MIKE & ANDREA'S TIPS ON WHERE TO STAY... The area has a number of options depending on your needs. Below are some we recommend, including our own Sea Breeze Cottage. From our spacious home to the area's best inn and bed & breakfast, these accommodations are a cut above the rest. We hope you find the perfect place to enjoy your precious vacation time! Sea Breeze Cottage... Sea Breeze is an idyllic 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom waterfront cottage on the shores of Lake Ontario. Our favorite feature is the outdoor hot tub, from which you can watch the sun rise and warm the sky in the mornings. The cottage comes fully equipped with linens, satellite TV, WiFi, and a fireplace. Provincial Park parking pass included to enjoy Presquile and Sandbanks Provincial Parks. Visit this Website to Find Out More... Away in the County B&B... Located on the beautiful shores of East Lake in the village of Cherry Valley in Prince Edward County, Away in the County B&B is just as serene as its name suggests. This tranquil and peaceful escape for adults offers privacy and peace but is also only 10 minutes away from Picton and 15 minutes away from Sandbanks Provincial Park. Don't miss the "field to fork" breakfast. Visit this Website to Find Out More... The Woodlawn Inn... This Inn comes with a #1 rating on TripAdvisor for B&B's in Cobourg. It's easy to understand why! Although the hotel opened in 1988, the building dates to 1835, so retains an elegant style. With 20 rooms, the hotel feels intimate and individual. It also features free WiFi throughout, and a good restaurant with some great wines and craft beers. The harbour area is an easy walk at less than a mile away. Visit this Website to Find Out More... MIKE & ANDREA'S Practical Information Kitchen inclusions... Bringing your dog... Sea Breeze clothing... If you are staying at a vacation rental property be sure to contact the owners of the property to find out what is provided in the kitchen. For example, herbs and spices, condiments, tea, coffee, and similar other items. It is much cheaper to bring these things from home than have to buy them once you arrive. Some important tips to consider: 1 Always ensure you pack a spare towel, bottled water and a bowl for day trips/hikes; 2 Be sure to keep your dog on a leash as there are predators big and small (coyotes / ticks) that are more prevalent in cottage country; 3 Pack extra dog poop bags for cleaning up the yard after your vacation! At any time of year, visiting locations near Lake Ontario will usually be cooler than areas inland. It's always a good idea to pack an additional layer for any day trips out close to the water. Not only does the water temperature bring the ambient temperature down, there tends to be a "sea breeze" as well.
