Vacation rentals with a kayak in Essex County

Just spent 10 great nights in the middle of May at this clean, renovated, and very bright farmhouse right on Lake Erie. Huge windows allowed ample natural light and the area is quiet/peaceful. Beds are very comfortable as is the living room area for relaxing. At night it was so wonderful to hear the waves while falling asleep. Kitchen was very well stocked, you just need to bring your own food/drinks. Enjoyed 10 days of birding at Point Pelee Nat. Park and Hillman Marsh and it was always nice to return to this comfy home on the lake at the end of each day. Becky, our host, was amazing and helpful, she always responded promptly to our inquiries. We would certainly return in the future.

The cottage was adorable and cozy. Our kids loved the beach even though the weather wasn’t warm. Just playing in the sand, watching the waves and the sunrise was worth every penny. Lots of people out fishing the canal. The Lake was absolutely stunning! If we ever find ourselves in this area again we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

Sonia & Paul, Thank you for giving 5 Best Friends a chance to catch up & enjoy what Wine Country has to offer along the shores of … Lake Erie! We all appreciated the amazing views of both nature and looking out at the water even when it was raining! You are blessed to share even a slice of Heaven with such a beautiful welcoming home! It was nice to get together & showcase what the Amherstburg - Harrow area offers. The attention to detail & thoughtful accommodations were truly A+. Sincerely, Kathy Stinchcombe

Terri’s place was wonderful! Modern, well-equipped, clean and the large open-concept living room/kitchen was great for families. Beautiful view of the water and a sandy beach that was perfect for kids. The toys and games for kids was much appreciated! We will definitely be back!

If you are looking for a lovely, quiet place to enjoy the sounds and views of lake Erie waves caressing the shore at your feet, you will find that here. Thank you Deena and Jason for letting us stay at your cottage. Stayed 8 days. Very kind and responsive host. Hope to return.

We rented this cottage with our friends to spend weekends. We had a really great time there. The cottage is very cozy and clean. Also there was all essential supplies in washrooms and kitchen. Hot tub works good and place is very quiet. We enjoyed our time and definitely will come back.

Sheridan Place is a beautiful home with a magnificent view of Lake Erie and some of the Pelee coastline. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and cozy. Everything we needed was provided and the kitchen was better stocked than my own! Shelley is a great host and very responsive to questions. We loved the location and the access to the water. Great place to relax, bird watch, enjoy kayaking and a very short walk to a fun bar and grill.

Had an awesome time at Ken and Jen’s cottage. The Thames/Lighthouse cove water system is really unique and was lots of fun to navigate on our boat. Nice fire pit right on the water. Certainly hope to come back again some time.

Ryan and Dee's home is phenomenal. It was pristine, and looked even more beautiful in person than in the photos. I feel comfortable saying that the inside was the cleanest, most organized AirBnB we have ever stayed at. The view from the yard, magnificent. My husband and I stayed for a 4-day weekend, and we brought our doggie with is. It is a great neighborhood to go out on walks, or to sit by the lake and look at ducks and geese float by. Ryan and Dee were also incredibly communicative, responding to questions before the trip, and checking in during the trip. I cannot recommend this place enough! We had the perfect weekend at Belle River -- can't wait to go back!

It’s a very nice place to stay, right on the water with beach access from the backyard. The cottage is very comfortable and has absolutely everything you need. I like to cook and there was a great selection of everything you need to make use of the kitchen and feel right at home. The beds were also very comfortable. The view was lovely, and the environment very quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend it!

Two families with young kids (3 children aged 4-7) and we found this home perfect for our Point Pelee birding vacation. Easy access to the park, and amazing birding from the living room! Comfortable open space to hang out in, and great outdoor space (particularly the back) and fire pit! Everything was clean, and well appointed with staple necessities.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shannon’s cottage. We were at Point Pelee for birding and this was the perfect location. Everything was as described and we felt very comfortable. Thanks for a great week!

Although our trip was cut short due to a power outage in the area, Lexy was an amazing host and we will definitely come back! Great location, super nice place & Lexy was over the top accommodating. We really appreciated her transparency and helpfulness as we dealt with the power outage. We definitely will come back in the future to have the full experience!

We were two moms with our two 14 year old daughters for the Ontario Gymnastics provincials in Amherstburg. The layout was perfect with girls in the loft and moms in our own comfortable beds. The whole place had thoughtful touches with cozy blankets, board games, books, binoculars for bird lovers, yoga mats and weights. Plus also all the modern upgrades of Alexa controlled lights/music and air fryer etc....but the best part was the view of the water from the front of the house straight through to the back and the outdoor sitting area. We lucked out!

Beautiful cottage in a quiet area on the island. Bikes and kayaks available for use. Everything was as listed and very clean. They had essentials there for use if you didn't bring them. Very friendly and responsive hosts. Overall, great stay!

Natasha was a great host - extremely communicative and helpful. The place was gorgeous and well worth it - we had a great stay
