We loved Old Bay! View was amazing from all rooms!.. we cooked every night and kitchen was fully stocked. We fished for trout and red fish during the day and gigged flounder in the evenings. Will definitely be back!

Amazing

We came in as Hurricane Idalia came through. The property manager at Forgotten Shores (Jamie) was amazing. She did whatever she could to get us settled. She kept in contact with me, and updated me on her concerns and time frame. The house was wonderful. There was some flooding around the property but that did very little to dampen our good time! The house is close to public beach access, but we had to drive for any food. Of course, the seafood there is worth it!

Bay-tacular!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Old Bay is absolutely beautiful & the furnishings & decor made us feel right at home! Location is perfect! It is very well maintained & clean. We really enjoyed having the icemaker and extra fridge. The views are breathtaking! The variety of bayside birds, including two bald eagles, the dolphins, jumping mullet, gliding shark, stingrays & crabs graced us each day. We loved fishing from the dock & caught several red fish, a couple flounders & a trout. It was such a pleasure to sit out on the dock & enjoy the beauty of it all! The sunsets were spectacular! We appreciated the ease of being able to launch our kayaks from the bay beach. The short peaceful walk to the Gulf beach access was awesome & the walk to the Cut was so beautiful. We fished the Cut & catching a 37" bull red was incredible. Forgotten Shores Team were very accommodating & the beach gear credit is a great extra. We made very special, loving memories and look forward to returning next year! Thank you!

Great stay! A few suggestions

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean and very nice for our family. No complaints about the actual house other than the squealing/screaming pipe in the master closet wall at night, and the door being very sticky and hard to open/close from the master room to the living space. Apart from that it was fantastic! The dock was awesome for watching wild life and fishing, but I highly suggest the owners put a railing on at least one side of the walk way. It was very hard for some to make it up and down. However, It was nice for getting the kayak and paddle board in and out. It was also incredible to watch dolphins and rays pass by. There are fish that jump OUT of the water all afternoon and evening if you pay attention! You can even see it from the big windows in the living room. If you are a fisher, after sun down it is a cat fish bananza so bring gloves and pliers to avoid getting barbed. The bay beach was very fun and full of wild life! Shore line covered in hermit crabs big and small, snails and clams galore at low tide, and so much more. I do also want to note to anyone unfamiliar to the island, it is about 20 minutes drive from the house into the store front area of the island, and is very far back into the plantation itself which is large, about a quarter of the island, so I recommend this for a group or family looking to really get into the nature of the island. If so, it is GREAT!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Home was very nice, very clean, plenty of room for our family of 4. Kitchen was well stocked. The dock was great for catching a few keepers and the sunsets were beautiful. Nice short walk to the beach or the cut. It was a little chilly so we didn't use the pool but looked great. Will come again.. Jamie and her staff are quick to respond if needed.

Sitting on the dock of Old Bay watching the tides roll away!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful stress free relaxing experience. Many catch and release fish were caught and some were photo worthy. The only downside (if there is one) is the lack of a railing on the dock. Would highly recommend Old Bay. We will definitely be returning to our new favorite place.

Sitting on the dock of Old Bay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a wonderful home! We loved the location all the way at the end of the Plantation near Bob Sikes Cut. The walk to the beach was approx 2 blocks, about 5 minutes, and very easy. I pulled our beach wagon over every morning and it was a breeze. Our 9 and 12 yr olds loved the house! The walk to the Cut was well worth it for the beautiful sunsets. But the convenience of having a dock to walk out on every morning for coffee, and every evening for cocktails made it hard to even leave the house! We caught a ton of redfish right from the dock in the mornings. We will book this house again next year!

Nice stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Old Bay is a comfortable home in a great location in the Plantation and directly on the edge of the bay with private dock. Walk to beach and proximity to Sikes Cut were excellent. The pictures of the home are accurate with a new kitchen and spacious and comfortable living room where we could all gather in the evening. Beds were comfortable. Minor issues: 1. The A/C struggled to keep the upstairs cool during the afternoon. It was fine at night. The main floor was cool at all times. 2. The view from the main living space was largely obstructed by palm trees. 3. We were disappointed that the second, larger, Plantation swimming pool was closed for maintenance during our stay.

The secret gem

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I waited to respond to this until I booked my 2nd stay at Old Bay; afraid when the word gets out all dates will be taken. We are happy for now that our family are the only ones to know what a beautiful home Old Bay is. The pier and dock complete this home. The fishing is endless or should I say catching from the dock is amazing. Water to table eating is the absolute best. Lots of reds, mullet, trout, black drum, sting ray, catfish, glass minnows, sheepshead, pinfish, porpoise, fiddler crab, horseshoe crabs, and blue crabs. Nothing better than fresh fish off the dock steps from the house. Two refrigerators so nice. This home was super clean, really clean. Fully equipped kitchen was very nice. Under the home was super clean with great grill area and outdoor shower. Loved the sandy beach area this home offers. There is never dull moment at Old Bay from watching all the boats and yachts coming and going from the cut. This home is very, very close to the cut. Fishing and paddle boarding and kayaking was very cool. Nature abounds at this home. Literally two and a half minutes from Old Bay is the gulf for a day at the beach or walk down to Bob Sike's Cut for wonderful fishing and meeting folks from all over the U.S. and beyond. Just a really beautiful home with a super warm feel. Two beautiful decks for reading, eating or mesmerizing view of the bay as far as the eye can see. All of us showed up for the unforgettable sunsets every evening. So, if that wasn't enough, there is the Plantation amenities: pool, gym, tennis and bike paths. Surprising to us, you can sit on the front porch or under home and listen to the waves from the gulf side. Five stars for property managers, Jamie for taking great care of us and the wonderful folks who work so hard to make sure this beautiful home was super clean and comfortable.
