Beachfront holiday rentals in Shanty Bay

The best experience, Amanda is an amazing host :)

Ashley was quick to respond to messages and the room was very clean. It is somewhat far from surrounding towns. This is the ideal place for a quiet and cozy stay.

The place was beautiful, looking out onto a lake with clean swimmable water. And there was a beach only 5 minutes away. Everything inside the house was clean and well-stocked. Richard was also very responsive with any inquiries. Overall, a great place, very well worth it!

Katie and Derek's property is stunning and relaxing, and their responsiveness was also fantastic. The property is even nicer than the pictures show, and there is a great attention to detail with their decor and amenities (such as readily available bug spray). The location is great and has lots of privacy. It felt like an incredibly recharging experience! What really was above and beyond was their communication. There was a slight issue with the fridge, but every step of the way, Derek and Katie were very positive and accommodating. They responded to our messages promptly and helped us find a solution so that we could enjoy our stay regardless. With their accommodations and attentiveness, it was as if the issue had never existed in the first place. Thank you to Katie and Derek for an incredible stay, and we hope to rebook with you in the future!

Daniel gave a thorough intro message of specifics the day of on top of what was already so clearly laid out. The property was beautiful with access to so many activity options. House is clean and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the dock which had a great selection of furniture and sun/shade options. The beach is a close walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and will likely be back to enjoy the space again!

Had an amazing weekend stay with a family of 6 plus a pup - enough of room for us to sit lakeside and enjoy indoor dining. We had a blast using the many water toys and stocked garage with lawn activities. The many aircrafts flying overhead added interest as well!

Jennifer was great. We all loved the space. Very cozy and beautiful view. Also enjoyed the kayaks and hanging at the dock. Wasaga Beach is nearby and we enjoyed spending time at the beach. There is an awesome cafe on site by the cottages which was fantastic. Overall a Greta experience. Highly recommend and would love to come back.

We had a such a lovely stay at Todd’s place. The location is wonderful comfy beds powerful showers, plenty of towels and lots of mod cons. A sandy swimmable beach is outside your front door and from the back deck watch the boats go by dawn till dusk. Bliss. Very responsive host and lovely getaway.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic condo in Friday Harbour, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view that took our breath away. The condo itself was a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. It was impeccably clean, stylishly decorated, and equipped with all the amenities one could wish for. One of the highlights of our stay was the private balcony, where we spent many mornings sipping coffee and evenings watching the sunset over the harbor. The location of the condo is unbeatable. Just a short walk to charming local shops, restaurants, and the marina, it offered the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience. Overall, our stay at this condo in Friday Harbour was exceptional. It’s clear that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into creating a perfect retreat. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway, this place should be at the top of your list!

We had the best weekend! the place was spotless, there were items left for us like seasonings and snacks (the kids LOVED eating the popcorn out of the cool containers) and the place is in a great location!!! We will definitely be back!!

We had such a lovely stay at Melissa and Todd’s place! It was very clean and such a great location- very easy to get down to the pier and the parking lot where we had a parking spot for our car (we stayed for over a month). They were very responsive, friendly hosts. Two things I will mention is that, when we arrived at the start of May, the patio furniture wasn’t set up. However, Todd was helpful in getting it put out once the weather was good (around May 24). Also the air conditioner is quite loud and turns on and off so if that’s something that bothers you it might be better to leave it off overnight. Aside from that it was a great stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Thanks Melissa and Todd for providing us with a wonderful home base during our trip!

Host was great! Place looked exactly like the pictures. Would recommend.

I really enjoyed staying at Kwan’s Airbnb for a week. It was spotless, new, fresh and super clean. I appreciated the attention to detail and amenities as I am a superhost myself and take pride in my Airbnb. I highly recommend his Airbnb, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Kwan! 😊

We loved our stay at Tony's place in Victoria Harbour . The place is as described and literally steps away from lake and Trans Canada Trail . Its 10 minutes away from all major amentias and restaurants . The place is well equipped. We have stayed in so many Airbnb's and this is one of the most well organized place we have ever been to.. The place comes with pretty much all the amenities that truly made it home away from home . We would definitely be back here in Summer .

Mary was very accommodating! The place was clean. The appliances were in great condition. She provided everything that we needed during our WHOLE stay. Most places we’ve been at jist gives us a starter kit, but Mary went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, and well taken care of. She even gave our kiddos bubble wands when we came in. It’s the little touch that gives the biggest meaning. Thank you! The only thing we wish there was, was more storage. We kept our clothes in our luggages. The rack could use some storage bins maybe? So that we can store clothes in it without it calling off the shelves. But overall the stay was just great! If we come back to Friday harbour again, we sure will come back to Mary!

Sandra’s place is just like the pictures super cute, clean and private. The place has everything you need for a great stay. She’s very responsive to messages. It was our 2nd time enjoying her place and we’d look forward to booking with her again!

Mr and Mrs. Nathan were great. They were super helpful and responsive to any of our questions. Their place was quite comfortable and clean. This was our second booking with them and we will continue to book with them in the future.

We booked this lovely lakefront spot as a place to stay over the weekend of my father-in-law's celebration of life and it suited our needs perfectly as a family of five plus grandma. The main floor bedroom/bathroom suited my mother-in-laws limited mobility needs and we had ample comfortable sleeping/bathroom space for ourselves and our kids upstairs. The house felt fresh, new and very clean with lovely lake views from almost every room. Our only suggestion is that the kayaks could use a little spring cleaning on the inside but it's tough to keep everything outdoors spotless when there is so much rain. Thank you Daman and team!

From the moment we arrived, our Washago Airbnb stay (May 30th - June 2nd) was absolutely perfect. The property was truly "pick and span," gleaming with cleanliness and showcasing impressive upgrades throughout. It genuinely exceeded all our expectations! Our host Steve was exceptional – super helpful and incredibly responsive. Any questions we had were answered almost instantly, and they clearly went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The location was simply amazing, offering both tranquility and convenience. The property itself was completely up to the mark, providing everything we needed and so much more. From a well-stocked kitchen to comfortable furnishings and thoughtful touches, it felt like a true home away from home, but with all the luxuries. We can't recommend this Airbnb enough and would happily return on our next visit to Washago!

Alexandra was the perfect host. Very responsive, considered and even accommodated to all the needs we had. she allowed us to have a beautiful gathering with some extra friends that came for a celebration of our engagement (not staying at night). It was a lovely place, full of small details that enriched our experience, highly recommend this place.

We spent a couple of days up here, and it was as described. It took me back to my childhood! The classic “by the lake” cottage. And it is that. Complete with a breezeway with life jackets, a great dock, and of course the fantastic lake. We enjoyed a campfire, and the place had everything we needed, for meals and memories. It is a cottage though. You should expect that. It isn’t fancy, and Geoff doesn’t describe it that way. It is how he describes. Geoff is also very responsive, and when we had a question, came back right away. It was a nostalgic little getaway for us! We loved it.

We had a fabulous, relaxing stay at Derek and Sandra’s gem on Georgian Bay. Felt at home from the start, and made good use of the fire pit, hot tub and proximity to biking and hiking trails. The photos don’t lie. This place is cozy, clean and captivating… right on the Bay! Hosts have done everything to help you have a five-star stay.

The place was awesome. Will go again for sure. Eka was really nice. Felt like home. 100% recommended.

We had an amazing stay! Highly recommend this location for anyone traveling with children. The park area across the street was better than expected! This home is well maintained, clean, and comfortable. We very much enjoyed the backyard space and open concept layout of the main floor. Thank you Derek and Fiona!
