The waterfront
Inside the home
A two-level cottage a short walk from Little Tub Harbour in Tobermory. The upper floor runs open-concept — pine floors, vaulted beamed ceilings, a propane fireplace, and sliding glass doors onto a recently rebuilt deck with a hot tub. The kitchen is original and functional, not updated. The lower level has a finished games room with walkout to a covered patio, two bedrooms, and a half-bath. Utility and laundry areas are unfinished. One room shows worn, damaged flooring and needs work. The property holds a licensed short-term accommodation permit and transfers furnished. The lot is a full acre, heavily treed, with no water frontage — access to Georgian Bay requires a short drive or walk.
- New upper deck with hardwood decking, lighting, and hot tub
- Updated games room with laminate floors, pot lights, and walkout to lower patio
- Vaulted ceilings and wide-plank pine floors on main level
- Licensed short-term rental with furniture included
- One-acre treed lot within walking distance of Tobermory village
Nestled on a peaceful lot in one of Tobermory's most desirable neighbourhoods, this charming home sits just 1 km from the heart of the village - a short walk to Little Tub Harbour, the Chi-Cheemaun ferry dock, waterfront dining, diving outfitters, and boat tour operators. That unbeatable location is a big part of what makes this property a proven, licensed Short Term Accommodation under the Northern Bruce Peninsula Municipality - a turnkey income-generating asset ready to perform from day one, or an equally inviting full-time or seasonal family retreat. Step in from the upper deck into a bright, open-concept main living area that immediately feels like a getaway. Vaulted ceilings, warm pine floors, rich wood accents, an open kitchen, and a cozy propane fireplace set the tone, while floor-to-ceiling windows on both levels flood the space with natural light. The upper deck extends your living space outdoors - ideal for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply unwinding with a drink in hand. The upper level also features a generous primary bedroom with walk-in closet and a full 4-piece bath. Head down the eye-catching spiral staircase and you'll find two additional bedrooms, a 2-piece bath, a second propane fireplace, and a fantastic games room that guests consistently love. A covered lower patio offers a quiet, shaded retreat - perfect for morning coffee while deer and birds move through the trees. Set on a full acre, the property transfers with furnishings included on both levels, making it as easy as it gets to step in and start enjoying - or start hosting. With the Bruce Trail minutes away and Georgian Bay launch points for kayaking and paddleboarding close at hand, the outdoor appeal is endless. 26 Elgin Street is a rare find that truly has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
