Heart of the Bay is a great family escape. We went in the off season and it was very quiet and calming. There was plenty of space for everyone and we loved that our fur baby could join too.

We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the feedback.
This was a very nice place for a few family members from several different states to join together and share the Christmas holiday. It was clean, it was equipped with all necessities and the property owner responded in a timely manner I would visit again.

Vera,
We are delighted to know you and your family enjoyed their stay! Thank you for the feedback!
We stayed from Sunday to Thursday and enjoyed every day in the resort. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We had plenty of space and the beds were clean and comfy. The resort only offers the minimal of what you need upon arrival so I would recommend bringing your coffee staples, condiments, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. We are looking forward to coming back soon!
