Description Description
Nestled along the scenic shores of Canandaigua Lake, Island View offers the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and prime location. This luxurious six-bedroom Finger Lakes vacation rental is just minutes from downtown Canandaigua, where fine dining, boutique shopping, and year-round entertainment await. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that Island View is more than a lake home—it’s an experience designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable memories.

Travel down a quiet private road, where the trees open to reveal a grand white house perched at the bend, overlooking the cool, shimmering waters of Canandaigua Lake. The moment you step inside, you’ll feel the peaceful energy that only lake life can bring. The spacious foyer welcomes you with room to settle in and unwind after your journey. Down the hall, sunlight spills through floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the space with warmth and light. Immediately to your left, a wet bar invites you to pour a glass of your favorite Finger Lakes wine and toast to the start of your getaway.

The open-concept great room is designed with entertaining and comfort in mind. Wall-to-wall wood flooring stretches across the main living area, transitioning to soft tile in the kitchen where form meets function. Oversized white leather sofas create a bright and inviting gathering space for your group to relax, share stories, or take in the stunning views that stretch out to the horizon. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island perfect for both meal prep and casual conversation. Fully stocked with cookware and utensils, this kitchen has everything you need to prepare family-style meals or simple snacks between adventures. The dining table, long and elegant, provides a place for everyone to come together and enjoy good food and laughter, all while gazing out at the sparkling lake just beyond the windows.

Just off the dining area, a four-season room provides another space for relaxation. With a comfortable futon and panoramic windows, it’s the ideal spot to sip your morning coffee as the sun rises or enjoy a quiet evening of reading while the water shimmers in the distance.
The main floor master suite is a haven of comfort and privacy. Wake each morning to sweeping lake views from your king-size bed, and enjoy the luxury of a private sitting area and en-suite bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, and a spacious walk-in shower. Down the hall, you’ll find a second bedroom with a queen and double bed, offering flexibility for families or multiple couples, as well as a full bath conveniently located near the kitchen.

Upstairs, four more beautifully furnished bedrooms await, each designed with comfort and style in mind. Plush bedding, soft lighting, and tasteful décor create a restful environment for every guest. A bonus game room on this level ensures entertainment for all ages, featuring a pool table, foosball table, shuffleboard, and large-screen TV. Whether the weather calls for outdoor adventures or cozy indoor fun, Island View provides everything you need for a memorable stay.

Outside, the property continues to impress with thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces. A stone patio outlines the south side of the home, where a hot tub offers a front-row seat to breathtaking views. Gather here for morning coffee, alfresco meals, or stargazing at night. Kids can enjoy the swing set while adults unwind nearby, and as evening falls, the fire pit becomes the perfect gathering spot. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and reflect on a day spent exploring the Finger Lakes.

Our kiddos spent many waking hours in the lake which was so easy to access. We created flotillas with kayaks, paddle boards, and floats. Also loved the swing. This grandma got a good upper body workout pushing that swing.

Perfect!
This home was perfect every way. From the moment we walked into the home and were welcomed by large living spaces and high end design, we knew it would be a wonderful week. And that was just the inside! The outside provided great play spaces including easy lake access, kayaks, a hot tub, and a tree swing (a favorite among our kiddos). The home accommodated our family of 14 beautifully. We didn’t have a rainy day, but the game room would have been (and was) a fun space for kids to play and relax. The town of Canandaigua was minutes away with grocery stores and ice cream shops. Very close to the Canandaigua public beach area for early morning walks. Can’t wait yo return to Island View again next summer.

This property fit our three generation group needs 100%. Location perfect. We like being near town. New kitchen renovation was beautiful. Dining table seats 12 and was great for all our meals. Played games in the deep front yard. We enjoyed the lake front fire pit area both day and night (Thank you for the new chairs.) We also happily used the dock, swing, grill, hot tub, and kayaks. Second TV and sofa upstairs helped folks split up when we wanted to. This home had everything we could want. We would like to stay again! As always FLPP was great to work with. Thank you!

Glorious family reunion!
All ten family members kept raving about Island View especially the spaciousness of the impeccably cleaned home. We were grateful for the AC in the unusual 90 degrees June weather. We appreciated the helpful and friendly staff at FLPP.. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing, kayaking, meals around the huge table, the amazing updated kitchen, campfires, playing pool, reading on the patio, grilling outside, swinging under a big oak tree, tubing behind a boat rented nearby, and so much more. This was the perfect spot to gather and make memories that we'll cherish! There's already talk of a return!

We had a beautiful stay here. The house was so clean and had all the essentials we needed. We went to dinner at Murphy’s and checked out Nicks Chophouse for their rooftop bar and hit up Rocky’s to end the nights. We wine toured on Saturday. Overall great weekend, great area.

Wonderful house for an extended family gathering
Our party of 13, ranging from toddlers to teens to parents and grandparents, stayed for a week and very much enjoyed this clean and well-equipped property. Close to town for convenient grocery shopping and day trips to local attractions, but situated in a quiet cove, it felt like a private resort. The great room comfortably accommodated the whole group for meals and games, but many other indoor and outdoor spaces were available when anyone wanted a quiet corner to read or chat. The cooks enjoyed working together in the large kitchen; the hot tub, kayaks, and games room were also big hits. Would definitely recommend!

Great Location/ Wonderful House for large gathering
First, while the house is so close to town (it was a quick trip to get supplies, food, etc and the town provides some lovely shops), it does not feel like it. The little cove was quiet and provided wonderful views. The house itself served us very well. Our party included 8 older adults, 6 tweny-somethings and 2 kids. We had plenty of room and activities for everyone. The hot tub, fire pit and game room were particular hits. The kitchen/ great room became a wonderful gathering place, while the screened in porch provided a quiet refuge for those wanting some peace. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, including a regular coffee maker (flat #8 filters) and a kurig-type coffee maker. The cooks in the family enjoyed showing off their talents in the fancy kitchen. And we had plenty of room to store supplies and food. Sleeping areas were surprisingly quiet, even when the noise in the main rooms got a bit much. Bathrooms are shared with the hallway, but there were plenty for our needs. The provided sheets/ towels were a blessing. The tweny-somethings enjoyed the available watercraft (life jackets were available) and jumping off the dock to swim in the cove. One day we rented a pontoon boat and were able to pickup/ drop off at the dock. Highly recommend for small and larger parties.

Very nice and well equipped large lakehouse

We celebrated a birthday with the family in Canandaigua. The house has everything you need to spend a long weekend. We enjoyed the lake, the Jacuzzi, and the playset with the children. Great place to take ling walks and run. Very well equipped, large and nice rooms, very clean. I highly recommend it.

This house was amazing. The views from the back patio and lawn were incredible and the cove was very pleasant to our stay. The house was large and offered plenty of common space for our party of 17. We had plenty of windows to keep an eye on the kids both from inside and outside the house. We felt secluded even though the house was minutes away from all the conveniences of the town of Canandaigua. We were very happy with this property and hope to be back soon

Lakeside Luxury and Family Reunion Friendly!

This was the perfect home for our group. The location was key!! The open floor plan was perfect for our group of 12. A table we could all sit and have a meal, play games and a beautiful view. The kayaks and canoe were added fun and the patio with plenty of seating was great. S’mores at the fire pit by the lake were a great way to end the night. Highly recommend!!
