North Bay Inn

8/10 Good

"Great little coffee shop right next door. Room was clean. Good location."

Bayfront Oasis | Deck, Fire Pit, Kayaks – Near Wine Country

10/10 Excellent

"The property is impeccably maintained. There was a notebook waiting in the foyer, and that helped answer any questions. Timothy was responsive when we had trouble with the keyless front door lock. Be assured that it's easy to use and the trouble was user error. I was the user erring. :-) There is a lovely park across the street, and upon arrival we wondered if the noise would be disturbing. It was not. At all. Once in the door, it was quiet inside. And the park turned out to be a bonus. We loved strolling there.The living room, den, kitchen, dining room, and primary bedroom all have views of the canal. The back deck is huge and has its own attached dock. The deck is open,, with two covered areas and umbrellas. It is well-appointed with cushioned chairs, lounges, dining table/chairs, firepit, and a gas grill. There are kayaks, a SUP board, and fishing poles, It was easy to walk the kayaks to the attached dock, and chairs to enjoy coffee on the water.Back to the home. Spacious. Light. Airy. Comfortable, Tastefully decorated with beach and boat elements, perfect for the location and style of the home. The upstairs primary offers privacy, with an en suite bath is upstairs, The downstairs guest rooms suited two of our adult children spent a couple of days to celebrate a birthday.Although my profile makes it look as if this is our first VRBO (my original profile was gone), we have rented many properties over the years. We can say from experience, this one is a winner!"
