The house is beautiful. Large rooms with plenty of room for 6 adults to live comfortably. Outstanding views of the river! And most importantly, an easy walk to shops and restaurants. So much to do with wineries a short drive away and of course the Shaw theatres for a play. We are already talking about another visit and stay at the Sanibel North house.

Wonderfully comfortable and spacious house.

We loved the location of the property above all. We also enjoyed the spacious living that this property affords. We enjoyed views of the sailboats going by as we relaxed with coffee, dinner, or just sitting in the garden.

Loved the view

We enjoyed our stay and loved the beautiful view. It was chilly while we there so a fire pit on patio would have been nice. We all thought the beds were very hard and while the house was nice, it definitely could use a little TLC. Screen door to patio was very hard to open and close and the house had a musty smell.

Absolutely beautiful

I stayed here with my parents who are 76 years old, my toddler son and my husband and what a beautiful stay it was. The house itself was very clean, the views from the home were breathtaking and the access to the lake from the house was so lovely. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning our next trip and hope to stay at this home.

Home away from home, with a view!

We had a magical Christmas family gathering. The house has the best-equipped kitchen of any Vrbo we have stayed in! We really appreciated the different seating areas on the main floor - we could be together in different combinations. (and we loved the master bedroom with walk-in closet and found the bed very comfortable). We walked to the Festival Theatre, and had a front-row view of the annual Penguin Dip. This will be our first choice for future stays!

Great location and beautiful property

The house was perfect. It’s location near the water was spectacular. It was described just as the listing stated. Our only wish was that the screen doors were fixed. We could not open the doors to let in the fresh air. It was cool at night and we would have liked to have had the doors open. Other than that. It was perfect

Peaceful relaxing stay

The property is perfectly located close to all amenities and though right on the riverfront walkway, it was super quiet and private. There are multiple spaces in the house to have conversations or independent quiet time which was great. The beds were not the most comfortable and the bed frames were wonky - would suggest they be looked at. Moisture also created some issues for 2 allergy sufferers which I think could be easily fixed by adding a dehumidifier or reviewing bathroom ventilation Overall the experience was all that we hoped for and I would certainly recommend to friends and family.

The house was clean and in a perfect location. A few issues were that the TVs were very hard to get working. Too many remotes without any direction on how to operate. The beds were very very hard and pillows were cheap. One room had a stain on the bed sheet.

The location of this home is excellent, short drive or walk to the little town of Niagra-on-the-lake which is so pretty and has great shops and restaurants. It's also close to many top wineries that we visited.The home is very spacious and was comfortable for our group of 4 ladies. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio area for our coffees in the morning and happy hours in the afternoons.
