The house is beautiful, spacious, comfy, and cozy. The indoor and outdoor fireplaces were both terrific. The lakefront beach and deck were also incredible and the sunset over the lake is breathtaking. I’d highly recommend this house.

A wonderful home, perfect for being with my family, A spacious and immaculate house inside and out. We loved being able to use the deck at the end of October. And watching the setting sun over the lake was a great way to finish the day. It was also reassuring to know that if the weather didn’t cooperate, we still had plenty of room inside. Our host was very communicative and quick to reply. My family was so impressed, we have already scheduled our stay for next year.

A Beautiful Lake House with Breathtaking Views!My husband and I visited Niagara Falls and decided to include the beautiful Finger Lakes region as part of our trip. We were absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to stay at Sunset Beach Lake House!The house was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and welcoming, but the real highlight was the breathtaking lake view. We loved spending time outdoors by the fireplace and especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of having firewood provided.Since it was just the two of us, we only used the downstairs portion of the home, which was perfect for our needs. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, making for restful nights after our days of exploring.We actually chose to prepare all our meals at the house because we enjoyed the peaceful setting and gorgeous views so much that we didn't want to leave! The indoor gas fireplace was another wonderful feature that made the house feel especially warm and cozy.Sunset Beach Lake House was such a lovely part of our vacation. It was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and take in the beauty of the Finger Lakes. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return!

The area was very nice, close to stores and restaurants . The property is very high above the shore. There are about 4-5 flights of stairs to go up and down from the water. If you have older people in your party is something to think about. The house has a fully stocked kitchen. The rental had been filled all summer and it’s starting to show. It really should be taken off of the market for a week or two for a deep clean, including a grill clean. The property also needs some serious landscaping work done. Lots of overgrown shrubs and bushes. There are also a lot of wasps to contend with. I believe our host lives next door and recognized this, he sent a pest company over to try to take care of the problem. It helped a little. The potential for this property is endless. The lake is absolutely beautiful, but we paid way over the premium for this level home.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately there are many inaccuracies in your feedback. Our property is thoroughly cleaned and landscaped each week as indicated in reviews received all summer and those after your stay. Additionally the comment about pricing is incorrect. Our property is competitive with the local market for the size and amenities offered. Bees are a seasonal issue for all properties in this area and we had our pest control service come immediately and multiple times to address the issue. We always promptly address issues raised by our guests.
