Definitely a summer beach rental. Big wide windows and doors make for a beautiful view of Downtown Lorne and the boardwalk along the beach. These same doors are very drafty and do make the place very uncomfortably cold in winter. The location was perfect (close walk to everything) and we did get to park our rental car in a space provided. The space itself is very cool, with a loft for your sleeping quarters. The loft does provide a bit of a respite from the cold as it catches all the heat the little heater can provide and has warming units on the bed itself. The appliances and bed did seem very dated. The stove never did turn on while the oven only did after some frustrating button pushing. The bed has a spring mattress that feels very worn, like sink in towards each other worn. I do think that the cold and lack of WiFi would keep me away in winter BUT I would be very willing to return in summer when the sand and surf and warmth return.
