Step into summer nostalgia at Wexford Cottage — your private, pet-friendly retreat in charming Point Clark. Just a stroll from the historic lighthouse and sandy beaches, this freshly renovated 2-bedroom cottage blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Fire up the BBQ, unwind by the firepit, and soak in classic cottage vibes made for beach fun, cozy chats, and unforgettable memories.

Part of the Keepers Cottages, the Wexford can be rented on its own or together with the adjoining Carruthers Cottage for more space.

INSIDE:
As you walk in, you’re greeted by a cozy, open space with vintage cottage charm and updated comforts. Kick off your shoes and sink into the couch while your favorite show streams on the Smart TV. Or grab a board game and challenge your travel buddies to a little friendly competition.

The kitchen is stocked for whatever you’re craving — whether that’s a hearty breakfast before hitting the beach or your go-to pasta after sunset. I’ve made sure it’s easy for you to cook, snack, or sip with ease. The funky retro dining table is one of my favorite touches — perfect for sharing meals or late-night card games.

You'll love how everything feels easy, casual, and just right for slowing down.

Step out the door and into your own sunny slice of cottage life. The fenced yard is just for you — a private spot to relax, play, and reconnect. Pour your coffee and settle into one of the comfy outdoor chairs, where the morning sun wraps around you and the fresh lake breeze clears your mind. If you’ve brought your laptop, it’s a peaceful place to catch up while listening to the birds.

As the day unwinds, the yard becomes your hangout hub. Fire up the BBQ, play a few rounds of darts, or stretch out on the lounger for an afternoon nap. When evening rolls in, gather around the firepit for s’mores, stories, and laughter under the stars. It's the kind of outdoor space that makes you want to linger just a little longer.

⚓ The Story Behind the Name: SS Wexford
Wexford Cottage takes its name from the SS Wexford, a 250-foot steel-hulled freighter built in 1883. On November 9, 1913, during the infamous "White Hurricane"—the deadliest storm in Great Lakes history—the Wexford sank in Lake Huron with all 20 souls aboard, including 18 crew members and 2 passengers. The ship was carrying 96,000 bushels of wheat from Fort William to Goderich when it was overwhelmed by hurricane-force winds and towering waves. For 87 years, the Wexford's final resting place remained a mystery until it was discovered in 2000, sitting upright in 75 feet of water off the coast near Grand Bend. Today, the wreck serves as a poignant reminder of the lake's power and the maritime history that shapes Point Clark's identity.

ABOUT YOUR HOST
I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.
