Tom really makes the stay, he is excellent to deal with and he is really good with kids; the cottages are housekeeping cottages. The family and I really enjoyed our stay it was really relaxing, bring your own bedsheets and towels. The beach is nearby and if you have need for any information or issues call tom

Tom was wonderful. He made our vacation very enjoyable by being available to us when we needed him. He works hard to keep customers happy. We witnessed it with other vacationers as well. The cabins are pretty but could use some updating. Couch was not useable but chair and beds were comfortable.

We had a very pleasant stay at North Shore Cottages. The accommodations are very basic and rustic, but everything was in working order and clean. The location is great for families, it's directly across the street from a splash pad, playground and walking trails, and a beach is a couple minutes away. My older kids enjoyed a lot of freedom exploring on their own. It would be great for biking too. Communication with the owner was always polite and pleasant. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how quiet the area was at night. Overall, I recommend this stay, especially for families looking for a simple and quiet get away at a reasonable price. I would also strongly recommend to bring your own bedding and towels. We will be back!

I was looking for a place to stay for 1 night with the kids. We rented cottage #2. It was exceptionally clean, cozy, adorable and affordable. Great location right across from the water. The cottage had everything we needed. The man running the place was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. The kids loved it and we will definitely go here again ❤️

Unbeatable location across from North Shore Park. Just a few steps to the harbor and excellent sunset-watching location. It worked well for our purposes. Our cottage was very basic, pretty old, but clean. A coat of paint wouldn't hurt. The entire property is for sale, which was a little disconcerting. Tom, the property manager, was very responsive.

Good location. North Shore Cottages is in close proximity to walk to Harbour Marina park/Beach in Port Elgin. Central spot for driving to Southampton or Sauble Beach. You can pay the same amount of money and stay at the Quality Inn down the road in South Hampton and have a clean spacious room, without cigarette butts in the window frame, somebody else’s garbage in your room, and management that actually know you’re arriving when you’re supposed to. The plus side - great location, quiet, great shower, pressure and hot water as long as you don’t mind the stains and mildew in the bottom of the shower stall Great TV and cable Internet works great even though the Wi-Fi password did not work at all Air conditioning works like a champ Cute, gas fireplace I suppose if it gets cold Would I stay there again? Only if I was desperate

More rustic than expected. Drove through a lovely area and then arrived here - old mattresses lying in a trailer, weeds all over the place, NO BED LINEN OR TOWELS which we had not been advised, card board around he AC window, hole in fly screen, bathroom window not secure - think you get the picture. There was no sign to an office, we had to go and knock on a door. Yes it was certainly an authentic Canadian log cabin as the owner told us.
