We rented 3 houses in the neighborhood and this house served as a headquarters for our family reunion at Sodus Point. The view, the porch, the fire pit, the large kitchen, dining area, and large gathering spaces made it a perfect place for 5 families to get together each day for dinner. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. The owners were very responsive to a problem that emerged the night before check out.
Home was even better than the pics! The views from the property can be seen by sitting on the porch or in the home through all the windows. Can’t wait to come back and be able to just sit all day on the porch!
Charming lake house with tons of character and beautiful views and sunsets! Lots of extras and personal touches, hosts were great to work with...we'll def be back!!
This place is absolutely beautiful and well stocked the owners are incredibly responsive I highly recommend this place the sunsets are spectacular and the view is perfect
We had an amazing stay in Sodus Point. The views and house were even better than the pictures and hosts were some of the best I’ve ever had. They were extremely responsive and even left some personal touches for us. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Thanks so much for your kind review, Joel. We enjoyed hosting you and welcome you back anytime.
The home is a real find, on a bluff overlooking Lake Ontario. Old cottage feel with modern amenities, including gas and wood exterior fire pits. Ten minute walk to a beautiful lakeside town with nice shops and restaurants. A local resident even gave us firewood from their home when the store was out. Definitely recommend Dan and Jeanine’s home for a fantastic vacation.
Beautiful house in a beautiful location with an amazing view of Lake Ontario. House is fully stocked with everything you can possibly need. Great communication with hosts.

Thank you Herold. It was a pleasure hosting your family. You’re welcome back anytime.
Everything went very smoothly, no hassles. Beautiful view from porch. Well provisioned and very comfortable. Nice location, but limited beach access… no swimming nearby.

Thanks so much for staying with us and for taking the time to review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the house and views! Although we don’t recommend swimming at our beach, (as stated in the listing), we are within walking distance or a very short car ride, to the public beach with lots of swimming access and free parking there is a bonus:) We enjoyed hosting you and welcome you back anytime.
The house was very good for us. It had almost everything we needed to stay comfortable. The view of the lake from inside and outside both were great. Access to the lake shore was an added benefit. There was ample grass covered ground and it was good for children to run around. We enjoyed our stay.
Lovely location and downstairs. Convenient to sights and eats. Little treasures in house left by owners. Great view of the lake and the critters. Clover, the groundhog was there every day to eat and stare at us.

Thank you, Anne for giving us the chance to host you. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and welcome you back any time.
We had 10 family members staying for the 4th of July weekend. This house was just perfect for us! The house was clean, has charm and is well appointed. The yard was perfect for the kids and for family to play. The house is located in walking distance to town but offers privacy. We loved walking down to swim in the lake. Owners were very understanding and helpful.

Thank you Laura. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back and stay with us again anytime.
This house was exactly what we were looking for in a weekend getaway. It's gorgeously decorated and the location can't be beat. The owners have thought of everything--the kitchen is incredibly well stocked, the bathrooms have extras of just about anything you might forget, and the little touches (the welcome board, snacks, etc.) made it even more special. Communication with the owners was wonderful. This house will easily sleep 10 people, but also didn't feel like too much for just the 2 of us. We loved it!

Thank you so much Megan. We truly enjoy hosting guests and you were a top notch guest! Thank you for taking such good care of our home. We would love to host you again, should you ever return to the area. Hopefully, the weather will be better!
We were already in love with the Sodus Bay Area before we arrived and the moment we walked through the door of our vacation home and saw our personal welcome sign to greet us made us feel right at home! This home was immaculate and set up for everything we might possibly need. Our hosts were so kind and helpful. We definitely want to come here again soon! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Clara. You were the perfect guests and we so enjoyed hosting you! We look forward to hosting you again soon😊
Best of Both was a cozy cottage with phenomenal views! The place was clean and pleasureful; stocked with conveniences, games, kitchenware, and bedding to provide for a great stay. The cottage isn’t large, but with 10 people, everyone was comfortable and happy. We prepared all of our meals in the kitchen with ease, the only preferred improvement would be dinnerware and silverware sets adequate for bigger groups. The hosts provided a seamless process for booking and information, and always responded within an hour. All the great reviews confirm that you can’t go wrong with this great place!
