About this property
Sunset Sanctuary: "Picture Perfect Sunsets on Canandaigua Lake!"
Sunset Sanctuary is a cozy, updated bungalow perched on the east side of Canandaigua Lake, offering breathtaking water views and a peaceful escape from everyday life. Nestled on a quiet, private road, this home blends the serenity of lakefront living with easy access to downtown Canandaigua, local wineries, and charming Finger Lakes attractions. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a spot to gather with family and friends, this home has everything you need.
Step inside and you're greeted by a bright three-season room, the perfect spot for morning coffee, an afternoon nap, or simply enjoying the gentle lake breezes. The open-concept main living space combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas, allowing everyone to cook, eat, and unwind together while taking in panoramic lake views through wall-to-wall windows. The kitchen features white cabinetry, dark granite countertops, an oversized island, and modern appliances, making meal prep a breeze. The dining area overlooks the lake and opens directly onto the lakeside patio for effortless indoor-outdoor living.
The living room is designed for comfort, with plush furniture and a decorative fireplace, creating a welcoming spot to relax after a day of exploring. The primary bedroom offers a king-size bed and an en suite bath, while the second bedroom features a queen bed. A queen sleeper sofa in the living area and a futon in the three-season room provide extra sleeping space for families or small groups. Two full bathrooms ensure convenience for all guests.
Outside, the lakeside patio is ideal for dining al fresco or sipping a glass of wine while watching the sun set over the water. A private dock and boat lift make it easy to enjoy swimming, fishing, or simply relaxing by the lake. The gentle slope to the water ensures safe access for all ages, and the hot tub offers the perfect way to unwind after a day on the lake or exploring nearby attractions.
Sunset Sanctuary is just minutes from downtown Canandaigua, where you can visit local breweries like Young Lion and Twisted Rail, stroll along Kershaw Park, or enjoy dining at New York Kitchen or Nolan's. Boutique shops and charming cafés make exploring the area fun for the whole family.
Whether you're soaking up the sun on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub, or enjoying a quiet evening by the water, Sunset Sanctuary captures the best of Finger Lakes lakefront living. This is a place where you can relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories with those you love.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the lakefront location and had a good stay overall. We hope to welcome you back for another Finger Lakes getaway in the future!
The home was really nicely presented. The windows provide the most wonderful view of the lake. The indoor fireplace was most welcome and the hot tub by the lake edge a real treat.

Great little cabin on the lake. My children fished all day off the pier. Plenty of water activity items provided, clean, great communication; 5 stars every day of the week!

Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again soon.
We had an amazing week here. The house, property and sunsets were perfect. The house is a great size for 4-6 people, easy to keep organized and clean and steps away from the water. The area was quiet. We will rent next year!

Thank you very much for taking the time to rate us 5/5 stars! We are so happy to hear you had such a wonderful time. We look forward to seeing you next summer!
We enjoyed staying lakeside and appreciated the hot tub and kayaks. We were a little disappointed in finding the property to not be the cleanest and actually had to vacuum upon arrival. The air conditioners actually DO NOT work. This was not a big issue for us as the weather was cooler, but would have been disappointing if the temps were above 80. The screen door going into the house had a broken closer, which we simply removed. The back screen is also not working correctly and was difficult to open/close. All in all we enjoyed our stay!
We had a wonderful stay here! The view is spectacular and worth every penny. We slept 4 adults and it was very comfortable. There is a pullout couch and futon for additional sleeping but can’t speak to how comfortable they are. The kitchen had most anything we needed as far as utensils and cookware went. We had a 3 year old child who visited for the day and I could say the location would not be great for a child any younger. There was a drop off, stairs down to the lake, and not a large area to walk into the water. The lake is very rocky so highly recommend water shoes. Hopefully these are helpful notes - we loved our time here and would stay again.

Very pleasant stay, nice accomodations. Kitchen, living space very comfortable. Some suggestions: 1) 2nd bedroom/bath needs more attention. BR needs hooks, very little counterspace for toiletries. Night light needed. 2) Bedroom: no counter space, some in closet but held a lot of board games 2) double outlet installed above heater, lamp cord was touching baseboard heater, cord was hot. This is a fire hazard. I draped the cord over a nearby trash can to avoid contact. In sum, the second bedroom/bath was a bit of an afterthought. Thank you.

Cottage is located perfectly for trips into Canandaigua and winery touring. Deck and dock were perfect for coffee on the cool mornings.
Clean well appointed and comfortable. Check in and check out was a breeze.

Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again soon.
This house is the perfect getaway for a relaxing weekend. The inside was very cozy and the yard was the best part. It had a nice hot tub over looking the water. Nice area to eat breakfast outdoors and take in the views. House was also close to town.
I would definitely rent again if in the area.

This small cottage overlooks the water from the living room and the dining room. The views of the lake are beautiful. The furniture and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. It was the perfect place for a long weekend. Our only issue with the house was the internet and TV. Neither were working when we arrived. It took several phone calls to the management company to get the situation resolved and that is the reason for the 4 stars. Otherwise I would have given them 5 stars. That said, we would rent this listing again. The location was perfect.
