We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Paddles on the Porch. It is a great location with close proximity to the town life. Court and Louise were very helpful and friendly. The house was fully stocked with all of your needs, including bathroom toiletries. We couldn't have asked for a better time at Alex Bay. Thank You!!

Amazing ! Great experience. Far exceeded our expectations. Loved every minute of our stay. Ideal location did not need to use our car at all. Everything within walking distance. House was as pictured only better! Beds very comfortable. Plenty of linens available. Kitchen well stocked Didn’t use outdoor grill but it was available. Hosts very nice. Introduced themselves and very informative regarding local activities we were a family of 6 and had plenty of room. Did not feel crowded if you’re looking for someplace to vacation look no further. We visit area every year and this place was the best ever. Look forward to returning

The property is perfectly placed to have a great Alexandria Bay experience.
You can walk to town; the Tiki Bar is steps away and access to boat tours is steps away.
Going to Canada is a snap.
The owners take great pride in their property. The kitchen is stocked with anything you can imagine you would need to make cooking like home. They supply shampoo, body wash, bug spray and suntan lotion! I have never been to a place that provides bug spray and suntan lotion!
The yard is right on the St. Lawerence River. A huge fire pit/sitting area. A peaceful place to start or end your day. I would highly recommend this property.

Overall this is a great property! We were able to tie up our boat for the weekend and walk right up to the house. Everything was clean and well updated, views from the property were second to none and it's an easy walk to downtown. Highly recommend!

This was our first time to the area and we were so happy to be staying in the heart of it. Paddles on the Porch is a perfect location to walk to town, but also have direct access to the water. We brought our boat and loved having the ability to dock it right just a few steps away. The house was great - Great kitchen, comfy beds, and awesome deck to hang out on. We enjoyed the fire pit in the yard and there is a tiki bar only a few steps away that we enjoyed afternoon cocktails everyday. I can't say enough about how wonderful the location is and how well the hosts run the process.

This is our 4th year returning to the property. It is always super clean and has pretty much everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The owners are great. Easy to communicate with and super friendly with great advice on what to check out and anything going on event wise. They are right next door which was great incase we needed anything but they aren’t intrusive on your stay. We love coming back with our family/friends each year. We stayed with a 1, 4, 7, 10, and 12 year and 4 adults. Plenty of space in the house for all of us. The gift shops and restaurants were all within walking distance. Definitely a great location to be. We can’t wait to come back next year.

What a place! We could paddleboard straight from the dock, head on over to the Tiki Bar, or walk into town. There happened to be "Blues on the Bay," a free music festival going Labor Day weekend of our trip. There was plenty of space for two sets of grandparents, ourselves, and our young son to spread out. Definitely recommend! There was something broken with the grill and Court came right over to bring the parts and replace - very nice hosts :)

This is our 3rd year returning to the property. The house was clean as usual and it was easy to contact the owners if we needed anything or had questions. The house is in the perfect location. Right on the water and shops super close by. Pretty much everything you could need is in walking distance. Waltons market around the corner was super convenient for the kids snacking needs and had some delicious breakfast sandwiches. The kids loved being able to walk to all the gift shops and the fudge/candy shop. We can’t wait to return next year and make more amazing memories.

We had 10 family members in this home and it was plenty big enough for everyone. It was very clean and stocked better than we could have hoped. The owners where very attentive, but still very respectful of our privacy. Louise showed us everything when we got there, and Court was available to take care of a very - very - small issue we had - the hosts where great! The location was fantastic. We loved the charm of the house while still being completely updated. The beds where super comfy. Honestly we have nothing negative to say! It was a great vacation and we would not hesitate to book again! Thank you!

Better than expected
Three couples stayed here for a week while pontooning on the St Lawrence River. The house was immaculate and well provisioned. The host was helpful and friendly. We used the dock, which was located right behind the house, so we didn't have far to go to get on the boat. If you want to take a tour boat they are very close and it is a short walk to the downtown area stores. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone going to the Alexander Bay area.

This is a beautiful property with an even better view of the river.
Court and Louise were fantastic! Extremely friendly and very thorough with the check in process. The house is very quant with a lot of history. We will definitely be back!

Great place for an extended family BBQ.
This was our 3rd stay at Paddles on the Porch. We love it. Its spacious clean and great for families. The backyard and supersize grill is perfect for a great BBQ. The location on the river is perfect for morning sunrise and evening sunsets. The deck with lots of seating is fabulous for daily chats with easy access to coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. Court and Louise are great hosts always ready to help but not intrusive. We will be back!

Family vacation
Our family of ten had a wonderful time at this rental, the owners were extremely nice, the house was very clean and well stocked. It was close to restaurants and shopping as well as tourists attractions. We had fire in fire pit grilled outside, and roasted marshmallows. Awesome family time.

Good Time
Rented out this house and another with 19 people total This property's grill and picnic area were great for when the group go together.
The home had a number of nooks making it possible to get away from the group when needed.
I ended up using the dock's at the other house. The docks at this house are great to fish off for kids but are angled a little funny for boat use. Perhaps they would have shuffled the moorings had I used it.

Great Owners Providing Excellent Service
We throughly enjoyed our stay, largely due to the wonderful hosts, Court & Louise. The only real negative is that all 4 beds (listed as queens) were actually double/full with queen size sheets. The king size bed was a true king, but perhaps they were told that they were queen size and they never actually measured the beds.
5.0
Great accommodations and location.
Owners, Court and Louise, have set up a really nice place to stay. They were very responsive to our needs and requests. The home is nicely updated and very clean. Couldn’t have asked for a more convenient location for launching and docking our boat. Downtown Alex Bay was only a few minutes walk away for shopping and dining. We had such a good experience we have already booked our next stay.

Great place to stay and entertain!
We return every year to Paddles. Its super clean, kitchen is well stocked and the backyard view and amenities can't be beat. Great place to picnic and enjoy the firepit. Centrally located to town too!!

Fathers Day Fishing Trip
Court and Louise were close by to the property and kindly explained all of the house rules and requirements. This is within walking distance to downtown and nearby restaurants with a gorgeous view of the Bay off of the back porch. Very clean and well kept property that easily accommodated all of my large family and allowed them to relax and enjoy a beautiful weekend. Thank you Court and Loise for sharing this lovely property! We cant wait to book another fishing charter and come back!

Perfect weekend getaway - great location!
My mother-in-law had never been to Alexandria Bay so all the kids got together and gave her a weekend as a Christmas gift. This was the perfect house for 7 adults and 1 child. Plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Location is perfect right on the water and walk to everything! The house was very clean and has everything you need. The only thing I would point out is there is construction going on next door and if you wanted to sit outside on the deck it's quite noisy during the day. Court the host was very responsive and when we couldn't figure out the A/C units he got back to us right away. This was a wonderful weekend getaway and we would definitely stay here again.

Very clean and great location
This property was absolutely perfect for a girls weekend away. Court was a very friendly and accommodating host who made sure we had everything we needed upon check-in. The house is beautiful and was very clean. The location was also very convenient! The house is right on the water and is walking distance from everything in A-Bay. We all loved our stay here and definitely plan on returning!

Nice time with family
The house was exactly as listed and described. Big kitchen fully stocked, nice back yard with a huge grill and fire pit (our toddlers enjoyed their first s’mores). House is within walking distance to everything in town. The beds may need to be upgraded at some point, but we brought our own pillows which helped.
4.0
Clean and close to town
The property is a short walk to town and adjacent to the Riveredge Resort. Rental was clean and owner made sure you had everything you needed, and supplied wood for the fireplace. If you have a boat, the dock is not much and requires a couple of people to maneuver. The backyard is a little funky, and views are a little skewed because of the orientation of the yard and the adjacent marina. But overall it's quaint and recommend for small groups who want to be close to town.
