Multigenerational Family Trip
Went to Sarasota for Graduation. Perfect home for 3 generations of family to stay. Beautiful property on a baby peninsula into the bay, island right across the way where birds came to roost for the night. Lovely to just sit and watch the bay, but also awesome pool and really enjoyed adding pontoon boat rental. Able to cook most meals at home. Great location for accessing Sarasota and Bradenton schools/restaurants/beaches but also didn’t have much desire to leave the house.

Paradise on the Water
Our stay which included teens, parents, grandparents and a friend was amazing! The house is perfect for our group of all ages…even better than the listing as you can never fully capture a gorgeous view in a photograph! The pool, fishing dock and pontoon boat rental made our stay adventure packed. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious for larger groups. The owner kindly extended our check-out time as we had a later flight and recommended some great places to eat. We all would absolutely recommend this property and are hopeful we can head back this way to stay again sometime in the future.

Incredible Family Vacation
We were a family of 9 ranging from 11-82 staying at the Bay House for a week. As a property manager in Maine, this was my first time on the guest side of renting and it's going to be hard to top; the home and property were simply incredible! Everything was clean, the views were amazing, and everyone had enough space to gather together or spread out and have some down time. The large windows and stone fireplace in the living room are gorgeous, and the large master shower/bath was definitely a favorite. Our 12 year old loved fishing off the dock for fish and for crabs. We rented the pontoon from the owner, he was great, so friendly and showed us where to navigate in the area and answered any questions we had. Can not recommend this property enough, the sunrises are just as good as the sunsets, and watching them from the pool and hot tub can't be beat! Hope to stay again in the future

Friends and Family Wedding weekend
We had a wonderful week at the beautiful Bay House retreat! The home was beautiful, the grounds were stunning, and the owners responded so fast when we needed anything. We are definitely looking forward to staying here again...hopefully in warmer weather when we can enjoy the gorgeous pool and rent the boat. They truly thought of everything and we could not have been more appreciative. We loved it!
