I would avoid angola--because the beach is dirty/cruddy/deadfish slime ridden.I would go for Canada first....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB27 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 A little further, but much nicer than Lake Erie...... Take a look at the Finger Lakes, Canandaigua, or Keuka are beautiful. www.fingerlakes.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#41 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I was just looking today. A couple buddies want to grab one for a few weeks, just a hard time finding even a web site that lists locations in places like Angola. I did come across http://www.findrentals.com Most of the properties listed come with pictures/rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 http://www.virginiasbeach.com/ The site above is a cottage rental/campground thing...I don't know much about it, but I remember coming across it a few days ago. Like someone else said...the Finger Lakes region is much nicer in the summer than Lake Erie. I love Erie, but the Finger Lakes region just seems cleaner and everything. I am a college student who just moved up here to the Finger Lakes region, but I have a family cottage in Ripley on the shore of Erie, so I know both areas pretty well. Chautauqua is pretty boring.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Aah...sherkston.... Anybody else ever go there and camp on the beach and walk from party to party / bonfire to bonfire??? As an 18 year old, those were good good times. 285112[/snapback] Yeah, I had some good memories of Sherkston as well...until I tried to go back in 1996. I decided to bring my whole family to this fun beach where I used to hang out. My first shock came when the admission was something like $20 per person!!! Well it's a bit steep, but what the heck...we drove a long way to get there. Well once in the park, we drove looking for a space to park and throw our towel down...and we drove...and we drove. 45 minutes later, we covered every square inch of the beach only to discover there wasn't a postage stamp square of beach left to enjoy! So I went back to the office and asked for a refund...and they refused. I was livid. They charged me $60 to drive around their oversold private beach. I accused them of deliverately overselling admissions to rip people off. They laughed at me. So that's my last memory of Sherkston Beach. They may have ripped off in 1996, but I will have my revenge if I can keep any of you from going there. But if you do go, the manager was some Aussie wanker. If he's still there, tell him he's a freakin' A-hole. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'm not going to be a lot of help here, but west of the major finger lakes there are some smaller lakes. We always called them the bably fingers when I leved near there. Conesus lake is small and pleasant, and probably less expensive. I like Keuka Lake. I think that's cleaner than Canandaigua which is built up more. There are other lakes further east. Seneca is the largest. I've been to a beautiful camp on Owasco lake, but that was in March, so I couldn't get a good feel for what the lake was like in warm weather. I'm at the north end of Chautaqua Lake now. Great Muskie and walleye fishing. Findley Lake in the extreme western end of NY is a pleasant vacation spot and lots of houses/cottages for rent. It's a sleepy little town, but you're not too far from Chautauqua Institution or the City of Erie, PA if you need to shop or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Why Lake Erie Robert? You live in a great state. WI is so pretty. Why not head north to the Apostle Islands or into the UP? I always wanted to see Isle Royale in Lake Superior. The Boundary Waters would be great, if not rustic. Or else... You can just take the skip into the middle of the state and do the WI Dells!... ONLY KIDDING! Anyway, good luck in finding something nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still Remember my first rides on the Giant, and then the Comet roller coasters with my Dad. Good times....good times... Nothing like good old Kenmore day at Crystal Beach ........sigh....

Nothing like good old Kenmore day at Crystal Beach ........sigh.... 285544[/snapback] We used to go to Kenmore day every year, they still sell the suckers (Halls) in and around the area. We still have a cottage up there near Crystal Beach (ours is in Ridgeway) but its a mile from the beach. There are plenty of rentals on the beach in Crystal beach, just hit some of the real estate websites for the area. most rentals are about 600-700 for a week on the beach, a little cheaper if you go off the beach. I'd offer ours, but the family takes turns and I have no idea what the availability is, plus my sisters will immediately say the week you wanted is the week they were thinking of going, happens to me all the time.
