Sandy Beach Haven - Modern Canandaigua Lake House

Sandy Beach Haven is lakefront family vacation home nestled in the best part of Canandaigua Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Finger Lakes. With a level yard right on the water and a westward sunset view, this premium property is now available for short-term rentals for the first time.

Recently renovated and newly furnished in a comfortable modern lake house style, Sandy Beach Haven is ideal for discerning vacationers and can accommodate 1, 2, or 3 families at once:
- 2 Physical Structures: 1 main house on the water, plus a furnished carriage house across a private drive 20 feet away. Large enough for privacy.
- 8 Bedrooms: 5 bedrooms plus 1 loft in main house, and 2 bedrooms in the carriage house. A total of 10 beds for up to 15 people: 3 kings, 2 queens, 2 fulls, and 3 twins. (Note that some of these are bunkbeds or in the loft, which requires use of stairs.)
- 5 Full Bathrooms: 4 in main house, 1 in the carriage house. Each master suite in the main house has its own full bathroom.

Features include:
- Beautiful Canandaigua Lake: In the heart of the finger lakes and the perfect launchpad for winery, brewery, and craft distillery tours in the area. Minutes from the family-fun north end of the lake with restaurants, ice cream, and more.
- Walking Distance to CMAC: The Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center is less than 1/2 mile away if you want to catch a show.
- Kayaks Included: Feel free to use our two kayaks if you feel safe doing so (adults only, please), or bring your own kayaks or canoes and carry them right into the water from the yard.
- BYO Boat, or Rent a Boat: Email us for a referral to a boat rental business, and they'll drop it off at your own private dock. Or bring your own boat and use our lift (v-hull or pontoon; up to 5,000 lbs, 24' long, 120" wide)
- Treehouse for the Kids: If you plan to visit with your school-age children, they'll love the little treehouse in the backyard, complete with swing.
- Fully Air Conditioned and Heated: Four-season home ready for use any time of year. Newer forced air A/C keeps everyone comfortable, and natural gas fireplaces and baseboard heat keep you cozy in the winter.
- Flat Screen TVs Roku: Two 55" and two 50" wall-mounted flat-screen televisions with built-in Roku. You can log into your own video streaming accounts if you prefer.
- High Speed WiFi - High speed broadband internet running on a local mesh network for WiFi access throughout with 100 megabits per second of bandwidth.
- Washer and Dryer Included - Got dirt? Leave with suitcases of clean clothes instead of dirty laundry.
- Loft with Reading Nook - Kids and adults alike will enjoy the full size bed, bean bag chair, and library of books and games up in the elevated loft within the first floor master suite.
- Newer, Quality Furnishings - Purchased, renovated, and recently furnished. We didn't cut any corners. This is where we vacation ourselves, so you'll find the best quality throughout - granite counters, hardwood floors, comfortable but modern furniture, high quality bedding and pillows, and more.
- Outside is the Best Side - A fire pit, outdoor furniture, and new (2019) outdoor kitchen with outdoor refrigerator, sink, and natural gas grill. Everything you could want right outside your door.

The house is even better than the description and I’ve never seen a rental this clean! Tons of space for the kids to play and stay busy while the parents relax and enjoy the gorgeous view. Our stay was a treat and we hope to be back every year!

A great family Thanksgiving!

The cold weather didn't detract from our family's having a wonderful Thanksgiving at Sandy Beach Haven. The place was clean, cozy and conveniently located. Ten of us ate, played games, watched some TV while sitting by a warm fire and looking out at the beautiful lake. Hosts were very responsive to our needs.

Loved being lakefront

The house was very comfortable, clean, and spacious. We enjoyed being lakefront with our own dock. The kids were able to take their paddle boards out easily and the water was very clear and on the shallower end, which was nice. Beautiful sunsets.

A wonderful retreat

Sandy Beach Haven was the perfect weekend retreat. Snow in the air, two fireplaces to keep the house warm, and tons of windows overlooking the lake made for the perfect weekend to cook, to eat, to read, and to relax and be with family. The property manager was always available by phone or text - helpful, but never intrusive.

Perfect place to stay for families and e

Location close to town and view on the lake were amazing. Our family was here for a wedding. House was very comfortable, spacious, with many bathrooms and right on the lake with a great dock. Our host Lori responded quickly to any questions we had to make sure we had a great stay. Plenty of parking and outdoor patio with outdoor kitchen facing the lake was perfect for our group. Even an outdoor fire pit for making s'mores. Kids loved the swing and treehouse….as well as the secret Harry Potter room. Thanks Lori for making this such a great memory.

Graduation Gathering

Family traveled from all over the East Coast to attend a college graduation ceremony. The house was a perfect location to gather, have meals, hangout. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens I have come across. The Host was very attentive and even had a card for the graduate. She was very responsive, kind and generous. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Lakeside cottage

We had a weekend family reunion with 13 people staying over. Sandy Beach was as promised, we did bring a blow up bed for a child which fit perfectly in the downstairs bedroom. There were 2very large bedrooms in the main house plus 3 more bedrooms and 2 in the carriage house. I was hoping for more dishes, but we supplemented with paper plates. Lori and her husband were very helpful! Entry and exit were very easy.. we all loved our stay, no complaints whatsoever!

Practically Perfect

We were 4 families ages 6 months to 71 years. Grandparents stayed in 1st floor Master. Beautiful room, small bathroom, very soft bed but we were fine. Upstairs master was beautiful ; had its own air conditioning as did the 1st floor master. Other bedrooms were very warm as there’s no air in them. Table fans in those rooms would have been a good idea. Bunk beds were very squeaky so only the bottom was used. The other bunk bed top bunk was much too close to the ceiling so couldn’t use that either. Luckily we had a few people that didn’t stay the whole week or we wouldn’t have had enough beds. Kitchen and living area are beautiful. Plenty of seating for meals and watching tv. One of the families stayed in the carriage house. The king bed was so hard that my son had to sleep on the couch. Kitchen was in need of plates and glasses. It could also use a table and chairs for small children to eat breakfast. They all managed other than those items. We all ate together in the main house or outside on the awesome table and chairs. We spent most of our time outside on the dock and the shaded yard. The tree house was a big hit for the 7 year old. We brought our ski boat which docked beautifully on the boat lift. The house is located very close to Walmart and Wegmans. The best part was spending a whole week with the family in a fantastic setting.

What makes this place spectacular is the layout and design of the home. There are plenty of special places to sit and get cozy. The planned spaces accommodate both private and communal activities. The beautiful water view and fireplace grace the large living room, kitchen, and dining room, as well as some bedrooms. The house is tastefully decorated and looks like the photos.
