“Quaint little village of attached cottages. “ The unit was just as discribed. Pictures are accurate. My negativity with this property was the outdoor stairwell and windows were covered with cobwebs and spiders. My granddaughter’s were “freaked out” by this. The outdoor furniture also had spider webs. These should have been cleaned/removed before our arrival. I had to pay a $50 upfront cleaning fee. Since most of the cottage units are attached, you really can here the other guests. The sign said no pets, yet there were people staying with their dogs who really liked to bark! We were in the upper unit and the people in the lower unit had free access to the grill and picnic table. So we were not able to access this, as it states in the description. All and all, my granddaughters enjoyed the beach and amusement park.

Cozy Getaway
Beautiful property, just like the listing. My only complaint would be the difficulty in finding where to park and where the property was. Its BEHIND the purple cottages and we did not realize this for about 30 minutes. Would stay again!

Nice Family Mini-Vaca
Nice, clean, and so conveniently close to the beach! We had a great time.! Everything was just as Mia said it would be. The parking permit was very convenient, and our 13 and 11-year-old both had a good time. Would definitely come back! Thank you Mia!

Great location but needs TLC
The location couldn't be beat, just steps from the beach. However, we found a dirty sock under one of the beds, chicken wing bones on the deck, and the floor was dirty. It's a tiny place, so it shouldn't be hard to spot these things.
Could also use a good deep clean and some updates (mattresses, functional furniture, bathroom caulk, etc.) Apparently the "no swimming" signs are just for decoration as there were people everywhere in the water, once Wednesday came along. Sunday - Tuesday are dead and besides the lake, the area doesn't have much to do. We just wanted to get away though, and this fit. Just know what you're getting into.

Sylvan Beach is beautiful
I loved the stay at Sylvan beach. We paid way too much for the property the beds were very uncomfortable and sunk in the middle. Then we were accused of urinating in the main bedroom which never happened and for a fight that wasn’t us it was people we knew but they weren’t invited up. So the property manager is trying to charge us an extra 200 after we already paid a cleaning fee with the property for some urine she says that ran under the bed. It’s lies so be careful when you rent this and take pictures when you leave because I cleaned the place out and still was accused of this.

Location, location, location
This condo is right next to Harpoon Eddie's and included with a few cottages in a fenced-in area right on the beach. It has private beach access. The description was correct online. There really isn't much of a living room...just a kitchen/dining room with a table/chairs and a small wicker love seat. There is no oven if you need one. There are also no TVs located in the bedrooms and only 1 in the kitchen/dining area which you would have to sit at the table to watch or the small wicker love seat. Overall, great location, great hosts, and the place was clean. We would definitely stay again.

Weekend Getaway
Property itself was perfectly located, clean and inviting. Some items that were supposed to be at the property were not, tp and paper towels ( this was corrected by owner) the parking pass was never left by previous renters so we had to park a ways away, not too much of an issues until we left and had to load up the car. Would stay again.

Perfect!
This was just the weekend getaway our family needed. The location is great! Short walking distance to every restaurant we wanted to go to and the beach is pretty much your backyard. The balcony was handy for drying our wet stuff between trips to the water. If we plan another trip to Sylvan Beach, we hope we can stay here again!

Great time
Mia was great! There was a slight issue when we first got there with cleanliness (a miscommunication I beleive) but within 15 minutes Mia had a cleaner there and she did an excellent job! I would absolutely stay there again!

Perfect vacation getaway
Thank you Mia for a wonderful little spot for a safe vacation getaway. Everything was clean and easy to find. Just steps from the sand. Kids loved our little spot on the beach. All ages from 5 to 46 had a great time. Everything was in walking distance and everyone was so nice. Definitely will come again.

Great location, beach and a beach bar with live music next door
Cute small apartment, perfect for a quiet getaway. It's just a few steps to a nice soft sand beach. Water is warm, but provides a nice relief from hot, sunny weather. The location is great, plenty of restaurants and stores nearby, never had to drive the car during the entire stay.
The apartment is nice, clean and bright. There is a Roku TV, and great internet. We plugged in our Fire stick, worked great. Just be sure to bring every consumable you will need; hand soap, shampoo, paper towels, toilet paper. The kitchen plates, bowes, utensils etc. are OK. Next time we'll bring large coffee mugs for the awesome Keurig.
We loved this place, look forward to returning.

weekend
Nice location. Electronic lock was nice and easy to use.Glad that you get a permit for a parking spot on street right in front property. Good to find a nice place that we didn't have to rent for a week. Had a couple of questions for the owner when we arrived, she responded right away. Only complaints 1) was the big AC unit was not working, got by with the smaller one but might not work as well when really hot out. 2) Wish other owners/renters picked up after their dogs better there where some "land mines" in the common areas. Would rent again.

Enjoyable stay
Although small, Mia's property is in a great location. Steps from the beach and within walking distance of restaurants. The rental was very clean and access to the rental couldn't have been better. Plan to return next year.
