Would highly recommend!
Loved our week long stay. Would recommend to anyone. Here are the cons: There needs to be a new screen door placed as it did not close all the way and ants can easily get in. Someone dropped off ant traps while we were there so this is a known issue. I wish there was instructions on how to use the TV as we had a rainy day and would have liked to have used it but never got it to work. The listing stated coffee and towels were provided. No coffee and no beach towels though there were plenty of bath towels. Where you have to park is a stones throw away. Only a con as when we arrived it was raining and had a lot of things to carry in. Beach was great, perfect for swimming. Kayaks were wonderful. Place was very clean. No other cons, plan on staying there again!!

Excellent Spot and Utility Mostly
Other than the TV going dark on day 2 (and not coming back), and internet being temperamental, the location is spectacular and unit well organized. If only we had planned for the TV/Internet.

Beautiful Setting
The setting was gorgeous .Cottage was spotless. Enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water. The water was very clean and we saw loons and an eagle. Excellent restaurants were very close and everyone we interacted with was very friendly. Overall a lovely fall getaway.

What a great getaway
I haven't taken a vacation for myself in such a long time, and Bayside Sunshine was just the ticket. I loved that the property was nestled on the corner of Leavitt Bay, and we did not have any neighbors the entire weekend! I basically lived in the hammock. And the views...I mean, it was all so breathtaking. Really - I could go on and on about the views, but I digress. There were just a couple things I wanted to mention about the property. I was a little nervous about cleanliness because I feel like lake houses have a reputation for being a bit dirty and unkept, but this place was pretty well-maintained. We did find a couple dead bugs in the kitchen and on one of the beds, but that's it. The bugs on the outside, however, were relentless at times! FYI for those wanting to go around this time of year...bring your repellent! Most days the lake was not too bad with boats and jet skis, but the weekends can be a bit noisier. Just an FYI. I was pleasantly surprised about all the things that came with the place, especially the kitchen - fully equipped! I wish there had been like 1 or 2 more rolls of toilet paper for the bathroom and maybe 1 or 2 more trash bags, but no big deal to get some more. We had a bit of trouble with the wifi and the TV in the beginning, but when all else fails, turn the devices off and on again! I had also read the past reviews about the beds being super uncomfortable, but these beds were great! Not one complaint about them. Slept very well and was able to keep cool as well. Communication-wise, if you need to get in touch with the company while you are there, calling or texting the number they provide worked well for me. Beforehand, however, I could not get much communication, but it all turned out ok. If I could pick one thing to pass onto the management company, however, it would be the front slider screen door. That thing was terrible. It kept coming off of its tracks no matter what we did and was difficult to manage every day. All in all, this was a great stay and I've gone into full post-vacation depression. Thank you so much - I will absolutely be back in the future when I need another escape!

Private getaway
If you are looking for peace and tranquility this is the place for you. It’s located right on the lake and the private beach was amazing, the water was clear and amazing swimming. The cottage was a little small but enough for my spouse and I, any more people and it would have been a little crowded. The communication with management was a little rough, we were not really sure where to park our vehicle or dispose of our trash, our tv was not working on day one and after attempting daily communication with management it was finally fixed after 3 days. I would definitely rent this cottage again for the privacy, swimming and the amazing lake views, that’s exactly what we needed.
