Mothers Day weekend
We had an amazing weekend with extended family this past Mothers Day weekend. The house was accommodating to our large party with kids ranging from 1yr to 16yrs old. Lots of family activities spacious rooms that were thoroughly clean upon arrival. We enjoyed the hot tub as well as the kayaks while taking in amazing views. Definitely recommend the stay our family loved it. We will be back!

Great Place with Amazing View
The location and views are amazing at this place. We saw herons, eagles, and so many birds. There was even a seal playing in the bay one morning. The house was very clean and had everything we need for a weekend stay. The hot tub was in good condition and the location on the deck was stunning.

Great stay
Our family of 6 had a great time at this house. We played in the water, in the sand and relaxed in the house and the deck. Fun to have kayaks and explore the waterfront. Check-in was easy and Samar was helpful and responsive.
A few housekeeping things weren’t fully done when we arrived but it didn’t stop us from having a great time.

My friends and I have been coming to stay at this gorgeous house for three years now each fall, and we absolutely love it here! Samah is a gracious and wonderful host. The location is secluded enough to make it feel like a relaxing retreat/getaway and the house is stocked with everything one needs to have a lovely and cozy time. We definitely plan to return!

Well earned 5 star reviews
This is a charming cottage with retro vibes in a beautiful and calming location. The listing description is accurate. The house was immaculate which is the primary concern for me. Wood burning fireplace made evenings very cozy. Coffee and tea bar was great. The host was very easy to contact and replied quickly. Because of personal circumstances we couldn’t use the hot tub which was a disappointment but would have loved to. Sitting on the deck overlooking the water was perfect. There were only two things I would have liked to have both minor . At night it was a little difficult to read in the main room because of the lighting. It was so cozy but maybe a floor lamp that could be used as a reading lamp would be nice. And wile the retro turntable was amusing there were only a few lp’s that we’re kind of beat up. Because there was no tv in that room a better source of music would have been nice. Given everything we would certainly come back because it had so many positives including ac.

Son’s wedding
Our son got married a short distance away from this fabulous getaway. We stayed three nights and it was the perfect place to relax and reflect after the festivities. Soaking in the hot tub with a cup of coffee the morning after the wedding was pure bliss! The home was comfortable for our family; very clean, bright and welcoming. The view is killer and the seal that said hello on the kayak ride was an added bonus. We can’t wait to go back!!

Fun summer time!
We really really enjoyed our stay. If you have t-mobile you may not have service, but they have wi-fi or you can walk up to the street to get service (we had to do that because we didn't get the right code for check-in). The other feedback was that there not foldable / plastic chairs to join the fire-pit or chill at the beach. But! EVERYTHING ELSE was excellent. I really love our stay and I would totally stay there again. They also charge a steep refundable deposit when you reserve, which it took me by surprise... but if you can afford it, do it!

Perfect Getaway
The cabin was perfectly located on the water with a grocery store nearby. The property is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and we had the most relaxing stay. My only comment is that there are no curtains in the living room/kitchen area, so if you are sleeping on the couch you will want to being an eye mask.

Daughter’s 18th Birthday Party
A beautiful house on the water that had all of the amenities that we could hope for my my daughter’s 18th birthday party. My daughter and her friends were happy with the stylishly retro look of the living room that overlooked the bay; they had many sessions of photoshoots in that room. The hot tub was greatly appreciated after a wonderful kayaking trip about the bay (we loved that kayaks were provided!). Everything was just so charming and cozy about the place and we could not have had a better experience.

Gorgeous riverside stay
Our stay in Lakebay was fantastic. Superb amenities with up to date materials made us feel as if we made the call on nearly every detail. My wife and one of our friends staying with us are not big coffee drinkers. Our rental already had a good variety of teas to choose from, without any request from us. Samah also made effort to accommodate our early access and late check out requests. Overall a gorgeous place to stay with a lovely owner. Thanks Samah!

Enchanting and magical
We absolutely loved our girls getaway vacation here. This was such I lovely home in every way. The beds, all of them, were super comfortable… And the house touches really made us be able to make this feel like a true home away from home. The kayaks, the oysters, the water, the Jacuzzi, the starry night… And her cozy fire all made it magical. We are coming back. We absolutely cherished our time at this hidden treasure. The host is a delight and was beyond helpful to us with the process of booking her place and rescheduling it! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful sanctuary.
