We had a wonderful vacation. The location was excellent and the house was clean and comfortable. Walking distance to the beach and downtown. We had everything we needed and our host was excellent with communication. We would definitely come back.
Check in and out are quick and easy. Kitchen is well-stocked with everyday essentials. Home is beautiful and spacious. Beach is a quick walk down the street. Teri is very responsive to any concerns or questions that arise.
This property is in a great location with a modern kitchen and a large, comfortable table for family dinners. The three bedrooms are all spacious and comfortable, and there are two well appointed bathrooms. It was clean and amenities like the AC and the BBQ worked well. The pack porch provided welcome shaded respite from the heat but we did feel that it needs some paint and repair to be of the same standard as the interior.
We absolutely loved our time in this beautiful house. It was just what our family needed. It's big, but also feels warm and cozy, it's very clean, had everything we needed, and is a perfect little walk to the beach and playground. We loved sitting on the little back patio for a board game and snack or lounging on the 2 big couches after a long day. It was just a treat. We hope to stay there again in the future.
We had a wonderful week in Crystal Beach. This house is in a great location. The beach is only a short 5 minute walk from the house. Restaurants are also within walking distance. We traveled to Niagara Falls, which was an easy 30-40 minute drive. The house is a bit older but it has been nicely renovated. Having the washer and dryer was a nice plus! We would definitely stay here again.
Nice quite and peaceful neighhood. A block away the beach. The house and clean upon arrival. Was easy to assess the house. The house had everything you need, (dishes. Cookware, towels, ect,). Bedrooms are spacious and nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you Tonia, we are so happy you enjoyed and hope you can stay again.
We enjoyed our stay. Great location with a close walk to beach and a short drive to Niagara Falls. Enjoyed the Thursday night food truck event with the complimentary shuttle that picked up at the end of the street. Property met our needs for my family of six plus grandparents. Nice open floor plan downstairs with a nice kitchen and plenty of room for all of us to sit at the large table. Kids loved the spacious bunk bed room. Covered deck outside was nice too. Easy check in process. Would stay here again.
I can't recommend this wonderful cottage enough. Don't hesitate to book this great place you won't be disappointed. The cleanliness, decor, comfort etc was outstanding. We had a 20-25 minute drive to Niagara Falls on quiet roads without any traffic. We spend our days exploring all the great sites then would return back to the cottage and take the quick walk to the beach. We had children ages 7, 5, 2 and 1 with us and they loved the playground at the beach and the time to play in the sand.

Thanks for the wonderful review Stacie, it was a pleasure hosting you and we hope you can come visit again. So glad you enjoyed everything.
Enjoyable stay, great communication with property manager
My family of 7 (with adults, teens and young children) stayed here for a week. The cottage was clean and all essentials were provided. The kitchen was well stocked and washer and dryer were available. The kids room with bunk beds was great. I did report some minor issues with getting the TV set up, but Teri was able to provide lots of help and got everything resolved. Location was great, as the cottage is close to the beach entrance so there was no need to drive. Evening walks down the Main Street for ice cream were a lot of fun, especially for the kids.

Thank you Maria for the kind review! You were very patient and I look forward to hosting you again.
We had a great time in Crystal beach! It was a gorgeous week with one rainy day. The cottage was really nice and well stocked. We had issues with the TV and were communicating with property manager but decided to just forgo the downstairs TV because we could not get it working. My only complaint is the back deck. It needs work. Furnishings are very old and deck and yard are not a comfortable place to relax after the beach or for morning coffee so we were mostly inside or in town.
We were here for family wedding in Fort Erie where I grow up but living in Alberta now.
This is a loving house. Everything we needed was there. It was so comfortable for all of us.
Feels a lot of people with spaces for younger ones. Beds were comfortable too.
Giant table for all of us. Top on line appliances too.
We had a lovely time for 6 days.
I’d book it again if this came again in my life. So clean and beautiful inside. Sheila B

Thankyou so much for the wonderful review Sheila. I am so happy you enjoyed your stay and we would love to host you again.
The cottage was beautiful and very spacious. It was decorated with attention to detail and beach charm. Huge living area for big families. 2 full bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. One bedroom had 4 bunk beds, it was huge and perfect for young kids. The cottage was a 5 minute walk to the Crystal Beach entrance directly at the end of the street. It was a 10-15 minute walk to restaurants on the main road. 10-15 minute drive to Walmart and other shopping and grocery stores if needed. There was a cute town a short drive by car called Ridgeway that also had a street of shops. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone who is interested in staying In the Crystal Beach area.
The property was great. House was great. There was no power for the first 3 days. So we couldn’t get in. Now property manager said we don’t get a refund because we didn’t notify them.
NO POWER!!! NO CELL SERVICE!!! For 3 days. How could we notify them. Notified them as soon as we could.
Teri was great. No problem with her.

Very disappointing to see this review as the guest was advised I would be providing a refund but needed patience as we dealt the the aftermath of the blizzard and emergency maintenance at several cottages. A refund was indeed issued once we had time to sit down and assess and we even adjusted the guest stay by a day so they could enjoy the time once her family arrived. The whole area was under a state of emergency during this time. The guest was contacted on several occasions the first three days to see if they arrived, to ask if they were coming and to see if they needed anything and we had zero response. We could not go check as there was a driving ban and it was next to impossible to get there. There was cell service, the guest just did not have a cell phone which I was unaware of. I was grateful to hear from the granddaughter when they did actually arrive. Many of our guests contacted us and we worked with them to completely cancel their reservations at full refunds due to the circumstances and blizzard.
I am very sad to see this outcome after I entertained several calls prior to the guests arrival knowing this was her first ever rental. We even prepared for an early check in for the guest.
