Vacation rentals with beach access in Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands

My and I stayed 3-nights at the Mutchmor Lofts - "The Cabin" during the 2nd week of September. The premise is spotless and well-appointed. The cabin is less than a stone-throw away from a beautiful & pristine sandy beach; and because it's the shoulder season, the beach is peaceful and that's exactly what my wife and I are looking for. We were given to understand by the locals that Providence Bay has the best sandy beach for swimming in Manitoulin Island and we agree. The area has an elevated boardwalk to protect the vegetation and the sand dunes; it's well-maintained. While you are taking a leisure stroll on the boardwalk, turn left for a short distance toward a small bridge where the Mindemoya River from Lake Mindenmoya drains into the mouth of bay and, fortunate for us, because September is the salmon spawning season, we came to witness an amazing scene of salmon gathering. We enjoyed our stay at Mutchmor, and we would like to thank Matthew for being just a great host.

Great stay! Johanne's suite is attached to a church and located close to the river and the downtown area. Her place is exceptionally clean and well-decorated. Johanne was responsive and keen to ensure that everything was good with my stay. I would recommend Johanne's place if visiting Blind River.

Great spot to stay to explore Manitoulin. The location is very central so it's quick to drive to the top spots. Fire pit and beach access at the location is a great perk. Nano is a very friendly and responsive host, helped us with some small issues during our stay.

Wonderful stay and delightful host!

We used Janyn’s place as a “home base” for two great days of riding on Manitoulin. And when I say “home base” that’s exactly how it felt, “Our Home Away From Home”. Perfect location, walking distance to everything needed, great restaurants, the Manitoulin Brewery, and the list goes on. Thanks for having us! We will be back!!!

Thank you Jewel for allowing us to enjoy some peace and quiet in your beautiful home. She was very welcoming, making sure we felt right at home. The location was great, perfect for exploring the area; this gorgeous place is steps away from the water, we took the paddle boat for a trip along the water front, so fun on the sunset and in the evening we had an amazing bonfire. Also she has an adorable dog Sailor Moon, so cute. Highly recommended staying here!!

Unconventional but comfortable space, great location, great communication. My family had a great time. Thanks Sue!

We had a great stay here. The house was beautiful and had everything me could need and more during our stay. I loved the beautiful and private location and breathtaking scenery of the lake from the house. The host were very welcoming and responsive to our needs. I would definitely recommends this place in Manitoulin island and we would plan to come back here soon.

Place was great for our crew of 4! Enjoyed the wood stove in the evening when the temp chilled down, everyone felt like they had their own space. When working out of town, a full kitchen is always nice to make good quality food. Thanks guys, we will certainly book again if we’re working in the area again! Thanks

The house was beautiful, clean and so cozy! We felt right at home. The host was friendly and responsive. The place had all the amenities you could need and coffee for the morning which is important:) Loved the lake right behind the house. A very peaceful stay. Would definitely stay here again!

A lovely place to stay in Manitoulin. A spacious cottage with lots of room in the kitchen for cooking, a comfortable living room and a nice large TV. The patio was so inviting with comfy furniture and a beautiful view of the lake. We especially loved swimming in the lake! A sandy bottom and shallow, like a lot of the beaches on Lake Huron. There are amazing hikes close by with lots of options for places to eat and buy food. We would stay here again in our next visit to Manitoulin for sure.

The cottage was lovely and peaceful with a great access to the waterfront. The cottage is well laid out and very conducive to having a group stay there with a well provisioned kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and large uncluttered access in the living area. The view from the cottage and the large cottage deck of sunsets was awesome and use of the 2 kayaks made for great fun. Manitoulin Island is somewhat remote, but this cottage is close to Kagawong that has a general store, and 2 take-out restaurants. The pastry/ice cream shop, chocolate shop, and pottery stores in Kagawong are also nearby and worth a visit as is Bridal Falls. Garbage and recycle drop off is conveniently located about a ten-minute drive from the cottage. Overall, we would recommend this cottage and would definitely stay there again. Rob & Lorraine

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The Airbnb’s wood-burning hot tub and Scandinavian-inspired decor created such a relaxing and cozy atmosphere. The location in the Bruce Peninsula was stunning, and the host went above and beyond to make our experience special. They recommended a fantastic place for fresh bread, which we loved, and even gave us a heads-up to watch for the Aurora Borealis—a magical highlight of our trip! Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature in a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back!

Caitlin’s place was beautiful. The area is very serene and relaxing. The home had all amenities described and more. I especially appreciated all the amenities that were made with kids in mind. We had more than enough space and entertainment options for everyone without even leaving the house. Nearby there is lots to do within 5-30 min drive. Would be a great walking/running area as well. Just note if you go after Oct. 20 some things in the area start closing for the season and most are closed by the 31st. Caitlin was very responsive, helpful, and considerate. She was quick to message back with recommendations and answer questions. We loved our stay at the Toasted Marshmallow!

We absolutely loved our family stay here! Frank was very friendly and responsive. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. What stood out was how well stocked the home was. We rented all three levels, and each kitchen was better equipped than any home we have rented before. There were a lot of extras around the home, such as high end finishes, tasteful decor - even a nice selection of board games and books. Loved the bbqs and firepit! Our kids spent hours paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming. The lake was very calm and peaceful. We hope to come back and enjoy again.
