Love the Location

We love staying at Bay View Bungalow. This was our third stay at this bungalow and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. Location is perfect it is close to everything. We love walking out and being able to see the bay across the street. The flowers are so beautiful.

Cozy cottage

I loved this little cottage. It was beautiful. The bed was comfortable. The only negative was the lack of a comfortable place to sit in the living room. The location is wonderful and the view was great from the windows.

Great location

The setting is beautiful. The house could benefit from some updating. While the living room and bedroom were fine, the bathroom and kitchen need a major overhaul. For the overall costs, there could be better accommodation

Great location

The bungalow is not attached to the main house and is one of a few bungalows on the property. This particular bungalow has the best view of all bungalows, as you have a beautiful view of the pier. Very clean, half mile from the shops/boutiques. I would absolutely book again, but I would bring an extra blanket for the fold out sofa. There are 2 coffee makers, pods and traditional. Coffee pods are provided. Owner very responsive, as I had questions about the Roku tv.

The community is absolutely charming! It was the ideal size for us and the view was incredible. The assistance and availability by the agents was above what I was expecting. They were so helpful and genuinely caring. It was exactly what we needed to reset ourselves and clear our minds. It could not have been any better! Thank you =)

What a nice place to spent a couple of nights. Short walk to down town area and beautiful views of the bay just across the street. Make sure you take time to fully appreciate the sunsets.
