This place is ideal for a family group. It's been renovated but still needs a lot more attention. Setting on the Bay is gorgeous and proximity to restaurants and other entertainment is great.

Another Great Stay and Another Great Fishing Trip

This was mine and my dads second year staying at this cozy property for our company fishing trip for us and some associates. It was a great time at this awesome property once again. Nice, clean , comfortable place to relax after a long day of fishing. We look forward to visiting again next year if at all possible.

We had a nice stay. Unfortunately, Hurricane Helene shortened our stay a few days. House was spacious and yard was perfect. Excellent location for access to fishing. Thomas (Host) was very accommodating and quick to respond.

Quiet stay near the bay

Spacious house with great location near the beach, restaurants, and local attractions. The kitchen had everything that you need to cook a meal in as well as plenty of seating for take away food. The living room was had comfy furniture for relaxing in the evening and watching tv. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of linens. Would stay again.

Fishing and crabbing!!

We enjoyed our stay at this old Florida style home right on the bay. Great time fishing from our kayaks and were able to launch in front of the house. Caught crabs in our traps and fished from shore. Easy communication with owner. The house was comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen! Wish we could have stayed longer!

We never wanted to leave

This house was everything we were looking for! It has an extra large kitchen with tons of prep area. The house was much bigger than the pictures make it seem. The beach area was nice, not clear water, but our grand daughters loved it. Having the kayak was a nice bonus. We will definitely be renting this on the future.

Thank you for your review and staying at bay dreamin. I am glad you enjoyed it and I would enjoy having you back. I just opened some of the counter space so I am happy with the extra prep area. I keep trying to upgrade and improve the house. Look for more updates in the future.

Serene

We enjoyed our stay. The kids had fun in the water during high tide. Low tide was muddy but it was fine that forced us to take a break from the sun. We enjoyed the yard and the shade & the fire pit. We did buy a kiddie pool to put at the door to wash the sand off our feet & I recommend that to keep the sand out of the house. We left it for the next guest to use. Overall it was great and we enjoyed our stay.
