Bayfront studio with pools and dock - Snowbird-friendly

We loved Piates Bay! Close to the beach and a great pool. Would stay here again.

The stay was great. Cleanliness could have been better. Smashed roach on the sliding glass door, long black hair all over the bathroom floor, black out curtain is in need of hanging clips. Needed iteems in the room: hairdryer, towels for the pool or beach.

Very great place to stay for a few nights! Did kill 2 bugs right away but no problem after that.

The booking process was very easy and the communication was consistent. The pool was beautiful and so was the property! It was well worth the stay!

Very nice and great lovation

It was very relaxing, beautiful view and perfect size for me and my new husband to enjoy each other. Would stay there again!

The property was in a safe location. Restaurants within walking distance where delicious and there was a variety. The views from the balcony or beautiful. We enjoy the pool and walking out on the docks. It was a little tight for us. I was traveling with my teenager and 10 year old. There was not real room to open the sofa bed for my teen without impeding walkways but he was fine sleeping on the couch. Extra towels would have been helpful especially considering I do travel with children and they are not always careful about getting water on the floor. When I requested extra towels I was told that would not be possible. Otherwise we enjoyed everything and the property met my expectations.

The small unit was filthy! My husband found a large “chunk” of who knows what under the dresser; the carpets were so dirty and stained we would not walk without our sandals; and there was mold and mildew around the tub. The smell was disgusting, the mattress was horrible, and the “kitchen” was tiny, dirty, and severally understocked. The only positive was the bay and pool view from the balcony. We were so disappointed with the accommodations that we cut our vacation short by 2 days. Unless you don’t care about cleanliness, do NOT stay here!!!!

I chose this property because our family needed an inexpensive place to stay while in town for a softball tourney. When we arrived the studio was clean and appeared cared for. Knowing that we wouldn't spend too much time in the room, it seemed to fit our needs. However, there were a number of little - moderate issues that we didn't encounter right away. The vast majority of the time, the elevator wasn't working (we had a 3rd fl studio). Fortunately, we had no disability issues, otherwise we would've needed to move. It made getting groceries to the room & coming back after all-day softball games not very pleasant. The dresser drawers were loose on the tracks, so we had to be mindful each time we opened one, otherwise the entire drawer would fall to the floor. One of the lights didn't work. Our daughter had to sleep on top of the sofa because the sofa bed mattress is super thin with rusty sounding springs. It was unbearable to just sit on the mattress, let alone sleep on it. There were fitted & top sheets for sofabed, but no pillow cases, and the two pillows provided were stained (couldn't tell if one was just stained or actually mildewed). The kitchenette was really small and the pots provided were too big to fit on a burner. We didn't expect to do any serious cooking, but we were concerned that even boiling water might set off the smoke detector. The shower curtain rod is super rusty, so we couldn't hang wet swimsuits or towels over it. The information email about washers/dryers indicated that the cost is $1.50 for each, but it's actually $2.00. That wouldn't have been a big deal if we hadn't made a special trip to the store to get $3.00 in quarters to do laundry, and after a long day with the elevators not working, we had to make another trip out to get an additional $1.00 in change. As we tried to tidy up, the broom provided had frayed bristles that made more of a mess than it cleaned. With those negatives noted, the location was really good and easy to get to and get around, there were small amenities including a couple of laundry pods & laundry sheets, dishwashing liquid, iron/small ironing board, Meyers hand soap (good quality), clean, extra towels and 2 beach towels. The AC worked the entire time and maintained a very comfortable temperature. The pool was nice and well maintained. This studio was 1/2 the price of the more expensive properties in the area. We knew we were getting no frills, but expected the basics to be better.

Had an amazing time! Was not happy with my adult son having to sleep on air mattress because lay out couch was too uncomfortable that was the reason we rented that room for the extra queen pull out sofa the cleaning lady told us that the last people who stayed complained also. The owner should take that out and get a new one or take off website that was a selling point for me having a grown adult with us.
