We will be making this space an annual spot for us. This is a gem 💎 Thanks Trudy! Julie

Quaint Lakehouse 1.5 Hours from GTA
What a lovely piece of joy! Felt right at home, multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy. Wonderfully quiet and friendly neighborhood. Communication was perfect, and check in was smooth. We will be back for more zen time. Thank you

Charming Peninsula w Bird Watching TOWER OVER BAY!
Loved this cottage, it was so peaceful and beautiful. We saw deer, bunnies, a beaver, a bald eagle, turtles, frogs and so many birds just from sitting in the backyard. The hosts thought of everything and the cottage was very well equipped, including some snacks and a list of recommendations in the area. We hope to go back here again!

Cottage in the city
Scott is a great host. He helped us with everything we needed during our stay. The house has such a good location which is minutes away from a few hiking trails. We highly recommend this place and will definitely staying there again.

Port Stanley 180 Degree View!
We had an incredible stay in Port Stanley! The place is newly renovated with thoughtful design and beautiful decor—plus the views are absolutely stunning. Sue was a fantastic host—responsive, helpful, and full of great local recommendations. If you’re looking for a five-star experience, you’ll find it in this gem. Highly recommend!

Rose Beach Retreat- birding, beach, relaxation
Rose Beach Retreat was built in 2023. The cottage was clean, fresh and comfy with modern conveniences ( many outlets, ceiling fans, excellent lighting). The kitchen was well appointed, had new appliances, every small appliance you would need and well stocked with everyday cooking extras. The bedrooms were bright & roomy with each having a large closet. The spacious front front porch provides a great view of Lake Erie and the public beach across the road. Rondeau Provincial Park with its hiking trails and beach is nearby. Erieau is a great place to visit, as well. This is truly a wonderful home, away from home. Molly always communicates quickly. We are already booking for next year.

Top of Grand Bend
We had an amazing stay at Mikes air bnb in Grand Bend for my Husbands 30th. The place was wonderful with lots of things to do and a lot of indoor and outdoor space. Mike was more than responsive to us and helped us with any questions we had and made sure everything was working and fixed for us. Him and his wife were super responsive and were able to accommodate us with early check in and late checkout because the place was available the night before and after. This was very kind of them and they did not have to do this. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. The most amazing thing about this air bnb is the location , it’s a minute walk from the main strip and had so many extra amenities such as kayaks. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting grand bend. The inside of the place is modern, new and had everything we needed and the outdoor space was equipped with bbqs, outdoor Furniture etc. we would definitely stay again.

Luxe Lodges on Lake Erie ~ Moonstone ~ Beach House
This is the first time using an air bnb and I am so thankful that we got Heather’s place. I think it will truly be difficult to match. What an amazing place, stunning location too! Wish we could’ve stayed longer! Thanks for setting the bar so high! Highly recommend

River Merchant Inn Mitchell’s Mercantile Suite
Great place to stay. Right in the heart of Stratford. Brendan was helpful with recommendations for restaurants and activities. This is our second stay at Brendan’s places and both were great. We will be back soon!

Luxury Lake View Condo
We always love our stay at Anh’s place. It’s meticulously clean, beautiful & perfect for our family of 5. This is our 3rd year coming & we’ll definitely be back.

River Merchant Inn Heintzman Music Suite
This may have been the nicest AirBNB in which we've ever stayed. Right in the heart of Stratford, an easy walk to the festival, downtown, and so much more. The apartment was super cool, lots of amazing touches to make you feel at home. We only wish we had longer to visit!

LONG POINT - Purple Finch 3 Bdrm Beachfront Condo
This is a very nice, clean, quiet, well appointed first floor condo right on the beach street with an unobstructed good view of Lake Erie. It is the most western of the nine units and is quite large with three good sized bedrooms (two with their own baths and a third for general use). Beds are comfortable, great lighting, plenty of hot water and a nice large tub to soak in. Comfortable indoor seating and a nice sitting patio looking south. There is a season pass for Long Point Park which is not to be missed. This is a perfect location for birders situated right between Long Point and Backus Woods. There is also a guest Netflix access. The host Helen is extremely receptive and attentive.

The Beach House at Long Point.
Jojo's place was perfect! My husband and I stayed for three nights to explore and do some spring bird watching. Self check-in was easy and we felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. Everything was just as described, spacious and in pristine condition. All amenities are well thought out for hosting guests. We had everything we needed to feel comfortable and make use of the facilities. We enjoyed the view, sunset and the BBQ on the rooftop! We relaxed on the back patio looking across to the beach and lake. The private beach is a real bonus as I can see the public one would be very busy in high season. The bed and linens were super comfortable and luxurious, bedroom very dark for sleeping and the en-suite bathroom was great. I know we would love every aspect if we were to stay for a longer holiday and with friends or family. The area has a lot to offer and we were close to nature/birding trails, kayaking, restaurants and shops. Don't hesitate to book this place, I highly recommend it!

Modern beachfront 2 bedroom condo in Long Point
Lovely place! Would definitely stay again. Long Point is beautiful. Stephanie’s communication was perfect. Thanks for hosting us!

Life on the Beach in Cottage Country
This is a beautiful, comfortable and well maintained unit with a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of towels, blankets and shower products, plus an abundance of a amenities on the property. We loved the access to walking trails, the beach, Port Rowan restaurants and lots of great birdwatching, all very close by. This is a great location and we had a lovely stay with everything we needed. Thanks Niclas!
