Family get away

The property was clean, fully stocked, and perfect for a weekend away with our kiddos. The beds were super comfortable, the hosts supplied baby gates to help contain the toddler and provided recommendations of places to visit. We cannot wait to visit again

Sylvan beach house

Lots of beds. Super comfortable. Stairs are a bit steep if you have older people with you. We spent most of our time at turning stone resort. An easy drive from the house.

Perfect Beach House

We stayed with family (10 in total) over Memorial day weekend at the Blue Heron in Sylvan Beach, NY. The house was very clean, fully stocked and had plenty of sleeping options for everyone. The owner has done a nice job with this house - it's nice looking, very well thought out, comfortable and really exceeded our expectations. The owner/property manager were very welcoming and very easy to work with. The property itself is tucked away off of the main drag but within walking distance to the beach, park, amusements, restaurants and shops. The outside of the house is fenced in with a grill, fire pit and plenty of seating where we spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful weather, talking with friendly passerbyers and telling lies by the fire pit in the evenings. We highly recommend this place and would absolutely go back!

Family wedding stay

We were in the area for a wedding. The house was beautiful. It was very clean! It was roomy and comfortable. The check in and check out process was very easy. It was within walking distance to the town, the state park, walking trails and the lake. Highly recommend!

A must!

This place is a fantastic place to get away. I appreciated that the house was sparkling clean and modern. It felt better than a home away from home. It felt more like hotel living vs staying in “someone else's home.” Our family LOVED it. We do plan on returning. Below is a list of the PROs and CONs. (Keep in mind that the pros are a bit nit-picky, but I decided to comment on it here so give a full honest review.) PROs: - LOCATION. It is within walking distance of the beach. - The beds and linens were VERY comfortable. - Generous sized rooms. - All of the TVs had streaming capability. - Wonderful outdoor space. Comfortable outdoor furniture. Wonderful fire pit. CONs: -The stairs are shallower and steeper than regulation stairs. - We had access to the garage, but the garage was packed full where we couldn’t fit our stroller in there. - Dishware is sub-par. A lot if mix and max pots, pans, utensils etc. (This is big for me because I do not like to eat out. I prefer cooking at home so I can eat healthy and save money.) - Limited cleaning tools available, I could only find a vacuum. Even while on vacation I like to keep things neat and tidy. I could only find a vacuum stuffed in the garage that looked and worked like it was at the end of its life.

Cozy place, feels like home

We booked this place so we could bring our dog with us on a casino trip. The house was clean, decorated nicely, and very comfy. There were only two of us but the house is laid our perfectly for a larger group. The kitchen was stocked with all appliances, plates and utensils. Pretty much anything you need is there! There was even a drink chiller fridge. The house is walking distance from the beach and a very short drive from Verona State Park which was a perfect place to take the dog on a long walk. We’d definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Vacafund Front Desk

Host profile image
Over the last several years we have worked diligently to perfect the experience of short term vacation rentals for our guests. The reality is that not all vacation homes are created equal and not all management of these homes are handled the same way. There are many properties out there for you to choose from and we are honored you have browsed one of our locations. Our #1 goal is to make our guests want to return for another vacation and leave them feeling satisfied they had an amazing and memorable experience. I want you to know that my team and I are at your service and strive to give you an unforgettable vacation stay! Even though personally I may be afar I have an incredible and experienced team of several managers just moments away. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us about anything at all (even special requests, reservations or pets) and we will be there to assist in anyway possible.

Why they chose this property

Blue Heron is a perfect family or larger group experience to get away from it all. The property is located right next to Verona Beach State Park, seconds from the shores of Oneida Lake and minutes from downtown Sylvan Beach. This property exceeds expectations in that it was recently remodeled top to bottom less than 2 years ago with all new furniture, appliances, beds, linens and outdoor lighted area with new upgrades implemented frequently. The newly installed fire-pit with 4 Adirondack chairs is a major upgrade for you and your guests to enjoy the beautiful yard!!

What makes this property unique

Blue Heron was our first property in the area and we have made sure it will not disappoint for all future guests. We have made several changes to the inside and outside to make the home unforgettable. This property is large and will accommodate families of all sizes. The sleeping arrangements are comfortable with several different options on both the first and second floor for you to choose from. The property feels very homey once you step in the front door and we hope you have the chance to experience it for yourself! Please let us know if you have any questions regarding Blue Heron and we look forward to hosting you soon!
