Great place to stay if you love the beach!

Friendly hotel staff, very clean, however a little dated for my taste but loved the beachside! Complimentary breakfast had a good selection of food. The only negative was the shower had no water pressure, we mentioned to the staff upon checkout so hopefully they take care of that.

Although the rooms are a little dated, they are comfortable. The property is clean and well-kept. The staff is very friendly and helpful with plenty of suggestions of things to do and places to eat. The pool and hot tub are nice. The workout room is adequate and the included breakfast is standard fare at most American hotels.

The location is excellent if walking to the back of the property and looking at sailboats is your thing. Many rooms also have balconies with similar views. Strong breakfast for being continental. Good sized rooms and extremely clean, especially the pool area.

The Bayshore may be a little vintage, it is perfect for us! We’ve stayed several times in the fall. It is an easy walk to town if you’re able. The shuttle is convenient for longer distance destinations. Always clean, staff is friendly and it’s to good to see employees who have been with Bayshore for a long time! It says a lot about the management!
