About this property

Crystal Bay Getaway with full Lake Erie views!

Our renovated waterfront cottage offers three bedrooms, 1.5 baths and sleeping for up to 8 people. Lovely views of Lake Erie and the Crystal Beach Waterfront Park and Boat Launch from the large deck make this an amazing vacation spot.

Everything you need is provided including dinnerware, cookware, linens and towels, propane BBQ, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washer/dryer. Complimentary WiFi is available and we have a nice, warm electric fireplace for cooler nights in the fall or winter. We have indoor/outdoor audio, small bonfire pit for marshmallows, board games, dice and cards, and parking for 4 cars or enough space to bring your truck and boat trailer.

Crystal Beach Waterfront Park is two doors down with children’s playground, live concerts in summertime, a well maintained boat launch and new beach area. Walk another 10 minutes to the main public beach entrance for a day of fun in the sun.

We are bungalow style living all on one floor and bedroom layouts are as follows:

Bedroom 1 – queen bed (sleeps 2)
Bedroom 2 – double and twin (sleeps 3)
Bedroom 3 – queen and twin (sleeps 3)
New mattresses on the 2 queens and the double in 2022.

TOTAL Maximum Occupancy is 8 guests with a maximum of 6 adults. Please note this home cannot accommodate more than 8 guests due to Town of Fort Erie rules in the approved rental licence. 

Town of Fort Erie Licence No. STR-2020-0005

In town, we have many activities to enjoy like several public beach areas, Farmer’s Markets, live thoroughbred racing at Fort Erie Race Track, historic sites such as Old Fort Erie and the Ridgeway Battlefield, Safari Niagara and local dining and shopping.

Take a 25 minute drive up into downtown Niagara Falls to check out the mighty Falls! Families should check out Clifton Hill, The Bird Kingdom, Fallsview Indoor Waterpark, and Niagara Hornblower Boat Cruises (formally Maid of the Mist) to get up close and personal to the roaring Falls. We highly recommend taking some extra time to cruise up the Niagara Parkway to the Falls to enjoy one of the most beautiful drives in the province.

The region also boasts countless golf courses such as Thundering Waters, Legends on the Niagara and Whirlpool. Tour historic Niagara-on-the-Lake and their many wineries like Jackson Triggs, Chateau des Charmes or Inniskillin.

BBQ is offered seasonally from May through October. You are welcome to swim and wade out front, but we do recommend water shoes, as our stretch of the shoreline is shale and not sand.

Dogs are considered, but please ask first to make sure we are a great fit for your furry friend.

This home is best enjoyed by traveling families and we do not make considerations for large group of young adults.

Longer term monthly pricing in the off season is also available for relocation, short term work assignments and other temporary real estate needs.

The view!

This is a great spot to bring a family or just have a quiet weekend for two. This is a cottage right on the shore of Lake Erie. The back deck is large with lots of room for watching the waves. The shale shoreline is interesting but we didn’t venture out since it looked a little slippery. The beach was only a few steps away though! You can see the sunrise from the deck as well. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of utensils, pans, dishes and drink ware. It was clean and had lots of beds. This is everything I expected a cottage to be. My husband originally suggested a hotel in Niagara but I suggested this VRBO. It was much more relaxing. There are TV’s but the view was too perfect. If you are looking for a Hilton type experience, this may not be for you but it was everything we needed. Niagara is close enough as were the wineries. Groceries and supplies are fairly close by as well but far enough that you feel away from it all. I highly suggest.

Great space

We loved the home, very open and great with kids. It was in a great location with beautiful veiws. Great communication with the owner. My only disappointment was issues with the blinds and window screens, which the owner did promptly reply when I inquired. Would consider staying there again.

We loved sitting on the back porch and listening to the waves and watch the ducks/geese. This house is about an 18 minute walk to the cute little beach! And about 25 minutes to Niagara! Can't wait to come back!

Extremely clean

This place is extremely clean inside. This is our second year staying here and we did not have any concern about how clean the inside would be when we opened the door. The windows on the outside could use some cleaning. Especially on the dining table side. Some of the screens have holes in them that should be fixed to keep the spiders out. I would suggest spraying for spiders since there is always webs around the outside of the cottage in some places. One window is missing a screen. We kept the windows closed anyway so it did not impact us. The view of Lake Erie is excellent. Being short walk to the Waterfront park is great for walking with our dog and for the Thursday night food truck suppers. We would stay there again.

Get away

My wife and I love Crystal Beach, so when we had the opportunity to stay right on the water there, we jumped on it. The bungalow was very nice and clean and we really enjoyed our stay. Only suggestion is the property needs a bug zapper by the front door and on the deck. It gets bug crazy at night.

Cozy little Lake House.

Lake House was beautiful inside and out. We were hoping to get to take more advantage of fire pit and public beach. Unfortunately, the weather didnt cooperate. Public beach is conveniently close and owner generously provides passes. Kitchen is stocked with all cooking needs. It was a perfect stay for my family of five. We mad many trips to Niagara. There is plenty to do there. Kepted us busy with the bad weather. If we were to visit again, we'd contact the owner again. Owner was promptly responsive on any needs and concerns before & during our stay.

Long Weekend

We had a very relaxing time, we enjoyed the deck and the short walk to the playground and beach for both the family and my dogs. The restaurants delivered and so did the grocery store. We only did one day of sightseeing and the Falls were just a short trip away. We really had a very relaxing time. The house was spotlessly clean.

A Lovely Getaway

We had a great week. It was so relaxing to watch the waves rolling in from the windows and to go to sleep listening to them as well. The house is well appointed and we made most of our meals, but there are great restaurants nearby as well. Our questions were answered right away. I only wish we had more than a week!
