Serene Cottage Escape Near North Beach

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy apartment-style cottage in Carrying Place! It was the perfect spot for me, my husband, and our dog, with a friend joining us for one night. The cottage is well-suited for one or two couples, with two comfortable bedrooms and a full kitchen that made it easy to settle in.The peaceful waterfront location was a highlight—perfect for fishing, kayaking, and bird watching. We loved having access to kayaks and a paddle boat right on-site. It was so relaxing just sitting by the water and soaking in the quiet.We were also close to North Beach Provincial Park, where our dog had an absolute blast swimming and playing in the sand.All in all, it was a serene and refreshing getaway. We’d absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat close to nature.

Working and fishing on the bay

My wife and I wanted a place on the water that was close to the GTA (less than 2 hours) and offered good wi-fi. Sun Chaser Bay easily checked all the boxes and then some. It was very clean, spacious and very comfortable for the two of us and it could easily handle more guests. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking meals (if inclined) and the grounds are quite large and very private, camp fires on the waters edge each night were as amazing as the sunrise, sunset and even a harvest moon. Due to the excellent weather (hot +25C, sunny, windless) fishing was somewhat challenging but we caught numerous bass. Launching our fishing kayaks from the property was easy. Our host, Kim was a very thoughtful person and truly cared about her guests. She made a brief introductory appearance and left us to our privacy. Highly recommend Sun Chaser Bay.........cheers Harold and Liz

Comfy with a beautiful view

Well equiped clean and spacious private apartment. Beautiful view of the bay. Kim has provided everything you would ever need or want and sent a wonderful detailed overview just prior to arrival. The wine route is short scenic drive away with so many to choose from. We had dinner and brunch in nearby Wellington about 30 minutes away. Super pleasant stay that I would highly recommend.

Charming little get away

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The place was conveniently located just outside of town and 15 minutes from North Beach. Kim was super friendly and accommodating and the apartment was in good shape. The one thing we were disappointed about is that swimming off the dock was not possible due to the shallow water and thick lily pads all around. The kayaks were fun though and the games were great on our rainy day. Overall I would recommend it as a great place to stay in the area.

Fall Getaway

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property during our fall getaway to Prince Edward County. The host went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable while maintaining privacy. The location was perfect - close to amenities in Trenton and a good distance from the places we sought out to visit in Prince Edward County. The location had a great view inside and from the patio of the lake including its inhabitants, the swans and waterfowl.
