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.
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.
Super cute little cottage. Itâs cozy. Itâs on a beautiful spot right on the water. Host has left a binder with things to do and lots of little touches everywhere
Great great place! No complaints at all. Comfy bed, nice kitchen ware, clean bathroom, great AC. Right down road from Point Pelee. Got to sit on main dock as no other guests were there. Recommending to all my friends for couples getaway!!
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!
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!
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.
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
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!!
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!
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!
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!

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.
We visited Pelee for an early-season bird-watching trip and had a very positive experience staying at this property. The Bunker had everything we needed, including cooking utensils, hot cocoa, cleaning supplies, and extra blankets. Gabriella even kindly included a park pass for guests to use! The lake view was unbeatable, and we saw quite a few birds (and even a mink!) from the comfort of the cabin. Gabriella was pleasant, responsive, and easy to reach.
The only (expected) downside was the cold. We had rainy and windy April weather all weekend with temperatures falling to near-zero overnight. The Bunker is not well-insulated against freezing weather, and while the heater kept out the worst of the cold, it did get chilly inside at times. Didn't end up being a problem during our stay since we were often bundled up for outdoor activities and the blankets/warm drinks that were provided helped the rest of the time, but it is something to plan for if you visit during early spring or late fall. I'm sure it's not an issue during the summer.
Overall, definitely a five-star experience and a place I would love to return to!
Cleanliness. Communication. Cozy. All top notch. Everything works! No cutting corners. Gabriella strikes the perfect balance between attentiveness and yet never intrusive. We appreciate all your care.
I purchased my first rental in 2017. I have always enjoyed being near and in the water. When I purchased my first property I knew I needed to share it with others. That lead to the first rental, Sunsets by the Bay. After a year of meeting some wonderful people, I purchased my second property. I continue to grow my portfolio by managing others lakefront properties.
I love hearing what brings guests into Leamington, and helping them to choose some adventures while they're in town.
Cute and comfortable are the words that come to mind when I think of the Bunker. It's the perfect step up for an individual or couple that prefer to avoid a hotel stay. It's close enough to the lake that you catch the most perfect sunset, and still have privacy from the house on the property.
