Perfect vacation getaway

Thank you Mia for a wonderful little spot for a safe vacation getaway. Everything was clean and easy to find. Just steps from the sand. Kids loved our little spot on the beach. All ages from 5 to 46 had a great time. Everything was in walking distance and everyone was so nice. Definitely will come again.

Cozy Getaway

Beautiful property, just like the listing. My only complaint would be the difficulty in finding where to park and where the property was. Its BEHIND the purple cottages and we did not realize this for about 30 minutes. Would stay again!

To have no pillows or towels is unacceptable. Traveling from Texas, brought our own sheets. Had to buy toilet paper. Not inviting, dust bunnies under beds, shower leaked. Location was perfect but will not stay again.

Sylvan Beach is beautiful

I loved the stay at Sylvan beach. We paid way too much for the property the beds were very uncomfortable and sunk in the middle. Then we were accused of urinating in the main bedroom which never happened and for a fight that wasn’t us it was people we knew but they weren’t invited up. So the property manager is trying to charge us an extra 200 after we already paid a cleaning fee with the property for some urine she says that ran under the bed. It’s lies so be careful when you rent this and take pictures when you leave because I cleaned the place out and still was accused of this.

Great Location

“Quaint little village of attached cottages. “ The unit was just as discribed. Pictures are accurate. My negativity with this property was the outdoor stairwell and windows were covered with cobwebs and spiders. My granddaughter’s were “freaked out” by this. The outdoor furniture also had spider webs. These should have been cleaned/removed before our arrival. I had to pay a $50 upfront cleaning fee. Since most of the cottage units are attached, you really can here the other guests. The sign said no pets, yet there were people staying with their dogs who really liked to bark! We were in the upper unit and the people in the lower unit had free access to the grill and picnic table. So we were not able to access this, as it states in the description. All and all, my granddaughters enjoyed the beach and amusement park.

Close to the lake and beach

Stayed here with my two teenage daughters. Cute little place! Close to the beach and lake. Comfortable and quiet. We loved the vintage amusement park, it’s literally a couple blocks away!
