About this property

Water's Edge: Your gateway to Prince Edward County

Experience all that Prince Edward County has to offer from the comfort of your own private retreat on the shores of Lake Ontario and Weller’s Bay.

An ideal location for groups and families, Water’s Edge offers close access to the region’s renown wineries, breweries, & festivals as well as a half acre of waterfront living space. Whether you spend the day biking through wine country, lounging on a sandy beach, hiking through a provincial park or perusing local shops, there is something for everyone! At night, enjoy spectacular sunsets, stargazing into the Milky Way, and toasting marshmallows around a campfire.

September-June: pricing for the cottage/6 people. Add the 4th bedroom and/or additional people for a fee. Ask for more details.
June-August: pricing for the entire property/10 people.

Inside, your group will enjoy an open concept kitchen, dining and living area with sweeping views of the waterfront. Log into your Netflix or Prime account, break out the board games or light a fire for everyone to enjoy.

If you are on dinner duty, not to worry, cooking in this fully equipped kitchen is a breeze with enough space to accommodate a sous chef or two! You’ll find lots of counter space, stainless steel appliances, and all the bake, cook, glass and serve-ware for large meals (including wine and beer glasses).

Trying to decide which bedroom will be yours? We make the decision easy! All bedrooms have individual climate control (aircon and heat), pillow top or memory foam beds, cotton sheets, ample pillows, soft towels, clocks with USB ports and flashlights.

Outdoors, you have a ton of options!

If you are heading to a provincial park for the day, don’t forget to grab the park pass* on the fridge and a few beach towels, blankets, and camp chairs (included).

Going sightseeing? Make sure to take a look at our selection of guide books and maps – need a suggestion? Just ask! We love to give recommendations.

Kayaking your scene? Grab a life jacket and head out! You’ll find 10 life jackets of various sizes as well as 2 kayaks, 2 stand up paddle boards, and1 paddleboat (seats two).

Prefer a low key day around the cottage? Choose from a selection of lawn games, fire up the BBQ (propane included), pop up the sun shade and set out a lounger. Fish off of the dock or take a dip in the water. Right in-front of the cottage, the water is about 2-3 feet deep and then gets gradually deeper.

At dusk, get that firepit going so you can be prepared to watch a stunning sunset and stargaze -keep an eye out for satellites as they streak across the sky.

A beautiful, clean property with a spectacular view
I stayed here with friends for a weekend and just loved it. I have nothing but good things to say. The lake is closer to the house than it seemed from the pictures which made for a spectacular view. Because it faces south, you can see both sunrise and sunset over the water. The house itself is very modern and tastefully decorated. It's also the most well stocked rental property I've stayed in. It was very clean and extremely well organized. The host was very responsive to messages and questions during our stay.

November at Water’s Edge
Really nice clean modern well appointed house, amazing well stocked kitchen, nice large living room, comfortable beds in really nice bedrooms, beautiful view through huge windows. Loved it, would stay there again! We explored Picton and Wellington, went to Sandbanks, sampled wine, and sampled balsamic vinegar.

Beautiful and peaceful
The Water's Edge is a lovely home base to explore Prince Edward County. After a day of exploring the parks, farm markets, and wineries, it was a perfect spot to come back and relax beside the water with a glass of wine! The photos really don't do the view justice. The inside of the home is nicely decorated, very clean, and comfortable. The space worked well for two couples to share and the kitchen was outfitted with pretty much anything you would need to cook your own meals. The sunrises were worth getting up for and we loved watching the birds!

Beautiful Property
The check in process was seamless. When we arrived everything was ready for us. A gift basket of vegetables grown right here on the property was waiting for us. The property was clean and fully stocked for everything we needed for our stay. Tons of activities were provided at the cottage for endless entertainment. I would stay here again and would recommend to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Perspective Properties

Host profile image
We are Aubrae and Peter Wilson and we're excited to welcome you to our cottage and your home away from home!

The cottage has been in the family since the 1920's (although it looked a lot different back then!) and has been both a home and vacation spot throughout the years. We took ownership in 2018 and completely reno'd the space so that we could provide our guests a place to make great memories, just like our family has!

Why they chose this property

- Perfect location to explore PEC and the surrounding area.
- Amazing waterfront and wildlife views.
- Stocked with all of the essentials so that you can pack light.
- Discounts on our half and full day boat charters (May - August)
- When staying with us, you're staying at an actual family owned and run property. When you reach out with questions you can expect to receive a prompt response from us, not a management company.

What makes this property unique

Close access to 2km long soft sandy provincial beach.
