About this property

The Canal View Cottage

This cottage is located on a quiet dead end street in the center of Sylvan Beach, with access to the canal at the end of the street. Its walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, beach, casino, amusement park, stores, laundromat and playground. Great town to ride bicycles.

Summertime Fun

We stayed at an up to date and clean house that was in a great walking location to downtown Sylvan Beach. The air conditioners and fans worked great. This was our first VRBO and from the experience I would do it again. I would also stay here again as well.

Erie Canal House

Nice, close to the Canal and lake. And close to different eating establishments. The front entry was difficult to navigate. Open front door and you’re in a bedroom. Both bedrooms quite small bathroom (at this time) has a big wide high tub and shower. Kitchen quite small. Very little storage in house. Parking tight for our big truck. For those with mobility issues this house was a bit of a challenge. Living room very nice. We enjoyed walking along the water and reading the history about the Erie Canal and Lake.

Cute, clean and convenient

Great place for a quick stay, convenient location to beach and nice access to canal. House was as posted, clean and cute place. Layout is a little odd (enter home through a bedroom), but didn’t really bother us. Be very cautious of unlevel ground at home entrance, it’s an ankle breaker! Also, there is basically no yard, especially if you park vehicles at property. Would stay there again for a quick getaway.

Sylvan Beach

The ground in front of the entrance stoop needs to be filled in & leveled. It is an ankle twister for sure. Other than that, everything was as described. Would recommend this camp to vacationers.

Affordable and convenient

Location was great. Walking distance to most anything you want. You enter through one of the bedrooms which was tricky for us with young kids but still a good affordable option. Wish the parking was better & the floors were cleaner but overall it was good & we would stay here again.

Close enough to walk to all the restaurants but far enough away to have some privacy. Updated and very clean! We would definitely stay here again.

Cute cottage in perfect location

Cottage was as advertised and as shown in the photos. Consumable supplies like paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, etc. as well as wash cloths and bath towels were provided in generous amounts. Beds were very comfortable. Location was ideal - walkable to the canal, beach, amusement park, casino and downtown area. Only area that we felt could use some attention was the entrance into the cottage. The distance that you have to step up was a little bit awkward for one of our group that has issues with their knees. Its not terrible and won't be an issue for most everyone.
