Overdue Girls Night Extended
Our Labour day long weekend here was lovely. Very welcoming cottage and easy to get to. Great amenities nearby as well for all the things you might need last minute like water for drinking. Judy was a sublime host and made our stay here splendid. Nice get together with old friends that was so special and wonderful to feel at peace by the water.

We loved By the Bay Cottages!
My family and I just spent a week at cottage B of By the Bay Cottages and we loved it! The owners, Judy and Jim, were incredibly friendly and made themselves available if we needed anything during our stay. The cottage was very clean, well-stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen, comfortable and cozy. The waterfront location is beautiful! My kids loved playing on the property with either the basketball hoop, swing set, in the sand, or just in and around the trees. They especially loved being able to swim right from the dock. The cottages are located perfectly in Prince Edward County, with anything we needed just a short drive away. We would recommend this place to anyone and hope to come back again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Plomer

Host profile image
For twenty years our family has wanted to give our customers the unique "Canadian" summer experience of vacationing on waterfront in Prince Edward County. We are proud to say that many of our customers return to us each year to enjoy this little bit of paradise.

Why they chose this property

This property is quiet, unique,... and a wee bit off the beaten track in the south east side of "The County", on Smiths Bay. We offer 3-3 bedroom cottages on over 330" of waterfront property. Each cottage is separated by trees and hedges for utmost privacy. A wonderful escape for families and couples alike.
