THE LOCATION
Nothing beats spending a day on the beach during a hot summer weekend. Kincardine has a natural warm and shallow sandy beach, and is ideal for summer vacations, as it is not overly crowded. A local beach access is only known to locals living nearby and has few visitors, thereby ensuring privacy. There are 2 inflatable stand-up paddle (SUP) boards and 1 surfboard available in the cottage (all highly portable) for guests to use , with rentals also available at Station Beach. Beach chair, table, ball, and body board are also available. Historic lakeside downtown offers quaint shops, a local brewery, and great dining experiences with views of the lake. Load up on supplies in town, including Sobeys, No Frills, and LCBO. There is free live music every day of the weekend, and during sunset in the summer, there is a "phantom piper" who plays the bagpipe nightly at the lighthouse. Every Saturday night, head downtown to see the famous Kincardine Pipe Band Parade. "Promanade at Queen's" free street music festival occurs every weekend all summer long! The sunset is a must see in Kincardine as it is out of this world. There are large number of events every summer and a long list of local attractions for the entire family to enjoy! All the ingredients for a magical summer vacation can be found here, the only thing missing is you.

| The Sunshine Beach House lived up to its name! The large front windows and multiple skylights infuse this well-appointed home with light. The various house plants and minimalist and modern decor contribute to a calm, cozy, and relaxing environment. The cottage is located on a quiet and friendly street and is truly a 4 minute walk to a secluded beach. Most mornings, I was the only person there! My family enjoyed watching Ted Lasso on the massive screen in the living room that you can easily pull down to project Apple TV or Netflix. We also appreciated the fact that we could walk into town for dinner or shopping. (15 minutes) My husband had to work for a few days while we were there and the WIFI was excellent. Gary and Emily immediately responded to any questions I had and left detailed notes and instructions. In addition, we found that the early check in and late check out made a tangible difference to our stay. These days are usually lost days spent in travel and getting organized but with these generous times, we truly felt like we had a lengthy vacation. Thanks Gary and Emily! We hope to return next summer.

| Gary and Emily's cottage is one of the most stunning properties I have ever had the pleasure to stay in! They are so easy to communicate with, and provided the most detailed Welcome Package not only with information on the house, but of local activities as well.
My family and I enjoyed a few days of bliss in every beautiful room from quiet work or relaxation in the sun room, watching movies on the projector screen, or luxuriating in the massive master bathroom.
This was our first visit to Kincardine, and we absolutely cannot wait to be back!

| Gary and Emily are so accomodating and welcoming and were there to make sure we had an excellent experience. The Beach House was GORGEOUS!! It is super clean and spacious and we had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. The best part was that the house is a quick walk to the beach. The beach is stunning and is really private and peaceful, we were literally the only ones there. The water was amazing and the sunsets are beautiful. I would certainly go back again. Gary and Emily thank you so much for being such wonderful hosts.
