We had a wonderful time at this lake house. The view of the water and the back deck right on the sand were just what we were looking for. Some provided beach chairs and sand toys were a great addition and got a lot of use by us and our kids. The location to Sea Breeze was a bonus as well. We would stay again!
The house inside was ok / except I read previous reviews about a mouse and he was still there! The house needs a good deep, clean inside and out. The house smelled musty - bought some air fresheners. I took a shower curtain to put on the sliding doors - worked well. The upstairs got a little stuffy at night - glad we took fans! No ceiling fans in house.
The location was great! Right on the water!
I want to start by saying that I have used VRBO countless times and this is the first time I walked into a place and became completely disappointed. The pictures of the house must be from 10yrs ago. There is a squirrel living in the roof above the front door. The deck back is falling apart. The beautiful fire ring we were expecting to use was completely filled in with sand. There was trash on the back deck. The garbage on the back deck was full. The couch is falling apart. Itâs like sitting on the floor. No batteries in the remotes. ( I was told to get some and I would be reimbursed.) It said to bring beach towels but there were no towels at all. Well there was but we didnât find them until our 4th day when we went to do a load of laundry and they were all in the dryer. The one bedroom upstairs has water damage around the window and Iâm pretty sure black mold. The A/C compressor is half way covered in sand and barely worked. Chairs for outside were buried in sand and a couple were even melted. I really donât think this place was even looked at since last season. Do yourself a favor and do not book. If you did please ask for a refund. I did hear back about the batteries but when I messaged about the other issues I was ghosted. Not even Iâm sorry or anything. If we didnât have other plans for the week that were already paid for we would have left the day we showed up and asked for a full refund. Will never return to this place or book with this owner again.
We never checked in when we arrived the place was not cleaned, there were no beds made, no linens to sleep, the floors were covered in sand, refrigerator was filthy, bathrooms disgusting. we had to get a hotel room and have asked for a refund as which the host has not replied to 4 of my emails requesting. We are now going to proceed with our credit card company and VRBO for full refund. I have photos but will not let me upload
I love staying here each year. It is all about the location. Sandy beach right off the deck. A nice stretch to walk and find sea glass. We come prepared with raincoats and boots so we can walk rain or shine each day. While one side of the house faces Lake Ontario, the other end has a bright room with views of the Bay. It is not fancy but cozy and tastefully decorated. Close to stores and restaurants. Perfect for our family.
