Bohemian Seaside Studio: spacious, oceanfront

* Most loved Canadian listing E of Toronto, and one of the top 7 in Canada!* (Buzzfeed/CBC 2016; Airbnb 2019) Quirky seaside loft set high in the trees (accessed by boardwalk). Deck with harbour view (sunsets, whales, sailboats); skylight-lit dining nook; snug double bed with ocean view; and enough floorspace to practice your tango moves. This is a special place, my home (not hotel) and available to folks who leave a place better than they find it. Please message w your 'pitch' before booking.
