About this property
Ltd Availability; 2 Steps Access --4BR/3BA--110 Ft Flat Beachfront--Family Home
Our family home is located at the quieter end of Canandaigua lake and yet is only a 15 minute drive from the City of Canandaigua and from Naples. This allows a combination of relaxation and activity to suit each guest: Canandaigua offers Roseland Water park and Wakeboard centre as well as historic sites and the Finger Lakes Wine and Culinary Centre whilst Naples is at the heart of the Grape tourist scene. A short drive provides access to wineries around Canandaigua and also around neighboring Keuka and Seneca lakes to the east. The Bristol Mountain aerial adventure course is a short drive to the western side of Canandaigua Lake and further west is the white water rafting centre in Letchworth State Park.
The house is maintained to a high standard because it is our family vacation home. Therefore it is only available for rent for 4-5 weeks per year. A wraparound deck allows you to enjoy the views and to move in or out of the sun as the day progresses. The house comprises four large bedrooms and three bathrooms. One King and two Queen bedrooms are on the second floor with the open plan kitchen/dining/living area and two bathrooms (one en suite); the kids' room is on the first floor with one bunk bed set (sleeps two) and one twin bed set plus the den/entertainment centre area and third bathroom. The plot is fairly level and allows access to main living area via two steps at rear and access to the permanent dock and boats by one step.
The 100 ft of flat lakefront is the best around. The lake is shallow within the confines of the dock area which is attractive to kids but deepens quickly from the edge of the dock. Water depth reaches three feet approximately 15 feet from shore, dropping off quickly to six feet at front corner of permanent dock and 20 feet at furthest point of dock. Good fishing can be had off the dock (subject to NY licence) and stories of 'the one that got away' abound by the lakeside camp fire. Wood is provided at the beachfront for the camp fire. Beachfront chairs are provided.
The wraparound porch allows the sunset to be enjoyed whilst dining outside; also enabling activity at the lake front to be observed. Sun or shade can be accessed throughout the day in the different seating areas on the deck. 'Lake toys' include a kayak and various inflatables/noodles. Boat whips allow mooring of renter's boats.
The house is located at South Lake Road, about 0.75 miles south of Vine Valley. The house is located across the road from the lake but there are no houses between our house and the lake. There is approximately 100 feet x 45 feet of beach between the road and the lakefront, and it is partly grassed and partly shale beach. The narrow road is a dead-end road with approximately 30 houses beyond ours and is used by walkers, runners, and cyclists.

About the host
Hosted by Anna and Tom Briggs
We live in the UK but have family in the area. Our Aunt & Uncle spend the summer near the property, in Vine Valley, and provide direct interface with guests on check in/check out and to respond to any concerns during the stay.
Why they chose this property
For many years we have had repeat guests, most families for 5+ years and one for over 10 years. Therefore we have had little need of external marketing because the house and its location sells itself.
What makes this property unique
One of the most level properties on Canandaigua lake and with 100 ft of shallow and flat beachfront. The main living space and 3 of the 4 bedrooms are on the second floor and are accessible from the rear via 2 shallow steps. The first floor is accessible directly from the front driveway or via internal stairs from the second floor.
Since it is principally our vacation home, it is stocked with more than you would expect from a rental property and we take care of the house and amenities.
