Was a very nice and clean cottage. Would have liked it if the grass had been cut and the outside table and chairs cleaned.

Thank you Susan, we do have a contracted lawn maintenance company that comes weekly. With the rain this summer the grass is just growing super fast. Our cleaning staff does wipe down the furniture outside every turnover, we will send the cleaning company a reminder.

Beach Resort Location

Enjoyed our stay at Crysal Beach, property was as advertised. Weather wasn't great - not the fault of the host ;) Not beach weather but enjoyed exploring the area including Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake and, of course, Brock University for Convocation Ceremony.

Great place

We had a lovely five week stay in Crystal Beach! Very comfortable cottage with all the necessities for a long term stay. The internet did have a tendency to drop out for a few mins, which could get tricky when working remotely, but it wasn’t a big deal for us. Thanks, Terri!

Perfect beach getaway - Yet close to all the "things"!

This was a great bungalow, perfect for our stay which was 9 days in total. Lots of room, all the amenities of home. It was great to have laundry onsite. We used the beach passes that were provided to enjoy to beauty of Crystal Beach. Beds were comfortable, the backyard was a great place to hang out. The BBQ worked great - I think it was brand new when we got there!We were close enough to both Niagara and St. Catharines to feel like a part of the action for shopping and site seeing. The neighborhood was quiet. Overall, we could not have asked for a better home away from home for the time we stayed.

We had the best time at this home.. It was perfect for our family with plenty of room for kids to play ( had a nice front room/porch ) . The beds were comfortable and rooms had space in dressers to put our things away. The back yard was great for our fire and smores!!! The BBQ was new and so easy to use!! Our Host was amazing before and through our stay. It's so close to the beach making it easy to take our things back and forth. We would love to come back!!! Thank you so much for this great time we all had

Absolutely loved it! Fantastic location a short walk to the beach. Great cottage/holiday feel. Clean, lots of little extras and better than we expected. Fire pit out back in the garden which was great. Really impressed and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for making our stay lovely :)

Excellent Location and Perfect Home

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We loved Crystal Beach and staying here made it great. Just a walk down to the end of the street is the entrance for Bay Beach. Without the resident passes provided with the home there is a fee, but the passes made visiting the beach and exiting for naps then returning very simple. The home is spacious! We loved that is had two rooms and two pull out couches with plenty of room to enjoy the space (important for rainy days, which we only had one!). There is a great restaurant qhen you turn left at the end of the street. And a playground near the entrance of Bay Beach for after breakfast fun! The backyard is a great size to enjoy with a bbq and ptio dining set. We also had a chance to visit Safari Niagara and drove to Niagara Falls for a visit. Sherkston Shores Resort is about 15min away also. Most importantly, the water gets warm in the afternoon and is shallow and clean for our kids to enjoy and swim. We loved our stay at Crystal Beach! Thank you, again.
