As with any home, there are a few things you may want to be aware of before booking your stay: Please note that both bedrooms are located on the second floor, which can be accessed via a staircase with 13 steps. Additionally, there is a corner near the bottom of the steps that requires some extra care when descending. While the walls are insulated, please be aware that the "Lakeside Hideaway Studio" is a separate unit at the back of the house, and sound may travel between the units. As a fun fact, the street racing scene depicted in the 1979 hit song "Rev on the Red Line" by the iconic band Foreigner was based on actual street racing on Lake Avenue in Rochester. This tradition still carries on today and Lake Avenue is just a few blocks from your vacation home. You may occasionally hear cars racing, please be careful when crossing to the beach, and enjoy the unique cultural history that surrounds you during your stay. To maintain a peaceful atmosphere in our community, my space is not available for parties. Please note that noise monitoring equipment has been installed, and any loud parties will result in immediate eviction without a refund. Please be advised that smoking is not permitted inside the house, and there is a $150 odor remediation fee for any smoking-related damages. Designated smoking areas are located outside the property.

Enjoyable stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming home in Rochester, NY (Charlotte area). The location was perfect, being near the lake and close to various attractions, food spots, and highways. The house itself was clean, easy to access, and had a quaint charm that made our stay very comfortable. The host was incredibly helpful and provided us with a lot of useful information, making them a great communicator. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend this home for anyone visiting the area!

Great space
Property is perfectly located for our visits to local family. Very well stocked kitchen for cooking and dining needs; comfortable beds; cute decor. Special touch of Christmas tree and decor made it a home away from home! Will definitely return.

***BUYER BEWARE!**
This is a lovely home in a great location however this host inflated their rental rate by fraudulently listing the property with these very important ENTIRELY FALSE amenities and features including:
1. There is no hot tub!
2. These is no jetted bathtub!
3. There is no outdoor grill!
4. The master balcony - shown as accessible and usable with furniture on it has been permanently locked and there is no furniture.
5. This property was rented to us as an “ENTIRE HOUSE” according to VRBO however there are actually 2 different rentals under one roof in a regular house and a part of the house inside and outside has been locked away and is being rented separately!! This is absolutely unacceptable.
We will report these inaccuracies to VRBO as well and hopefully this host will remove these falsely listed amenities and features and list their properly correctly on VRBO for future guests.

A Lovely Home Away From Home By The Lake
My husband and I, along with our two fur babies, thoroughly enjoyed our stay a this comfy, cozy, clean and beautiful home. It was a great place to decompress in-between visiting with family in the area. The neighborhood was perfect for long beautiful walks by Lake Ontario with our dogs and they loved the nearby

Great home in great location.
Very nice property! We will definitely stay here again. Note - there is a small apartment in the back of the house. We did not realize it and heard footsteps upstairs which was a little freaky til we saw the sign in one of the bedrooms about the apartment. It was not a problem.
