About this property

Entire place

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

SunSite Estates Waterfront

We invite you to the Island of Manitoulin. Our cottage is available year round, and has all the amenities of home (including even a dishwasher, as well as a washer and dryer).

Located on the tranquil waters of Manitowaning Bay, you will undoubtedly enjoy your stay. The cottage features two bedrooms, the master being especially spacious. We can accommodate up to six guests, with a pull out couch.

The cottage is situate on a road off of Highway 6, about mid-way between South Baymouth (the Ferry terminus) and Little Current (where there is access to the Island by bridge).

Fishing is excellent (pike is plentiful). A world record brown trout was caught in the North Channel last Autumn.

There is a propane barbecue at the disposal of all our guests. TV, VCR and DVD are also available. Guests are kindly asked to bring their own linen. As no smoking is permitted within the cottage.

Championship golf is nearby at Rainbow Ridge (boasting the fastest greens in Northern Ontario).

Local restaurants are great, with many offering the local delicacy of whitefish from Lake Huron (two of our favourites are The Old Schoolhouse in Providence Bay and The Garden’s Gate Restaurant in Tehkummah).

A Perfect Getaway
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this property is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views. Each morning, we were greeted with breathtaking sunrises that lit up the landscape in the most beautiful hues. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio, feeling the fresh air and listening to the birds sing. The property itself is immaculate, thoughtfully maintained, and well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the tranquility – it’s so quiet and peaceful, truly a place to unwind and disconnect from the daily grind. The nights here are equally magical, with clear skies perfect for stargazing. Surrounded by beautiful nature and abundant wildlife, this spot feels like a hidden sanctuary where you can truly reconnect with yourself and the world around you. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and can’t wait to return!

Amazing cottage! I spent the week here to refuel and recharge and I will coming back! The view is spectacular, the deck facing east and feeling that morning sun was the best way to start my day. It’s a short drive to the village and perfectly located to visit the area. A MUST!

First Family and Friend get away
I’ve got a daughter who has epilepsy and a list of other complications. 2 years ago she had surgery that started us on a much more positive path. This is our first ever family vacation just myself and my 2 daughters. I invited my childhood friend to come along after reconnecting and this is exactly what we all needed! We will be back and plan on making this an annual event! Thank you for hosting us on our first island venture

Sunsite Estates Cottage
I stayed at this cottage for three weeks in April while I was working in the area, and it was everything I was looking for, plus more. The location is convenient and the view of the bay is spectacular. The cottage was very clean upon arrival. Also, having the barbecue available to use was a huge bonus! The hosts were pleasant, friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a home base for adventures on this beautiful island.

Relaxing Getaway that has further potential
Communication was super easy and Douglas was quick to respond. Internet access can be iffy. Comforters didn't help to keep the chill out so would suggest warmer ones for late summer, mattresses need replaced. . .was a difficult sleep with the queen bed where you could feel the springs. Kitchen is beautiful but needs a severe upgrade for cookware - pans and pots were clearly abused by others and the best frying pan and pot were Betty Crocker brand. . .I love to cook so a little more judgemental in this area. Also, plates and bowls were chipped, again likely from poor use of others. Beach chairs and a firepit would be awesome additions for future guests. Some other improvements would be screendoor replaced on front door, sliding door fixed with proper lock so it remains shut and doesn't have a gap that allows bugs to continue coming in and the biggest thing would be to fix the shower/tub handle which goes cold in the hot direction, and a mix of both cold and hot at the bottom of the cold direction with the showerhead leaking water out. We truly enjoyed our stay but found some pf the neighbours from up the road noisey, especially as we headed into the long weekend with muaic blaring late into the night a few cottages over. Next door neighbour cottage dwellers were quiet and therefore lovely, they kept to themselves. Beach is very rocky as is the water but has a ton of quartz and fossils for those who love to collect or hunt for the aforementioned. Recommend watershoes. Thank you

Family holiday
We had great family holiday! The cottage was a home away from home! Everything was exactly the way we thought it would be. Nice and quite right at the end of a very quite road. Right at the water. We were able to kayak and swim. Did some fishing but was unable to catch anything. Totally awesome trip we’re totally stay here again!

A stay at Manitowaning Bay
We had a lovely time at this cottage! It is spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We loved the view of the water, and being able to walk down to our own private beach. I'd say we spent the majority of our time on the deck or by the water, enjoying the peace, quiet, nature and sunshine. It was a lovely, peaceful week. We very much hope to return again next year!
