Family-friendly holiday rentals in Downtown, St. Catharines

Carl & Sherrie are wonderful hosts, and their coach house is the most amazing Airbnb that we have had the pleasure to call home away from home! We stayed for three nights, but could have easily enjoyed this place for a month. It’s cozy, beautiful, peaceful & was such a great launching point for all we did in Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake, and horseback riding out in the country. They really put quality workmanship into the bright kitchen, the glistening bathroom and cool shower, and the private courtyard and hot tub is all that they described! No surprise that this is rated a Guest Favorite.

My family had a wonderful time celebrating my Granddaughter’s 10th birthday, as well as Father’s Day. Nancy was a wonderful host who greeted us with her family, for a tour of the property upon check-in. The property is exceptionally beautiful with so much to do for everyone so was there never a reason to leave but it was great having the town of Grimsby only a 5 min drive away and the Bruce trail right next door. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely look to book again in the future.

Amy's place is fantastic and she was an incredible host. I stayed with 5 of my friends and the rental was clean, spacious, and had so many activities for us. There is a downstairs tenant and is located in a neighbourhood, but my friends and I commented on how private the space was. The pool and hot tub area has a privacy wall, and the tenant has a separate entrance. We felt like we were in our own little world and had a great weekend. Amy was so friendly and professional. She was on top of everything for our check in, even messaging ahead to look after small details. It felt fantastic to have stress free accommodations that looked exactly like the photos. I would highly recommend staying here.

Loved this home, it was beautifully decorated every inch. My favourite bedroom was the one on the first floor. This was a change from the typical waterfront properties our family books but with a heated pool and jacuzzi that was situated in a landscaped backyard we couldn’t ask for more. Very clean and she had everything. Lindy has really outdone herself to make sure her guests from all ages enjoy her home. She accommodated our family literally 3 hours before checkin, as the cottage we originally booked the host cancelled less than 24hrs before checkin. Thank you Lindy for sharing your home!!

The location was immaculate and it was the perfect getaway. Located minutes away from the Falls!

We felt instantly at home in the lovely house on an idyllic road.

Justin was an amazing host! He was very accommodating when I had last minute changes to my arrival time and the number of guests staying. This was my first time in Canada and Justin’s home was a very clean and comfortable place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Restaurants are very close and the Falls are a short drive away. Justin is very responsive and all the rules for the home including garbage management and departure clean up are spelled out seamlessly. Completely matches the description with the manicured lawn to match. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay! A favorite was walking to the end of the street and watching the sunset over the lake. Nicely situated between Niagara Falls and Toronto.

Martin is an excellent host and willing to help however he can. He gave us the suggestion of attending the Falls at night to watch the fireworks. We walked all over even to the Canadian side and back from the house. Great location! Beds were so comfortable!!

Great little place to stay

We had a wonderful stay! It was a very short drive to the Falls, and we also went to the aquarium. I would highly recommend this place. Tamar was very responsive. She lives in the neighborhood, and was very responsive and friendly.

Joaquin 's was quiet, clean and met the needs of our group very well!

we had a wonderful weekend at Andrea and Joaquin's house. besides being really comfortable, beautiful, and feeling safe, It's quite a beautiful historical home with lovely woodwork and shapes in the old windows. we hope to be back!

John was very responsive and the breakfast was great! The description was accurate and walkable to Clifton Hill or falls. Uber was less than $9 from Clifton Hill, if you don't feel like walking back after long day. very reasonable. Great trip!

We had a very comfortable stay, host is very responsive, place is clean, AC is working great, hot water works well... Place facilities such as the pool is nice and clean, we enjoyed the multi purpose court where we were able to play pickleball.

We stayed here over the May long weekend with a family group of 13 and had a fantastic experience! There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably, and the property offered lots to do. Its close proximity to major stores which was convenient in case we needed extra supplies. The home is well-equipped for large gatherings, with plenty of beds, dining tables, and seating. Robert, the host, welcomed us with a cake on the first night—a thoughtful touch that made us feel at home. We booked the 7-bedroom option, which included extra sleeping space and access to a pool table—my kids loved it! The lakefront view was stunning, especially at sunset and at night with the Toronto skyline lit up. Sitting by the fire with that view was an amazing touch which made roasting mallows much more enjoyable. The large outdoor inground pool was perfect for warm days. This property is ideal for bigger families or groups looking for a relaxing, quiet getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

Went for a weekend away and the place was a great stay. It was clean and communication was great. They even left us snacks and a nice note.

Good location walking distance to many activities and restaurants. Clean place and house keeping was provided.

I had stayed at this resort before but through the resort. No plunger. Had to call and wait to get the toilet unclogged. No wifi as well. I paid more as well and the cottage was smaller in size. This cottage was spacious and had all the amenities. Never had to contact John except how to turn on the heat and hot water. I highly recommend this cottage

Great cottage. Only 20mn to Niagara Falls but in a very quiet and peaceful cottage neighborhood. The house is as described. You can enjoy walking in the neighborhood, sit next to a fire pit, cook on the grill and relax on the pool after a long day at the Falls. You definitely feel at home with all the available amenities. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. They always made sure we have what we need. They do genuinely care. We had a great time. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much.

Great stay. Super super responsive. So close to highway. Well stocked. Easy to speak with. Minutes from everything you need.

A nice Lakefront Getaway! We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this beautiful lakefront property! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the water and the peaceful atmosphere. The house itself is spacious, clean, and very well-equipped — perfect for large group getaway or family vacation. The private lake access was a huge highlight. We spent just relaxing by the water with a coffee in hand. There was plenty of outdoor seating, a large deck and even a fire pit that made evenings magical. Inside, the home had everything we needed — comfortable beds, a fully stocked kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and cozy common spaces for movie nights or board games. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat this property has it all. We didn’t want to leave.
