Sandy Beach Hideaway. Cozy and Bright. Entire house steps from the Sandy Beach!

This fully renovated, fully equipped house is mere steps from the beach.

Tucked in amongst an oasis of foliage in the front yard, this two bedroom house boasts all you will need for your stay in Sylvan Lake.

Location! Location! Location! Just across the street is the beach; or, meander down the promenade to fine dining, shopping, day life or night life. Parking on-site means that you can park for your stay and walk everywhere - avoiding the seasonal parking fees.

The house is bright, and set up for your stay. Bring firewood if you want to enjoy the firepit.

Sleeping four adults very comfortably with an additional twin mattress and a crib (pack and play). Option of plenty of floor space and an L shaped sofa, if needed.

Come to enjoy the beach, the day life, the night life; come for the multitude of activities that Sylvan Lake offers - Summer AND Winter.

This home away from home is just steps away from all that Sylvan Lake has to offer, It is only missing one thing. YOU!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a washing machine.

Charming cottage, it is a lovely home away from home. Perfect location, right across the street from the lake, and boardwalk. It has a beautiful front and backyard with mature trees. We enjoyed coffee and tea every morning in the front yard. The beds are very comfortable and the place is decorated beautifully.

Perfect location, right across from the lake but secluded and quiet. The host left a beautiful welcome note and gift which was a lovely touch. The house was clean, very comfortable and well appointed. Everything you need for your stay is there (just bring food and good company!). Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. The perfect stay. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic property across the street from the lake. Made daily paddling easy and impromptu returns if anything was missed when spending the day at the lake. The house was lovely, comfortable beds with duvets and well appointed kitchen. 10 minute walk to restaurants, rental boats and the Wibit. We are hoping to book again in the future.

The Best 'Girls Weekend Away' Cabin

We had the most wonderful stay at this VRBO! From the moment we arrived, check-in was a breeze, and the communication with the host was excellent. The house itself was perfect for our girls' weekend getaway. The beds were incredibly comfortable (they felt like a high-end hotel), ensuring we all got a great night's rest. We loved spending time on the sunny private front deck, whether sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. The backyard fire pit area was the perfect spot to relax and unwind together.The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to cook and enjoy meals together. The main drag is an easy 10 minute walk along the lake. This place was everything we were hoping for and more, and we will definitely be back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing retreat with great amenities.

It was a perfect stay. The property is right on lakeshore drive so we can see part of the lake from the windows. The house was so well equipped; there were nothing we needed that we couldn’t find. Beds & linens pristine & high quality (and abundant supply of) towels. Our family had 5 people. My 13 yo daughter slept on the single mattress provided and it was fine. Because the weather was rainy & cold we stayed in & had family time together. We will be back.
