The Viv - Cottage with Views of Lake Ontario

Summary:
Welcome to The Viv

The Space:
The VIV is a year-round bungalow cottage tucked away on a quiet lane among five other cottages at the shore of Lake Ontario in the heart of Wellington, Prince Edward County. This most unusual, tranquil spot feels like a hotel suite offering a spectacular panoramic view of the lake from the front deck with Wellington beach and Sandbanks Provincial Park in the distance.

Ideal for a couple or a couple and two children (see Notes section for bed size). Around the corner from favourite spots - La Condesa, The Parlour Studio, Midtown Brewery, Sybil Frank Gallery, The Drake Devonshire, Ideal Bike rentals and the Festival Players Studio Theatre.

The VIV offers a fully equipped kitchen, small bar, dining area, living room, a bedroom with a queen size bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds and a small four piece bathroom. Bedding, bed and bath linens are provided.

The new kitchen is fully equipped and the BBQ will get you outdoors and out of the kitchen. Enjoy the garden and dining area behind the cottage or a game of bocce in the new bocce pit. The VIV has private parking in the driveway. Complete with a SMART television, free WIFi and a beach pass, all you need are your personal items, beach towels and a plan to do as you want.

The VIV is a well-loved waterview escape from the city. We look forward to sharing it with you.

This home is fully licensed as per Prince Edward County STA bylaws. #ST-219-0303
The bylaw stipulates the maximum capacity of the property is 4 people.

A week at the Viv
We love the Viv and the location and this is our second time staying there. Just a couple of small hiccups - getting the lockbox open was hard to negotiate, the smoke detectors kept Going and had to be changed, the sink needed a stopper which we bought and the sink leaked to the kitchen floor. Otherwise we’d definitely stay again.

Great view and location
My daughters come each year to the Viv for our annual mother daughter weekend away. We love this location as it is right on the water and a short walk into town. The management is extremely accommodating and very responsive which we really appreciate. I understand that there are new owners and have painted the place so it is nice and fresh. However all the hooks were removed and no place to hang your coats at front door and no hooks in primary bedroom or in bathroom. It would be ideal to have a lot of hooks added to the cottage. We hope to be back

Staying at the Viv
We are water-view-loving people and The Viv didn’t disappoint. We really enjoyed our peaceful breakfasts and dinners on the front deck staring at the water. Our neighbours and other Wellington dwellers were friendly folks too. Small quibble in that a few things were missing upon check in (tea, coffee, second key) and the bbq ran out of propane on second night but these things were rectified quickly for the most part. And we’d love to return.

A Cozy Cottage
This is a great location. Quiet with a beautiful view. Just one block from the restaurants or Wellington. One thing. The ceilings in the bathroom are low. We are short, so it wasn't a problem. However, if you are 6 feet or taller, you might find the bathroom ceilings low.

Great views. Comfortable excellent wifi, close to amenities. Comfortable beds.
Instructions on how to use Netflix would be handy. Clean but we did find a Piece breakfast cereal under dining table, and we did not use the barbecue because it was black and greasy. Would have been nice to have facecloths and a dish cloth. Needed to buy.
