Bay Breeze has a beautiful setting. The flower gardens around the pool are maintained to a high standard. You can enjoy looking at them from one of the numerous Adirondack chairs on the grounds. The resort has a small private sandy beach right across the road, with more Adirondack chairs for relaxing. The rooms are furnished with a table and chairs, microwave and fridge, in addition to what you'd expect in a hotel room. All very well maintained. Since the Bay Breeze is at the southern edge of Ephraim, it's relatively quiet - but not a bad walk to the shops and restaurants in Ephraim.

Property was very clean and nice. The only complaint we have is we had to change rooms mid stay so other people could move into our room. The problem we had was we got moved to the 2nd floor. My husband recently suffered from an accident and just got out of a wheel chair and we asked for a room on the first floor. The receptionist told us no and that it was only 18 steps he had to go up.

Beautiful place with private beach across street, however if busy time it would be too crowded.Did not like set up of room with double and queen bed as there was no couch or comfy chair to sit in. That said easy to walk to a few small restaurants and shops.

Nice

Nice room and nice view. Beach across the street and a pool/spa. They offer an option to request what you need which worked for us. In room coffee wasn’t the best, but there was a coffee place just down the street. Staff was professional, but not friendly. Can’t say this was my favorite place, but very nice
