Beautiful, Peaceful Property

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Spacious enough for 6 adults and 3 children. Bay access from the back yard, beautiful fire pit setup with seating, and awesome hot tub. Perfect for a week of relaxation.

Truly a Dream

This house exceeded all expectations! Our family of 7 visited the gulf coast for the very first time on a lark for Christmas. We didn’t know what to expect, but were open to a new experience. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we had to be dragged out, we felt comfortable and at home. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how wonderful this house is - to its cozy bedding, its well-appointed kitchen, or to its priceless views - this house has everything. We wanted to move in permanently. Being able to kayak for a sunset paddle or fish from the dock at sunset was amazing. No detail was left undone. We would absolutely recommend Baydream - and hope to come back!

BEAUTIFUL house on the bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We cannot say enough good things about the house and the location. It is breathtaking! The home is well appointed, and very comfortable. It was our first visit to Port St Joe, and we will be back for sure! Our family of 9 (including toddler twins) was very comfortable and there was plenty of room for us all. The water wasn't as clear as we had hoped it would be, but there had been a LOT of rain prior to our visit and with the fresh water feeding in, it was murky, but we still enjoyed it (even Mexico Beach gulf water wasn't the usual). Pool was very nice and had beautiful views too.We will definitely be back!

Christmas Fun on Forgotten Coast

Beautiful spotless and nicely furnished house in great neighborhood. WiFi very weak in main house, non existent in mother-in-law suite. Poor lighting in back of house making it difficult to use grill after dark and making it unsafe to use stairs in back of house after dark. Kitchen has everything even a gourmet chef would need. Extra Downstairs frig was bonus. Wish the amenity list was more accurate so we didn’t bring bulky items such as beach wagon that was already at rental house. Mother-in-law apartment smelled like smoker had stayed there and lack of blinds at apartment door entrance did not allow for privacy.

Ants

We had ants in the master bedroom. The internet was slow and the cable did not work at any point during our stay.

Great home for a large family vacation

House and description were on point! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space or be together. House was equipped with all the necessary items, never thought “I wish the house had this…” The elevator came in handy as one of our family members was in a serious accident prior to the vacation. There is quite a bit of construction in the private gated community; it wasn’t noisy but took away from the beauty of the area. House could use some more detailed cleaning/refresh (ceiling lights dusted, lightbulbs replaced, weeding around the house and back patios). Community pool is very small and deepest area was 4 foot, it wasn’t busy and worked for us when we needed a change from the beach. Public gulf beaches are a short drive away - 10 min to Mexico Beach or 30 min to Cape San Blas. House had a beautiful view of the bay and we took advantage of it - lots of fishing and paddle boarding just out the back door.

Perfect week

This was our second time at Baydream and it was another perfect week. The house accommodated 4 adults, 1 teenager, and 2 little ones, along with a fur baby, with room to spare. Super clean and location is fantastic. Plenty of kitchen supplies and small appliances. The neighborhood is quiet and full-time residents are friendly. Walking trail that ends close to the pool was great. The hot tub was used everyday and was nice to have when bay waters were rough or chilly. We rent kayaks and SUP and are able to access the bay easily. We plan to return again. This place is perfect! Thanks again!

Dream on the Bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was exactly as described, maybe better ! Upon arrival, the kayak, paddle board, and bicycles were delivered and waiting on us. Yes, there really is an elevator. This made moving in so much easier. The back yard was very large and my favorite thing, the fire pit, is such a fun way to end the day. Not mentioned in the description, the lower level is the ideal place to leave your fur baby while you go out and enjoy one of the great dining options. The carriage house is a bonus to the sleeping accommodations. The preteens in our group certainly enjoyed having their own space on the top floor. They had their on sofa and tv allowing them to watch tv of their choosing while the adults were watching the news on the main floor. The master bath was definitely a dream with a huge walk in shower and a spa tub. There are biting insects in the area making the screened in porch a perfect place to enjoy the landscape. I would definitely return to this dream home for a future family vacation.

Beautiful House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The House was even more beautiful than the pictures. It had plenty of room for multiple families; plenty of room to spread out or spend time together. We all agreed it was functional as well as beautiful. The upstairs living room was great to have a second hangout space. The back yard and little "beach" was great when we didn't feel like loading up to drive to the beach. There was a sandbar that was perfect for kids to play on. Lots of shells (and crabs). The pool was never crowded and an easy walk from the house. The only negatives was the amount of construction - the whole neighborhood felt like it was under construction - a constant flow of construction workers took away a little bit of the magic of the beach/house. We also had an issue with the fire alarms.. they kept going off with no fire. Luckily the company was great about sending someone how to help... the maintenance man was great (which was great because he had to come three times).

Want to give 5 stars

Even though I would love to give this property 5 stars we had a few issues. House was not cleaned prior to our arrival, remotes for TV’s upstairs were missing, carriage house doesn’t get WiFi, and we had ants in the carriage house bathroom. Also, one night our fire alarms were going off all night. The property managers were quick to try to rectify the situations but for as much as we payed we were a little disappointed in those things. The house is great, the private little beach with low tide is great with small kids, and having the separate carriage house was nice as well. Store locations, other than grocery stores, were far so if you do have small kids I would recommend bringing gates for the down and up stairs. Even with all that aside I would rent again

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Baydream was an awesome home. It was perfect for our group of 8. Plenty of space for everyone, and lots of fun things to do (hot tub, basketball, ping pong). Cape and Coast was great to work with, and was responsive to any issues that came up. The Port St. Joe/Cape San Blas area is very underrated. Very peaceful and quiet, and beautiful! Overall a great vacation, 5 stars for everything!

Beautiful home with a gorgeous view

Baydream was exactly as advertised. Our rental was very clean, nicely decorated, and also included many extras (firewood for the fire pit, board games, ping pong table and corn hole boards). It was very spacious and accommodated our family quite nicely. The management team responded and resolved any questions/concerns that we had immediately. We will definitely be staying at Baydream again.

Great Vacation Getaway

Property is great, we were able to walk out each day and paddle board In the bay right from the backyard. The community pool is within walking distance and the view of the bay from the pool is awesome. We enjoyed sunsets from the pier.

Clay Family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Baydream is a beautiful house, we did have some issues it was really NOT cleaned the floors were the worst. And we had some maintenance issues but Holly got those corrected. I cleaned the floors. Dog hair was all over and we didn't have a dog and the floors were DIRTY. You might want someone to check the side of the house where the AC unit is the contractors working on the house next door told us a swarm of BEES were were making a hole in the side. It is outside the laundry room area.
