Stunning harbour front suite w/ exceptional views.

KartikRating, 5 stars1 month ago

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!!
