This is a very small, cozy, clean, and well stocked place to stay. Because everything was well stocked and clean I didn't need to contact the owner, but she checked in to make sure all was well which was a nice touch. The views were great and the accommodations were very comfortable. We had a great stay. Great host!
This was the perfect little getaway. Everything we needed. So clean and comfortable. The host was great! No complaints at all. 5 stars! We would definitely go again.
The entire thing! The bunker is cozy and warm, perfect size , I was alone. Anything I needed was already there!!! Even coffee which was perfect as I’m a caffeine addict , it allowed me to relax with a cup of coffee after my drive , before running for few groceries!! The host is wonderful!! She is attentive and responds to any questions quickly!!
Super cute little cottage. It’s cozy. It’s on a beautiful spot right on the water. Host has left a binder with things to do and lots of little touches everywhere
Perfect location. Enjoyed a few trips to Point Pelee Park and to Pelee Island. Bunker was very clean with everything we needed.

A truly wonderful, comfortable and convenient place to stay during our visit to the area.
A magnificent location ... wonderful view of the lake with easy access to Point Pelee National Park and the wine route. The many items that were provided with the Bunker by the Bay made it much easier to plan, pack and travel. Definitely worth a return visit in the future :)
We enjoyed a wonderful 3 days. Accommodation was beautifully appointed and equipped with everything you could imagine, There was a spectacular view of the bay especially at sunset. Gabriella was very accommodating and very accessible. We would not hesitate to stay there again and strongly recommend Sunset by the Bay or The Bunker by the Bay.
Clean and tidy place, lovely view of the lake, we visited the nearby restaurant a few times just for the convenience of the five minute walk, the owner has utilised the space and give it a modern look that is very functional but cosy.....we will stay again but a wee bit longer next time
Such a cute little cottage that I wish was my own, to escape to, far enough from the town to feel away, but close enough for everything you need. SUPER comfy bed, good heating system, tankless hot water, cozy couch, lacking nothing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway to this quaint destination overlooking the Lake Erie, Leamington Ontario that we managed to get away to.
We enjoyed the peace and tranquility compared to the daily city noise in our current city.
This location had all the comforts of home!

The name of this property says it all. It is a perfect couples getaway. It was super cosy with high end finishes. Our host Gabriella was fantastic! Quick to respond and very friendly. The property had a fire pit and the sunsets were incredible.
The area boasts the port pelee provincial park and within a short drive there is an abundance of wineries and breweries to visit.
We had an amazingly perfect weekend away!

Kudos to Gabriella!
A truly phenomenal experience! An oasis in close proximity to Pt. Pelee coupled with stellar accommodations and an absolutely phenomenal host ( Gabriella) with no want! Will continue to return!
The property is well maintained, clean and close to Point Pelee National Park. Two people can comfortably utilized the living space. A family pass was included in the rental for the park and this gives you access to beaches, swimming, kayaking and biking.

Peaceful retreat
Property is on the smaller side but it served the purpose of our stay perfectly. The view of the lake from the kitchen made for some wonderful views , especially as the sun was setting / rising, we had a few really late nights so the usual 10am checkout was looking like a tall task and our host Gabriella was so kind to let us stay well after our expected check out. 10/10 experience!

Cozy Bunker
We had a wonderful stay at Bunker by the Bay. It is perfect size for a couple. It has all the amenities that you require for a lovely getaway. It is a short distance to Pelee Provincial park as well as the ferry to Pelee Island. Remember to check in the little shed they have cornhole! The backyard overlooks the beautiful Lake Erie, there's a fire pit and a barbecue with picnic tables for your use. It looks exactly like the pictures you will not be disappointed!!

Great spot
This is my third return visit to Bunker by the Bay and I love it. Beautiful and convenient location, nicely set up for longer stays. Like a home away from home!
Great location - half way between Point Pelee National Park and the Leamington ferry that goes to Point Pelee Island. Very clean, tidy and functional space.Beautiful sunsets and very responsive and host.
I was in the area for a quick trip to the national park. The price and proximity sold me! The bunker was small (as advertised) but met all my needs and was very clean.The Keurig pods and park pass were great touches and nothing compares to the sunsets! Would definitely book again. Thank you!
