Great Location Poor Upkeep and Host Communication
Don't trust the online photos!! The accommodations are poorly maintained and dirty. The master has 2 doors leading to a large balcony. The retractable screens to cover the doorways are ripped and left hanging rendering them inoperable Moldy food left in unplugged refrigerator on deck Drywall repair in kitchen left unfinished. Vrbo photos show it so why is it still unfinished? Lights either missing or burnt out in bathrooms, deck, great room Deck seating tied to balcony using plastic grocery bags. Duct tape used to keep wicker furniture intact. Deck cushions mold and mildew. Bed pillows with stuffing spilling out and no mattress pads. Bugs and webbing in most of the windows and several window cranks missing Broken plastic chairs tossed in a corner - safety issue Several safety issues including deck boards sticking up 4 attempts to get host to send me an email address so that I could send photos showing the poor conditions. The only response I got was that a broken tv in the master doesn't warrant a refund. He ignored the fact that I told him I sent evidence to Vrbo and that I requested an email address to send him the photos directly. 3 more attempts to get him to respond but he has ghosted me. Our friends have seen the photos and were appalled.

Renters beware
BEWARE OF SAFETY ISSUES AND LACK OF MAINTENANCE! While the cottage at Crystal Beach boasts a beautiful beachfront location, our stay was overshadowed by serious safety hazards and poor maintenance. Despite the lovely setting, the lack of attention to basic safety measures left us deeply concerned. The most alarming incident occurred when the BBQ caught fire due to a lack of maintenance. We had no tools or cleaning equipment to address it, and to our shock, there was a highly flammable aerosol can stored under the BBQ. This could have caused a dangerous explosion. Such negligence is not only careless but potentially life-threatening. We contacted the owner immediately, but received no response—no apology, no acknowledgment of the issue. This level of disregard for guest safety is unacceptable. Additionally, the stove in the cottage was in poor condition. The dials were so worn that cooking became a guessing game, and the stove was dirty and clearly not maintained. Positives: The cottage is spacious and comfortably accommodated 8 adults. Its location on the beach is stunning. If the safety issues were resolved, this could be an ideal rental. Bottom Line: While the property has great potential, the serious safety risks and the owner’s failure to respond to our concerns make it hard to recommend. Safety-conscious guests should look elsewhere. *Pictures of the stove and BBQ fire available.

Perfect Getaway Spot
My host was a very generous guy. He even provided products that he didn’t have to. The house is very spacious and luxurious. I really enjoyed it. I will be visiting here again. Not to mention the beautiful, clear lake.

Great location, nice house
The property is exactly like the pictures. It’s right on a really nice beach and there’s paddle boards and toys for kids to play on the sand. There’s a game room in the basement. The inside of the house was clean except for the cobwebs and spiders all over the house. The owner was always available to communicate. The only negative is the outside of the house is dirty, it needs a good power wash since there’s cobwebs all over. The stove is old but works. The linen is a bit old and a few more towels would have been nice since we were on the beach. I would recommend to bring your own towels. Finally, there was no dish soap so I would recommend to bring your own.

Beautiful view and beach
The property wasn’t as clean as I would have expected. The exterior especially needed to be maintained better. Ac didn’t work and it wreaked liked cleaning product when we arrived. The bbq was filthy as well. The beach and location is beautiful and the house is nice just needs some better maintenance and cleaning.

3 Day Getaway
Very nice home. Beautiful location on the beach. Great games room. Owner was very attentive when we contacted him. Kitchen gas stove is a little old, but works. Soap and shampoo provided in all bathrooms. You’ll need to bring a hairdryer. A warning for those with young children, or those who may over indulge, the deck railing is really low. All in all a very nice place.

Amazing views!
We were trying to stay somewhere close to Niagara Falls but still far enough away from the tourist crowd. This house was great for us. We loved the water views, the crashing waves, the openness of the house. It was peaceful and not too far of a drive to the falls. The host was very helpful and accommodating. We traveled with our dog and one of the stair cases was tricky for him and us but we got through it. The pool sticks did not work and there were no darts. My husband ran out to get the tow for the pool sticks, once we had those my boys had a great time in the game room. Overall. Our stay was wonderful.

Better than advertised!
This house is beautiful! It is perfect for a get away! The pictures on the listing site do not do it justice! The house is large and spacious for lots of people! The deck is large, beautiful and has the most perfect view of the lake! And it’s only a stair climb down to the beach! I will definitely be renting this place again in the future! Oh and the owner responded quickly to all of my messages!

Broken dishwasher!
Great property and we enjoyed the family time together even though the weather did not co-operate. However we were very disappointed to arrive to a broken dishwasher loaded with smelly, dirty dishes and cutlery. We understand that appliances sometimes break down but advance warning would have made a huge difference so that we could bring disposable plates, dish cloths and drying towels. And the drying rack in the kitchen is also half broken, so doing the dishes turned out to be quite a challenge with 7 people. The garbage bins were also full from a previous tenant so we had no choice but to leave our garbage next to the bins. We also noticed some errors in the Vrbo listing - It shows 8 chairs for the dining table, and we only found 4. And it shows a futon in bedroom 3, and all we could find was a pull out couch in the basement. Then on Sunday when we were having our family celebration lunch a handy man turned up wanting to inspect a leaking window and door handles. We told him that the time was not convenient, and we were not informed by the owner to allow anyone entry. The games room was great, but no working darts, and most of the pool cues need new tips - all inexpensive fixes which would enhance the level of enjoyment. All these irritations detracted from an otherwise pleasant weekend with the family.

Ideal home for a Crystal Beach vacation
My family and I are so happy to have chosen Greg's beach house on our first visit to Crystal Beach. The house is very comfortable, cozy, clean, spacious, and full of all the amenities we needed. The deck at the back of the house, facing the lake, was the highlight of the property and we spent countless hours there relaxing and watching the lake, having lunch and dinner thanks to a bbq grill, sun bathing, etc. If you have kids, they'll love the games in the basement (pac man, air hockey, etc). The beach is private so it was ours to use without interference, and it was very clean. We would absolutely recommend this house to anyone visiting Crystal Beach, it is definitely worth it because of the convenience. No need to look for parking, and you have unrestricted access to your own beach 24/7. Also, if you're a pet lover you can bring your fur baby along without any issues.
