2 Beds 1 Bath Port Dover, ON

Take up the fine art of daydreaming at “The Sun,” one of two units at the Swell House. If an easy-breezy minimalist design with a boho twist is the kind of aesthetic that makes you swoon, you’ll love staying here and soaking in everything this beachside town offers. In only 1-2 hours, you can escape the city to a historic beach bungalow just a 5-8 minute walk from the beach strip, but be warned you may never want to leave after seeing the private resort-style backyard.

Ready for a romantic getaway or a stylish home to explore the beauty and attractions of Norfolk County?

Then, welcome to The Sun. 

This midterm rental property home is where shirts and shoes are optional, and the everyday pressures of life seemingly melt away. To match the simplicity and beauty of its natural surroundings, we decorated this quaint little beach home with a minimalistic boho theme,  evoking the aesthetic of Palm Springs iconic style. 

Living Spaces:

Every detail was curated to make this space a place where you have no choice but to “kick back and relax.” 

Upon entering the living room, there are three things you’ll want to make this room as enjoyable as it was designed to be:

1. Your cutest vacay outfit (linen, anyone?)
2. Barefeet 
3. A delicious cocktail (…….and maybe throw on a bit of moody Jazz for good measure)

Whether the sun is shining or it’s raining outside, the large comfy sectional in this peaceful space will tempt you to either cuddle, read a book, or take a nap (…in our opinion, why choose? You’re on vacation, right?! Do all three).

Additionally, you’ll love spending time relaxing here because of the gorgeous hardwood floors and the bright open feeling you get from the height of the 10ft ceilings.

Staying with us in the cooler months? You’ll love that this room also has a gas fireplace with all the nostalgia of the good ‘ole days, perfect for spending nights tucked up by the fire with a hot cocoa, a movie or even better yet,  some slow jams and whatever else comes to mind.

Bedrooms:

Less is more, and the interior design of both bedrooms proves that stripped-down simplicity can feel extraordinarily peaceful and luxurious simultaneously.

The master and the secondary bedroom are calming and relaxing spaces with premium linens and top-of-the-line Canadian-made Endy mattresses known for keeping you cool and providing incredible support while you sleep.

Details:

• Master Bedroom – Queen-size bed with two wall sconces for reading at night and a reading corner for catching up on your emails.
• Second Bedroom – Double-sized bed in a smaller room off the living space with a cute little hanging plant, a mirror and soft pink touches to give the room some interest. 
• Sleeps up to 4 guests, including children

Bathrooms:

Wash your cares, and the sand between your toes away in this gorgeous ’70s bathroom painted white with a pink tiled feature wall and a breathtaking custom retro globe light fixture. 

This whole room is a mid-century modern dream that’ll make you wish you could copy + paste it at home. 

We also provide a decadent line of body soap and toiletries to make your morning routine that much more luxurious. 

Sleek Minimalist Kitchen:

A beach getaway with the kids or your fave human means you’ll need a place to prepare snacks and meals when you aren’t dining at one of the many delicious restaurants on the strip.

This fully modern and updated kitchen has everything you need to chop up some fresh veggies and fruit you may have picked up at The Port Dover Farmers Market. 

If you’re wondering what items you’ll need to pack, don’t worry about bringing along any kitchen tools; we’ve got you covered with all the gadgets you need to prepare a meal easily. After all, we know you’ll want to spend as much time as possible exploring and relaxing instead of working away in the kitchen.

Are you a coffee addict? If so, we’ve got your back. The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig coffee station and pods, a french press, coffee grounds, and everything you need for a cup of tea. 

Dining Space:

The dining space is a treat with a beautiful white tulip table and seating for 4 under a white globe chandelier that lends to the light and airy feeling of the entire home. But if you prefer to eat outside, there’s a fun pastel pink, seashell vintage style outdoor dining table with room for 4. You’ll love starting your day out here with a cup of coffee or gathering around the table in the evening under the stars with your favorite bottle of vino to chat the night away. 

Outdoor Space:

A home this charming with over 100 years of history in such a quaint town needed to be restored with care, and that’s what you’ll see from the moment you arrive. The home’s bright white exterior neatly kept grounds, and beachy resort-style backyard oasis are everything you’d want in a cottage-chic getaway. 

In the backyard, you’ll find a fantastic deck with ample seating for outdoor dining and a bbq for honing your skills as a grill master. But the real piece de resistance is the beautiful sandy and treed oasis we’ve created with an outdoor shower, lounge chairs, and a hammock for naps under the trees. 

If you’re a writer, artist, or the creative type, you’ll love sitting out here, under the trees with your favorite drink, to dream up your next masterpiece or to let the kids play while you do a little imagining of your own.
