Neighbourhood highlights Discover the sights of Port Credit:
The Port Credit is renowned for its scenic parks, many of which span the shore of Lake Ontario. During your visit, stop by Tall Oaks Park (named for – you guessed it – it’s beautiful Oak trees) and take the walking path to the waterfront.
-The Waterfront Trail will lead you to Port Credit Memorial Park, with stunning vistas for basking in the area’s natural beauty, trails for hiking or cycling and a playground to keep the kids busy.
-The Port Credit Light House - Walk across the pedestrian bridge to visit the heart of the Port, the Lighthouse – a nod to the village’s marine heritage. Head to its deck to enjoy views of the harbour and Credit River.
- The Brueckner Rhododendron Gardens, also located on the shore of Lake Ontario, is one of the many local gems. While the best blooms are visible from May to June, it makes for a lovely walk.
Enjoy the food scene of Port Credit:
Port Credit’s Lakeshore Road and the nearby area is home to a wealth of trendy, classic and delicious restaurants.
- For a tasty brunch, look no further than Huevos Gourmet, which serves up Mexican and French fusion dishes like taco and nacho benedicts. They’re not the only fusion option on the block, though! For something on the sweeter side, you’ll love the egg waffles, durian pancakes and black sesame parfaits at Sugar Marmalade. -
-For a casual coffee break with a cool atmosphere, check out the Archtop Café.
- For smash burger fans, head to Rosie’s Burgers for lunch. Their crispy, juicy, melty cheeseburgers will satisfy any craving – washed down with a fresh milkshake for the ultimate indulgence.
-For a special evening out, Snug Harbour is one of the most popular restaurants in all of the Greater Toronto Area, owing to its prime spot on the waterfront looking out to Lake Ontario – not to mention the impeccable seafood menu. During the warm weather from April to June, Shore Grill and Grotto opens its boardwalk patio. The rest of the year, you can relax in their lounge-like setting while you try their spin on traditional favourites like stone-fired pizza.

Comfortable and Easygoing
I recently stayed at this rental for four days. The house was clean, beds made and ready; bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. Bathrooms are modern and work well (cold water faucet did not function in master bathroom. maybe the feed was not on) Laundry downstairs works great (watch your head - low ceiling in unfinished basement). The neighborhood is quiet, with every kind of food/restaurant on Lakeside Ave, a short walk away an the shores of Lake Ontario around the corner. Close to a little park for walking dogs, playing with kids, or just sitting and enjoying the lake. Easy drive into Toronto, with traffic lighter at night. 40 minutes to an hour midday, 30 minute drive after 8pm. Would stay here again for sure. Thanks so much

Perfect family getaway
My family and dog had such a nice time here. It was close to tons of restaurants and shops as well as a block away from a beautiful waterfront walking path. The house was spacious and comfortable with a beautiful yard view. The only minor change I would make is to have the yard picked up. There was some garbage strewn about and my dog kept trying to eat it

Uncomfortable
The house was at 2 degrees Celsius when we checked. We turned the heat on right away but had to stay in our full winter outerwear for the night as we could see our hot breath when speaking. Kitchen was missing some essential things and also had dirty dishes. I had invited some family over for a birthday and expressed this to the host on advance but still received threats to call the cops all night and him speaking through the camera to our guests. Overall was just uncomfortable in every sense and would not recommend. House was beautiful though.

Great location but old and cold
We did not receive check-in instructions upon arrival and had to delay entry. Overall the house is cute and well supplied. The beds were not comfortable. With frigid temps outside, we were quite cold, even after hiking the thermostat. No extra blankets were provided other than what was on the bed. No instructions given for fireplace and we were unable to use it. As the house is not renovated, there are minimal outlets available. Trash outside was overflowing from precious occupants and no instructions given to bring bins to the street for pick-up. Yard maintenance was sorely needed. Off-street parking was adequate.

Wonderful location in Port Credit
The benefits of this property are the location, in the heart of Port Credit, close to the water and town, with easy access to walking paths, and the home owner, Danish who is attentive and easy to reach.
Unfortunately, the home needs some TLC with mold in the shower stalls, a dank smell in the shared bathroom, broken wardrobe doors in a bedroom, window shades that cannot be opened, and general age related issues.
These were all brought to the attention of the owner who committed to remedy, so you may not encounter the same conditions going forward.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would likely not return to this particular property.

Great place for a family visit
Family was very comfortable here for our stay. House was clean and comfortable. A good amount of renovations going on, but nothing that got on our way or made us uncomfortable. Danish was regularly in contact. We would go back.

Clean home in a good neighborhood
We stayed at Danish's place to attend a wedding. We had guests over a couple of times and were able to host a small bbq with Danish's help. He was responsive and did his best to accommodate our requests (larger mirror, additional towels, etc).
There are 2 bedrooms and a attic bedroom with double beds. Additionally a lounge with a dining table and a nice sun light kitchen with a view to the backyard.

Cozy house, wouldn't recommend for big group
House is old, probably close to 100 years old. Some renos. A little crowded for the 8 of us.
I think the description is a little misleading. Only 3 sleeping areas, not 5. One bedroom with queen bed and sofa bed. One bedroom with queen bed and ensuite bath. One attic room with 2 queen beds. It was a little awkward to split up our group of 8 into the 3 rooms. But we managed. The ensuite is a decent size, but the main bath is quite small. Not too much counter space in the kitchen, so don't expect to do any fancy cooking. The addition off the kitchen is quite nice with big windows into the garden.
Location is about 3 blocks of the Lakeshore Dr. Quiet and convenient.
It's ok, but I wouldn't recommend it for a big group.

Lovely Neighborhood
This property is in a great location and had everything we needed for our stay. It is close to the Go train, making it is easy to travel into Toronto. Port Credit has lots of great restaurants within walking distance. It was easy to communicate with the host.
