Private sancutary on Irondequoit bay

Excellent location, host was very communicative, which is always appreciated when traveling

Everything was great!

Pros:- The view was beautiful. Even saw eagles.- Central location to just about anywhere in Rochester.Cons: (in order of importance)- There were 3 entrances, exterior into 2nd story of garage, interior garage access to spiral staircase, elevator that ran to all 3 floors, 3rd floor was the apartment. The interior garage door did not function correctly. When i managed it to get it to lock, it would (mysteriously) come unlocked during the night. I contacted the host twice and he did not even attempt to fix. He told it probably needed fresh batteries. The last night i heard it unlock so i went out and bought a new battery. That did not fix the issue. Security is paramount and this guy couldnt be bothered. After trying to fix it myself, i ended up calling a friend for a place to stay.- Misrepresented. The pics show a gym area. I dont know where that gym was but it wasnt on the second floor. That garage was completely full with furniture, home goods, and clothes, all just stacked in a mess. Not a good vibe, like someone was kicked out of their home or something. Even had an open suitcase. Weird.- Not properly cleaned. Dirt under sofa cushions, food left in freezer, and pots and pans were greasy.- Insufficient supplies, upon arrival i had 1/2 roll of tp and no kitchen trash bags. I did have coffee so at least there was that.- TV was VERY small and not able to be viewed from the sofa or bed. Under circumstances i just described, I felt very unsafe at this apartment.

Cute studio overlooking the bay. Close to everything. The hosts were friendly and responsive. This will definitely be our place to stay next time we visit my daughter.

This house was beautiful, and the scene was breathtaking. Walking down to the water was easy. The lights that lead down the path was a plus. I would definitely book again next summer.

This property exceeded our expectations! There's lots of space to spread out and the wall of windows overlooking Irondequoit Bay made the unit seem even larger. The unit is over a garage that the owner uses for equipment storage. There is an elevator for exclusive use of guests renting the studio that is accessed through the garage. It worked great during our stay! The kitchen area has a two-burner stove and enough pots, pans and utensils, to prepare small meals. The host supplies coffee, filters, sweeteners and creamer. The unit was spotless and everything looked brand new. We picked it because we wanted to be close to the water and we got exactly what we wanted, with a bonus of a very spacious, new studio, and a friendly host.

Poor access! A metal spiral staircase followed an entry through a dirty garage and no working elevator. Place was dirty with very little furniture. 3 old towels available and 1 wash cloth! I could go on! The view was good.

We had a great 3 nights celebrating our anniversary. The apartment is clean and has all necessities. Its a short drive to restaurants and such. Nice view of the bay. The elevator was a godsend for my wife and me.

Apartment was perfectly sized for a couple looking to get away. Location is easily accessible to 590 highway and has a fantastic view looking out over Irondequoit Bay. We loved the windows and style of the apartment.

The good: The location of the property is great, close to downtown Rochester and Lake Ontario. Checkin was easy and host was responsive throughout our stay. The not so good: We booked this particular property due to it's lake/bay front access. Unfortunately, despite the VRBO description, the entire lakefront is under construction and not accessible. The property listing should have been updated/accurate to note construction. We would have stayed somewhere else if we had known.
