Island Vista - A Canandaigua Lake Dream Home!

Nestled along a peaceful private road on Canandaigua Lake's northwest shore, Island Vista offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and breathtaking lake views. This four-bedroom Finger Lakes vacation home is ideal for families and friends seeking a relaxing escape with easy access to all of Canandaigua's favorite attractions.

Step inside and take in the stunning open-concept great room, where light pours in from walls of windows and the lake stretches endlessly before you. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals and lively gatherings, with plenty of counter space, an island for chatting with the chef, and a large dining table for family-style dinners. A privacy wall separates the dining area from the cozy living room, where plush leather seating invites you to unwind after a day on the water or exploring nearby trails and wineries.

The outdoor deck is a guest favorite — perfect for morning coffee, birdwatching, or stargazing at night as the water shimmers below. You'll find yourself drawn to this peaceful spot again and again, soaking up the tranquility of the lake and the fresh Finger Lakes air.

Two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms are conveniently located on the main level, ideal for guests who prefer easy access. Upstairs, two more beautifully designed bedrooms provide additional space and privacy. The loft landing includes a desk area with high-speed Wi-Fi, perfect for guests who need to catch up on emails or take a quick video call — with lake views that make “working from vacation” feel effortless.

Step outside to enjoy the landscaped lawn that leads to 64 feet of private lake frontage. A permanent dock offers a perfect place to cast a line, take in the views, or launch a kayak on calm mornings. The gentle, gradual entry into the lake makes it easy for swimmers of all ages to enjoy the water safely.

When you're ready to explore, Canandaigua's best restaurants and attractions are just minutes away. Enjoy lakeside dining at New York Kitchen, grab brunch at Simply Crêpes, or treat the kids to an afternoon of fun at Roseland Waterpark. End the evening with local craft beer at Young Lion or Twisted Rail before stopping for ice cream at Scoops.

Whether you're here for adventure or pure relaxation, Island Vista offers everything you need for a classic Finger Lakes getaway. From its breathtaking views to its peaceful setting, this lake home promises memories you'll treasure long after your stay.

Great family reunion spot

What a beautiful place to stay with my three sibilings and mom for her birthday! Everything was as described! With great fishing to boot. Good location close to Wegmans and restaurants! We loved our lake tour and on Canadaiqua Lady around the lake !

Family wedding retreat

Was gorgeous place with plenty of space for 8 of us. Great views and a dock to have a cup of coffee and look over the water. Only downside was bring your own supplies. We have to go buy toilet paper, paper towels and such. But well worth it for the place

Bachlorette weekend

Booked this for bachlorette weekend and we felt like the pictures didn’t do it justice! We were so happy with it plus it was in a great location. Right on the water and minutes away from the lake house and Seager marine where we spent some time. House was kept up with and very clean and was easy to access with keypad! Highly recommend!!

Great Location

House is nice. Dated but in such a great location for enjoying the lake that the house is more of an afterthought. Landscaping was completely ignored. Looked like an abandoned house.

This house is just beautiful. It has most amazing view of the lake from many rooms. Very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is so well stocked. I was able to make cookies :) The only downside is the limit of 8 people. This house could very comfortably fit 2-3 families.

Picture Perfect!

This was everything we needed and a perfect “staycation!” We live 25 minutes away so being at the north end worked out great. Our 4 grown kids could come and go as need be. It was also close enough to be able to take walks to the pier and visit with the good people at Seager Marine. :) The house was extremely neat with everything you need to cook. Having AC is always a perk and we enjoyed the grill and fire pit. I highly recommend to anyone who lives near or far. Unfortunately we probably will look elsewhere next summer. It was hard for us to leave our small, non-shedding dog. We also would have loved to have a few floats or kayak. The water was too sea-weedy to swim off the dock. Younger kids would be just fine and would have a blast playing in the crystal clear water/walk-in area. It was a great week!
