This idyllic getaway is Sylvan Beach’s premier vacation rental destination.
“This place is absolutely beautiful… From morning ‘til night, whether it was taking the pontoon boats out on the lake, renting water bikes and paddle boards, swimming in the pool, or just sitting on the deck of Sylvan Beach Supply Co. eating ice cream and watching the boats go by, there was never a dull moment. The kids really enjoyed playing in the playground. Sitting around a campfire making s'mores was the perfect way to end the night for all ages. The entire staff was super friendly and extremely helpful, and made our stay that much more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning to The Cove!” - Review from Kelly F.

Summer Lake Getaway
Our stay at the Cove was enjoyable. Our accommodations were not as expected from the pictures (blue house near the canal). We were placed in another property towards the middle of the development.
The kitchen is not well appointed for cooking so we had to buy some pans and dish soap. The bathroom floors were not well cleaned - hair and dirt but we had access to a vacuum to clean it up. The beds are layered with a sheet and a blanket in the closet - we recommend bringing another blanket or cover for the beds for the cooler nights.
Otherwise, the space was perfect for our family with a nice open layout for relaxing.
Another point of caution would be that we were in a bottom floor dwelling - which is nice to not have the stairs but you are subject to noises above you. Not much sleep later in the week due to the upstairs tenants loud footsteps and bathroom use.
The staff working in the supply store were wonderful and patient. The boat rental was a great addition to our stay.
We do hope to come back again - but will request a cottage so as not to have loud neighbors above us.

Family vacation
Had a great time with our boys (ages 3&5). They loved the pool/playground and going out in the pontoon boat. And we felt very secure like we were staying at a private resort.
