Beachfront vacation rentals in Sylvan Beach

Brian was excellent in communication and answering questions about his place and the surrounding area, prior to our departure. Unfortunately we were staying there for a business trip, and our client cancelled the trip two days before we left. The reason was a lake effect snowstorm that was going to hit Syracuse and surrounding areas the day we were to drive up to Altmar, NY from the Philadelphia region. At the time, the weather teams in Philadelphia were telling us that we could get hit on our way back to Philly with snow that would be 12" - 15", which didn't happen. Our client is going to reschedule the trip hopefully in the near future. My crew and I tend to book Brian's place again when it's rescheduled. We wanted to give Brian 5 stars on everything, because there really isn't a place in the 'ratings' area that says 'we had to cancel the trip'. I'm sure once we get up there for the reschedule that we'll be giving a 5 star rating regardless.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at the charming Stone Cottage room.- a wonderful location close to everything in Cazenovia. Watching the sunset from the shore of the lake next door was a delightful bonus. Wendy is an attentive and thoughtful host. Our stay was everything we could have wanted. As we have family in the area we will definitely come again.

I didn't realize that you had to bring your own linen. Sara was nice enough to include it with our stay. Very nice thing to do

Perfect lake location with a large flat yard and beach. Perfect for the grandchildren. Lots of water craft for guest use. Surprisingly little boat traffic on this part of the lake. Plenty of outdoor seating.Easy drive into town for supplies and dining. Hiking trails accessible right from the property. Cottage is rustic and quirky and about 100 yrs old but worked out fine for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids under 5. Kitchen was well supplied, nice sized living room for hanging out on rainy days (thanks hurricane Debby!). Big dining table for eating and playing board games. Washer/dryer came in handy. Plenty of towels! Jackie was a great host. Very responsive. We all fell in love with the amazing lakefront and would definitely return.

We had an amazing time at Edie and Daniel's place. The house is right next to the beach so we were able to walk right over, and the view from the house is beautiful. We have a 17-month-old and the house was great for a toddler - has a crib, high chair, gate for the stairs, not a lot of clutter. The location is great, right next to convenience stores and walkable to restaurants or for delivery. The beds were really comfortable as well! Overall a great spot with really responsive and friendly hosts. Would definitely stay again!

Very charming house with everything we needed. However the most amazing part of our stay was the lakefront. Such a special place!! Large grass area with many chairs, beautiful view, easy access to the lake and all the kayaks and SUPs we needed!

Our extended family of eight enjoyed staying in this rustic cottage right on the water. Big windows in most of the rooms gave us wonderful views. The fire pit right near the water was perfect for s’mores. Private and peaceful!

We had a really great time here! The pictures don't do this place justice. The lake views are amazing all throughout and the house and the deck and boathouse are also really good too. The house is also in a nice part of the lake that isn't crowded and is very serene and peaceful. The host was great with communication as well. We would definitely consider coming back to this place if we come back to the area sometime soon!

Cute place, conveniently located in the center of everything ! The place is quaint and perfect for a small family. The outside has a cute setup perfect for relaxing outside watching the sunset.

Great location, cute and comfortable space. Thank you!

This is a diamond in the rough. The cabin is quirky and wonderfully unique. This quickly creates an atmosphere of old world charm. Secluded from neighbors who were closer than they felt, the private beach, instantly calming views, this is a home, not merely a rental. We were on our honeymoon, checking out regions in the Northeast to relocate back to New York. Because of this cabin, despite the popularity of the Finger Lakes, we would live here. Structures on a lake always have their issues with water pressure and it rained and rained til the next to last day. Michael proactively messaged us to inquire about the water pressure was and was out in 30 minutes to change the filters - we didn’t even have to ask! That is truly taking care of guests!

Echo Lake had become a very special trip for my family. We appreciate that the kitchen stuff is as nice as our stuff at home! No internet this time, but we didn't have any trouble using a hot spot. It was great to have a safe vacation during all this. Thanks again, we can't wait to come back

Great place on lake. 20 minutes from. Salmon fishing.

The view is absolutely breathtaking. This is our second year returning to this location and we had such a great time from kayaking, paddle boarding, volleyball, utilizing the outdoor kitchen, having a fire, swimming to docking our boat. Daniel is an amazing host that is very responsive. We are looking forward to returning next year!

This is our second year returning to this townhouse. The location is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. We truly enjoy the volleyball, paddle boards, kayaks, ability to dock our boat and an area for our kiddos to just run free. Daniel is extremely responsive and an amazing host. We are super excited to return again next year!

First trip to Sylvan beach. Ricks place was fantastic. I needed four rooms and kept finding places where had all these makeshift “rooms” that were actually the living room with a pull out couch. Rick’s place was great with 4 actual bedrooms. The place was right on the water and we enjoyed swimming in the lake and hanging out on the huge deck. Rick was more than accommodating when we needed to come in early and stay a little late. Rick gets 5 stars from me and when I’m back in town i will def come back.

We stayed with Daniel & Renata over the 4th of July. It was such a great time. The property is right on the water. We docked our boat there. They had kayaks and a swim platform and a volleyball net set up. We used the grill one night. The fireplace another night. The place was clean and we were all able to fit comfortably. We were even able to check in early. The communication was quick and easy - one night there was rain forecasted and we asked if we could shelter our motorcycle in the game room and within a minute we got a response that it would be ok! Fabulous hosts and a great property. We look forward to coming back in the future!

Better than expected! Very spacious. Great place for a long weekend getaway with our children and grandchildren. Everything was clean, beach was absolutely perfect for the grandchildren. Felt like home, Nice restaurants all within a short drive. Host was extremely helpful and responded within minutes. We'll be back for sure!

Great location right on the beach. Beautiful screened in porch Very relaxing and welcoming.

Lovely place for an inter-generational family reunion. Beautiful setting right on the lake. Cottage comes equipped with everything we needed inside (kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms) as well as many outdoor recreational options (canoes, fishing rods, kids toys, horseshoes, firewood, etc). Host very supportive and responsive. Highly recommend.
