A dream

This house is truly a dream. Just like the pictures. Beautiful inside and well taken care off. The mattresses are extremely comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped for cooking, the fireplace was amazing, and there was ample space for everyone to spread out. But the best part was the view and the beach right in front of the property. We went on walks every day. Absolutely beautiful. We cannot wait to come back here. The property manager was very nice, personable and went above and beyond to make sure we were all set for check in. Thank you!

Best beach house in town!

Everything our family needed and more! We had two families staying together with kids ages 7-15. The property could not be more perfect for us. Everyone had a wonderful time. The kids made so many memories swimming, kayaking, building a mini golf course in the sand, hunting for sea glass and beach treasures, and just being together. The house is very elegant, yet so cozy. Our families felt right at home here. It’s clear that the owners carefully considered what families would need to have a comfortable and easy stay. We love how the outdoor shower kept us from having to constantly sweep up after the kids’ sandy feet! We are so thankful to have been able to stay here for two summers in a row and we’re hoping to return again and again!

Amazing Home

This was the most beautiful setting and lovely home! The sand and the water, the sunrises and sunsets, and all the comforts provided within the home, made this a perfect stay for me and my out-of-town family. Communication with the owner and the property manager was excellent. We can’t thank them enough for our 2 wonderful stays here!!!

Graduation weekend celebration

The house, property and location were amazing. My expectations were exceeded in every way. Communication with host and check in was very easy and convenient. The house is beautiful, clean and up to date. The views from the windows and balcony were gorgeous. It had the space and amenities to comfortably accommodate our large group. Our family had a wonderful time. Definitely worth every penny.

Perfect family weekend spot

A beautiful home in a beautiful location! Everything was comfortable and clean, and just as pictured/described. We loved the game room, the big gathering areas, and of course the beach out the back door. A magical mini-vacation for our extended family!

Relaxing stay at a beautiful house

This is a wonderful rental on Lake Ontario! Our family was in the area for the Eastern Zone Swimming Championships and found this location to be an easy drive to the pool and convenient to groceries and restaurants. The house itself is beautiful inside and out and well equipped. The spacious rooms gave us plenty of room for downtime and the wonderful kitchen/dining area and game room facilitated some rousing competition! Our kids even took advantage of some lake cold plunging (in March!) This is a wonderful spot, and I can imagine a great find for year-round activities. Hoping to stay there again next year for the same purpose!

Great House

It was our 2nd time renting from Jennifer, we live in the area but purchased a weekend for mom/dad/grandma and grandpa as a Christmas gift, they enjoyed themselves very much, they love to be with the family. Grandma worked on her 1000 piece puzzle, lots of euchre and great food. A weekend to remember and the house and owner are GREAT! Even had her dad give me a call while we were there to make sure the driveway was plowed and we were all set with everything! Highly recommend.

Perfect place and view for a friends weekend

Perfect size home and space for a girls weekend. We all had our own bedrooms and beds, but best of all was the open floor plan, kitchen, living room and dining area. The view of the lake and beach is spectacular. We were there in early December and what a treat to have a holiday tree all set up. Highly recommend!

Special Thanksgiving

We had 3 generations staying at the house and there was something special about the stay for everyone. Being able to have thanksgiving dinner all sitting at the table was like having it at home. The stay was amazing and relaxing. The house has everything we needed and then some. Hope to come back!

Awesome Beachfront Property

The property is exactly as described and comes with everything you need away from home. We were a group of 10 enjoying the golf in the Rochester area and the house worked out great. We would definitely come back in the future and a few of the guys are planning family trips as this property would be amazing for families as well.

A true gem

It is wonderful that the McKnight’s share their beautiful beach house for others to rent and use. Gorgeous home on a perfectly serene patch of Crescent Beach. We enjoyed a happy weekend away with close friends & kids. Great amenities and responsive owners/hosts. We’ll definitely return in the future.
