Was such an amazing stay! Great location to a quiet beach. So much space in the home, & had so many different games & activities available for the rainy day. Host was so sweet & was such an amazing experience. Would 100% book again.
Great location. Walking distance to the beach. House is spacious and easily slept 4 couples (8 adults) and one child. Well stocked and many amenities. Everything we needed for a weekend beach getaway. Would stay here again!
2 year back and can’t wait to return. House is perfect - spacious, squeaky clean and stocked with everything you need and more. Perfect location - feels like you got your own private beach and use of their paddle boards too! Owners are amazing! Communication is on point and they even left a basket of treats and coupons to local activities for us to enjoy. See you next year!
From start to finish the communication was on point. From a welcome basket with treats to everything two families could possibly need and more. Spacious and squeaky clean! Paddle boards are a huge bonus too! Both families really enjoyed our little getaway and will be back next year for sure!
Thanks so much for having us! See you next summer!
Exceptionally Clean, great location, everything a family needs
This gorgeous home is the perfect family/ friend getaway with everything you need. The home was exceptionally cleaned and exceptionally maintained. I have stayed at plenty of short term rentals all over the world and this one is fantastic. Everything in the ad is accurate. 4 spacious bedrooms. Plenty of seating and cabinets are full of everything you need for cooking. Plenty of towels for your stay including beach towels. I cannot say enough about Carolyn and her husband. They were fantastic hosts and their home is beautiful. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We will definitely book again.

Such a wonderful stay and an excellent host! Thank you for having us!
From start to finish, our stay was epic! The home is large yet comfortable and fitted out with everything you would want. So nice to have access to beach gear, especially with the beach so close. Carolyn was a pleasure to work with, attentive and responsive. This will be our go-to place, the next time with visit Sylvan Lake!
