This is our Surf Betty beach cover-up. But she’s so much more than that and could be worn over jeans or a slip dress, dressed up with jewellery, and taken out on the town! Handmade from vintage textiles with a floral appliqué, these are one of kind. Pair it with one of our beach towel beach bags and you’ll be ready to hit the sand or poolside!

We’ve been busy getting ready for our very first pop-up this coming Saturday!

Our guests often tell us that they love the laidback surf and tropical vibe at surfhütte, as do we, and it got us thinking about how we could bottle that beach vacation feeling to take home when the holiday ends. Our solution? Introducing the surfhütte beach accessories and home decor collection made from mostly up-cycled vintage textiles and thrifted finds. Beach bags made from retro beach towels, Hawaiian shirts remade into totes, pretty retro cotton double-sided dinner napkins, swimsuit coverups, tiki knick knacks and eventually beach art photography prints and more! If you are in Toronto on December 2nd, please join us for the launch at our pop up shop from 12-6 pm at 103 - 46 Noble Street. Our friends Waratah Avenue and Arumi will also be there!

Sunsets on the beach in Southampton are stunning year round. We’ve enjoyed spending time here during the quieter months, and spotting some of the local wildlife - including foxes and eagles. If you’re lucky you might even catch the Northern Lights! Come stay in our cozy beach house this spring and enjoy beautiful sunsets, walks along the boardwalk, shops and restaurants on High Street, Southampton Arts, the excellent Bruce County Museum and maybe even a hike at McGregor Point.

The original bunk bedroom at surfhütte wasn’t very big or bright. By pushing out the wall a few feet into the living room, moving the door, and opening up the ceiling, we were able to create a welcoming, sunny space for our younger guests. We also salvaged the original kitchen cupboard and repurposed it as a children’s library filled with new and old classics. We added reading lights for each bunk and hacked IKEA spice racks as shelves to tuck away books when it’s time for lights out! Swipe to see the before photo.
We are now booking for fall and winter, please contact us if you’re interested in staying!

We absolutely love the “green” room at surfhütte, with its retro wasabi wall, handmade string lampshade pendants, salvaged vintage mirror and clever IKEA lack shelf vanity table hack. A view of the cedars out of the south window and a glimpse of the lake from the west, make this room a peaceful and calm retreat at the end of a sandy and sunny beach day. Swipe to see the before photos.
We are now booking for the fall and winter, contact us if you would like to stay!

Designing the kitchen at surfhütte was a fun challenge since it’s an open space with an awkward layout. There were lots of drawings and redesigns along the way but we’re thrilled with how it turned out! Swipe to see the before shots and one of the numerous little drawings I made. Many thanks to Eric for his unending patience and great suggestions.
We are now booking for the fall, please contact us if you are interested in renting surfhütte! We have availability after September 5th.

Surfhütte is finally done! (Except for a few pieces of art to be printed and hung). We purchased our little beach house last fall, brought it down to the studs in late November, and Peicheff Renos started working on it in late February. Carefully designed and curated by Veronique Claassen down to the fine details, we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Lake Huron called to us, and this is our answer.
We are fully booked for this summer, but fall is lovely up here and we have weeks and weekends available in September and beyond. Message us for details.

We have great neighbours at surfhutte and our best neighbours this spring have been a family of foxes living under the cottage next door. Mama fox is an excellent hunter and has been providing her young cubs with lots of sustenance, even fish from the lake. Though we’re busy getting surfhutte ready for summer guests, everyone drops tools to watch the cubs play. The family has likely moved on now that it’s busier on the beach but we’ve heard the foxes come back each spring. Till next year our furry friends!
