First time staying on the bay
This was our first time staying on the bay as we normally stay Oceanside. Everything about the home was perfect. My daughter had a blast playing on the dock, catching crabs, and whatever else she could find. The only downside I will say is the bunkbed was very difficult to get into because the letter was not accessible on it. Very minor inconvenience for an overall amazing place to stay.

Convenient and just what we needed
When we arrived we had slight delay in check-in due to cleaners still being on site (only a few minutes behind). A was not left inside the property as mentioned in the breakdown after booking; however I was able to reach the manager/owner and he informed me he would take care of it- to just use the one in the lock box. Upon entered the premises we did notice that the bathroom sink did not drain properly so we opted to use the kitchen sink instead for brushing teeth, hand washing etc. The cleaning ladies could have put a little more effort into cleaning (wiping down areas that aren’t touched often) and areas like light switch that get touched frequently. I have a son with special needs and who gets sick easily so it’s important to us that a facility be super clean. So I took it upon myself to wipe the inside down as much as I could with disinfectant wipes. Overall the property was nice and as described in the listing. The view of the bay was perfect and we were in short walking distance of the beach! I would recommend this place to others - hopefully it will have a little more of a thorough cleaning next time we stay.

Nice place - biggest suggestion is that check in was late (4pm) and checkout was early (10am). It would make the experience much better to change checkin to 2pm and checkout to 11am. Also pier/deck for beach access was a mess - rotted wood with exposed nails. Obviously from hurricane damage however should be repaired by now

Christmas Bay & Beach Stay
We loved watching the sunrise on the deck and the screened in porch. We went for a long walk every morning. Ate most meals in the place. Every eve we went to a different place to see the sunset. We rented bikes it great riding to The park. On our last night we had a fire on the beach. We spent the rest of the time relaxing and reading. Loved our stay. We would stay here again!
