About this property

Crystal Beach Waterfront Cottage - Sunset Views!

Summary:
Welcome to my cottage! Located right at the beach, you'll find panoramic water views and stunning sunsets to enjoy with the entire family.

There's a boating dock right beside my place and you'll be walking distance to Fort Erie's famous central area with ice cream, pizza parlours, bars and family restaurants.

*Note: All guests have to be wary of my property lines! Guests should not walk past the stairs at the bottom of my cottage as that is my neighbours property. Please stay on my side!

The Space:
There are 3 bedrooms with 4 beds (2 kings & 2 queens), one movie room, an open dining area with views of the water, and a fully stocked kitchen with coffee and all the essentials

You will also have a large back deck area to lounge on the patio furniture and BBQ with the family

There is parking available at the bottom of the hill near my home's stairs, and also tons of free parking in the lot right across the road

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire upper 2 floors of my 3-story cottage

The Neighborhood:
Walking distance to Erie road where you’ll find ice cream parlours, dessert shops, family diners and restaurants, bars and traditional wood oven pizza restaurants.

Getting Around:
There is plenty of free parking at the dock’s parking lot.

Please be considerate of other cars when parking and don’t block the driveway so our neighbours can get in and out.

Other Things to Note:
The cottage has two floors that is part of a three story house.
The lower level is a separate unit and has a separate entrance.
Nothing is shared other than the parking lot and stairs leading up to the house.

The side to the right of the fence on the beach is PRIVATE PROPERTY. The area guests are allowed to use is in front of my cottage to the LEFT of the fence. And kind reminder that there are NO BONFIRES allowed on the beach.

Interaction with Guests:
I'll be around any time you need!

Did not know the way in was to park by the beach and climb 3 sets of stairs that are in bad shape and 1 of my friends is handicapped. We found the side stairs but they were in bad shape also and i fell 3 times and cut up my arm and foot. The house was lovely but in the pictures it looks like the deck out front is part of the rental but it was part of the lower level rental. We had a great time but fortunately we didn't come and go a lot.

We originally rented this property because we wanted views of the lake and sunsets. And the listing advertised sunset views. Nowhere in the listing did it say anything about the multitude of stairs you had to climb to get into the unit. Nowhere in the listing did it say anything about the floors being badly sloped and uneven inside the unit. Which having a bad back and bad knees made it difficult to navigate the unit itself. The views of the lake were gorgeous, but the sunsets were hidden behind trees. You had to go outside to see them which was not a big deal except for the multitude of stairs that you had to climb down and climb back up. Everything else about this unit was perfect. It's such a shame that they didn't tell you until check-in time about the stairs, which happened less than 24 hours before we were checking in. Had my sister come with us. There's no way she would have been able to get into this unit. We chose not to stay at other units along the beach that were less money because they showed there were stairs. And so for these two reasons I advise people to be aware before you go there. Everything else is as advertised and the views of the lake are absolutely gorgeous.

The views from living/dining room were as advertised, lovely. The bedrooms were generous but one bedroom beds were extremely uncomfortable. Bathrooms clean.Fireplace didn’t work. The kitchen could definitely use all new frypans, oven needs to be cleaned. Knives could use a good sharpener. Outside seating area should be cleaned up from Cobwebs etc. The advertisement should be more transparent with the access up to the second floor. 46 stairs in bad uneven shape makes for trip and fall hazard, and not easy with luggage. Greg was great getting back to us with any questions we had.

Beach Front Property

The views and location were prime. Some of the property description was not as accurate as hoped. Parking seems to be a first come basis, although it was supposed to be for the upper unit I don't believe it is very clear for the lower unit renter that they are to park at the beach public access. The bathroom on main level has a wood ant issue and we purchased ant traps to eliminate that issue. The property needs to have face clothes and dish clothes, the laundry needs to be braced as the washer will shake itself towards door when in spin cycle no matter the setting or amount of laundry, SO keep door open when doing laundry. The upper bedroom has a fireplace for heat but that would not stay running so we left that space as is and used the king room on main floor with space heater for warmth. I UNDERSTAND that this property is an older/heritage property its just unfortunate that full maintenance hasn't been applied to showcase the potential this home could offer.

Great stay and great view

Cottage conditions was as advertised. No issues with checking in. It was easy. Instructions provided by the property manager was very accurate. The view to the lake was magnificent. Furniture arrangements by the windows were as such that you could sit down relax and enjoy the scenery and listening to the lake and birds. During our stay there was no extra noise ... it was just the lake and birds. We're planning on going back for one of our summer vacations.
