Beautiful “sea” views

Our stay in Tobermory was everything we had hoped for and more. The house is crisp and clean, the decking area is a perfect place to spend the evening and the downstairs comfy and well furnished The host sent lots of really useful information to aid our stay and I would recommend this properly to anyone wanting to visit the beautiful Bruce Pennisula

Beautiful place with a stunning view!

This was our second time staying here and even with a blizzard, and loss of power, our family still enjoyed our time here. Communication with the owner was excellent, especially during the power outage (only lasted a few hours and the fireplace kept us warm enough). Highly recommend this beautiful home and location!

Great fall vacation

This property is amazing and was immaculately clean inside and out. Beautiful views from every room. There are very helpful tags all over the house with instructions on how to use things or with contents of drawers/cupboards and this made navigating things very easy. The location cannot be beat - extremely private but just a few minutes to downtown Tobermory and all the parks. Our host was very easy to talk with and responded to any question or request right away (we ended up asking to stay an additional night). Thanks again to Host Max !

Wow, paradise

Tobermory is wonderful. If you're looking for a beautiful, uncrowded, peaceful summer experience for a family, this is it. The house is spectacular in every way. Views are MUCH better than the pictures suggest. House is pristine. Could not be more organized (I'll let you discover why I say that...you'll love it). Game room is perfect (pool, air hockey, foosball, gaming console). And my favorite part is the path leading from the deck (with an unbelievable view and gas fire pit) to the little area by the water (with an even more unbelievable view)...the lit path through the trees is absolutely magical. Wow!

This place is paradise

This place was amazing, if I could I would give more than a 5/5. The host was very accommodating, responded to emails within minutes. The location is perfect, 20.mimite walk to downtown.. It is in a very quiet and private neighborhood.. The home had everything we needed. The posted photos did not do it justice. This place was truly perfect. Thank you again Max for ensuring our stay was 100 % enjoyable.. would definitely rent again. It minutes.

Tobermory Stay

Everything was great! From the welcome basket, to the information prior to arrival! Our family enjoyed the home and the how perfect the location was to jump on some short trails. The home was organized perfectly, and our kids really enjoyed the game room!

Gorgeous property in a great location

We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate a family member’s milestone birthday in a quiet, relaxing place. It was perfect. The property was just as described and absolutely beautiful. The home was clean and comfortable (the beds were super comfy), and provided us a close place to escape the weekend crowds when we got tired of them. The owner provided excellent info ahead of time and during our stay. We definitely want to visit again and explore more of the area!

Daughters wedding

Our first trip to Tobermory was for our daughters’ beach wedding. Other than the wedding day, we stayed “home”(because that is exactly how it makes you feel) without doing any tourist things. We had the best views from every room, the host has thought of every possible detail. We enjoyed the games room, the patio chairs right on the water, sat around the fire pit in evenings. The word perfect doesn’t even do it justice. The host has created a luxurious peaceful retreat. We didn’t want to leave and return to reality! Thank you so much for sharing this dream home!

The best cottage we’ve ever stayed at!

The most incredible cottage we’ve ever stayed at. The property is beautiful, functional and fully equipped. The views are unbelievable, especially with direct access to the lake in the backyard. This was everything we wanted and more for our first time in Tobermory. Max, our property manager kept us informed of all important details and checked in to make sure our experience was more than ideal. We were so sad to leave. 10/10 would return.

Great Girls Getaway!

We were a group of professional women with busy families in need of a girls getaway. Max’s place was a perfect place to hangout, make meals and enjoy each other’s company. The space is large, airy and spotless. The kitchen was perfect for preparing meals. The outdoor (and indoor!) space was breathtaking. Thank you Max, we would love to come back some day!

Superb stay at Tobermory Shores!

We had a superb stay at Tobermory Shores! The house is clean, spacious, bright and beautiful and the property and the views are stunning! This property is well located -- a short drive to town/the harbour and to various beaches and hikes! The property manager was very responsive regarding a power outage we had due to a storm and everything, the check in process was effortless, and the house had absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing, beautiful, and smooth vacation!

About the host

Why they chose this property

Clean, sleek surfaces and warm walnut wood accents create a crisp modern aesthetic while walls of windows immerse you into the waterfront setting. The neutral palette and rustic contemporary decor give it a relaxed, sophisticated appeal.

The master bedroom with a king-sized bed is a private indulgence that includes spa-style en suite bathroom. The three other rooms include a queen-sized bed.

The sizeable main level consisting of a gourmet kitchen, dining and living area with fireplace is ideal for gathering with friends and family and can comfortably serve 8 people while the games room in the garage offers guests the perfect entertainment spot.

With an expansive open deck and BBQ, the exterior space is ideal for outdoor gatherings.

Cooling: Because of its location and proximity to the water, temperatures within the home are generally comfortable during the summer. Opening windows, turning on the fans provided in each room, and the ceiling fan located in the upstairs stairwell will help circulate the breeze coming off the lake and cool down the house, eliminating the need for air conditioning on most days throughout the summer. However, for those odd days when temperatures and humidity become uncomfortable, we have Central Air Conditioning available for guests. If used, we kindly request that you keep all doors and windows closed while the AC is running.

Even though this is a waterfront property, access to the water is limited and should only be done cautiously. If guests choose to navigate the rocky shoreline to gain access to the lake, they are doing so at their own risk.
