Departure Cleaning
-All departure cleans will be by a professional housekeeper.
-The housekeeping team will have received thorough education and training in enhanced cleaning techniques due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
-CDC approved cleaning agents will be used throughout paying extra attention to high contact, hard surfaces (door knobs, counters etc) as well as sanitizing safely soft surfaces.
-Glasses and silverware will be removed from drawers and cabinets and sanitized in the dishwasher. For hygienic reasons, these items will be left sanitized and clean in the dishwasher for the rental guest’s or homeowner’s arrival. If time permits, housekeepers will, while wearing clean gloves, carefully place these items in the proper cabinet or drawer.

Lovely

We enjoyed our stay. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The view was not what I expected when staying on the water, but perhaps that was my expectation. It looked over a small water way, with a run down house just across the water with trash (old tires and furniture on the lawn). We just chose to look to the left instead of straight across. It was right before the start of the season so they were prepping the boat slips which was fun to watch. We enjoyed the town and liked that it was close by.

Weekend getaway to reset

Mother & daughter get away this past weekend was fabulous. If this isn't the cleanest property I have ever stayed at, it has to be an extremely close second. The owner has obviously taken great care to ensure occupants are comfortable and feel at home. Tastefullly decorated, comfortable beds, everything you need in a kitchen - which is super clean! 2 bathrooms - again super clean. The upstairs bathroom is smaller and while the property can accommodate 6 people, 2 of those 6 should be children. The bedroom downstairs and loft area upstairs are comfortable for adults. The third bedroom area is suited for younger children. This was a last minute rental and I cannot say enough about how pleasant an experience I had with the owner. Responsive, answered all my questions - just a pleasure to interact with. Location is good - a leisurely 10 minute walk to town. Sunset park with some ice cream that you pick up on the way was beautiful. And of course the kayaks being available right downstairs - we took advantage of each day. Wonderful experience!

Best Boathouse location!

So happy we chose this rental. We brought our own boat from VA. The marina is literally next door, opposite canal side from row of boathouse. The elevator/lift made bringing in luggage a breeze- carts available too. Close walk to town and on quiet street. Super comfortable furnishings, clean and fresh rooms towels linens, nautical touches throughout you really feel immersed in ‘The River’ life. The river and area cannot be justly described, it’s truly stunning. Hopefully you bring a boat, if not, a boat tour is a must to fully appreciate The 1000 islands. Boldt Castle was a worthy visit and this location could not be any easier to boat over and dock at castle or restaurants if you prefer float over feet! The men came to fish for smallmouth bass. The river is crystal clear; you can see bottom even at 25 ft deep, and it’s quite a sight to see the catch. There were always pretty little blue tail baitfish by the boathouse too. Geese, loons, heron, ducks, kayaking or lounging in balcony deck plenty of wildlife to admire. I did plenty of shopping in town, unplanned but couldn’t pass unique items for birthdays showers Christmas gifts. There’s much more than just touristy tee shirts. The museum is bigger than it appears and the staff are longtime locals, friendly and fun to hear interesting detail how the opulent life arrived in the islands. A week wasn’t enough time. We will be back and this rental is where we would choose again and again !

Quick get away with the boat

The property was overall great and close to many things via boat or car. It was also especially nice that the launch was across the marina with trailer parking which made the entire process easy. We went most places by boat despite it being a little cloudy a few days. Laura was an amazing host and checked in on us throughout the stay to see if we needed anything via txt. Great property for the 4 of us (3 teen age kids 1 adult)

Great stay

We really enjoyed staying at this property, it was comfortable, clean, everything worked, great location, and great communication with the property owner. The boat house was a really nice feature, we brought our boat for fishing and exploring the islands. Alexandria Bay was a great little town with plenty of places to eat and the people were friendly. We would definitely highly recommend this place if you are going to the thousand islands area.

Extremely expensive

For the price of this place I expected to have toilet paper and soap in both bathrooms. There was about a tablespoon of laundry soap that was obviously watered down and enough for one load. The four remotes that were there were confusing to say the least and after trying for a half hour, gave up watching any TV. The dishes, pots and pans were all mismatched and appeared to be garage sale quality. The propane grill was completely rusted to the point where we cooked hamburgers inside on the stove.

Excellent Property right in Alex Bay!

This was my second time returning to this property and fourth time in the 1000 Islands. I always try and book this Villa if possible. I love being able to bring our boat and have it right at our house, as well as the option to walk to town. You are extremely close to Boldt Castle. The house is always clean and Lauren, the property owner is very responsive and responds quickly. From booking questions, wifi passwords, things to do, anything you may need during your stay she is always there to help.

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Wilson

Host profile image
I am active duty Navy, and my husband is active duty Marine Corps. We have had a very adventurous 7 years so far in the military and have loved every minute of it. We are currently stationed in Norfolk, Virginia.

Why they chose this property

I am originally from Syracuse, New York, which is located just over an hour and a half from Alexandria Bay. My family would come up to the Thousand Islands to take advantage of the incredible scenery, boating, and fishing. Day trips to Canada were also a favorite of my family. I knew that I always wanted a property located in this quant boating town. "A-Bay Get-A-Way" was the perfect fit. It is right on the water and is the "best of both worlds"...it's away from the noise and traffic of downtown, while still walking distance when you want to be a part of the vibrant downtown scene.

What makes this property unique

The boathouse is so convenient and such a wonderful amenity, allowing easy access to the St. Lawrence River.
