About this property

Beachfront Cottage: Brick Fireplace + Ocean Deck

Welcome to your beachfront cottage retreat. Located just three doors from the famous Kingfisher Resort & Spa, easily walkable along the beach. With private beach access, ocean wildlife views, and a cozy interior anchored by a real brick fireplace, this home is ideal for couples, families, and dog lovers looking to unwind.

The living space is warm and inviting, with a fireplace stocked with included wood, and large windows framing ocean views. Outside, the deck overlooks the water, perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. There’s also an outdoor fire pit with Muskoka chairs (seasonal fire bans apply).

Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms: a king with ensuite, a queen, and a room with two double beds, all on a single level with just one step from the driveway. The kitchen is updated and includes a server’s window to the dining area. The bathroom shows its age, but the home is clean, well-stocked, and full of character.

Amenities include:
• Pack-and-play & high chair
• Books, board games, and binoculars
• Smart TVs in living room & master
• BBQ, Keurig, and drip coffee
• Fast Wi-Fi & workspace
• Large driveway w/ turnaround (set 50 yards from road)

The beach is rocky, not sandy, great for walks, dogs, or wildlife viewing. While fully dog-friendly, the yard is not fenced. Please check local fire restrictions before using the outdoor pit. Whether you’re reading by the fire or exploring the shoreline, this is a relaxed, memorable place to recharge.

Amazing stay

If you want to be on the ocean, close to amenities but far enough that you feel you’re on a magical escape, this is the place. We enjoyed the view, the fire pits (inside and out), and will be back for sure.

Peaceful family getaway

We had a lovely, quiet week here. The property was nice and private and we enjoyed walks on the beach, reading on the deck (enjoying the view), and exploring nearby communities. The check-in and check-out instructions were really clear and the layout of the house worked well for me, my husband, our son, and my mom.

Roomy house

My brother and I enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable and the shared living space was perfect. While we were right on the water, the beach (shown in advertising) is far down the shoreline, not directly in front of the house. The grounds leading to the waterfront is overgrown. I'd still recommend it as a great place to stay.

Perfect Family Get Away

We really enjoyed our long weekend at Sunnyshore. The house was perfect for our family (all 3 kids had their own beds!). The kitchen was very well appointed with everything we needed and well stocked. We were lucky to have a storm day and got to watch the big waves from the cozy living room facing the beach. We hope to come back again when we come to the area!
