The location was fabulous...very easy walk to old town NOTL and the walking/biking path to Niagara. Lots of room and beautiful view of the river and Lake Ontario.
We loved our stay at Elsa's place in Niagara-On-The-Lake. It felt like the perfect place to spend New Years and create beautiful family memories. It was clean, had everything we needed and was so spacious. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would absolute stay again.
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.
This is a lovely place to stay. Wonderful location on the water with a short walk into town. Very spacious, well stocked kitchen, and we loved the NEOB bath products we bought some to take home. We highly recommend.
Our family has a great time at this Sanibel North home! It was in a perfect location and had everything we could have asked for. The place was very clean and spacious. Would definitely return.
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.
The house was even nicer than we expected! Plenty of room for all! We loved being right on the water and enjoyed sitting out on the back patio and catching up with each other. Highly recommend.
We stayed for the long weekend and it was fantastic! The house was perfect for our group of six. It was clean and had ample space for all of us. No problems at all. Thank you!
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.
We were six seniors who regularly book 3-4 day mini holidays. This stay at Sanibel was GREAT! Right on the water, beautiful grounds, very spacious home equipped with every amenity we needed. Had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.
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.
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!
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
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.
