About this property
A Waterfront Treasure
This little cottage is ideal for those who want a romantic retreat, creative get away, wellness stay or just some rest & relaxation.
Here's what I find to be the best features of the property. First, it's a humble cottage that you will find offers all of the conveniences of home. Fully stocked kitchen, washer & dryer, Weber grill on the back deck, you have a large screen TV for those evenings that you may want to recoup from water and sun. Kayaks, an additional deck over the water for dining and so much more that would have to be experienced personally to fully understand.
The location is on 29th Avenue which if you are familiar with Sylvan beach most of the Restaurant and Entertainment is centrally located around Main Street, 13th - 15th Ave. It's a short drive and or walk into town but the beautiful part is that you are nestled away from the busy section and can fully take in the amazing sunsets while relaxing at the quiet end of the Beach.
The cottage is truly single floor living with a very large yard space. The Sunroom features a pull out sofa for two, which offers a sliding glass door for fantastic view and a cool breeze off the lake for a perfect nights sleep, while listening to the waves roll in.
Off of the kitchen is one 1/2 bath and the Master bedroom which has a queen bed w/ ensuite bathroom. There is a small upstairs space which has a twin bed at the top of the stairs as well as a trundle bed to the far front of the house.
The ideal renter would be most interested in privacy, looking to fully enjoy outdoor living in what we consider to be a prime location within the beach.

The house and property were perfect for quiet getaway. A short walk or drive to the beach, casino, amusement park or your choice or restaurants. We would definitely consider renting it again.
Great location. Waterfront Treasure was very relaxing. Unfortunately it rained for most of our trip so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space but it was amazing.
Hi Louise,
Thank you for choosing the cottage as your getaway during your reunion. I hope that you had a wonderful visit with your forever friends. All my best and keep the cottage in mind for your next reunion :)
Cute cottage right on the water. Host included so many extra items such as kayaks, inflated lake tubes, paddle board, life jackets and so many other special touches to make our months stay so enjoyable.

I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful stay. Thank you for adding the cottage into your Family memories. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Our best wishes to you and your family, always.
My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend here during September. It was so peaceful, quiet and beautiful. The deck by the water is perfectly shaded to enjoy warm afternoons. We walked into town, took about 15 minutes, but otherwise enjoyed the sunroom, outdoor patio and deck. Great location and the host has literally thought of every detail to make this a comfortable stay. We will be back!
We absolutely loved this wonderful cottage and it’s quiet location. We can’t wait to come back!

Jill, thank you and I am thrilled that the weather was as perfect as you stated as well. All my best to you and your Mother in law.
Have a wonderful rest of the summer and thank you for making the cottage part of a life time memory.
Had a very relaxing long weekend on the lake. The property location was perfect for a quiet holiday with only a short drive (or 20 min walk) to bars, restaurants and amusements. Robin was the perfect host! The sunsets were magical!
My fiancee and I booked this property as a quick weekend getaway and did not disappoint! The cottage is right on the lake, far enough away from the main area to be quiet, but close enough to everything in town! The sunsets were amazing! The property had everything we needed! We will definitely be going back next summer!

Wonderful house,amazing views,relaxing few days away from it all. Excellent communication with host and lovely gesture of food items on arrival. Being from the UK we came across Oneida Lake by chance but will be telling our friends what a beautiful spot it is.

Kevib,
Thank you! It was a pleasure to have you stay at the cottage. We truly appreciate your feedback. It means the world that people enjoy it as much as we do.
Have a wonderful rest of the summer.
All my best,
Robin
Choose this location because we took my mother in law back to this area where she grew up and for her siblings and nieces to visit with us. Out side decking by lake was perfect for this. Did day trip to Niagara Falls, 3 hour drive each way, which was nice.

Thank you Mark and Family for making the cottage part of your Mother’s special time. I so happy for all of you to have enjoyed that reminiscing together. Wonderful memories for all I am sure. Truly appreciate your share, have a wonderful summer and thank you.
Just what we needed for a extended weekend get away. Thank you Robin for opening up your place for us. You did forget to mention all the wonderful birds we could watch on the lake. We loved watching the Bald Eagle fly by a few mornings and the Belted Kingfishers fishing daily. We had a wonderful time and look forward to staying again and kayaking in the spring.

You saw the Eagle! Fantastic, the Eagle has been a regular visitor this season and such a spectacular sight! So glad that you enjoyed your getaway and that you took in the beauty of the lake and all of its surroundings.
I will look forward to seeing you in the spring, have a healthy fall & winter friends.
My Best & Thank you,
Property is very nice right on the lake .
The only little issue I had that I couldn’t bring the boat close to the shore because the water is very shallow, but I guess is good for family with small kids .
All around beautiful place to stay ,updated interior, very clean !Comfortable sleeping arrangements and plenty of kitchen supplies . Deck on the water was used daily , plenty of space for out door and indoor games . Hopefully we will have a chance to return to this little Oasis . Norm and Family

Thank you Debra,
Looking forward to your return and Happy Anniversary!!!!!
My mother and I took a girls trip back home for a few days and being someone who grew up in sylvan beach I would highly recommend this place. It’s very close to all the bars and fun stuff but far enough away to enjoy the peace of the lake. Our absolute favorite part was the dock and table right on the lake. We spent most of our time there enjoying meals and the sunsets. Robin was so easy to communicate with and had everything you could need in the house. This will be the place we stay at whenever we visit our hometown in the future!

About the host
Hosted by Robin Cortese
Hi! Thanks for considering the cottage. This photo was taken on the lake, I'm Robin the one on the right. The little one on my left is a long time friend, Angi who’s Husband and sons enjoy this cottage from time to time as well.
As soon as I set foot on the property years ago, I knew it was a special place. It's my home away from home which I hope you will enjoy as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
This is one of my all time favorite spots. Oneida Lake can be like a Ocean, the storms rolling in are incredible to watch just as the beautiful sunsets. It's truly a serene spot with respectful neighbors that appreciate the peace of this end of the Lake as much as we do.
My hobby is painting and sketching, I find my best work is done here. Additionally the space is ideal for entertaining as the outdoor area has a larger yard with a secondary deck over the water. My friends love to come here to just unwind after a long week and relax with dinner and cocktails water side.
If you are in search of a bit more of a laid back environment, which is outside of the town itself then this could be the perfect setting for your ideal getaway.
What makes this property unique
Solitude, Waterfront, 2 mins from the center of town and walking distance to all dining, arcade etc. Shallow sand bottom waterfront, with stairs into the water to the left of the property.
