Enjoyable sauble experience

Location is awesome! Steps from the beach. Lots of space for everyone. Only warning (and it’s not a complaint - just FYI) is that the I gerber is spotty and can be slow. You’ll have a great time here!

Great visit! Amazing fireworks show. Spotless clean cottage. Great dinners on the deck followed by Sauble’s famous sunsets. Cant ask for more!

This is a very nice, clean cottage in a great location. Right across the street from the beach. Far enough from Main St that it’s less busy and the cafe/ice cream/bakery next door is a real bonus. But there are somethings I wished I’d known before I booked. Unfortunately the host didn’t send us the checkin details until just before we were leaving and we didn’t realize we would need to bring all bedding and towels. We had to scramble to get the right sheets/pillows/towels and since we don’t have a king bed at home we had to buy a set of sheets just for this vacation — not a great start to the vacation. The cottage has a water purification system but the tap water really smelled of sulphur and had a yellow colour. This really freaked out the three year old granddaughter during bath time and it’s really not pleasant. It also means that you need to bring in bottled water for drinking. There was no bottled water when we arrived so the first thing we needed to do was figure out how to get bottled water — not the first thing you want to do on arrival. We also had a load of whites get stained yellow/orange in the washing machine so we didn’t use it after that. The wifi is okay but not really good enough if someone is trying to work remotely — for one day it was almost nonexistent. We had two very cold nights (September stay) and the gas stove/heater didn’t work. Contacted the host but in the end it just didn’t work and we were very cold. Maybe they shouldn’t list it as heated if it’s not reliable. When we arrived we saw an oversized flyswatter and thought it was a funny joke. The joke was on us, the shore flies were so bad we bought more fly swatters and fly strips. It became a competition to see who would have the highest fly kills. Maybe this is just a mid September issue? As others have said in their reviews, there is no screen door on the front patio door which added to the fly problem. Also, as others have said in their reviews, for a cottage that bills itself for sleeping 12 there really aren’t enough chairs. We were only 9 and we really couldn’t all easily eat together either inside or out or even comfortably sit around the campfire. I guess, for the price, I didn’t expect these inconveniences.

We spent a week with our full family: children and grand children. The property is in a fantastic location. It met our needs and many memories were made.

We were a group of 10 (two families) sharing the cottage. There was plenty of space for all of us and the kitchen was well-stocked. We loved being right across the street from the beach, having our dinners on the front deck and watching the sunsets on the balcony or beach. We had amazing hot and sunny weather but on the downside, found it quite warm in the house for sleeping, although the fans helped. We were surprised that the patio door and some of the windows did not have screens - we would have liked to keep them open to cool the house at night. My only other suggestion would be to install a screen/curtain/mosquito net around the front porch - we used a sheet to keep the sun out while we were eating dinner. Note that it’s about a half hour walk to the main strip. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage as a great beach vacation spot!

We love Sauble North for its quiet laid back Beach vibe. This Beach house offered the perfect Sauble North Vacation. It was such a welcoming place. When we first entered everything was fully cleaned and disinfected but not so fussy that the inevitable beach sand on feet is a problem. With a 5 bedroom you need lots of relaxing spaces for people to hang out, this cottage delivers, my favourite the covered front porch with a beautiful view of the water, comfortable couch, dining table and chairs which sat 10 people. It was lovely for evenings with the cafe lights strung around the roof. There is an upper patio which the teens claimed and has relaxing Muskoka chairs and umbrellas and a killer view of the water. The sound of the waves is fantastic at all times from the porches. The backyard is large with a firepit and deck with another table and a lounger. Perfect for stargazing. The Living room has seating for 7 on couches and chairs and a large screen tv. We enjoyed games at the Dining table and the Kitchen was equipped with everything needed for cooking. The beds were very comfortable, many of them were newer the Master was huge. The best part of this cottage was the easy stroll across the street to the Beach. Don't even need to take a cooler as it is so quick to pop back for a drink, a snack or the bathroom. Every night was stop and watch the Sunsets from the Porch. I wish I was still there. The owner was great to deal with and definitely want to rent again.

Cottage in great location right across from beach and next door to espressos and ice cream! Doesn’t get any better. Owners very responsive and friendly with super customer service. Wonderful family vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay at Seagulls Nest it is ideally located across from the beach which is a huge convenience. The views from the front deck are beautiful. The main floor is very inviting. Lots of space and very airy. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds were all very comfortable, the master bedroom is very large and comes with an ensuite bathroom. The areas that could be improved would be the outdoor seating specifically the seating around the fire pit. I would recommend this property.

The property was very spacious with an amazing access to the beach. 2 Fantastic decks for viewing the evening sunsets. Lots of room for the entire family.

I would recommend this property highly and the owner Stefan was great

Such a great place to spend time with our family. The house has lots of space and proximity to the beach was enjoyed. The sunsets are outstanding - whether from the beach or the porch. Ice cream two doors down was also enjoyed by many. A cottage handbook would be very helpful. We have had something similar at other cottages that lists local attractions, restaurants to try, farmer's markets, and excursions suggestions. We lucked into Rustic pizza which was great but having a heads up about the hours of other local restaurants would be appreciated. For example, the local baker only makes beignets on the weekend - would have like to know this......overall a definite hit with all of us.

Exactly as advertised, a lovely place and very clean and easy. Fire pit and front porch are highlights as is the great beachfront location, and the coffee place next door.
