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.

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.

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!

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.
