I read reviews all the time before renting a place. Few things about us, the area and the house:
We are a youthful couple in our mid-50's with a university age daughter and her boyfriend. It wasn't beach time of year; weather was mixed and in the mid-teens (cool for late May) but we did see some nice sand and amazing sunsets at Pioneer Park (8 min walk). It’s another 8-minute walk to the downtown Bayfield area and it’s surprisingly robust with nice shops and really good restaurants (Fish 'n Chips at Black Dog Pub is the bomb). The neighbourhood is very nice, quiet. If you like walking and looking at nice homes, different styles etc., good place to be. To be honest our original plan was to spend most days in Goderich, and we did spend a day there and a few hours walking around Grand Bend (which looks like a great beach, modern, nice shops etc.) but Bayfield is about as charming as it gets. Again, another 8 min walk (2 min drive) to LCBO and a very clean, newer and well stocked Foodland. Blue Skies house is a great location.
Excellent host communication, check-in, resource information….top notch. The house is cute, kitchen was great, comfortable place. It’s not fancy by any means, and it looked like CottageStays has nicer, more expensive rentals, but Blue Skies served us just fine. I even cleaned up the little horseshoe pits a bit, and we played a couple games. Fun!
