Wonderful Getaway!

My family had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. It has all the comforts of home. The view is amazing! We enjoyed watching the wildlife and walking the trail down to Bay City State Park. Restaurants, groceries and shopping are a short drive away. We also enjoyed touring the U.S.S Edson. Overall, a great little vacation!

Relaxing stay

We booked this house on the bay to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and enjoy the trails and state park nearby. We were happy with the house. It isn’t large, but it was comfortable for our small group. The water was too cold to enjoy, but the views were nice. The state park was easily reached by just a short walk along the beach.

Race Weekend Stay

Beautiful home and property in a safe neighborhood. My family and I felt right at a home away from home while staying in Bay City for my St. Patrick’s Day race. HUGE bonus we could bring our dogs, more listings should offer this. My husband even said shortly after we checked in “when are we coming back to stay this summer?!” Thank you again for offering this wonderful stay.
