This was our second stay at this beautiful condo! We LOVE the proximity to the pool! Our kiddos love the bunkroom, which is full of fun activities, and it is so nice that there is a queen mattress on the bottom of the larger bunk. The kitchen is well-stocked, they have tons of beach/pool towels (one less thing to pack), and the back patio is so nice with the protective net for the golf course. Jeff is super responsive and very accommodating. We look forward to next summer's stay!

The condo is very spacious and beautiful! Jeff was very responsive with questions we had upon arrival and during our stay. The location is close to the pool and beach and right on the first hole of the gold course. The shuffle board is a awesome... my husband and I loved playing! The condo is well stocked with all kitchen appliance you would need along with beach towels, extra sunglasses and other little extras that you may have left at home. My only critique would be the outdoor furniture... the couch is a bit small... something a little larger and more comfortable would be a great addition. I highly recommend this condo for your next vacation.

4th of July Vacation
Jeff’s condo was absolutely stunning!!! My kids never wanted to leave and wanted to live there forever! The room for the kids was unbelievable. They were living in a dream with all the fun bunk beds and two TVs. The shuffle board was a super fun addition, there were never ending board games played, and even lots of fun games for the back patio. We rented a boat slip and went boating a lot. While we were in the condo we enjoyed watching the many golfers go by. I must add this condo had every thing you could possibly need, if you forgot something, they had it!!! It was easy access to get around and you are right by the pool if you do not leave the resort. The beach was also a short 5 min walk or less around the corner. Jeff was always very responsive if I needed him with any questions that came up. I would HIGHLY recommend his beautiful condo to anyone. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and it was perfect for us all. We never once felt crowded. The layout is amazing :) We will be back in the future!Thanks again, Jeff

Great place!
The condo was awesome! Very nice and very spacious. Golf course, pool, restaurant, and pontoon rental were all very nice and convenient. Fully stocked cooking essentials in the kitchen were a nice touch. This place really has it all. The one downside was the strict community… we got scolded a couple of times from property management and condo owners about wristbands, snacks in the pool area being too close to the water, walking down the street “on the wrong side”, parking, etc. lol. It was slightly comical but also felt like we were always being watched as the “renters”.

Beautiful condo for a week with family
This condo is beautiful and very comfortable. It really has everything you need for a get away. The kitchen seemed to have anything you needed. The bedrooms were very comfy. Lots of extra bedding and pillows, beach/pool towels, etc. The bunk room is perfect for any mix of ages with single bunks and even a queen bed, along with a gaming system, two tvs, and fun chairs! Shuffle board was a hit and the cupboards full of games and activities. The netted patio was a great spot to spectate golf safely. Access to the garage was perfect for our bikes and pool/beach gear and the use of the grill. This location was amazing for pool usage (which we hit up everyday). Our host was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely book this condo again!

Great location right next to the pool at Northern Bay - great spot to watch golfers come in at hole #1 as well. House was clean except for the floors which were very dirty requiring shoes at all times. House was equipped with lots of amenities. Did bike around the property but no other bike paths around that we found. Pickleball/tennis was close as well. We would go back!

Softball getaway
This is our 3rd time staying in the area for the annual youth softball tournament in Adams and 1st time at Northern Bay. This was definitely the best! Northern Bay golf resort has everything that we could have asked for. The girls enjoyed the pool, lake and volleyball court. The adults enjoyed the golf course, tiki bar and club house! Our family has stayed at many vacation rentals over the years and this condo is definitely one of the best! It was clean, newly renovated, beautifully appointed and had everything that we needed for a fun weekend. The girls absolutely loved the bunk bed room with gaming console! We were a little concerned that they wouldn’t want to come home! A big thanks to the condo owners for going above and beyond for our stay! We’ve already rebooked for next yr!!!!

Great Property For A Little Secluded Getaway
The unit is very clean and updated and has literally every amenity you could think of. Even a little stash of extra sunglasses. Those little touches were charming. Shuffleboard in the living area was a hit! Bunk room was so fun for the kids and the laundry in the master suite was something I never knew I needed! Owner was quick to respond when needed. Was cool to see the golfers up close and personal from back patio. Super convinient location close to the pool and short walk to the beach. The food at the main lodge was amazing! Thanks for a great vacay!
