There are beautiful hardwood floors and 10 ft ceilings throughout. The eating area seats 16 and the kitchen serves 16. All the comforts of your home kitchen are present, including double oven, stove with bridge burner, counter appliances (even a waffle maker), barware and an extensive spice collection. The Great Room has a built-in surround sound system with DVD and CD capability and the coffee table pulls up to eating height for TV dinners or drinks and snacks.
The downstairs master suite has a lighted, coffered ceiling, whirlpool tub and separate glass enclosed deluxe shower with five showerheads and tiled bench. All rooms have ceiling fans with variable speed and lights with dimmers. A very large second master suite is upstairs, perfect for you, your in-laws or teens.
The garage has been converted to a private, air-conditioned game room and pet room (bowls, bed & toy, newspaper, and doggie pick-up bags provided), which leads out to the well-manicured corner lot with a pet fence encircling the entire lot (instructions, flags, and three collars provided). For the beach, you will find a deluxe beach cart, beach umbrella, two beach chairs, two boogie boards, a beach cooler, and beach bag with two beach blankets. There is also a second refrigerator in the garage for surplus beverages, crabs, watermelons, corn-on-the-cob, etc. Be sure to enjoy the local produce!
The house is located in the oval-shaped Commons neighborhood of the Bayside community. There are lit 4' wide sidewalks along every street in Bayside to safely enjoy. Grocery shopping for your week could not be easier or more enjoyable with the upscale Harris Teeter grocery store and pharmacy within the entrance to Bayside (be sure to get your $1 DVD rentals at the Redbox inside).
Activities open to the public in Bayside include: the Carousel (for kids of all ages), the custom Kids' Playground, and the Open Air Stage all at the Town Center at the Bayside Entrance; the bike path, nature trail, kayak and canoe launch, boardwalk, gazebo, and Assawoman Bay beach all at "the Point" where Bayside meets the Bay. A map of the community and additional Bayside literature will be posted inside the house.
If you purchase the Bayside Recreation package, you can use all the sports facilities (except the golf course). Within a short walk of the house will be the new pools for 2009 (main pool + baby pool). A longer walk will take you to Sun Ridge Recreation Center, with its 4,000 sq ft pool, kid splash zone, adult hot tub, snack bar, championship tennis courts, fitness center, basketball court, soccer field, and beach volleyball court. The pool time alone is worth the package deal, believe me.
This unique, too-good-to-be-true opportunity must be experienced! Please call today!

Map & Owner's Profile
Open, One Floor Pet-Friendly Living at Bayside
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Fenwick Island
We chose to buy in Bayside because we were impressed with the Carl Freeman builders and communities. We chose the Selbyville-Fenwick Island location to be near the beach, but also only 30 minutes away from Salisbury. It's also a 45 minute ride straight down Rt 54 from our former and current houses in Delmar.
The Unique Benefits at this Home
Our home at Bayside is all about relaxing. I enjoy walking the dogs anytime day or night along the lit sidewalks or playing with them in our own corner lot, while my husband enjoys the large screen TV and fireplace in the Great Room. For our renters, we have added a game room in the garage. There is a jetted tub and a deluxe five-headed shower to melt the stress away. There is space for everyone to be alone, yet there are gathering spaces large enough for all of you to be together. The grocery store and Starbucks at Harris Teeter is incredibly convenient and enjoyable--you'll find yourself going everyday as a pasttime. We look forward to taking our son on the Carousel and playground when he's older! And, there is something for everyone at the Josh Freeman Outdoor Stage: music, theater, and movies, all for free.
Our favorite beach to go to. Admission in 2007 (per car) was $4 (DE resident), $8 (non-DE). The park has: parking, lifeguards, restrooms,snack bar. Bring your own trash bag--you have to take your t
An excellent place to shop for all your needs. Use our VIC card ("Very Important Customer") for extra savings. If you need pharmacy assistance, ask for the pharmacist, Joe.
My husband, Mike's, personal favorite. An Irish themed restaurant located in Fenwick "Ireland," they say. Excellent and cheap seafood, great bar atmosphere. Half price happy hour specials.
The best liquor store around. No one under 21 allowed entrance. In the same shopping center as Smitty McGee's.
On Rt 54 and also on Williamsville Rd near the back (construction) entrance to Bayside. Bring your cash--singles and 5's, because both places usually have an honor system. We've tried tomatoes, wate

Owner's Map of Fenwick Island
My husband, Mike, and I have been married for three years and we now have a baby boy, Joey. After living in this home happily with our four dogs full time for two years, we have moved in with family in nearby Delmar to help with the baby. For a living, we rent apartments, houses, and trailers outside of Salisbury. We are therefore familiar with rentals, but this is our first VACATION rental, and it is a very personal labor of love for us. We love this house, this community, and this area.

This property is in its inaugural year of being a rental and we, my husband and I, the owners, are very excited! Completed in December 2006, the home was our full-time residence for two years. Much of our fine furniture and decorative touches, including artwork, still remain. Comments we have had from visitors and guests include: very bright, colorful, beachy-but-not-too-beachy decor; inviting open floor plan with tall ceilings, large crown and base moldings; plenty of room; great environment for entertaining everyone (including kids, teens, older people, pets, etc). We kept our four dogs in the heated and air-conditioned garage. The professionally-installed underground pet fence was perfect for all of them, even down to a 10-lb Pekingese. We even have a stubborn dog collar which worked for our 40-lb born-to-run bird dog. The garage was made into a game room after we left and is ready for play. Please come and enjoy our gem of a beach house! You will not be disappointed!
