Bay Tree
We stayed at Bay Tree many times in the last 30 years.This visit was the first time in over 8 years and we were impressed with how well the property has been maintained. Better shape now than 20 years ago.

Great view and location
The condo is really nice. Typical of island properties it sows some weathering but seems to be well maintained. For our 3-night stay it was perfect. We loved watching the ships move through the channel, and the dolphins! The beach is about ½ mile walk and The Donut Palace even less! Would stay again!
