The two greatest things about the Bay Resort are its location and the feeling of being in a tiny resort and that the staff are all very friendly and helpful. They sincerely welcome visitors and do all they can to make everyone happy and comfortable. We go twice a year and always look forward to it so much!

We loved our stay. Our room overlooked the bay, and the views were gorgeous. The property was so relaxing. The room was clean. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The location is PERFECT- you can relax on your balcony with the water and the sunsets but then steps away be at the local bars to see bands and have some drinks. We will definitely be booking again!
