Beachfront vacation rentals in Greater Toronto Area

Lovely getaway from the city, very peaceful and not far from downtown Barrie. Katrina was a wonderful host and made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you!

great place, great stay and great host!!

DJ's place is a beautiful location and as described. DJ was also accommodating to allow an extra dog. Our weekend away was very enjoyable. I thought there could have been better communication between us and the host/co hosts. There were times where my messages were read immediately but responded to over 24 hours later, or ignored entirely. There were no issues with the place itself. I would return again.

It's a best place and peaceful. Spent our days calmly and the view behind the cottage is awesome.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Lakefield, Ontario. The check-in process was seamless and communication with the host was smooth throughout. The cottage was cozy and well-kept, nestled in a peaceful and quiet setting that made for a truly relaxing getaway. I especially loved the tranquil surroundings—perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. Everything was just as described, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy a serene retreat!

I can't put into words how peaceful this place was. If fate allows, I've already made up my mind to go back!! The house is super spacious, clean and well stocked. Elena did a great job in creating such an inclusive and beautiful home. 5 stars + 3! Everything was seamless and caused us no issues. Thanks so much for having me!

Great host and a A1 bnb Place is great Recommend it to anyone

amazing location on the waterfront. So relaxing to be away from the city. was great for travelling with kids. thank you for letting us stay

Tasha was amazing and extremely responsive. Anytime there were any small issues she was on top of it right away. She always gave us suggestions to ensure that we were having a good time and using all the tools she had. The location did not disappoint. Absolutely stunning waterfront. I highly recommend this property as a great vacation spot. Another note Tasha had everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and on the property. Five stars!!

Very nice and peaceful location, had an amazing and relaxing time with my family. Host was very responsive and accommodating, great value for money. It felt like home, with amazing restaurants, overall great experience… Hope to be back in summer!

Ollie and Frank were tremendous hosts. We loved the log cabin and all their recommendations were exceptional. We will be back!!!

Gary & Mina were excellent hosts. They greeted us for check in and where very accommodating. Any questions we had were quickly answered via the AirBNB app. The house was full of character and had lots of things to do indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, utensils and kitchen wares. There was a washer/dryer centrally located which was great for towels and the Weber BBQ was in top notch condition. Water toys well maintained (2 kayaks, 1 paddle board, 1 canoe and 1 paddle boat). Pool and hot tub worked great, which was a must for our cottage getaway.

Lovely lovely place. Sitting on the deck watching over the blue waters of the bay - dreamy! Kids had fun at the beach and in the pool. Highly recommend.

Idyllic gem on Georgian bay. Perfect for a small family getaway by the lake. The resort pool is a big plus for the kids. Beautiful surroundings and stunning sunsets. Jefferson is a great host. Very friendly and responsive. He kindly accommodated our request.

We had a wonderful and pleasant stay! The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The place was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We’re already planning to come back again. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I stayed the weekend, it was a great location, Joe was very responsive and friendly! We had only 1 concern with the bbq that was not clean, but it has been handled with effectively. Overall space was very clean, it was easy to find kitchen supplies, and other items in the house! A great location with stores, restaurants at a walking distance, and other attractions within a 30 minute drive

Very big and beautiful place! We really enjoyed our stay here, there was more than enough room for the 9 of us. Really enjoyed the hot tub as well!

We had an amazing stay at Oren‘s place. It’s a beautiful property, and the perfect place for a little getaway. Warren was extremely communicative and easy to reach. He helped us navigate through the house with ease. It accommodates up to 16 people and has 14 beds which was more than enough for my entire family. Will definitely be staying here again!

A Truly Wonderful Stay – Thank You! Dear David, I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for such an amazing stay at your property. From the very beginning, it was clear that you put a lot of thought and care into ensuring your guests have the best experience. The house was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The little details you included really made a difference – from the thoughtful touches throughout the house to the high-quality amenities that made us feel right at home. We were able to unwind completely, and the peaceful atmosphere was just what we were hoping for. The location was also perfect, offering both convenience and tranquility. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely love to return next time we’re in the area. Thank you once again for being such a wonderful host and for providing us with such a memorable experience.

We were in town working and this place was perfect and the hosts were a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to our next stay.

We rented Amanda's place for 2 nights in the winter and it surpassed our expectations! Amanda was a great communicator. The older cottage has been extensively renovated, it was clean, comfortable and cozy. We loved the wood stove and the heating system worked well. The kitchen is first-rate, and very well-equipped, it even had decent knives! We cook a lot and we very much enjoyed making meals there. We loved watching the ever-changing weather on the river from the picture window in the living room, and even saw a beautiful sunrise. The star of our stay was the sauna—we have a wood-burning sauna at home and at our cottage—and we were very impressed with its size, the modern design, the huge picture window and the style of stove. It got up to temperature even in -17 degree weather. We hiked and snowshoed in the Alexander Hope Smith Nature Reserve which was a walk from the cottage. The town of Washago was a 11 minute drive, with a great grocery store. Would definitely stay there again!

We look forward to coming back here each fall to immerse ourselves in the bounty of harvest season! Everything is top notch! See Bald eagles, Osprey, fish jumping everywhere, amazing sunsets....

The house was great and as pictured. The ceilings were low but it was not an issue for my family. There was plenty of wood for the indoor fireplace and the fire pit outside. Unfortunately the weather did not allow us to have a fire outside. The beds were very comfortable. They also put up a Christmas tree for our stay which was above and beyond. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was adorable, could definitely use some updating, but it was perfect to relax by the lake for a couple of days. I will say the big bathroom with the good shower and 2 bedrooms were up a very narrow set of spiral stairs, so it would be very difficult to take a suitcase up. Another potential issue was a gas smell coming from the closer with the furnace, but Lisa assured me that her "furnace" guy checked it out and everything was good, also there are carbon monoxide detectors on each level. It was a great relaxing location and the neighbors were quiet. The hot tub was murky, maybe it could use a shock treatment or something? We still used it and watched the sunset. There was a little convenience store down the road with really tasty breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos. We enjoyed our stay.
