Perfect location!

We had an amazing stay! Great communication with host, and the listing was exactly as pictured/described. Many amenities were provided throughout the house that were convenient. I can not express how perfect of a location this was. Easy quick walk to the beach, restaurants/bars, but far enough from the main road that it was quiet. We loved the amazing deck that overlooks the canal. We would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay! My sister and I brought our 83 yr old mother to Sylvan Beach so she could catch up with her girlfriends since grade school. We moved from Canastota 46 yrs ago and loved coming to Sylvan Beach as kids. Our visit was amazing and a lot of that was because this house was perfect. Sitting on the porch at night watching the boats, walking to all the restaurants and beach and sitting at the beautiful island in the kitchen made our visit even better!! It was very clean and Stephanie made everything so easy!! We hope to visit again someday and would definitely book this house again and next time use the canoes!! Best house in Sylvan Beach!

Great Stay!

The upstairs unit had a generous deck with lovely views of the canal that goes out to the lake. A quick walk across the street and you can catch an incredible sunset! Inside the house we had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and everything was super clean. I highly recommend.

Relaxing Beach Weekend

Loved the property and location & kayak/fishing dock. Perfect location to walk to local restaurants or ice cream shop or beach. Property was modern and clean. Area was tucked away so a bit quieter which was ideal. Owner resolved internet issue promptly and was a gem prior to arriving with check in instructions. Would recommend for sure.

Enjoyable Getaway

The host, Stephanie, was very responsive and hospitable. The rental was very nice and extremely clean. Fantastic getaway rental to enjoy the nostalgia of where my husband grew up. It was a great way to experience his summer vacations as a child. The location has onsite parking and is in walking distance to everything at Sylvan Beach. This rental overlooks the canal with access to dock, kayaks, patio, and grill. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay here again.
