Writing an honest review as I hope it helps other families avoid our experience. We have been staying along the same stretch of Lake Ontario for the past ten years, so we are very familiar with the area. The camp we usually rent was not available this year, so we found this listing. The owner was very responsive to my initial inquiry. However, I believe the listing is somewhat misleading. The listing states that it is a waterfront property, and while that is true, there is no direct access to the water from the property. The owner did disclose that to me before I booked but also told me a private beach was "just up the road" and the listing states a "white sands beach is located 1000 feet away". We learned shortly after checking in that the private beach is almost exactly one mile down the road, and the beach was a rocky shoreline with no sand. (I am aware that the beach conditions change from year to year and week to week, but this simply was not the case.) We did not bring water shoes, and no beach chairs are provided at the property, making it unrealistic to hang out there. If you are looking to spend time on Lake Ontario and see beautiful sunsets, this property is fine for that. But if you are like our family and like to walk out the door of the camp, walk a few feet to the shore, and spend sunup to sundown in the water and sand, this is not the location for you.
