I was leary about staying on the bay side as we have always stayed on the Gulf Front side, but can I just say for the record, A Littie Slice of Heaven on the Bay, should be the name of this retreat! My family loved it and so did I!!! It had everything we needed and more! We never used the Kayaks, just didn’t have enough time, but seeing the look on my niece’s face when she pulled that crab cage up out of the bay with all those crabs in it was priceless indeed!!! She had always wanted to catch crab!!! lol The beds were all comfortable, everything was clean and stocked! The walk over to the beach side was no more than 5 minutes, as someone else said, but my husband was nice enough to drive us to unload all our stuff, since we were fishing and had all our gear, and then drive back and walk back over to where we set up on the beach. He said the walk was not far at all. Our sweet pup-pup, Rocxy, loved it there as well as she seemed right at home! Especially in the mornings sitting out on the deck watching the bay in all it had to offer. Thank you so much for sharing your “Little Slice of Heaven” with our family. We throughly enjoyed our time in your home, Bayview, and we will definitely be keeping it in our thoughts for future visits!
