Waterfront Getaway on the Bay

We had a fantastic time on our trip. Everything was just how it was described.

Great place to stay only downfall is the traffic from nearby highway. It makes it hard to sleep. Enjoyed the view from the deck and the nearby beaches.

Our family of four staying three nights over the weekend was good. The back of the condo building faces the Bayville street so you'd have to lug your stuff around to the entrance of the building facing the waterfront. This unit is on the second floor with one other unit, large front deck with outdoor funiture, but most of the time we didn't see anyone. Unobstructed view of the bay and the private pier from our living room and the front patio was the best part. Condo was well stocked with coffee maker w/ coffee & filters, a microwave and a small convection oven, paper towels, toilet tissues, trash bags, pots, pans and other kitchen stuff. It has a full bath and a tiny 1/2 bath, which was a must for four of us. Second BR didn't have the AC but leaving the ceiling fan on with cool air from the other BR and LR worked for our girls. We loved having our dog around during our stay. I-64 traffic is pretty noisy but window AC noise drowned them out. Only annoyance was the LR AC being so loud that we couldn't hear the TV sound at night. A new quieter LR AC unit would make the stay definitely more enjoyable. Carpet in the BRs was also not so desirable bc our dog kept sniffing around. We were just glad we brought our slippers. Beach chairs and towels for the guests' use is very nice. The Willoughby beach and the Buckroe beach were great without the crowd. I must say we all had great time!

This 2 bedroom apartment is just what we needed during our brief couple of days in the tidewater area. Having it pet friendly was an added bonus. It was a little rocky start with the unit not quite ready by our 4 pm check in as the cleaning crew was still there when we arrived. The cleaning crew left tissue in the toilet and I went to flush and the toilet bowl overflowed. Yikes! Good news was they had a plunger, bad news was there was not mop. Note to owner....I suggest adding one. Overall the place was fairly clean and the location was great. Easy access in and out with ample parking. The noise level due to being so close to Rt. 64 did not bother us but others may not be so tolerable. The humming from the AC drowned out most of the sound and provided enough white noise. Window unit air conditioners in back bedroom and front living area only. The second bedroom was warmer but comfortable enough to sleep after running the AC for a while. The large lot next to the unit was a great place to play frisbee with my pup. The building itself seems rather old but the owner seems to have updated as best they can to make it bright and cheery on the inside. Luxurious? No. Comfortable and relaxing. Yes. It rained the whole time we were here and wished we could have enjoyed the nice outdoor furniture and beach chairs that were provided. Perhaps next time.

Arrived late evening, easy to find, great view. Comfortable beds, and linens provided. Very quiet, and other units had small family groups. Porch has plenty of room to relax, and evening breezes were nice. Lots of grassy area to walk/play with dog.

Solid surface floors and some furnishings appear recently updated. We did not cook meals, but kitchen is well-equipped for meal prep.

AC's did an excellent job of keeping unit cool when outside temp was 90 degrees.

Generous supply of paper goods for our stay. Brian is a responsive, and attentive host. Would rent from him again.
