I stayed with my family with two young kids and we absolutely loved the property. The pool was incredible for young kids - warm and just the right depth to be fun! We also really loved the restaurant which provided warm blankets for our outside dining experience with the most incredible view! We would definitely recommend this property!

Our second stay at the Bayside in as many years. We were very pleased to see the Hotel has invested in itself with the addition of a beautiful private pool and a new deck area off the restaurant. Both holding spectacular views of the bay. Well done Bayside! We look forward to another relaxing visit.
