This is our fifth time staying at ‘the bay house’. From our first stay, we fell in love with it! The gorgeous views and amazing attention to detail is unlike any house rental I have stayed at! Over the years, the owners have continued to improve upon the house with most recently, touches of local soaps and plenty of toiletries to keep us well stocked! I also appreciated the responsiveness of the rental company and really easing our way! I can’t wait to hopefully stay again some day, it has become a cherished family memory for us. Thank you for sharing your home!
