I haven't taken a vacation for myself in such a long time, and Bayside Sunshine was just the ticket. I loved that the property was nestled on the corner of Leavitt Bay, and we did not have any neighbors the entire weekend! I basically lived in the hammock. And the views...I mean, it was all so breathtaking. Really - I could go on and on about the views, but I digress.
There were just a couple things I wanted to mention about the property. I was a little nervous about cleanliness because I feel like lake houses have a reputation for being a bit dirty and unkept, but this place was pretty well-maintained. We did find a couple dead bugs in the kitchen and on one of the beds, but that's it. The bugs on the outside, however, were relentless at times! FYI for those wanting to go around this time of year...bring your repellent!
Most days the lake was not too bad with boats and jet skis, but the weekends can be a bit noisier. Just an FYI.
I was pleasantly surprised about all the things that came with the place, especially the kitchen - fully equipped! I wish there had been like 1 or 2 more rolls of toilet paper for the bathroom and maybe 1 or 2 more trash bags, but no big deal to get some more. We had a bit of trouble with the wifi and the TV in the beginning, but when all else fails, turn the devices off and on again!
I had also read the past reviews about the beds being super uncomfortable, but these beds were great! Not one complaint about them. Slept very well and was able to keep cool as well.
Communication-wise, if you need to get in touch with the company while you are there, calling or texting the number they provide worked well for me. Beforehand, however, I could not get much communication, but it all turned out ok.
If I could pick one thing to pass onto the management company, however, it would be the front slider screen door. That thing was terrible. It kept coming off of its tracks no matter what we did and was difficult to manage every day.
All in all, this was a great stay and I've gone into full post-vacation depression. Thank you so much - I will absolutely be back in the future when I need another escape!
