The Blue Heron cottage offers the best of both worlds. The front of the cottage sits on a sandy beach with Lake Ontario rolling in the waves. The sunsets on the beach are spectacular. There you can spot one of the many Bald Eagles fishing in the lake. Or maybe you want to watch the sailboat races right out front on the lake. Plenty of body surfing and swimming. The back of this wonderful cottage sits on Sodus Bay. The water is calm and great for swimming and fishing, water skiing and all kinds of water sports. All our cottages are accessible by boat only and we take you and your things in and back out when you leave on a 24' pontoon boat. Once there you have a 14' motor boat to get around on. All the
restaurants have docks. So you can shop and eat without ever getting back into your car. It's a BLAST! You will love it here!

(gas will be$15.00 for the week unlimited refills) The beds are made with sheets only, you bring pillows, towels and blankets as of Covid-19 new rules. There is endless toilet paper, 2 rolls of paper towels and much more. The kitchen has it all. fully equipped with the latest cooking utensils.

Beautiful setting
What a gem crescent beach is! We stayed at the property with 7 people, me, my wife, our 4 children (ages 12, 10, 6 and 3), and my mom. The beach and bay are beautiful and the property is as described, with access to both out of your front door and back door. Its a bit rustic, but we expected that based on prior descriptions from other renters. The cottage needs a little work and updates, but again, we felt like everything was what we expected, and loved the one in a million location. We rented a bigger boat from Fowler’s to do tubing and fun in the bay, and I highly recommend doing that! Our kids had a blast. We made incredible memories, and Martha and Scott were generous, kind and caring owners- and were amazing hosts all weekend.

Loved it
Perfect location. Loved having access to a boat. Martha even let us have the pontoon boat one day since we were celebrating an anniversary - which an incredibly generous gesture. We were greeted with wine and cheese and our entire trip was remarkable. Martha was an amazingly friendly and generous host.

Lovely spot, Sodus Bay on one side, Lake Ontario on the other
My grown son, 8-year-old grandson and I greatly enjoyed our two nights at this amazing dog-friendly cottage with Sodus Bay in front and Lake Ontario in back. It can only be reached by boat. The cottage was clean and well-equipped but be warned there is no WiFi. The VRBO listing needs an update though. We brought our towels, pillows and blankets, as advised due to Covid, only to discover we didn't need to. There was no hammock. Also there were no kayaks or canoe even though they were mentioned in the listing. We had use of a motorboat which was great fun. You can fish off the dock. The swimming is great and the beach extends for some distance for walking. (Beach shoes are advised due to the rocky beach.) And July 4th weekend was great fun, fireworks on all sides for two hours both Saturday and Sunday. I'd definitely go there again.

Amazing view and caring owners
Our stay was absolutely amazing. We are looking forward to staying next year. Scott and Martha were absolutely wonderful. Water pressure in shower was very low not sure if needs new shower head or needs to be cleaned . But worth dealing with for the beautiful view.

Great spot! So quiet and relaxing. Perfect place for kids and dogs as you can walk right out the door and sit on the beach as kids play. Water was so warm and great waves one day and super calm the next. House was basic but had everything you need. Having a boat, canoes etc to use was awesome. Martha and Scott are so helpful and available and you know they love the place, kids and dogs. Can’t wait to go back!

Weekend at Blue Heron
My college friends and I do an annual summer trip to catch up and get some time together, and this year we stayed at Martha and Scott's Blue Heron Cottage on Lake Ontario near Sodus Point. The location was beautiful, with water views and access, a balcony and a porch on both the front and back of the house. There wasn't a set check-in time, and our three groups all arrived at separate times with Martha being extremely accommodating and friendly in picking up and dropping off all of us. The directions that we received prior to getting to the pick up and parking location were also very helpful and easy to follow. The cottage itself was perfect for what we were looking for: a space with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and outdoor space where we could all hang out, and still have private spaces. Martha was also great for the entire duration of our stay! She was very communicative, and assisted us when our motorboat stopped working, going so far as to lend us her own for our long weekend! We can't say enough good things about Martha. There were a few things that were not included in the listing that we discovered upon arriving: No plates, bowls, cups, or cutlery in the kitchen, though plenty of cooking vessels. The stove and coffee pot were both non-working, though the Keurig worked just great when we purchased K-Cups. The beach out back is mostly rocks, so bring water shoes for easier walking. Be sure to bring extra trash bags and paper towels. The outdoor grill worked great, and the house came with a huge supply of filtered water jugs (though there's nothing wrong with the lake water, it does have that sulphur-y smell, and the water pressure is low). Two kayaks and a canoe, two fire pits, and a back patio were enjoyed greatly by us, as well as the ease of access to the mainland and the dockside restaurants and bars that we could pull up to right on the motorboat that was provided. Thank you again Martha, and the Blue Heron, for making our weekend so enjoyable!

Best hosts ever
I read a lot of reviews before I chose this property, and I really got what I expected. Scott and Martha are above and beyond. They’re super nice people and also really dedicated hosts both before and throughout the stay. The location is unbeatable. The cottage is nice, but don’t expect perfection. As others mentioned the toilet doesn’t flush well, and the house could use a bit of work here and there. Since we were prepared for that we were not really bothered by it. The hosts, the views, the upstairs bedroom on the lake side(!!!) more than made up for it. There were 6 of us, 4 kids 2 adults, and we never felt crowded at all. We definitely plan to return.

Relaxing Weekend
During our stay, we had ideal weather the entire time. The location was great for my wife/I, as we enjoyed the bay on one side of the property and Lake Ontario on the opposite. We watched several eagles while sitting in our beach chairs. The sunsets each evening were a real treat to observe. Martha was helpful with answering any questions about the property and area. Would love to come back again. This time we would stay for longer than 3 days. Thanks Martha and Scott!

We love the experience of the big lake on one side of the cottage and bay on the other! We are water people. Scott and Martha’s cottages give you the feel of tropical ocean and lake living all in one! Martha went out of her way to give a special gift for my daughter for her second visit for her 21st birthday! Great people!

It was an excellent stay. The sunsets were gorgeous on the lake and the mornings were perfect for kayaking in the bay. Beds were comfy and had enough room for our family of 8. The only problems were shower and the toilet. The shower has only hot water, it was fine for me but was too hot for my children so we filled a tub and let it cool for them. The toilet had problems flushing but it worked. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a hammock up due to covid but I always have my own anyways so we still had one. Overall I would recommend this property and would return.

Cottage with a view!
Scott and Martha’s Blue Heron property is wonderful. The location, with the bay in your backyard, and the lake in your front yard was beautiful. The cottage is generally as advertised. It was clean and functional albeit very basic. The water was hot for showers and the washer and dryer were handy. The beds were comfortable and the room size ample. There were multiple fans in the property yet most of them did not work, making for some steamy nights. While there were screens on all of the windows/doors, they did little to keep out the gnats or mosquitos so bug spray is a must during the summer. We took advantage of the provided kayaks, canoe and skiff to get us around the bay. It was a wonderful and relaxing vacation. It would have been nice if some items could have been provided with the property (especially given that we had to bring bedding, towels, plates and silverware due to Covid 19 health restrictions). These could include, new bath/hand soap, bug spray, and fire wood (there were 2 great fire pits that we didn't use because the process of going to get wood was difficult). These items would have provided a nice touch but certainly didn’t diminish our stay. We would definitely return to Blue Heron cottage!

Heaven an hour away from home
The best location ever! We spent all day sitting on the lake side, basking in the rays and listening to the tide. The kids swam in the lake multiple times a day. We had perfect weather which made it so much better. If you walk far enough out into the lake there is a wonderful sandy bottom (no seaweed at all). The bay side was great for fishing. Get out there by 6 am and the fish are jumping into your boat. We had access to a 14' metal boat for the week, which we used to go to a couple of restaurants and explore the bay. We ate at Pier Fifty Three (5 stars) and Skippers Landing (3 stars). We also ate in a couple nights and the kitchen provides everything you need. The house provided us with exactly what we needed, a place to sleep at night. Nothing really good or bad about the place per say, but you cannot beat the location! 8 solid places to sleep people. It was clean when we got there, but if you are anything like me, bring your own cleaning supplies. I wish I hade brought along some clorox wipes. The plumbing was a little iffy, but I giess that is to be expected when your house is on an island. We kayaked and canoed. The week went by too fast. Cannot wait to visit again. Scott and Martha are great hosts.
