Sandy Edge Retreat-Awesome Beach!

Everyone will love this beachfront retreat located on a HUGE lot with lots of room to run around inside and out! You'll find a huge beach area where the kids can swim/play and you can walk for a long ways. Inside there are 6 bedrooms so everyone can have a bit of privacy. And there is a games room with Ping Pong!

Centrally located -Golf Course is 1 min away and you are 2 min from Bayfield where you must have to visit the old time ice cream shop.

INSIDE
The main floor features a spacious living room where everyone can gather. Cuddle up on the couch for a movie with Grandma, with a TV that includes Netflix for your viewing pleasure. The games room offers a Ping Pong table for added fun.
The newly updated kitchen boasts all new modern appliances, and the dining area provides ample space to enjoy your family treats together.

NOTE: Please look closely at the pictures - you will see the floors upstairs are plywood.

OUTSIDE
Enjoy games on the huge grassy lot, where you can play yard games or find your favorite spot for those treasured holiday naps. Kids will love playing "Pirates" in the new tent – it's super fun! We've supplied two kayaks and a paddleboard, along with five lifejackets, so you can challenge the kids to a race. At night, share laughter and stories around the campfire, with firewood provided by us.

Take approx. 75 steps down the brand new stairs to a wide expansive beach that we all remember from our childhoods-rare to find with the erosion and high lake levels! You'll easily spend the day on the beach or cooling off in the water.

EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD
With wooded trails, scenic country vistas, and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season. Bring your hiking boots and plan a trip during leaf-peeping season for a display of color. Several weeks later, the snow starts to fall and guests can enjoy the quiet of winter and crunch through the snow in evergreen forests or try out the snowshoe trails on the river flats.

You're just 2 minutes from the Bluewater Golf Club. Explore downtown Bayfield, just two minutes away, browsing the unique boutiques and stopping for a hot coffee at one of the quaint cafes. We're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, including Dark Horse Estate. With wooded trails, scenic country vistas and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season.

ABOUT YOUR HOST
I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.

A great getaway!
Sandy Edge was exactly as described in the listing. It reminded me of my childhood cottage time in a wood cottage in Muskoka. I loved the wood interior and the thoughtful layout of the cottage. We had 3 couples and 2 kids stay during our time and we all had our own space. It was nice to have a couple bedrooms on the main level so that we had our own area. The house is situated at the edge of the woods and a ravine and feels quite private. The kids loved the "fort" on the deck and of course we all loved the beach. The beach was beautiful, with a sandbar about 20 feet out in the water to stand. The bonus of a lakeside property is that the beach is private. I am a big sunset person and I lucked out and was able to see a sunset every night of my stay. If you stay at Sandy Edge, open up your windows at night and listen to the waves lull you asleep. Jennifer was an excellent host, in contact before and during our stay. We were missing some paddles and life jackets and she came by with new ones! Some practical notes: there is no air conditioning- open up the windows and run the fans. We brought a couple extra fans to stay comfortable. The kitchen is new and beautiful, but bring your own BBQ tools, cheese grater and marshmallows roasting sticks for the firepit. There is no washer or dryer on site. We did our big grocery shopping in Goderich at Walmart and used Bayfield Foodland for a few essentials. It is nice to be situated between both towns. Bayfield berry farm was fun to explore.

Rustic Gem
We had an amazing time at Sandy Edge. The cottage is the perfect balance of rustic and equipped, and the beach is amazing. Bring water shoes to get past the ~20 feet of rock and play in the waves on the huge sandbar. Our kids are 5 and 7 and had a great time. We enjoyed the kayak and paddle boards, you may want to bring your own life jackets are sizes at the cottage are limited. We enjoyed bonfires on the beach, playing in the waves, and exploring charming Bayfield, only a 5 minute drive away. Would definitely rent again.

Beautiful week at a beautiful property
Our group had a wonderful stay at Sandy Edge Retreat. The cottage is very spacious and the owners are doing a great job with renovations and upgrades. With 7 bedrooms and two living areas on the main level, there is a lot of space to be together and apart when needed. Stepping into the backyard, you are greeted with amazing views of Lake Huron. From here you can continue down the beautiful staircase that opens up onto a massive private beach with panoramic views. Some days it feels as if you are in Mexico and not Ontario! Communication with the owner was very easy and we will definitely rent this cottage again.

Best beach and sunsets in Ontario
When I was speaking with the property manager she made it quite clear this property was a liike an old school cottage. The outdoor space makes up for iit. The sandy beach the waves the turquoise water the blazing sun and out of this world sunsets is better than anywhere in Ontario. We felt like we were in the tropics, minus the palm trees! Wouldn't hesitate to rent here again. Thanks for the memories!!!!
