This location, house and host were great. A bottle of wine was waiting for us, and it was perfect.It was close to the water, restaurants and wineries. We couldn’t ask for a better place to stay and launch our long weekend.

Scott, this honestly made my day. Thank you so much for the kind words, and for sharing photos from your weekend — seeing guests enjoy the space is exactly what makes hosting feel so rewarding. You and your family were such thoughtful guests, and I really appreciated the care you took with Studio 5. You left it in immaculate shape and treated it with the same TLC you would your own home. We’re so glad the wine was a nice start to your weekend and that Studio 5 worked well for your time near the water, restaurants, and wineries. We’d be very happy to welcome you and your family back anytime.

Excellent ! A great property. I would highly recommend it . The property is nicely equipped with everything you need including a bbq, washer & dryer and a well equipped kitchen. We found it to be very comfortable. It is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood surrounded by other small well kept houses. We enjoyed sitting outside in the morning with our coffee and listening to the doves coing in the trees.

Louis, I absolutely loved reading this. The part about sitting outside in the morning with your coffee, listening to the doves in the trees, made me smile — that’s exactly the kind of quiet little moment I hoped people would enjoy at Studio 5. It was such a pleasure having you and your family stay with us. You took wonderful care of the place, and I’m so glad you felt comfortable and at home while you were here. Thank you for such a lovely review. You’re welcome back anytime.

Thank you so much, Nadine and François. It was honestly such a pleasure hosting you both at Studio 5. From your bike rides through Niagara, to your kind messages, to the beautiful note you left in our guest book, you made this experience feel really special for us. We’re so happy you enjoyed the studio and the neighbourhood, and I loved hearing how much you were able to explore the area by bike. Guests like you are exactly why we hoped to create a place that feels welcoming, comfortable, and connected to everything we love about Port Dalhousie and Niagara. Merci beaucoup pour vos mots si gentils. Vous avez été des invités merveilleux, et nous serions très heureux de vous accueillir à nouveau.

Jill, this one means a lot to us. You and your husband were our very first guests at Studio 5, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start. You were both such a pleasure to host, and we’re so happy to hear that we got the little things right and that you had everything you needed to enjoy your weekend. Thank you for taking a chance on a brand-new listing, for taking such great care of our little place, and for leaving us such a lovely first review. You’ll always be part of the Studio 5 story!

About the host

Hosted by Studio 5.5 Admin

Host profile image
Robert is the owner of Studio 5, and I’m Tanya, his co-host. Because Robert works out of province for much of the month, I take care of the day-to-day details and make sure our guests have everything they need. Together, we’ve discovered that we make a pretty great team, and it’s been especially rewarding to see how happy our guests have been. Teamwork really does make the dream work—in our case, it helps make Studio 5 a comfortable, welcoming place to stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose Port Dalhousie because we genuinely love the character of the neighbourhood. It’s a welcoming community where beautiful million-dollar homes sit alongside small cottages, and somehow it all works together. Studio 5 is tucked into that mix, which is part of what makes it feel so special.

There’s always something nearby to enjoy—the beach, Lakeside Park, the pier, the yacht club, the local Legion and the village itself. It’s simply a great place to walk around, relax and spend time.

We’re also excited about the future here. The front studio is scheduled to begin renovations this fall, and before long we hope to have two properties available for guests to enjoy in Port Dalhousie.

What makes this property unique

What makes Studio 5 unique is the level of care we put into cleanliness, comfort and the little details that make a stay feel easy. The studio is newly rebuilt and exceptionally clean, with brand-new appliances, radiant in-floor heating, a full bathtub and a fully stocked kitchen where guests can prepare a proper meal rather than relying on the bare minimum.

All bedding is professionally laundered, and both the sheets and duvet covers are changed between every guest. We want you to walk in and immediately feel that the space is fresh, spotless and prepared especially for your stay.

Outside, guests also have their own private courtyard-style sitting area with a grill—a quiet place to enjoy a morning coffee, have a drink, cook dinner or relax after exploring Port Dalhousie and the rest of Niagara.
