Beachfront vacation rentals in Hay Bay

I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful week at the cottage with my 2 boys. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The outdoor spaces were beautuful and the kids and I spent a lot of time on the swings and in the hammock. The lake was perfect for swimming (the kids especially loved the big floating mat) and we enjoyed exploring the lake in the canoe as well! The kids have been asking to go back ever since!

Such a wonderful stay! Beautiful place. Super impressed with how clean, neat, tidy, and well-stocked it is. But especially how homey & cozy this place is! So glad we stayed here :)

The Hay Bay Hideaway exceeded our group's wildest dreams for the perfect End of Summer get-away. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and unique property and home, with exceptionally communicative, helpful, and gracious hosts. Our group of 10 slept comfortably in the 5 bedrooms this historic home offers, indulged in the well stocked pantries, utilized the gorgeous selection of vintage dish-ware, and experienced cozy nights by the beautiful wood stove fireplaces while enjoying a wide array of musical instruments available throughout the home. This property backs onto a private inlet with still, lily pad covered water, visited by blue herons, kingfishers, blue jays and many other woodland friends. We also enjoyed the various watercrafts, including a row boat, pedal boat, and canoe on the open water that connects directly to the small inlet. The experience was incredibly unique, absolutely smooth and accessible, and deeply memorable. A return trip is definitely in the works :)

Beautiful, peaceful, scenic cottage. Cozy and modern inside with a great enclosed porch overlooking the lake. Ample options for sitting outside, and lots of blankets and towels provided. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful through the stay.

A wonderful quiet few days - excellent privacy and on the water. Lots to do in PEC, and lovey to return to Aminah's private and cozy retreat. The place was clean, uncluttered, and perfectly suited our needs. Great fire pit, too. We were there for Thanksgiving weekend with our adult kids - too cold for swimming, but being on the water is still magical.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The space was cozy, well-kept, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were thoughtful and attentive, making sure I felt right at home. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Vicki’s. There were plenty of things to do and enjoy - water activities such as kayaking, canoeing and swimming during the day plus roasting marshmallows at the fire pit while stargazing at night. Very clean and quiet property and a responsive host. Would love to come back.

Liz has a beautiful guest house...this was our second visit and we will return in the near future❤️ ...quiet and romantic spot to getaway!

Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour à Sandbanks dans le chalet de Scott. L’emplacement, les commodités, le complexe, les attentions et petits cadeaux de bienvenue de Scott, le Pass annuel pour la plage, tout a été parfait! Le chalet est parfaitement situé dans le complexe, le stationnement est juste en arrière, peu de voisinage, très proche de la piscine et des zones d’activités sportives et de loisirs. Nous étions également à 7 minutes des plages et 10 minutes de Picton, vraiment une très bonne situation! Nous souhaitions surtout nous reposer et passer un beau moment en famille au soleil et nous avons été comblés. Nous pensons fortement revenir plus souvent à l’occasion.

Eric was super helpful. He even helped us to set fireplace. House was also very beautiful

The perfect place for a weekend get away. The photos dont do it justice. Quiet and peaceful to get away from the city life. The pool was amazing, and everything you could imagine needing was there. Very clean and comfortable. Wish I was there right now.

It was a great stay and very accommodating. Kids enjoyed the pool table and foosball indoors as well as the pool and lake outside. The kitchen and view of the lake was amazing. Lots of fishing was done from the docks and petal boat and some paddling from the kayak and paddle board (we brought this).

My family had a great time at the resort. Roberto was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had. The home was clean and comfortable and exactly as pictured. It was. Perfect spot for kids as there is tons to do on the resort grounds and you are 15 minutes from almost all major attractions. The pool was fantastic for kids with a very large shallow end, towel service, life jackets etc. will definitely return next time we are in PEC.

We had a great time staying in Kevin’s home. He is extremely kind and helpful! We felt right at home and very comfortable. We caught a couple of fish right off his dock! Beautiful home and really beautiful scenery. We will definitely come back!!

This was a perfect place to stay to experience all PEC has to offer. Jen was a fabulous host- very communicative and extremely helpful, especially as we enjoyed our first time in Canada. The resort staff were super friendly. The neighbors are fabulous and the house was immaculate and comfortable. Excellent experience from booking through our departure.

Both Melissa and Kevin were pleasant and always available to assist in any way possible. Loved our stay at the Cozy Cottage for the Easter long weekend. The decor , Easter egg hunt, and the cookie decorating kits were a beautiful touch for our kids to enjoy. They especially loved the ride even if they felt there too big . Will definitely be referring friends and family to stay at Serenity Bay Resort. Can't wait to book another stay.

Exceptional waterfront home! The only problem is that we didn’t book for a longer period of time! Immaculately kept inside & out. The pictures really don’t do it justice. One of the cleanest Airbnbs I have ever stayed at, well stocked kitchen/bathroom/kids closet, thoughtful welcome touches, spacious areas, bedrooms, well designed home. Picturesque waterfront for fires and lounging. Some of the most beautiful beaches in Ontario within a few minute drive of the home. So much privacy you feel like you have the island to yourself. I can’t wait to return to this home. Pierre was a wonderful, friendly, helpful host. Not one bad thing to say about the home of booking. *Highly recommend*

We reserved Gabe’s Airbnb one week before our vacations and this was perfect. Perfectly clean, lots of toys for children (we were 2 families with a total of 3 young kids under 3). The view from the Airbnb is awesome and we have direct access to water. Gabe lets us borrow his kayaks so everyone was happy. We must not forget their very appreciated welcome gift and a 5 pages document of informations about the house, history of the area, top things to do around. We thought we were going to go to beaches only during our stay, after reading his suggestions, we changed our ideas and decided to visit a lot of wineries, ice cream shops and north beach. Finally, the only thing I suggest people if they ever rent this amazing Airbnb, bring some mosquito repellent. When we wanted to make a fire by the water with the sunset, we realized that when night falls, a lot of mosquitos appear. Otherwise, everything was perfect and I will definitely rent this Airbnb again if I return to this spot !

A lovely cabin with great facilities at hand including bicycles and kayak. Lisa and Gerry made us very welcome. The location is excellent for the national park- the free entry pass included is a nice touch. All mod and cons in the cabin. There is a ceiling fan to help keep cooler. Lisa and Gerry were extremely accommodating with our extra requests.

What can I say? It was worth the price just for the beautiful view. All of us were in desperate need for a peaceful weekend away and Lilac Shore was the answer. Immediately walking in, the place gave off cozy and calm vibes. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. And Nancy greeted us within moments of arrival. So friendly! The rooms were beautiful and clean. We loved the themed rooms! The owners really put a lot of thought and work into this place. The binder provided details instructions on everything you need. Would most definitely recommend!

We had a very nice stay at Ayman's cottage at the end of August. The house was perfect for our family of 4, fully stocked with everything we needed, and very clean. Ayman took the time to show us around and explain everything about the cottage and what is located nearby, and checked in after our first night to see if we needed anything. Unfortunately due to high water levels over the summer the water access was limited, but he provided a pass to sandbanks that allowed us to visit multiple times, which was very much appreciated.

Great place.. KGH,HDH, and Queen’s university are within walking distance. And John is very helpful and was a great host.

This was a beautiful, very quaint cottage. It’s in a nice and peaceful area and lots of options for recreational activities, although we stayed there for a reading getaway. John provided us with lots of information and notes about our stay which were very helpful. I would definitely book it again in the future.

We stayed at this beautiful cottage for 4 nights and 5 days. The place has wonderful outdoor views and easy access to the beach. The hosts are super responsive and delightful people who go out of their way to help you out with anything. We couldn't be happier with our experience.
