Grand Bend Accommodation For A Great Lakes Holiday In Ontario

By Ruthie Calderon


For those looking for an idyllic Canadian beach holiday in Ontario, there's no better place than Grand Bend along the shores of Lake Huron. It's a Great lakes summer hotspot that attracts thousands of visitors from all over, including many from places like Florida, New York and Texas. So it's a good idea to book early when it comes to Grand Bend accommodation.

The location and type of accommodations obviously has to be just right for the holiday. The top choice is obviously a big vacation rental or luxury hotel right on the beach or as close to the lakeshore as possible. Of course, this may not always be possible for those who have to think about the budget first.

That said, there are still a huge number of options available for people with all kinds of budgets. Main Street and the streets close to it have quite a few rentals. Many offer partial lake views, and they are close to the waterfront while being easy to reach for travelers. This is just as true for people driving in towards the center of town using Ontario Street or the Bluewater Highway.

A whole bunch of inns, B&Bs, hotels and motels can be found lined up along Ontario St. As it nears the center of town. Some more are on the other side for those driving in using the Bluewater Hwy. All of these properties close to the town center are suitable for visitors who are staying for a few days and want to explore the entire area and all its attractions.

For example, one of the main attractions here is the Grand Bend Motorplex. Huge crowds come here to enjoy what is billed as Canada's largest and longest-running drag race. These racing fans usually have plenty of choices in terms of RV parks, campsites and cheap lodging near the Motorplex.

For other visitors and tourists, the main attraction is Lake Huron. The beach, fishing, boating, hiking, watersports and other waterfront activities are what people come here for. As such, it's obviously an advantage to find lodging that offers a lake view.

To take it one step further, a private vacation home close to the lakeshore is an ideal choice for families and large groups. So this family with kids could book a home with three bedrooms. It would provide a lot more space, comfort and amenities as compared to a hotel room, and it would be quite economical too.

Look for places that offer all the standard amenities including a fully equipped kitchen and parking spots for at least two vehicles. High-speed or Wi-Fi Internet is quite common, as are cable, DVD players, music systems, refrigerators, microwaves, etc. A pullout couch would be helpful for groups that need more than three bedrooms. Some properties also have cooks, maids, drivers and other help on call for guests who need them.

Such places need to be booked a good 3-4 months ahead of time for summer holiday stays. If not, it will be almost impossible to find suitable accommodation at the last minute for a stay in Grand Bend. Booking it in advance also helps ensure that the holiday will be enjoyable and hassle-free.
