About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Once crowds subside, Pelee Migration comes alive!

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!

Perfect location, Beautiful Sunsets,and Excellent Host

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Communication from the host was prompt and helpful throughout, making the whole process smooth and easy. The cottage looked exactly like the photos - clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary cutlery, pots, and other basic essentials, which made cooking a breeze.The location is perfect- approximately a 5 minute walk to the Ferry terminal and close to the bike rentals and Heritage Centre. We especially enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the property - it was a highlight of our stay. We also truly appreciated the flexibility with the extended check-out time, which made our departure more relaxed. Overall, a fantastic experience that we would happily recommend!

My husband and I stayed in this Cottage from August 2-4th, 2025. We loved our first time stay on Pelee Island! The Cottage was so clean and welcoming! It was so close to everything near the Ferry Port. Dawn’s communication about the Cottage and location was excellent! We would definitely stay here again!

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!

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.

We had an absolutely perfect weekend getaway at this charming cottage on Pelee Island! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The cottage is cozy, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck, enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, or stargazing under the clear island skies, every moment feels magical.The location is unbeatable—peaceful, private, and just a short distance from the dock. We especially loved the natural surroundings and how quiet the island was; it felt like our own little slice of paradise. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive.If you're looking for a relaxing, off-the-grid escape with a touch of rustic charm and tons of heart, this is the place. We’re already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to unwind and truly disconnect.

I truly love this cottages!!

We travelled to Pelee with four moms, 10 children, and one granny, so I booked both cottages for our stay. I really loved every second of being here. First of all, I loved the stunning view from the cottage and its pretty excellent location. I was not able to find any other cottage with a better view than Dawn's from my bike trip riding around the neighbourhood. We are travelling bunch of kids, but space was so much more than enough for playing, sleeping, outdoor activities etc. I would highly recommend this lovely place if you plan to visit with little kiddos. The kitchen is not that much modern & renovated though, but I had zero uncomfortable moments to use it all through the stay. But the other kitchen (Cottage A’s where my friends stayed) was pretty new & clean. I also loved the washroom of cottage B which was newly renovated. Hopefully, we could come back later again!

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.

Pelee Island

Dawn was an amazing Hostess. She wanted to make sure we had everything that was needed. The cottage was within waking distance to the ferry, restaurant and winery. We got a 6 person golf cart to travel around the island. Such a perfect relaxing couple of days. The only thing that we should have done was to book for a longer stay. Next time we'll book with Dawn and come in the fall.

Great accommodation albeit a little overpriced for what we received

It was an emergency booking as the original location we had reserved cancelled our reservation. Our host was very accommodating and very helpful. Location is beautiful, proximity to the ferry and “downtown” was great! Our only pet peeve was the fact that because we drove onto the ferry we didn’t get sheets on the bed. We got pillows, pillow cases and blankets, but no sheets. We learned that if we had walked on, the host would have been nice enough to give us sheets, but because we drove, no sheets were provided. We were advised this was standard (which I don’t think is the case). But for $550 for less than 24 hours, I would have expected sheets, and clean patio furniture. We were hoping to use the patio space to relax but we needed to wipe everything down before we could sit outside. Other than that, while the hose was amazing and pretty accommodating, just remember to pack your own sheets.
