Perfection!

The hubby and I rented the top floor for a Monday-Saturday visit during the second week of September. First, the place was spotless, had everything we needed, and the view from the balcony was wonderful (and gave us protected viewing during a storm from hurricane Francine). Second, the timing of our visit was perfect, since it was mostly older tourists. There is a 4-story hotel next door, but that gave us more to watch as we sat on the balcony. Third, the beach is...well, literally right there. You have a private gate exiting the backyard, which puts you on the short wooden walkway, and you're on the beach! Also, it's centered between, and far away from, the condos, so this section of beach was pretty empty. Fourth, Al & Donna were wonderful hosts! She checked in on us during the big storm, and Al came over to help us figure out something technical with the TV. Just a great, relaxing visit, and I highly recommend this second floor rental!

Amazing

This property was amazing. It was directly on the beach with great views and in a good location. The beach was not crowded, made for a very relaxing trip. The owners are great to deal with and provided everything we could have needed. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a great experience.

Wonderful stay

Check in was great we all got to meet Donna, the owner and later her husband Al. They are as nice as can be and were helpful and responsive. The upper unit has an amazing view with plenty of seating on the deck. It was so clean and had everything we needed. Only steps to the beach! It’s a great location nestled in a small strip of beach made up of homes rather than high rises. This makes the beaches nice and quiet. I would recommend to anyone.

7th Year Anniversary Celebration

My husband and I loved our stay. The views are amazing and you couldn't beat the 40 foot step walk to beach. Donna and Al are warm, friendly and thoughtful hosts. They remembered our anniversary and showed up with a sweet surprise that morning. Donna and Al we're looking forward to staying in the cottage our next trip to PCB.

Despite the rain, we still enjoyed the beach. Sitting right on the front porch practically on the beach made it worth it. The accomodations were clean and well appointed.

Location amazing. Beach!

We had a wonderful stay! Literally steps to the beach and a beautiful beach view! Although some of the furnishings are older… We were very comfortable, and it was clean! The beds were comfortable and that is coming from someone who is super picky! And we could not have asked for better hosts!

Perfect Beach Get Away

We recently stayed at the Baby Bahama beach cottage. This cottage checked all the boxes for a wonderful 5 days! We were met by Donna upon our arrival. She was so welcoming and helpful by giving us information about local stores and restaurants! The cottage was perfect. It was very clean, comfortably furnished and right on the beach, as advertised! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony where the view was heavenly. We did not have any issues but we felt very comfortable that Donna and Al were only a phone call away if we had any needs or questions. We would definitely rent this cottage again!!

Bahama Beach 2nd floor cottage

Everything was so pleasant, clean, and peaceful. The views of beach and water at sunset are incredible. I stayed all week everyday and night was quiet and peaceful…until Friday night….it was very loud with vehicle noise, motorcycles and weekend parting beginning until around 2am. The owners have no control over this and I would absolutely recommend the stay, just be aware that on front beach the weekend may bring noise.

It was ok, fit the need

The property was mostly as reflected in the post pictures, with the exception of the significant buckling of the flooring. When we booked this property we knew it was nothing fancy. It was beachfront in the location we needed, which was the reason it was booked. The location in PCB is great and we loved the area. I'm not sure we would rent here again but will in the area. As mentioned by other reviewers, the road behind the house was loud with traffic, music, etc. until PCB's quiet ordinance goes into effect, and then it was fine, pretty quiet actually. We don't have small kids that go to bed early so the noise wasn't an issue for our family. Another thing that another reviewer noted we agreed with, there is no window covering over the master bathroom window. So at night the light coming in requires that the bathroom door be shut. Also, if the person showering is very tall they can plainly see outside so, obviously the people outside can see in since the road behind the house is higher than the house. As also mentioned in other reviews, the dishwasher doesn't seem to be installed properly but I'm not on vacation to be in the kitchen, so it wasn't an issue for us personally. The property owners are very into rules, mostly in the don't do this variety. You have this going into the rental agreement but, just know they are very invested in their property and really manage it as their own personal home. We had a minor issue with some of our child's friends from up the beach being on property, not to stay or use anything on site, just their presence. This apparently was very much against their rules. I didn't appreciate Al basically verbally attacking me and talking to me like I was a child. I said yes, they were here, and my husband and I would address it. Instead of him taking the conversation for what it was worth, he stalked the property (hoping to confront our teenage children we felt like) for 2+ hours. Once my husband saw him lurking around they had a discussion and there were no other issues. They have many cameras on the facility including one on the "private" balcony on the second floor. I totally understand the need to protect their investment but we felt the one on the balcony was a privacy violation. Again the property is mostly as presented in the post and does the job. Donna was great to work. She let us know the property was available early, reminded us about trash days, got our deposit back quickly, etc.
