Gorgeous location and fun for everyone!

Bayside Beauty has an incredible, beautiful overlook of Little Sudus Bay. The home is roomy, comfortable, clean, and well stocked with what you need. The home works well for a good-sized group who are comfortable with a mix of private bedrooms and camp-like dormitory accommodations. Everyone was comfortable and pleased with their beds, even the foldouts. Extra blankets abounded. The multiple bathrooms and roomy kitchen made life with a group easy. There are two large tables in two adjoining rooms that were used for game nights by two groups, and the layout allows for both privacy and interaction. We explored Fair Haven State Park, Chimney Bluffs, the quaint Fair Haven downtown, wineries, disk golf courses, trails, and even a little fishing off the dock. We came up for the eclipse and had stellar weather our entire stay... except for the two hours of the eclipse, but we enjoyed Bayside Beauty so much that it didn't matter. We all cherished that water view and could sense the generations of love and laughter that filled this legacy summer home. Everyone had a great time and were sad to leave. Mark was a wonderful host, easy to work with, and kept me well informed.

Fishing trip

Great setting on the bay. Home was as described. Bedding (blankets and comforters) were not clean and didn’t have enough for each bed. Dishwasher filter was clogged, so had to wash everything by hand. Some dishes were dirty upon arrival. Overall home was comfortable and was a nice place to relax after a day of fishing.

Very nice

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was nice. The View was spectacular. He has everything that you would want if you are camping. My nephews had fun fishing on the dock and they caught lots of fish. It has a beautiful sunrise. Only one criticism, the beds in the basement smelled a little musty.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Gail Brockman

West Bay has been in our family for 4 generations. What started as a one room bayside retreat has grown over the years to combine the rustic charm of the original cottage with the modern amenities which make living here comfortable.

'Sant Cottage' as it was originally known has been the summer retreat for one of Fair Haven's founding families. Generations of the Sant family still live around Little Sodus Bay.

West Bay was built for Raymond S. Sant, one of the most influential figures in the development of Upstate New York. Ray Sant was a soldier and educator whose foresight converted rural New York's one room school system into the the centralized school system that exists today.

Ray Sant's interest in Fair Haven and Sterling lead him to chronicle its' development in several books tracing the history of families and businesses in the area.

West Bay is where he found his inspiration.
