Amazing views and location.

We absolutely loved our stay here. This was probably the best stocked rental home I've ever stayed in and i travel often. Bedrooms have an amazing view of the lake. Beds were very comfy and everything was so clean. The house was very cozy with a beautiful backyard and deck. We will definitely be coming back!

On the lake in wonderful house

Our group of 3 couples thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in this house. The view of the lake is magnificent and the lake is literally right there. The house was super clean and well stocked without any clutter. It was a delightful time and I hope to return. No problems whatsoever.

Perfect September week on Lake Ontario

Johnny and his family provided us with a beautiful house and location. We were thrilled to have such a well-equipped kitchen to cook in and enjoy time with family and friends in the area. We were also very grateful for the welcome gift! This is a dream house and location. We cannot wait to visit again!

Beautiful Place

The neighborhood it quiet and friendly. The house is close to a ton of things to do. It was only 20 min to the Museum of Play, 15 min to Seabreeze. The park and beach are a few minutes walk. The kids loved building on the little beach by the deck and playing in the back yard. We had a very wonderful and relaxing time.

Best Vrbo

This was the nicest property we ever had the privilege of staying at. It was so nice that we didn’t want to leave. Of particular note was the view of the local gardens that line the “secret sidewalk” and, of course, the direct access to Lake Ontario. The home was extremely comfortable, fully stocked with amenities, and beautifully furnished. When we arrived, everything was spotlessly clean and the host, Johnny, even left a welcome gift! We would love to visit again!

Fantastic Accommodations

This home is great! Great location, great set up (kitchen was stocked with everything from trash bags to bowls; towels, sheets, even beach towels, etc..) great family, great views and a great choice for our our stay! We sat on the dock every night with family and friends sharing stories and laughs. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Full bath on the main level is small but easy to overlook with so many positives. I will be reserving next years trip very soon.

Spectacular

100% we are going to stay here again next year if this property is available during my vacation time. My two young daughters loved the beach house and really had little interest in going out in town to do anything. Communication with the owner was easy and quick. The property is spacious and has everything you may need. For people with young members joining them, a playground is a quick 1/2 mile walk away, with a custard stand across the street. And an added bonus, the neighbors were all super friendly, with one neighbor giving my daughters bubbles to enjoy (which they absolutely did). I have stayed in several rental properties over the years and this was by far the best. Do yourself a favor and enjoy this place.

What a Treasure!

We had a wonderful stay at this property, it is more beautiful in person than the photos. The house has such a comforting vibe to it and you can feel how much care and love has gone into the house. The owner is so kind and was always available to help or answer questions. It was also immaculately clean and well stocked with everything you could need. This house is definitely one of Rochester's hidden treasures. Thank you for sharing your property with us!
