(40 minutes from Niagara Falls)

Your vacation house is perfectly situated in the middle of all the attractions on Ontario street. We are across the street from the Olcott Beach Carousel Park and one door down from the Lakeview Village Shoppes which offer retail shopping, winery, ice cream shop, food and galleries on the waterfront. Directly across the street is a park with a gazebo that features free Sunday afternoon concerts.

Additional restaurants, gift shops, replica light house, fishing pier and the 120 acre Krull county park are all within a minute walk from the Olcott Beach House. A full service marina and is also just around the corner. Olcott Beach enjoys a superior reputation for world class fishing destination by sportsmen and hobbyists.




The Town of Newfane which is less than ten minutes away provides grocery shopping, retail, fine beverage store, restaurants and more.
The Niagara Wine trail that features over 15 wineries is off of the main road and can be biked. Wine tours, tastings, events and festivals are held year-round.

Historical sites such a the stately turn-of-the century Van Horn Mansion and Murphy's Orchards underground railroad site and tea rooms are just a few of the many gems in the immediate area. You-pick farms, orchards and local vegetable stands provide the taste of the region.

Burt Dam and Fisherman’s Park located along Eighteenmile Creek for additional fishing and scenic hiking trail is also just down the road . We are located on Lake Ontario, off Route 78 North which is less than an hour from Buffalo. And of course, the majestic Niagara Falls, Fort Niagara, Wilson, Lewiston are other local highlights that require only a short car drive. If you enjoy Crystal Beach in Canada, you will love it here. Olcott Beach is a treasure.

And of course, there is your own private beach. You will be literally steps away from beautiful Lake Ontario.

We enjoyed our quick getaway at the Olcott Beach House. Scott and Michelle were wonderful hosts, especially when we needed a 'wifi rescue' :)The house is in a fun neighborhood in Olcott, and although some things were closed this late in the season, the village looks like a great place to visit before Labor Day. There's a large county park just down the street, and there are two piers close by for sunset watching or fishing, if that's your thing, and a variety of local restaurants to choose from.We enjoyed watching the boats and birds from the deck with our morning coffee, and when we returned after visiting state parks and wineries in the area. The house was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed.

We loved it!

Beautiful location and sweet town. The house was well appointed and the interior was clean. The exterior could have used a little washing but I am aware it is the beginning of the season for rentals. The views were amazing and we will definitely be back. We noticed it is for sale and we hope the new owners will rent it as well. Highly recommend!

Stocked very well! Everything was spotless! Having an ice cream stand 20 yards from the door is a nice plus! Beautiful views! Comfortable furniture (and beds). Cannot recommend high enough. One of the nicest places I have rented! The only downside is stairs (I had no issues….but if you have mobility issues be aware of lots of stairs). Owner was prompt responding and very easy to communicate with!

Perfect house!

We were so happy we picked this house for our Niagara Falls trip!! House was exactly what we needed away from the crowds and in an awesome little town. We took advantage of finding sea glass at Olcott beach, and even found a yooperlite! (IYKYK) When we went there was a car show in town! Little shops were fun to go through. Visited Lockport to see the locks. Next time we will be bringing the grand babies to enjoy the carousel park across the street!

Perfectly Wonderful

We visited the area in order to spend time with friends and get some rest and relaxation. The location of the house, right in the center of Olcott, brought the convenience of shops, restaurants, parks, and beaches. Everything was less than a 2 minute walk. There was a free concert across the street that I was able to enjoy from the front steps on a Sunday afternoon. The beauty of Lake Ontario from the back patio and deck with beach access was so cool. It was a perfect stay. The kitchen, living room, dining room, and patio with a grill made for easy entertaining. The kitchen was well stocked. Also, the town was very quiet in the evenings that we were there. I would recommend this house. The owners were very nice too.

Beautiful view of lake

We loved our stay. The hosts provided all the kitchen and bathroom necessities. The view from the top deck is beautiful and so peaceful. We spent hours enjoying the view. We saw two swans eating and swimming together, freighters, and small “ocean-like” waves during the sustained higher winds one day. Beautiful.We did not see or understand clearly from the Vrbo listing the bedroom/bathroom layouts. The only cautionary comment that I have is that the second bedroom is on the third level in the loft. There is no bathroom on that level. For anyone who is not able to walk up and down a full flight of stairs in the middle of the night good be a challenge.Overall, we loved staying at the house and working with the hosts.
