The finger lakes are our families favorite place to visit, so when deciding how to celebrate my 60th birthday, the decision was easy. I have rented the house in the past and it is one of my favorite homes to stay in. It is comfortable, clean and is in the perfect location! Looking forward to returning!

This home was perfect for our week-long stay. There’s plenty of outdoor space (both in and out of the sun) and seating. Furnishings are nice and the home was extremely clean. The kitchen works well for large groups. We would absolutely rent this home again.

We had a wonderful family get together. Even on a rainy day, there were plenty of spaces to accommodate a variety of activities for both adults and toddlers. Our local hosts, Tony and Joette, went out of their way to make this a memorable stay. We appreciated the cleanliness of the place and the quality of the beds, towels, and appliances. This was our second stay and we look forward to our third!

Wonderful! Perfect place for our family to gather from all over the country to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from SU, her birthday, and Mothers Day! Tony was awesome - offered all kinds of help in getting to know what was where, local sites, and even let us use some of his fishing tackle 😁. Beautiful place in a beautiful setting - highly recommend!

Spacious, clean, and well organized are the key takeaways for this property. The host provided a wonderful selection of information about the area and the on-site amenities like the dock and water toys were all well maintained and easy to access. Wonderful views and a quiet neighborhood. Everyone in our group has nothing but good things to say.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home on Owasco Lake. Tony was prompt and available with all communication. The house was cozy and clean. You can’t beat the views of the calm lake. It was the perfect spot to gather with friends and family.

In keeping with a long standing tradition of spending New Year’s Eve on a lake, we spent a long weekend at this beautiful house with gorgeous views of Owasco Lake. Immaculate and very well stocked with quality items ,very comfy beds, and 2 fireplaces. Owner was very communicative and attentive. We look forward to spending a week here in the summer.

This house and property has an amazing view of the lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. We used both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces. The host, Tony, was very accommodating and helpful during our stay. This VRBO is nearby to many wineries, vineyards, Skaneateles and the famous MacKenzie-Childs Farmhouse and visitor center. We look forward to staying here again.

What a gorgeous property! Exceeded our expectations. Sitting at the end of the pier was such a peaceful experience. We had lots of space for everyone to do their own thing and great community space. Very convenient for the theatre, hikes, and restaurants. We will definitely be back again.

This might have been the best appointed VRBO we have ever stayed in. The beds, linens and towels were lovely. The home was wonderfully stocked with things that you just might need. A little gift basket at the door was a sweet and welcome surprise. There was plenty of room for everyone - in both the bedrooms (8 people) and in the main living space. The decks are truly spectacular. We loved this home a lot and have already booked our friends trip again for next fall!

This was our families fifth summer renting on Owasco Lake. Our first time at the Sunset Beach lake home. We took full advantage of all this beautiful home had to offer. Coffee morning views on the upper deck, paddling, floating, swimming, fishing & playing on the beach front most of the day then family dinners on the covered deck and ending our day with a fire and s’mores. The beds were comfortable and the decor inside exactly as pictured on the website. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with accessories; leave your beach towels at home! We hoped to return in 2025 but July was already booked. We’ll try earlier next year!

I've stayed at a number of VRBO's. And many of those were lake houses. This property has to be one of the best. The house is fantastic, The location is fantastic, the deck and dock are fantastic. Tony is very accommodating and very good at communicating. Everything you could possibly need is located in the house or in the garage for your use. Paddleboards, kayaks, life jackets, additional chairs, etc. The outside living space / dining room was a great place to share dinner and breakfast. The awning over the rear deck made the space usable at all times. We will be back.

I was trying to think of a word to describe our stay here last week and amazing just doesn’t cover it. The house is gorgeous inside and out and we had such a wonderful time that we barely left the property! The location is perfect with beautiful sunsets and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. In the description, it gives you a short list of things you should bring and they weren’t kidding! Everything and more is provided! I greatly appreciated that there was just one step into the home for my elderly mother as well as a first floor bedroom for her. The owners were great and answered any questions we had with fast communication. We are already looking at when we can come back to visit. This house is an absolute dream!

My siblings rented four cottages on Lake Owasco for a nephew's wedding and family reunion, and by all accounts this was the best house. Gathering areas inside and out were spacious, modern and comfortable, all with great views. I loved the various places to sit outside, shaded and sunny, but sipping wine at the end of the dock while watching the sunset was simply the best! Special kudos to our hosts: In addition to excellent communication generally, they accommodated a family member with allergies by providing fragrance-free linens and towels, and even stocked special soaps for our use. I also appreciated the artistic touches throughout the home and the lovely welcome basket. Our hosts clearly care about the home and the happiness of their guests. Thank you Tony & Joette!
