The space
Your space is an efficiency apartment nestled in the back of a Victorian home just across the street from Lake Ontario. You'll have your own private entrance, and you'll have access to Lake Ontario as well as Charlotte Beach, Ontario Beach Park, Charlotte Pier, The Genesee Lighthouse, and several bars and restaurants just a few blocks away. Remember if you're having a larger gathering you can rent the main part of the home or even rent the entire house by getting these listings together, with access through a connecting door! Please ask me any questions!

Guest access
You'll have your own private access to the hideaway through a separate set of stairs at the back of the home. The hideaway has a keyless entry system and I'll send your personalized access code on the day of check in as soon as your space is ready!

Other things to note
What you may not like:

-There are 18 steps leading to your rental--please see photos

-The lake and beach are awesome, you may not get a lot of beach time during the winter months! I also put the grill, lawn and patio furniture into storage during winter months!

-Charlotte has a lot of local favorite restaurants and attractions, some of these have shorter winter hours.

-The hideaway is part of a larger home, and entire home is listed on this platform, so you could have neighbors who are also on vacation. There are no shared spaces between the two separate units, however I do ask you be mindful of disturbing your neighbors, the walls are always thinner than we expect!

-Smoking is NOT allowed inside the Hideaway, there is a smoking area in the courtyard at the bottom of the stairs, please note I have a $500 odor remediation fee for any violations.

Neighborhood highlights

Charlotte is a quaint little community right on the edge of Lake Ontario! Home to the Ontario State Park (just a few blocks from your space) for swimming, picnic, and playground!

Also a few blocks away are many local favorite restaurants, both high end and "sports bar" environments, enjoy Abbotts Custard, and several attractions including a tour of the 1822 Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse!
If you're looking for things to do either while here or if you arrive early, check out my guestbook, I highly recommend Mr. Dominicks at the lake for great food and cocktails. Hose 22 or Windjammers are great local sports bars with fantastic food, beer and wine. Tour the Genesee lighthouse, stroll down the pier, enjoy Ontario State Park and ride on the genuine historic carousel!

They say "Do what you love and call it work" I love helping people find unforgettable experiences that bring smiles when you look back on the memories! I just added my first listing at Myrtle Beach, SC, one of my vacation spots! I hope to add a few more in some of my other favorite places, in the mean time I hope you enjoy Myrtle Beach as much as I do!
