Home Overview

Description

500 metres from the sand, this is the kind of place people come to Port Stanley for-and rarely leave.Tucked just off the shoreline, this 4 season, 3-bedroom cottage delivers the flexibility buyers are actually chasing right now: personal escape, income potential, or both. It's been thoughtfully updated without losing that relaxed beach-town feel, making it equally suited for weekend use or full-time living.The main level opens up into a bright, connected living space designed for real use-not just show. The kitchen anchors the home with quartz countertops, a central island, and a herringbone backsplash that adds just enough edge without overdoing it. From there, it flows naturally into the living and family rooms, where a new gas fireplace creates a comfortable focal point, especially in the off-season.Out back, the setup is simple and effective: a private yard, updated fencing, and a deck built for long summer nights, whether that's hosting a group or just slowing things down after a day at the beach. Mechanically, the heavy lifting is done. Furnace (2023), A/C (2022), and the new fireplace (2024) mean you're not walking into a project-you're walking into something that works.What really separates this property is how it performs. It's already established as a short-term rental, with a track record of happy guests and repeat use. It can be sold fully furnished, which means you can step into the upcoming season without missing a beat-or keep it entirely for yourself and use it when you want.Walk to Main Beach. Walk to the restaurants. Or don't leave the backyard at all.In a market where buyers are weighing lifestyle against numbers, this one manages to check both boxes without compromise.
