About this property

The House near Sylvan Beach

The best of both worlds!! 200 yards from town and 100 feet to beach. Come and enjoy all that is offered in Sylvan Beach from restaurants, to concerts, an old time amusement park, and the beautiful beaches. This is a 4 bedroom 1 and a half bath house with two beautiful porches. It is far enough out of town to be quieter with its own beach or you can be in the middle of all the action and return back for some peace and quiet. The water and all it s activities are right at your doorstep.

Another wonderful stay at this house! This was our second year in a row, and we loved it just as much as the first. The location is perfect, especially being so close to the water. Having the whole family (including our dog) able to enjoy the vacation together makes such a difference. We will definitely stay here again!

Excellent Cottage

The property was exceptionally clean. Our family of 5 had no problem finding a sleeping location and had plenty of area to spread out then not at the beach. The beach is about a minute walk from the back door in an area that was quiet the entire week, including the 4th of July. Plenty of amenities were included that made our stay that much easier. We highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne or Aaron Gilliam

Host profile image
My husband and I are from outside Rochester. We bought our first property in Bridgeport and added this property in November. My husband is a retired carpenter and we enjoy updating and renting our houses to people from all over. I own my own business in Williamsville, near Buffalo and we just love to spend our spare time down on the lake.

Why they chose this property

We purchased a property in Bridgeport and fell in love with Oneida Lake. My husband retired so we decided to purchase another home for ourselves and to rent out. We now have a lakefront property in Bridgeport that we rent for those who want quiet and it has a dock and walk in stairs to the lake called Carpe Diem and we now have a summer house that is close to all the fun and activity of Sylvan Beach along with its own beach area. We fell in love with this house at first sight but continued to look and kept coming back to this comfortable home. So we bought it to use and share with renters.

What makes this property unique

Close to shops, attractions, restaurants, bars, beaches, and an amusement park. Close but not in the center of all the activity for those who want a break from the hustle and bustle but want to be within walking distance.
