This place is in a great location, but is basically an older camp. The furniture is old, rickety, and dirty. The bikes are rusted and can’t be used. There was a boat parked in the boat lift the whole time we were there. We brought our boat since it was on the listing that we would have access to the lift. When we contacted Vacasa, after numerous follow ups, they eventually told us it was a liability and we couldn’t use it and denied having it listed, even though I provided proof that it was listed. The place was also filthy and they did nothing to rectify that. I would not rent through Vacasa again.

This was an awesome fishing getaway thanks to house on the bay. The views are spectacular with a touch of surrealness. The home was kept very well. It was clean, efficient and cozy. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked fully to our needs. Everything worked properly. I would most definitely recommend this house to anyone and I will definitely book it again for next year fishing trip. Speaking of fishing, we caught our share of fish on the dock will taking in the wonderful scenery!!!

Overall we had a great stay at the Bay House and would love to stay here again. Plenty of room for family to be together or have their own space. We spent most of our time on the dock or middle deck. Short drive to the beach. Perfect for a large family and dogs.

We LOVED this house! Not one negative thing to say about it. We had everything we needed. Caught fish off the dock, had friendly neighbors, and my son loved riding the bicycle. We would have chosen to stay here longer if it had been available. We will DEFINITELY be back again. Perfect location and amenities.

I can’t say enough about this little slice of heaven! We spent 5 nights here with our adult daughter and friend and her dog. We were all in love with this property, especially the decks! It was early in the season so we virtually had a private cove for kayaking (we brought our own kayaks.) one morning some dolphins joined my daughter on her paddle!
The beds are comfortable, shower water pressure is good, kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook, and everything is immaculate. There are tvs but we never turned them on. We read books, took walks (the beach is about 1/2 mile away) and played games that we brought.
It was the best do-nothing vacation ever and exactly what we needed. We will definitely rent this place again and again.

It was a wonderful location. Loved all the outdoor spaces to sit and relax.
The only thing we recommend is some Tupperware/Rubbermaid to store leftovers and a few more dish towels. We only had one:)
All is all…we truly enjoyed our stay.
Thank you!

The Bay House was perfect for our mini-family reunion. The house was very clean and well stocked and located in a quiet street. The back deck is perfect for pelican watching and if you are lucky the neighborhood blue heron will pay you a visit. We enjoyed biking to the beach on the bikes which were provided. Great place ! Looking forward to another visit.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bay House. It was the perfect location for our grandkids to kayak, jet ski, fish, and swim. Beautiful sunsets and amazing views from the front and back of the house. Very spacious house. Area under the house was an additional space for our family to enjoy with nice setting, porch swing, eating area, grill, and even an outdoor tv. Two bikes were available for us to ride. We can’t wait to visit again.

LOVED our stay at the Bay House
Brought our whole family for a quick get away and we were so excited when we walked in. The furnishings and decor were even better than what the pictures showed. Quaint, coastal and homey! The kids loved fishing off the home's dock, we all rode bikes that were furnished with the home and lots of walks on the beach. The location was extrememly convenient. The beds and linens were wonderful and comfy. Everything seemed new and fresh! Great attention to detail. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook a great meal. We didn't use it but there was also a Grill available.... and it was clean (my husband looked!) Washer and dryer were also nice to have to wash our beach stuff before we packed up! We had views of the Mississippi sound from our front door. And we enjoyed watching the sun come up in the morning from our deck! Overall experience was just what we needed and wanted and we will absolutely come back to The Bay house. We had a great experience with communication with the rental company and appreciated how easy the rental process was. Exceeded our expectations!!!
