About this property

The Upper Deck Retreat- Holiday Cozy in Crystal Beach!

With views of the water and sand at your door step - this is the perfect get-away for you and your family! Crystal Beach is Ontario's hidden gem with beaches that rival the Caribbean, endless biking & hiking trails, great parks, quaint eateries and ice cream shops.
Our property is a large 3 bedroom condo with everything you need to unwind - large sun deck, BBQ, games, fully stocked kitchen, laundry, clean open space for entertaining & enjoying each others company. Our desire is that when you leave "the Beach" all you'll be thinking about is the next time you'll return!

The Niagara Region is bursting with things to do:
The Butterfly Conservatory is amazing to see!
Maid of the Mist is awesome!
If you like wineries, this is wine country and we would suggest a few.
Gretzky’s is something else as they have a winery, newly opened beer garden (June 2019), and a distillery...plus for hockey fans, the memorabilia is like a museum.
Two Sisters represents true luxury!
If you like theater, Shaw Festival in Niagara-On-The-Lake (which is a beautiful quaint town all on its own) has a very robust line up throughout the summer months.
Niagara-on-the-Lake is also known for it’s old Vintage hotels with terrific spas. Some even host High Tea on Sundays.

There is lots to do....but if you choose to relax with your feet in the sand the entire time you are here...that would be an excellent choice too!! Whatever you decide - ENJOY!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great hidden gem

We had a wonderful stay. It was a quieter calmer place to unwind after spending days in Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake, we enjoyed the food trucks and music at the park and beautiful Lake Erie sunsets. We easily slept 4 adults and 3 kids. We’d stay here when traveling that way again for sure!

The property is even better than we expected. The space is very clean, modern, and spacious. The rooms have incredibly comfortable beds and we all had really good nights’ sleep. The location is fantastically located right next to Bay Beach and down the street from some really good restaurants. Communication was excellent and we felt very supported throughout our stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again for our next trip to Crystal Beach

Highly recommend for beach getaway!

Zero complaints about this property. Space was very clean, great for family and friends to stop by. And truly can’t beat the location which is directly across from the beach; no issues walking back and forth from the beach as needed. Beach passes were included which was an amazing bonus for the few days we were there. Will absolutely stay again!

Very nice spot, plenty of room and well laid out. Nice back deck, super close to the beach (which is a nice sandy and large beach) was very convenient, and the town / street with restaurants, park was excellent.

About the host

Hosted by Katie

Host profile image
We fell in love with Crystal Beach and never left. We moved from a much bigger city but as children we both grew up in small Southern Ontario towns. We love the close knit community and the chance for our kids to experience childhood the way we remember it!

Why they chose this property

What has Crystal Beach got to offer?
Amazing beaches - we are steps away.
Great food. 10 amazing food trucks every Thursday night.
Great drinks - with a local Brewery down the road and less than 30 minutes away from more wineries than you can imagine!!
If you’re looking for more to do - we can help!

What makes this property unique

We're located directly across the street from the Ashwood Beach entrance and above https://www.crystalbeachmercantile.ca/ and https://www.wafflesandcrepes.ca/online-ordering. Within a 5 minute walk you'll find plenty of Shopping & Eateries.
