Welcome to The Emerald on Bessie in Port Stanley! We just bought this cottage in April 2022 and we have our family cottage around the corner. This gem has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and is just steps to the main beach, and restaurants. It sleeps 6 people with two queen sized beds, a pull out couch (double) and a futon (double). Enjoy sitting outside on the private deck or walk to shops, parks and the main beach. Parking for 2 vehicles, hi-speed Internet, smart TV, central A/C, laundry, dishwasher, BBQ.

Proximity to beach and amenities
I love Port Stanley and this beach cottage was located 5 minute walk to the beach. It gave you the feeling of being at the beach but still modernized enough that you felt comfortable. The host are attentive and respond to questions immediately.
Great stay and will be back.

About the host
Hosted by Janice Sumler
We just purchased this cottage in April 2022. We own our family cottage quite close by. My husband, Ryan, and our two children are in Port Stanley often and are excited what our little town has to offer.
Why they chose this property
The Emerald is a 4 minute walk to the Port Stanley main beach. Enjoy a drink with friends at GTs or the Pierside Pub - both located very close!
