Nice stay on top floor at Sylvan Beach

We had a nice stay at the top floor unit. Condo was clean, exactly as pictured. Beds very comfortable. Main room is very nice, big dining table, large comfy couch and tv, kitchen was decently stocked for a rental. Beautiful glass sliding doors out to a private deck with patio table umbrella and grill. It's a 3 floor walk down to the beach, but this was perfect for us as we are more "look at the water" people anyway. Wifi was slow although it's possible it was having issues due to the storm we had that week. Communications with the property manager were very good, responsive.

Property is in a great location. Very few towels in both bathrooms. Back deck has a board that is dangerously loose, please fix it asap about 3-4 feet to the right of the grill. Price was a little on the high end for needing to walk up to the third floor. Carpets looked dirty when we got there, fridge was spacious. Great living room space with a comfy couch. Welcoming open atmosphere made a great space for cards and conversation. Would likely stay again.

Memorial Day weekend

Great location and views. Surprised to find 5 units in this space with each unit going through the same front door which was always left unlocked or even open at times. Common space laundry room, stairs and hallways in needs some TLC. Handrails on stair cases not reaching the top of the upper stair case and non existent for steps into first floor. Comfortable beds, nice great room with beautiful views of lake. Kitchen needs some more cooking pots and pans.

Expansive Lakefront Luxury

As Sylvan Beach’s self proclaimed biggest fan, I can easily say that this is hands down the most beautiful property we’ve stayed at. The lake views are breathtaking, both inside and out. The property is beautifully appointed. You do not need to bring your own linens for beds or towels/toiletries for the shower. The host provides everything you need. The decor is modern, tasteful, and simplistic! Two full baths and a washer dryer in unit were wonderful. The outdoor fire pit on the deck that is into for this unit only was a nice addition. The outdoor space on the first level with hot tubs and a gazebo is like nothing else on the lake. Brand new outdoor showers were installed shortly after we arrived and are great for rinsing the sand off prior to using the jacuzzis. We were lucky to have the property mostly to ourselves for the long weekend. The parking is plentiful and directly in front of the unit. Hosts were extremely responsive and friendly. We will definitely be back and would love to rent the entire property with friends in the future! The only negative is that all other sylvan properties will not compare in the future!

Excellent Sylvan Beach Penthouse

Our stay in the Penthouse at Sylvan Beach was EXCELLENT!! The property was even better than we expected. The openness of the 3rd floor allowed us to be together but not on top of each other. The couch was comfy, TV was great, table fit us all, and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed. The bedrooms were large, except for the room with 2 beds, but even that had enough room to maneuver. The beds were very comfortable. The host left us dishwasher and laundry soap, both bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner and body soaps in pump-bottles in the showers, dish soap, towels for all needs, garbage bags, a spice rack, and other spices in the cupboard. We enjoyed using the grill on the patio and eating with a view. The views from the 3rd floor were spectacular and made up for having to climb the stairs lol. We even watched windsurfing on the windy day. There were people in other units during our stay but we barely heard them or knew they were there. With 2 hot tubs, being outside at the same time was not an issue. It was during the fall, so most of the attractions were closed, but we appreciated the slower pace while walking around and seeing the area. The host was great with communication and very responsive. I hope to be able to go back in the future and would highly recommend this property and host!

The place was nice and spacious which was nice, having it right on the beach was cool. There were a few minor things 1-the fridge was not level so the door didnt want to close very easy and when open drawers would just slide open 2-the sliding glass doors to balcony were very tough to open and close. 3-the hot tubs had not been cleaned and had a decent amount of sand in them. 4- there was miss communication about there being a guest book and parking passes in the room. Which the owner did get back to me the next morning saying it wasnt needed at this time but kinda scary to worry if my car would be towed over night. Would have been nice to have more than 1 tv in the house but it worked for us at the time. Over all the stay was not bad at all we would go back again.
