About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
3 minutes to the beach, private and spacious.
Blue Sky Cottage is 750 feet away from Lurgan Beach in the hidden gem of Point Clark, Ontario. Surrounded by trees, the house is very private and nestled into a family-friendly neighbourhood.
You will have 4 spacious bedrooms that are completely separate from the main living/dining area and there's only one bed per bedroom.
Your laundry machines are on the main level and the enclosed porch is a lovely place to sit any time of year.
The driveway has parking for 3-5 cars.
The living room has a propane fireplace, a 58" Smart TV, Disney +, a Polk soundbar, and a waterproof Bluetooth speaker that's perfect for the beach and huge backyard.
The eat-in kitchen is equipped with a microwave, drip coffee machine, blender, toaster, crock pot, and kettle and seats 8 people comfortably.
The backyard is private with an outdoor dining area/deck, a barbeque/grill, plenty of grass, a great fire pit/sandbox, horseshoe pits, a picnic table, with soft overhead lighting. You can bask in the sun and enjoy shaded areas.
There's a children's playground, a tennis court, a basketball court, and a baseball diamond within 2 minutes. Inside the shed you'll find sports equipment, plenty of summer toys as well as five bicycles; two adult, two medium-sized, and one toddler bike. The whole area offers great cycling with a combination of paved, dirt, and gravel roads with flat terrain.
Location details: The Amberley General Store is only 8-minutes away and it's excellent. They sell essentials such as; groceries, ice, gas (vehicle), and it's an LCBO too. A Coffee Time and Mr. Sub are there as well.
Lurgan Beach is 2 kms long, semi-private, and only 750 feet from Blue Sky Cottage. We provide a pull-wagon for hauling beach gear for the 3-minute walk. The shoreline is shallow with a gradual slope making this a kid-friendly beach. Swimming shoes are recommended due to the pebbles and rocks in the sand and the sunsets are magnificent. Point Clark's public beach is a 6-minute drive or you can walk along the beach for 30-minutes towards the historical Point Clark lighthouse.
Just 15 minutes North of the cottage, en route to Kincardine where you can go shopping, is Family Funland where Go-Karts, mini-golf, and a driving range are. Just across the road is the Ainsdale public golf course.
Thank you very much for your interest and we look forward to arranging your family vacation for 2025 and beyond!!

Thank you for being such a great host. Checkin and out were simple and easy. Everything was thought of from a wagon for the beach to various books for kids. We loved it and will be back!
Great place, great location - quiet and friendly neighbourhood on the lake. Was in area for work, and sooooo much better than hotel living! Owner Ken was helpful and great to deal with. Would stay again for sure.
Our second stay…the house is perfectly situated a family vacation. It was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Easy walk or bike ride to the beach & lighthouse, nice yard and fire pit for campfires.
Thank you, Ken, for such a gem!

This property was incredible! It checked off all of our boxes, and even the boxes we didn't anticipate. I would definitely recommend this property to others, and I would stay there again next time I'm in the area.
The cottage is spacious, clean, private, short walk to the beach. Wonderful place for a family vacation. Comfortable beds. Great Kitchen. Large yard with great fire pit. Lots of outside space. Lots of outdoor seating. My family will be going back.
Had never been to this part of Ontario and was not in any way disappointed. The property is exactly as listed and pictured. We were all very pleased with the cottage, the outdoor activities and the easy access to the beach. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are hoping to be able to book the same cottage next year. Can't wait to go back!!!
It was a great holliday. The beach was close . the yard was big and my grandchildren loved every minute of this adventure. I would recommend it to everyone and would go back back in a heart beat. Sandra
We loved our stay at this cottage. Beautiful area. Very close to quiet Sandy beach and playgrounds for children. Large property with horseshoes and a great fire pit. We had fires every night. No mosquitos or bugs. The only suggestion I would have is to upgrade the lawn furniture.
I would definitely return and recommend to others.
Wonderful location. Beautiful beach. Exactly as described!
This is a lovely property. There was lots of room for 6 adults and 2 kids to enjoy the long weekend. The communication from the host was excellent.

Was not impressed
This cottage was ok. I have to say I have never given a review where I was not satisfied but there are some issues that should be addressed.
Upon arrival I spent well over an hour cleaning the cottage, it was like no one had been by to clean in between renters. Dirty hand prints smeared on the bathroom walls, sand all over the floor, counters with ?? on them, light switches and door knobs with months worth of dirt that needed to be scrubbed off, and a few more things that should have never been an issue.
We also have a few things we look for in places we stay every year and A/C is one of them. Upon booking the listing stated A/C (not just in one bedroom), a few weeks before we arrived we noticed that the A/C was now listed to be in one room only. IT WAS HOT! But I was not going to cancel and ruin my kids summer vacation. I would suggest another A/C unit on the main floor, or even screens on the doors so they can be opened for a cross breeze at least.
Do not even think you are using the oven also. We took the suggestion to cook at a lower temp as stated in the handbook, we even went lower them the 50 degrees that was stated and everything burnt. Luckily there is a nice bbq and side burner that we could use.
The bikes were a nice added bonus (we also left one there that our family doesn't use anymore). The beach near by is beautiful and the kids enjoyed how far out they could walk out in the water. Ken was very easy to reach when needed.
At the end of the day my kids had a a good time and that's all that matters but we will not returning to this location.
Absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Sky Cottage! The house is spacious with lots of rooms and everything you need for your stay. While only one room has a window A/C, it felt cool in the house during the day. The backyard is very nice - a great place for barbeque or fire at night or just lounging around. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed all the toys in and outside the house - lots to entertain the little ones. We also really loved the community - very quiet and welcoming. It's a very short walk to the beach which was fantastic. Many opportunities for short drives around - Point Clark, Kincardine. All in all, would highly recommend!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Blue Sky Cottage. There was lots of room for everyone inside and outside. Great fire pit and lots of spots for a quiet read or lively conversation. We brought a few things from home just in case, but everything we needed was already there. Ken was a great host too! Well maintained and comfortable for our multi-generational group. It took us a few days to find the short-cut to the beach, but we did find it. A map in the Welcome binder might have helped.
We had a great time at Ken’s place. It was a great place for our family of 4. The bedrooms were all a great size and my preschooler loved the bunk bed. It was close to the beach (5min walk) and nice to be around other cottages. The beach was nice. You definitely need water shoes as it’s quite rocky when you first get in. As you further out, it’s sandy and decently shallow. Overall a great time!
We spent a very pleasant week at Blue Sky Cottage.
A lot of the regular attractions in the area were closed, given the circumstances, but we enjoyed daily trips to the beach, and nightly BBQs and campfires in the backyard. We had everything we needed, and there was lots of room for everyone. It's just a quick run into Kincardine if we wanted a change of scenery, or to check out some of the walking trails and local restaurants. We were looking forward to a relaxing week in a beautiful spot with family, and that's what we got. We had to reach out to Ken for a couple of things during the week, and he was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely return again!
This cottage set up is great for families. The 4 bedrooms are separate from the main living area with a half bath and there is a nice size mud room with a washer and dryer . The huge fenced yard provided more than enough space for games, bonfires and relaxing in the shade or sun.
It is a quick walk to the beach or tennis court!
Bluesky cottage was just as advertised a really nice time for the whole family. The owner Ken very responsive and a decent guy to deal with. I would recommend to friends
Awesome location, cottage and property is a great size for our group of 6. Cottage needs some TLC. Renters are responsible for cleaning at end of stay. Cleaners do come, I suspect they only do washrooms. Furniture and floors were covered in sand. Likely due to the vacuum cleaner not working. No cleaning supplies such as Lysol or toilet bowl cleaner to properly clean throughout our stay or on departure.
Great little spot - made for a nice change from a hotel for a business trip. Ken is helpful and quick to respond. Would definitely stay again.
thanks!

Nice location but not clean
Cottage location was good but the cleanliness left something to be desired. We are glad the weather was nice so we could spend most of our time outside.

Our family enjoyed a great week at this cottage. We love both that it is a short walk to the beach and the park for young kids. The large backyard and sandbox were great as well. This cottage is very clean and well maintained. Thanks Ken!
