Simply Amazing

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Paddles on the Porch. It is a great location with close proximity to the town life. Court and Louise were very helpful and friendly. The house was fully stocked with all of your needs, including bathroom toiletries. We couldn't have asked for a better time at Alex Bay. Thank You!!

Great place for vacation week!

My family and I had a great week at Paddles on the Porch, the Rutherford's had everything set for our arrival. The cottage was clean, updated and had all of the latest amenities. We enjoyed having everything in A-Bay just a short walk away and seeing an illuminated Boldt Castle from the deck at night. Court even had firewood and the gas grill was huge, thank you to the Rutherford's, it's nice to get what was advertised!

Our First Time to Alex Bay!

This was our first time to the area and we were so happy to be staying in the heart of it. Paddles on the Porch is a perfect location to walk to town, but also have direct access to the water. We brought our boat and loved having the ability to dock it right just a few steps away. The house was great - Great kitchen, comfy beds, and awesome deck to hang out on. We enjoyed the fire pit in the yard and there is a tiki bar only a few steps away that we enjoyed afternoon cocktails everyday. I can't say enough about how wonderful the location is and how well the hosts run the process.

Fantastic Alexandria Bay rental

The property is perfectly placed to have a great Alexandria Bay experience. You can walk to town; the Tiki Bar is steps away and access to boat tours is steps away. Going to Canada is a snap. The owners take great pride in their property. The kitchen is stocked with anything you can imagine you would need to make cooking like home. They supply shampoo, body wash, bug spray and suntan lotion! I have never been to a place that provides bug spray and suntan lotion! The yard is right on the St. Lawerence River. A huge fire pit/sitting area. A peaceful place to start or end your day. I would highly recommend this property.

Amazing ! Great experience. Far exceeded our expectations. Loved every minute of our stay. Ideal location did not need to use our car at all. Everything within walking distance. House was as pictured only better! Beds very comfortable. Plenty of linens available. Kitchen well stocked Didn’t use outdoor grill but it was available. Hosts very nice. Introduced themselves and very informative regarding local activities we were a family of 6 and had plenty of room. Did not feel crowded if you’re looking for someplace to vacation look no further. We visit area every year and this place was the best ever. Look forward to returning

Another great stay

This is our 4th year returning to the property. It is always super clean and has pretty much everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The owners are great. Easy to communicate with and super friendly with great advice on what to check out and anything going on event wise. They are right next door which was great incase we needed anything but they aren’t intrusive on your stay. We love coming back with our family/friends each year. We stayed with a 1, 4, 7, 10, and 12 year and 4 adults. Plenty of space in the house for all of us. The gift shops and restaurants were all within walking distance. Definitely a great location to be. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Great Time!

What a place! We could paddleboard straight from the dock, head on over to the Tiki Bar, or walk into town. There happened to be "Blues on the Bay," a free music festival going Labor Day weekend of our trip. There was plenty of space for two sets of grandparents, ourselves, and our young son to spread out. Definitely recommend! There was something broken with the grill and Court came right over to bring the parts and replace - very nice hosts :)

Best spot for making memories

This is our 3rd year returning to the property. The house was clean as usual and it was easy to contact the owners if we needed anything or had questions. The house is in the perfect location. Right on the water and shops super close by. Pretty much everything you could need is in walking distance. Waltons market around the corner was super convenient for the kids snacking needs and had some delicious breakfast sandwiches. The kids loved being able to walk to all the gift shops and the fudge/candy shop. We can’t wait to return next year and make more amazing memories.

Great house in a great location

We had 10 family members in this home and it was plenty big enough for everyone. It was very clean and stocked better than we could have hoped. The owners where very attentive, but still very respectful of our privacy. Louise showed us everything when we got there, and Court was available to take care of a very - very - small issue we had - the hosts where great! The location was fantastic. We loved the charm of the house while still being completely updated. The beds where super comfy. Honestly we have nothing negative to say! It was a great vacation and we would not hesitate to book again! Thank you!

Better than expected

Three couples stayed here for a week while pontooning on the St Lawrence River. The house was immaculate and well provisioned. The host was helpful and friendly. We used the dock, which was located right behind the house, so we didn't have far to go to get on the boat. If you want to take a tour boat they are very close and it is a short walk to the downtown area stores. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone going to the Alexander Bay area.
