Summary of reviews
Guests enjoyed the peaceful location, clean bedrooms, beautiful outdoor spaces for watching wildlife, rowing, and enjoying morning coffee, as well as the attentive hosts. Overall, a perfect stay with everything needed.

Three friends and I had a wonderful stay for several days of rowing. The apartment was perfect for each of us to have our own large comfortable room and bathroom space. Gathering together was a bit tight in the kitchen or hall sofa, but the porch and outdoor space is perfect to sit and view the Henley course finish line. Zeke and Lana couldn't have been better hosts! Everything was very clean, with plenty of towels and linens and all you could need in the kitchen. Not to mention the easy walk to restaurants in Port Dalhousie. Definitely would come back!

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had breakfasts and dinners at the back yard with amazing view on the river. This completely over covered some out timed condition of the apartment.

We stayed at this estate for 2 nights for my sisters 30th birthday! I met the host outside the property and he was very welcoming! The property is the complete second floor which comes with an amazing view. Old historic property but completely updated. We did most of our entertaining in the kitchen area as the concept is like an older house. Lovely stay super clean! Thank you so much for having us.

We stayed in Port Dalhousie due to it's location in the path of totality. It was a distance from Toronto although the property was very quiet. The place has four bedrooms, although we recommend having no more than four people due to the kitchen and seating availability. If you plan to cook, pick up necessities because, there's tea, coffee, salt, and pepper. The porch was nice to sit and watch wildlife and the rowing teams. The neighbors were very nice and there are many walking options around town. Each of us has decided we are going to return again.

Stayed for 3 nights to attend the Cicada Music Festival. Walking distance to the island made it a perfect location. The restaurants and pubs 1 block away were great as well. We enjoyed morning coffee in the Muskoka chairs watching the rowers practice. Great stay.

This is a very special property perched at the edge of the Canadian Royal Henyel regarra course. For anyone with a love of rowing it is amazing! The small town of Port Dalhousie has lots of character.
The property has lots of charm. It is in an older house that has been rejuninated. The outdoor spaces are stunningly beautiful!

Our group of 4 couples were in the area for a wedding. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable but common area was really a hall.
Outside area on a nice day would be lovely
Outside stairway could use a light to facilitate entry after dark.

As pics displayed. The reviews all accurate. Nice area, beautiful by the water, nice bedrooms and bathrooms and tight indoor entertaining area but the outdoor space makes up for this. What I was looking for.

Beautiful location and home. Bedrooms do get hot and there is not a great deal of indoor space to hang out, but the yard is beautiful. We could have sat and watched the rowers for hours! A perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at Zeke & Lana 2nd floor house. Location was just so nice along the internal waterway and close to our venue we were all attending. The house was very clean and beds comfortable. We had warm weather during our stay so be aware their isn't any AC but many windows available.
Zeke and Lana instructions were just perfect and they responded very quickly to any inquirires. Very accomodating and definitely a great place to stay.
Thank you for the free coffee & tea, much appreciated!

This was the most perfect location for our family as we cheered on the Canada Games rowers. It was spacious enough for 6 adults as we were outside the majority of the time. If you had to eat indoors it would be squishy.
Owners live on premises and helped us quickly with minor needs and even offered to help with our car troubles. Very pleasant couple.
We all loved our week there!

We spend a very fun and relaxing weekend in Port Dalhousie. Thanks to our hosts, Zeke and Lana, for offering a very comfortable space for our family of seven. Such a beautiful place that is immaculately kept and has the most amazing views from both their upstairs sunroom and backyard. We loved watching the moonrise in the evenings by the pond. The peaceful morning coffee and the late night cup of tea listening to just nature sounds was the best recharge we've had in months. Our hosts answered our inquiries prompltly and gave us absolute privacy. Thank you so much, Zeke and Lana. We hope to visit your place and area again soon!

This small apartment is clean and cute. Can’t beat the location for watching a regatta and walking into town for the restaurants. It was a great experience and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating!!

Beautiful property, very conveniently located a short walk to the Port Dalhousie pier/strip and a short drive to the wineries in Niagara. Zeke and Lana sent us all the check-in information and gave us complete privacy for the weekend. The listing was exactly as described, and the pictures do not do it justice! The backyard has ample space, with a stunning view of the water and the park. My family has a fantastic stay and are already talking about booking this spot again for an annual trip! Thanks for sharing your beautiful property with us Zeke and Lana, and we hope to stay again!

Great property for a potstop between all the fun activities in Port Dalhousie and Niagara on the Lake. Well appointed, clean, serene setting with gorgeous view.

Cute location
Port Dalhousie is such a cute, walkable beach town and this house is perfectly situated to explore this area on foot as well as get you to any of the other local areas (St. Catharines, Ontario wine region, Niagara-on-the-lake, etc.) within a short drive. Know that the living area is very small, as other reviewers noted, but we found it met our needs. The outdoor space is beautiful and well equipped with seating to enjoy your surroundings - including the local crewing teams. The hosts, Lana and Zeke, are very friendly too!

Collins estate review
The location of the rental in the quaint. Immunity of Port Dalhousie is great. It is on the water although you cannot access the water. But is a beautiful view. The accommodations were clean and well renovated. Each room is thoughtfully equipped with a garbage can and tissue box. The kitchen is much better equipped than expected. The eating and living areas are very small. Only 4 can eat and there is sitting for 3 in the living room. This didn’t impact us as the weather was nice so we sat and ate outside. The yard is large, fairly private and quiet. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. Thank you Lana and Zeke

Exactly as listed… perfect for us!
We had a great time staying at this property! It was exactly as listed in the profile. The hosts were very easy to get in touch with as one night we needed the ac cranked up (hello heatwave!) which they accommodated. It was very clean and comfortable. Perfect spot for going on day trips to the wineries and other fun activities because it’s quite central! Also very close to the beach which was nice for the kids. Beautiful view as well. Also great shower pressure :)

Misleading
We thought we were renting both floors. Unfortunately we ended up getting the second floor only which meant going up and down the steep stairs constantly to sit in the backyard as there is no living room. There is a small dining table in the kitchen which obviously cannot accommodate 8 people, so everyday we had to carry our food up and down to the backyard for breakfast and dinner. In one of the bathrooms, the door is so old that you have to push it with all the power you got to close it and not to mention you need to sit on the toilet sideways because the toilet is literally places between the wall and the sink with no room.

Nice appartement in a great location
This 4 bedrooms appartement located on top of the owner house is well located. 5 minutes to the local beach and 20 to 30 minutes from the main attractions. Every thing was clean and in order. The kitchen is verry small if you plan to cook a lot and the small kitchen table can only fit 4 people. The living Room is a couch in a small allway. You Can't have acces to the water from the property. We Enjoy our overall stay.

Amazing property with a great water view
What a great stay! Spacious bedrooms with a cozy living room set up. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and complimentary coffee. There was limited common space inside for a party of 8 but it was enough. Fantastic outdoor setting with lots of benches, tables and a fire pit for the evenings. Thanks!

Very easy check in and very clean inside rental property. Great view of the water and good location to Niagara on the Lake/Niagara Region.

A stunning sunrise view over the water...
We loved our stay - the property was very clean, good water pressure, and completely met out needs. Great jumping off spot for all of Niagara Region! We really enjoyed watching the sunrises, and the rowers practicing out on the water in the early morning. The big yard was a great space for our 4.5 year old son to run around in, and the neighbourhood made for some very pretty walks.

Great relaxing stay!
Beautiful place with great views of the lake. We loved being able to have a fire so close to the lake at night. The sun room is great to have a morning coffee in and do some reading. Port Dalhousie is pretty town and perfectly situated to see the falls, visit wineries, or other touring of the Niagara region
Great place! Would definitely stay again

Property was somehow like listed. Just that the listing did not specify that it was a flat (upper level) and that the lower level is occupied.
Overall, good saty

Great spot
This is a great location if you're looking to enjoy the beach and patios in Port Dalhousie. It's a 5 minute walk from the strip and you have your own view of water from the backyard. The flat was very clean and it had all the amentities you need. The backyard has lots of tables for outside dining and chairs for having a fire or looking out on the water. The check - in was smooth and the hosts ensure you have your privacy while using the backyard. I highly recommend booking this flat.
