About this apartment rental
Need a home to stay in while you're in Oswego? The Navy is a block from Wright’s Landing and Lake Ontario and a 4-minute drive from SUNY Oswego. It's a few blocks from downtown Oswego, where you can find top-notch choices of restaurants and the Children’s Museum of Oswego. Breitbeck Park and Franklin Square (West Park) are within walking distance. Please not the stairs may not be suitable for those who have trouble going up and down stairs.
There are 2 bedrooms upstairs. The living room, dining/kitchen and bathroom are downstairs. A full-sized futon is provided in the living room. Coffee is on the house. The stairs may not be suitable for those who have trouble going up and down stairs.
Full access to the entire apartment, but not the garage.
I am available by phone, email and text.
The lake and River Walk are within walking distance and downtown Oswego is just a few blocks away. (Wright's Landing is one block away.) Breitbeck Park where you can get a great view of the lake and Lighthouse, and Franklin Square (West Park) are also within walking distance.
There are a few restaurants within walking distance.
Some who have trouble going up and down stairs may find it difficult to go up to the second floor where the bedrooms are.
To help us keep our prices down, I’d appreciate it if you could do the following before you leave:
1.) Strip the beds you used.
2.) Leave the used towels in the hamper.
3.) Double-check and make sure all the windows are closed before you leave. (I’m afraid I have to charge a $20 fee for each window left open as that sucks up a lot of energy.)
4.) Adjust the temperature to 62 (in the winter) or turn off the air conditioners in the summer.
5.) Finally, if you stain any linens or towels (including washcloths), please take them with you and kindly pay the $10 fine for each ($3 for washcloths), so I can replace them. (Please keep in mind that makeup leaves stains that are often impossible to remove.) Thanks so much for your help in this.

A nice, simple efficiency that we enjoyed !

Check in was great, the owner contacted me ahead of time with the information needed to access the property. The house was spotless and the fridge was stocked with water. Great experience, will be returning.

Our stay was great, Once we found where we were staying. I had no written directions or an accurate address to put in my map on the phone. Ended up calling OnStar from my truck and they got in touch with Vrbo, and got me the owner of the property and she gave me directions. Once I got there everything was good.

While the place was an older home and the stairs were a bit tricky to navigate, I was very happy with the location so close to the water and all downtown shops and restaurants. I had a couple small suggestions to help the ease of future renters: night lights at the bottom of stairs in living room and in bathroom as bedrooms are upstairs and bathroom down. Also a couple towel racks in bathroom would have been a nice addition. And kitchen wasn't as well stocked with cook and dinnerware as I imagined it would be but for 1 person it was fine. But otherwise, I would definitely rent the place again during another trip to Oswego!

This location is perfect for sunset gazing, biking or walking to thr nearby park(s). We were impressed with thr area and how bicycle user friendly the entire place is! The house is old and well used but as clean as a cottage typically is. Bare necessities in the cupboards and basic furniture. We thought it was just fine for a lake stay in a fantastic area.

It was a cute property with the perfect size for our stay. It was close to downtown Oswego which was a plus for us. Would definitely stay again.
4.5
The property is perfect for those using the Lake. Very good spot for fishermen.

I had everything I needed and place was clean. It is an older home with kind of stairs that I don't care for, good communication with owner all in all a pleasant stay.

Property was nice, located well. Very clean. But the beds weren't comfortable, the toilet was way too small for 60 year old plus people. And the Staircase was a challenge. Younger people and children this location would be perfect for. But old and slightly handicapped , this is not for you.
4.5
This property is as advertised. Very easy to walk to our dinner reservations which were just across the bridge.
4.5
Simple, bare basics, and acceptable living conditions. Good value for the price. I couldn't help but feel I was about to fall through the bathroom floor (literally cracks in the floor around the toilet) and I wondered if the electrical wiring was up to code (broken lamps, fluttering light fixtures, etc.). Overall, for a spot next to Lake Ontario, I was surprised at the price and the availability, but now I know why.

Well stocked. Caution Steep stairs. Beds upstairs, toilets downstairs.

My family and I stayed here for 2 weeks for Christmas. I am from Oswego and usually stay with my parents but we wanted our own space to work from so we could stay longer.
First, I missed in the listing where it is a unit, not an entire house. It is the back part of a house. It wasn't a problem for us, but the people in the other side of the house could be loud (I'm sure they could hear us too). My kids are 7 and 9 so we didn't need it particularly quiet but wanted to mention it for others that may have smaller kids.
Second, the listing pics do not show a TV, but there was one a Roku TV in the living room with Netflix ,Hulu, etc.
Third, we worked from the apartment and the internet was sufficient. We did not have issues with the internet. There is a dining room table you can work from but I borrowed a folding table from my parents so we had more desk space.
Fourth, water pressure in the shower was great. Very hot water. Be careful if you have kids, the water can definitely scald you.
Fifth, location is awesome. I recommend this location for the summer/harborfest. Walking distance to downtown, breitbeck, and Franklin square. You can see the lake from the front yard. Quiet neighborhood.
Sixth, property manager was very communicative and responsive but we never interacted in person (which is my preference personally).
Seventh, we had everything we needed to stay. All the pots, pans, dishes, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels ,etc. It was fully equipped. There was even cooking oil and spices. There is no dishwasher or washer or dryer (but there are a few laundry baskets so you can transport laundry).
Eighth, the place was very clean, but it is definitely old. It was completely sufficient for what we needed but not fancy. As others have mentioned the floors are very uneven. The stairs are kind of steep. My kids didn't have an issue but if they were smaller it would have been more difficult. My husband fell on the stairs several times (he is fine).
Overall we had a great stay and would stay again.

The Navy House was perfect for our visit to Oswego. The house was very clean, the water pressure was wonderful and the beds were very comfortable. We will come back next year.

My partner and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at the Navy House. The rental is the back portion of a larger old house. It is in decent shape, but has some quirks such as uneven floors. I wouldn't call it a luxury unit, but the basics are there - it is a clean and comfortable place to stay. The shower is wonderful - it has great water pressure and the towels are very high quality. The A/C includes window units in the upstairs bedrooms. The living room and kitchen were a bit warmer with no A/C, but a fan in the living room helped. A definite highlight of this unit is it's proximity to Lake Ontario and the beautiful park along the waterfront. Christine was easy to deal with. We were able to check ourselves in and out with no problem.
