Fair Haven, New York - Little Sodus Bay

My family and I stayed here from July 16 to July 23, 2011 and enjoyed every minute of it. We love this cottage very much. There were 4 of us (me, my husband, my 16-yr old daughter and her friend) and we all agreed it is like being on a very spacious and clean houseboat / beach house with all the comforts of home.

The minute we walked in, T's eyes lit up: "Wow, mom!" -- If you have teenagers, you know this is a very very good compliment indeed.

There are 3 spacious bedrooms in this 2-storey cottage with air conditioning on both floors. The entire cottage is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. If you are spending time indoors, there are plenty of books, magazines, games, DVDs / VHS tapes, as well as Satellite radio and TV and secure WiFi.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make meals - just bring your own groceries (IGA Grocery is a 15-min drive from the cottage in Hannibal, NY). A grill right out the front door ensures your BBQ enthusiasts can cook to their heart's delight.

We spent most of our time relaxing on the deck and swimming in the clean bay... literally right out of the cottage's porch.

The location is perfect; right on Little Sodus Bay, breathtaking views of sunrise, sunset, and waterfront living in all its glory. Some houses around the bay are perched on a little hill, this one has the privilege of being right on the water - much preferred by us!

If you're lucky, there are two ducks who will make friends with you and hang out during your stay; the baby ducks visited us on Day 1. They just stay a foot away from you on the deck, sometimes they are just swimming in the bay along with the many fish that just hang out in the water right by the cottage. If you're inclined to feed them, do so with some bread.

Greggy and I love nature and animals and we grew quite attached to our little duck friends.... spectacular experience!

The best part of the experience is my dealings with Scott, the cottage's owner. He is so helpful and always prompt to answer my millions of questions. His family uses the cottage for their vacations and keeps it impeccably clean and comfortable. Kudos and many thanks to Scott for being a professional and honourable man.

If you are lucky enough to find this cottage, guaranteed you will enjoy every minute of staying here, just as we have.
