Each room in your private beach house showcases beautiful furniture, decorations and artwork. Waterfront living at it's best!

(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.

Great lakeside cottage

The cottage was great! Right on the lake with plenty of room, inside and outside. We liked watching the sunsets and eating outside. And...just yards from the only sandy beach around.

Relaxing and beautiful location!

We had a great trip to Olcott Beach! The house was amazing and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The views from the deck were beautiful. We enjoyed playing on the beach and walking through the town. Only a 40 minute drive to Niagara Falls and Canada. Will definitely recommend this place!

Fabulous September visit

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. Extremely clean and comfortable; and the best well stocked home ( you have thought of everything we could have forgotten!) that we've ever stayed at. The views are spectacular and there are binoculars everywhere. Our family, who live in the area , were equally impressed. I've already recommended this property to friends and family.

Great time in Olcott

From booking to checking out, the process was seamless. The house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for the six of us. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck and watching the sunset in the evening. I highly recommend reserving this house for anyone who wants a relaxing vacation. I hope we have the opportunity to return

Clean and convenient

This house is the cleanest and most well-organized we have stayed at so far. Scott and Michelle provided all of the basics we could think of, plus some! Communication was clear and timely. The town of Olcott is perfect for young and old alike, very walkable with lots of activities for the four tweens and teens we had with us. Spending a day at niagara falls was an easy drive from here, and bicycling and having lunch in Lewiston was also time well spent.

Great Rental

This was a great rental. The description of the property was accurate and Scott was easy to deal with. The location on the lake is terrific and walking distance to shops and restaurants in the Olcott Beach area. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Kitchen was well appointed. Scott even left a few drinks and snacks because he knew I was getting in late. Will definitely come back again.

Peaceful Lake House property

We had a beautiful time in Olcott. 2 long time friends and I celebrated our birthdays (all in our 30s). There just happened to be a small festival happening over the weekend and we were told they had things every weekend! How fun and exciting. We traveled to Niagara falls twice and shopped around at local places along the way. Very friendly community. The evenings were beautiful on the patio listening to the waves and watching the sunsets.

Gorgeous Setting in an Adorable Little Town

We truly loved our stay here. The views over the lake were amazing, and we spent some days just sitting on the deck watching sailboats, Canada geese, and the Toronto skyline in the distance.. The nearby Olcott Marina had an excellent launch for our boat (the new breakwalls are finished, and really well done). Niagara Falls was an easy drive, and the local farmer's markets had incredible seasonal produce. Olcott is a wonderful town with an old-fashioned feel. The house is comfortable, and though I worried about there being no central air during an August heatwave, the window units did a terrific job of keeping the house at a comfy temperature. This has been one of our favorite vacation houses, and we'd happily stay here again!

Great trip on Lake Ontario!

The house is great! Clean. Everything we needed was there! Loved the location. Lake is beautiful. Area is very nice and quiet Scott called us to touch base when we were arriving. A plus. Only one surprise. Shower handle in master tub not working. Leaked. And valve handle taped closed with a sign not to use Not prepared to have 7 family members staying in the the house with only 1 working shower. But we made it work. Thanks. Would stay again!

Loved the town of Olcott and the events they host. Relaxing time away from the city!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Close enough to drive to the Niagra area and come back to relax by the lake. It was nice to have a private beach area. We enjoyed some of the local events going on in Olcott. I was able to meet Scott and he encouraged us to call if we needed anything. House was clean and very well kept. Had many of the amenities that sometimes get forgotten. The only disappointment was that house was advertised as 3 bedroom. There is actually only 2 bedrooms and then a roll away sofa in the lower level which is also open to the kitchen so there is no privacy. This would be great for kids but not for adults. There is also no TV in the lower level which made it difficult for my elderly mother to go up and down the stairs. Overall, house was very nice and I would definitely recommend for a single family or two couples with children.

Fantastic family vacation

My family visited Olcott Beach for the first time and had absolutely fabulous time. First of all, Scott and Michelle are fantastic host and such a friendly and kind people! Scott was always so prompt to answer all the questions we had prior to the visit. When we arrived, we couldn’t figure out how to operate the TV and they were so kind to come over and helped us. The house was located at the perfect location, right next to the Lakeview Village Shoppers, and has literally everything you need for the stay. The best part was the view from their deck, both on the main floor and on the lower deck that leads to the beach. I spent a lot of time sipping coffee in the morning and admiring the sun set on the deck. My son and my husband enjoyed Fishing almost every day! On the July 3rd, we had our private view point for the fireworks which was amazing. The house was very clean and had a lot of thoughtful touch too! Olcott is such a hidden gem and Scott and Michelle’s place makes the stay here so perfect. My family will recommend this place to anyone and would love to come back someday soon!

Not what we expected

Scott was a pleasant landlord to work with, but the rental was not what we expected based on the description online. The home was clean, but dated. The bed was good enough, but the rest of the furniture was not at all comfortable. While the back deck did offer a beautiful view of Lake Ontario, the bugs were so bad that you could not sit out there to enjoy it. The neighborhood was basically a couple of dive bars and a "village" that consists of a couple of souvenir shops and an ice cream/hot dog stand. There was, however, a lovely public park/beach at the end of the street and apparently in the summer there's a small carnival-like area for kids. But overall I expected much more from his property.

A beautiful, family friendly village on Lake Ontario ~ a perfect place to unplug and relax.

We had an incredible week in a lovely home. The only challenge and this may be important for some people, is that there is no wifi or cell coverage in the house / property. We would have to walk around the block to find a signal. If you work remotely or have family that you are needing to keep contact with this can be a concern. However for some that do not need that connection it may actually make this property the PERFECT place to truly unplug. No distractions, no beeping. The house is filled with everything you need to cook, play, swim, sleep and clean up after yourself. The view is breath taking - truly seeing Toronto across the lake in the nightly sunsets. The small village is much busier and entertaining than I ever imagined it would be. The shops are adorable, the restaurant near the park is excellent with a wonderful selection of wines and the ice cream parlor has the new curled ice cream that is all the rage (it was yummy). With the right books and company you would never have to leave Olcott. Although the general store is very limited so stock up on food essentials and anything that you may need for dietary restrictions. But we DID leave Olcott. Less than an hour to Buffalo - a city I fell in love with. An hour to Niagra Falls - and all that both sides have to offer. Less than three hours to Toronto which was AMAZING. Wineries everywhere if you enjoy that as well! This was a perfect week that ended far too soon and coming home after a day trip to a beautiful sunset, a comfortable bed and fresh coffee in the morning made me a lake lover for the rest of my life. A day spent swimming, resting, reading and playing Yahtzee in the house was just as wonderful in its own way. You can keep the noisy ocean and sharks. :) Scott was available at all times to answer questions as well. Thank you Scott and Michelle for sharing your home I truly appreciated it.
