“Chase the Sunshine”. Never pay a cleaning fee!

The Northern Lights may be a much more common occurrence. No place better to observe than the western side of Pelee Island!

Welcome to the sun dappled deck of Dockside B in the hub that is the West Shore of Pelee Island. Close enough to walk for a snack at Pelee Coneheads, an afternoon Caesar at Westview Tavern or a craft beer at the Stone House 1891. A quick bike ride will get you to the Pelee Island Heritage Museum rich with the history of the early settlers or spend an afternoon singing along and dancing to the live music offered on most weekends at the outdoor Pavilion at Canada's largest private estate winery, aptly named the Pelee Island Winery . Dockside B is conveniently nestled in the midst of it all.

The accommodations offers a sunlit filled living space with 2 bedrooms, open concept full sized kitchen with a massive dining table. The deck and front yard fire pit afford a view of the "Key West like" sunsets or "dark night" atmosphere for star gazing. So please come for the ice cream but stay for the sunsets and the Big Dipper!

Sunset Haven - Spectacular

This is the perfect property for a stay. It is so close to the ferry and restaurants. The property has an amazing deck to sit and enjoy your coffee in the morning and your wine watching the sunset at night. It is very clean; Dawn is an amazing hostess who will help you with anything.

This was the perfect place to stay on the island, as far as we were concerned. The view of the sunsets from inside the spacious living area through the patio doors was magnificent! The deck area just outside the doors was a wonderful place to have an evening meal or have a drink while looking out at the lake!

Awesome stay on Pelee Island

We had a wonderful stay in this adorable cottage. The view was amazing and the cottage was super comfortable, very clean and well stocked. We saw 4 bald eagles that hung out above us for our entire stay. Easy to walk to the ferry, restaurants and the winery. Great communication by Dawn also. We would book here again for sure next time we visit the island.

Weekend getaway

My partner and I came to Pelee Island for the first time and had a wonderful weekend getaway. Our stay was perfection and our host Dawn proved to be one of the sweetest most accomodating renters we've encountered to date. This rental has to be one of, if not the, best stay on the island. We will definitely be returning next year for more.
