About this property
A Waterfront Treasure
This little cottage is ideal for those who want a romantic retreat, creative get away, wellness stay or just some rest & relaxation.
Here's what I find to be the best features of the property. First, it's a humble cottage that you will find offers all of the conveniences of home. Fully stocked kitchen, washer & dryer, Weber grill on the back deck, you have a large screen TV for those evenings that you may want to recoup from water and sun. Kayaks, an additional deck over the water for dining and so much more that would have to be experienced personally to fully understand.
The location is on 29th Avenue which if you are familiar with Sylvan beach most of the Restaurant and Entertainment is centrally located around Main Street, 13th - 15th Ave. It's a short drive and or walk into town but the beautiful part is that you are nestled away from the busy section and can fully take in the amazing sunsets while relaxing at the quiet end of the Beach.
The cottage is truly single floor living with a very large yard space. The Sunroom features a pull out sofa for two, which offers a sliding glass door for fantastic view and a cool breeze off the lake for a perfect nights sleep, while listening to the waves roll in.
Off of the kitchen is one 1/2 bath and the Master bedroom which has a queen bed w/ ensuite bathroom. There is a small upstairs space which has a twin bed at the top of the stairs as well as a trundle bed to the far front of the house.
The ideal renter would be most interested in privacy, looking to fully enjoy outdoor living in what we consider to be a prime location within the beach.

Excellent home to stay in. It's nice and cozy with plenty of space to relax. The water is literally right there and you can walk right into it. We enjoyed the kayaks and the kitchen! We would love to return next year with more family! Thank you for such a pleasant experience!

Thank you and I loved the note and sketch you left for me. Beautiful, I’m placing jt into a frame for the cottage! Have a wonderful fall and I’ll look forward to your spending some time next season.
Respectfully,
We absolutely loved our time here and everything about our stay. Robin was easy to communicate with, the neighborhood is peaceful & the views were spectacular. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning sipping coffee & watching the fish play & jump out of the water and the mama duck leading her ducklings across the water. Every evening was like a different majestic canvas. We stayed for 2 weeks & wish it could have been 2 more!
This is such a special place! We love this cottage so much! Robin our host goes above and beyond! We will definitely be back again, Super clean, everything you need and more is provided. Enjoyed the outdoor decks and swimming. The view is amazing from the inside and out. Great place to relax and recharge. Sylvan Beach restaurants were so good! Crazy Clam and Spaghetti Factory great dinners and The Pancake House has amazing breakfasts. If you plan to eat in and cook it has everything you need to create just about anything. Thank you for a vacation to remember!

It was as if always is a pleasure and Thank you once again for choosing the cottage to create more beautiful memories. All my best wishes for a wonderful summer!
Our home was super easy to get to with photos from the owner. The location was amazing as was the view. Everything you could want was at your finger tips: from cds to videos to board games, books, beach towels, flip flops, etc. (even PooPourri for the bathroom!) Honestly my most favorite part was sitting in the quaint sitting room reading my book and looking out the sliding glass doors onto the lake. The home decor was on point, gave you an “on the lake” vibe with a warm hug.

Hi Jeannine,
Just back from the cottage and it was spotless, as if you weren’t even there. I always appreciate the care given, so once again thank YOU. Please reach out when you are ready to return, would love to have you stay again.
Respectfully,
Robin
The house and property were perfect for quiet getaway. A short walk or drive to the beach, casino, amusement park or your choice or restaurants. We would definitely consider renting it again.
Great location. Waterfront Treasure was very relaxing. Unfortunately it rained for most of our trip so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space but it was amazing.
Cute cottage right on the water. Host included so many extra items such as kayaks, inflated lake tubes, paddle board, life jackets and so many other special touches to make our months stay so enjoyable.

Jill, thank you and I am thrilled that the weather was as perfect as you stated as well. All my best to you and your Mother in law.
Have a wonderful rest of the summer and thank you for making the cottage part of a life time memory.
My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend here during September. It was so peaceful, quiet and beautiful. The deck by the water is perfectly shaded to enjoy warm afternoons. We walked into town, took about 15 minutes, but otherwise enjoyed the sunroom, outdoor patio and deck. Great location and the host has literally thought of every detail to make this a comfortable stay. We will be back!
Had a very relaxing long weekend on the lake. The property location was perfect for a quiet holiday with only a short drive (or 20 min walk) to bars, restaurants and amusements. Robin was the perfect host! The sunsets were magical!
My fiancee and I booked this property as a quick weekend getaway and did not disappoint! The cottage is right on the lake, far enough away from the main area to be quiet, but close enough to everything in town! The sunsets were amazing! The property had everything we needed! We will definitely be going back next summer!

Wonderful house,amazing views,relaxing few days away from it all. Excellent communication with host and lovely gesture of food items on arrival. Being from the UK we came across Oneida Lake by chance but will be telling our friends what a beautiful spot it is.

About the host
Hosted by Robin Cortese
Hi! Thanks for considering the cottage. This photo was taken on the lake, I'm Robin the one on the right. The little one on my left is a long time friend, Angi who’s Husband and sons enjoy this cottage from time to time as well.
As soon as I set foot on the property years ago, I knew it was a special place. It's my home away from home which I hope you will enjoy as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
This is one of my all time favorite spots. Oneida Lake can be like a Ocean, the storms rolling in are incredible to watch just as the beautiful sunsets. It's truly a serene spot with respectful neighbors that appreciate the peace of this end of the Lake as much as we do.
My hobby is painting and sketching, I find my best work is done here. Additionally the space is ideal for entertaining as the outdoor area has a larger yard with a secondary deck over the water. My friends love to come here to just unwind after a long week and relax with dinner and cocktails water side.
If you are in search of a bit more of a laid back environment, which is outside of the town itself then this could be the perfect setting for your ideal getaway.
What makes this property unique
Solitude, Waterfront, 2 mins from the center of town and walking distance to all dining, arcade etc. Shallow sand bottom waterfront, with stairs into the water to the left of the property.
