check in simple, everything good, cute home, right on the bay with nice views of the Boldt Castle, across from a nice walkway to the village, restaurants and shops. Only drawback is the driveway which is very steep, and can only accommodate one car. There is on street parking readily available, however from 10A to 6P you have to feed the meter.

What a perfect location!! Never needed our car. The view of Bolt Castle in your front yard & the park across the street are a bonus. Very comfortable for the 5 of us. Could have been cleaner inside and out.

Spider House 2024
I spent the first afternoon we were in the house cleaning. There were cobwebs everywhere every room, every corner. The kitchen cabinets and counters were sticky. I emptied the refrigerator and had to clean all the drawers and shelves. The dishes that were in the lower level cabinets were dirty. Everything was dusty. One of us has a true fear of spiders and they were incredibly anxious the whole week. The very last night we were there a very large wolf spider was in my daughter's bed. She killed it before it bit her. We well know that wolf spiders are not poisonous per se, but their bites can become serious. I rented this place because the reviews indicated that cleanliness was excellent. I don't know if we were the last rental for the season and so the cleaning had not been done or the housekeeper was burnt out, but the family has named this house and this year's family vacation "Spider House 2024". So so So disappointed. We loved the area. Just not the situation with the house.

Perfect spot in Alex Bay
Great place for a family of four to stay in Alex Bay. Nice view of the river and passing cargo ships as well as Boldt Castle. Walkable to restaurants and makes a convenient home base for visits to nearby Clayton and Cape Vincent in the US and Gananoque and Brockville in Canada. House has all the comforts needed and the enclosed porch made for a peaceful spot to start the day. Altogether a great stay in the 1000 Islands region!

Alex Bay
We had a very enjoyable stay at Alex Bay. This home was old but very clean and had a beautiful enclosed front porch from which to watch the freighters pass by on the St. Lawrence Seaway. We spent a lot of time there. The beds upstairs were very comfortable! You have to be able to climb stairs since there are a lot of them. We would rent again.

Geat view and location
You really can't beat the view and location of this property. We really enjoyed watching the big cargo ships. There was a very nice park across the street which we appreciated as we were visiting with children. They loved it. The stairs leading to the second floor were fairly steep and would present a challenge to seniors. Parking is limited to one car and the public parking across the street is metered from 10 am to 5 pm but it didn't inconvenience us even though we had 3 cars. The kirchen is pretty nice. Overall, we had a great stay and the owner was immediately responsive to our inquiries and questions.

Jennifer is the perfect host. She checked in with us, offered to come over if we needed anything, gave us suggestions of places to eat, things to see and do. Her house is older with the charm to go with it. It was well kept up and clean. I would recommend Jennifer to any of my friends and to those who are reading this. Thank you, Jennifer!

Location is everything
First of all this building is old, perhaps as old as bodlt castle. It gives you a sense of history so it's not a bad thing. Just saying if you are looking for a fully renovated, modern looking housing you would want to find something else.
The location is why we picked this property. It is close to everything downtown. The boat tour, the restaurants, etc. We have two other families came park at the property and walk to uncle sam boat tour. Across the street is a playground and all the kids enjoyed. A few more steps you cross the bridge to casino island and you have a great view of the castle and sunset.
There are many benches and a grill on Casino island so it's ideal to have a picnic there with friends and family.
A full size supermarket is about 10 mins away and we bought groceries there to make our own breakfast and lunch for a few days. Pot, pan, plates, cups are all available.
We would recommend this place to anyone.
