Beachfront holiday rentals in Syracuse

The location is great—right by the lake with stunning views. The apartment was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway

Seldom, do you find a place where time stands still, the host is warm and welcoming and the location is beyond beautiful. This was our stay at Diane's cottage on the lake. We hiked local parks, kayaked the lake, enjoyed wonderful food, shopped and took in the view. Diane and her extended family were open, warm and delightful. Our regret is we didn't stay longer. Should we ever return, we will definitely stay at the cottage. Our many thanks and blessings to Diane and her family for making our stay remarkable.

The cabin is located on Oneida Lake! Everyone was really friendly! There's lots of stuff for families to do... They have swingsets, soccer nets, basketball hoops, and lots of balls.

We stayed here for my daughter’s graduation from Syracuse. Although a drive from the city, it was a great choice for hanging out away from the busyness of Syracuse. We really enjoyed our time here and it was a good set up for my ILs who had access to the downstairs bedroom and bathroom.

We had a great stay! The location is beautiful and the house was just as described. It was great having enough room to all stay in one place to celebrate my daughter graduating from Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine. And, our dog was also allowed to come!

Our stay at Sylvan Beach was absolutely perfect, thanks to an incredible host who truly thought of every detail. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of – the place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could possibly need (and things we didn’t even know we’d need!). Beach towels, air fryer, pool table, workout equipment, and board games for rainy afternoons – nothing was overlooked. It’s clear the host genuinely cares about their guests’ comfort and went above and beyond to make the stay special. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again – highly recommended!

Brian was excellent in communication and answering questions about his place and the surrounding area, prior to our departure. Unfortunately we were staying there for a business trip, and our client cancelled the trip two days before we left. The reason was a lake effect snowstorm that was going to hit Syracuse and surrounding areas the day we were to drive up to Altmar, NY from the Philadelphia region. At the time, the weather teams in Philadelphia were telling us that we could get hit on our way back to Philly with snow that would be 12" - 15", which didn't happen. Our client is going to reschedule the trip hopefully in the near future. My crew and I tend to book Brian's place again when it's rescheduled. We wanted to give Brian 5 stars on everything, because there really isn't a place in the 'ratings' area that says 'we had to cancel the trip'. I'm sure once we get up there for the reschedule that we'll be giving a 5 star rating regardless.

The home accommodated a large group of friends for the weekend. property was so amazing on the lake, i wish we had more time to spend there. Brian’s communication was also excellent, thank you!

This studio was a great place for our stay. Robb and his wife are amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make our time comfortable. The apartment was clean, cosy, and filled with all the things needed for our stay. The neighbourhood itself is very walkable and the village shops are only a five minute walk down the road. We wished we could've stayed longer.

We loved our stay at Susan's Lakehouse! The house was exactly as described. It was spotless and had everything we needed for our week at the lake. The lake was lovely and we spent lots of time floating in it and sunning ourselves on the shore where there was ample seating for our group of 5. There were plenty of noodles in the waterfront shed and entry into the water (with water shoes) was easy and comfortable. There were also great outdoor spaces at the house for hanging out and dining. We had a great time playing cornhole on the ample lawn. Susan was responsive to every question and any small issue was addressed quickly and easily. We loved this stay so much that we have already reserved again for next summer.

Chloe's house at Skaneateles Lake is beautiful, it was clean and neat inside, the yard was big, the lake front was perfect. The house is spacious with beautiful bathrooms and kitchen. It is in a quiet neighborhood and felt very private. Karen, the manager, was quick to respond to my texts and extremely helpful.

First trip to Sylvan beach. Ricks place was fantastic. I needed four rooms and kept finding places where had all these makeshift “rooms” that were actually the living room with a pull out couch. Rick’s place was great with 4 actual bedrooms. The place was right on the water and we enjoyed swimming in the lake and hanging out on the huge deck. Rick was more than accommodating when we needed to come in early and stay a little late. Rick gets 5 stars from me and when I’m back in town i will def come back.

We had a really great time here! The pictures don't do this place justice. The lake views are amazing all throughout and the house and the deck and boathouse are also really good too. The house is also in a nice part of the lake that isn't crowded and is very serene and peaceful. The host was great with communication as well. We would definitely consider coming back to this place if we come back to the area sometime soon!

We loved our stay at this charming cottage right on the lake. The multigenerational rustic feel brought back fond memories of my youth on the lake. It was exactly what we were looking for. Kayaks and canoes were used by everyone. The weather was incredibly hot which encouraged all to jump in the lake. It is close to the village which allowed for quick trips to shop and enjoy its beauty and history. Barb was incredibly pleasant and the perfect host. Can’t wait to go back!

The setting is peaceful and scenic, perfect for unwinding and enjoying time with family and friends. The house itself is spacious and well laid out, with multiple bedrooms and common areas that made it easy for our group to relax and spend quality time together. The kitchen was well-stocked, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home that made our stay more comfortable. The location is ideal — just a short drive from several excellent Finger Lakes wineries. We loved exploring the area and sampling local wines; there’s something for everyone, whether you’re into bold reds or crisp whites. The sunsets over the water were absolutely stunning, and the outdoor space was perfect for evening chats and fun. As a small suggestion, adding locks to the bathroom doors and a window screen in the main living area would help improve bring in fresh air & keep out insects. Overall, it was a great stay, and we would absolutely return for another relaxing gateway! Thank you so much.

The cottage was perfect for Syracuse University graduation weekend. It was clean, adorable and equipped with everything we needed. Surroundings were beautiful and of course, the town (which was only a short drive away) is so quaint and pretty. Richard was a very friendly, responsive host and answered any questions I had. Definitely a place I would recommend!

This lovely cottage is charming, warmly welcoming and very clean which is always appreciated. There's plenty of space and it's well appointed with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable, there's just enough furniture and an awesome fireplace too. What I love most about the interior is that, even though it's been updated, the original wood and classic structure is still there.. The entire place makes you feel right at home. The view from the screened in porch is outstanding, with Cayuga Lake right in front of you. The back of the cottage is surrounded by beautiful forest with a trail that leads to a waterfall, that's rather magical. We were there for 3 nights but wished we cold have stayed longer! Hosts Randle and Branch were fantastic and easy to reach. What I will remember most about this place is the energy, both inside and out. It's like you can feel all the great experiences people have had here over the years. It is a place you will want to return to.

This is our second year returning to this townhouse. The location is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. We truly enjoy the volleyball, paddle boards, kayaks, ability to dock our boat and an area for our kiddos to just run free. Daniel is extremely responsive and an amazing host. We are super excited to return again next year!

This home exceeded our expectations! We had a beautiful view of the lake from the wrap around deck and a great little beach area to enjoy the waterfront. I would highly recommend staying here, Terry was an excellent host and responded to our questions right away. We will definitely be coming back to visit soon.

Jacci is definitely a super host! She met us to help check in & show us around which was super helpful. The home looked exactly as described. Jacci checked in to make sure we were doing great & went above & beyond to make our stay great. She is what every host should be! Cheers!

Lisa’s pre-checkin instructions were thorough and accurate. We had a challenge with the door that proved to be operator error that she walked us through over the phone. Aside from that it was a wonderful place for our family to get together and relax including two active grandkids 3 and 8. We had everything we needed to make it a trouble free stay and keep everyone entertained. Across the driveway was a cow pasture which was very entertaining for the kids and adults plus there were some wonderful sunsets!

Melissa was great and super flexible! We had a great time

Liam’s place is a rustic lake house with plenty of space to spread out. Bedding was gleaming white clean. Had our weather been good, it would have been a great spot on the lake! Back yard is large for activities. A short drive away is Quarry Ridge Winery and Aurora Brewing Company- Highly recommend both! Liam was very responsive and super helpful!

Paul’s lodge is a beautiful, peaceful escape on the lake. The outdoor spaces are fantastic. We traveled with 2 families of 4 (four kids ages 10-13) and the kids found plenty to do with exploring, hiking, polar plunging, and using the hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. We spent a lot of time on the deck with the fireplace, which was wonderful in the evenings and at night! Definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive car… the access road is steep and slippery when wet! Just take your time and you’ll be fine driving in or out. The hike to the mailboxes was a fun little challenge! We spent one day in the adorable town of Skaneateles, and Mike recommended a great place for us to eat (Sherwood inn). The town is quaint and lots of nice shopping! Overall we had an excellent time and would come back again!
