You don't go to this house for the latest in home decor. You go for the beauty of the place. Drinking coffee and staring at the water. Swimming in the water and then drinking wine and staring at the water. A place I know very well and a pleasure to be back. It helps a lot that Tim is right across the street and always happy to answer a question. A very relaxed, welcoming host
Three generations of our family couldn't have asked for a better cottage by the water. Sunsets incomparable, neighborhood friendly, ice cream perfect. We will be back. Thank you for welcoming us. Joanie and Mark
The Bayside cottage is the quintessential beach cottage. If you're looking for a luxurious fully equipped house this place is not for you. If you're looking for a gorgeous view of the sunset walk out your door to the beach, this is the place for you. This is a rustic style cottage 15 paces from the beach. See the sunset every night from the porch and from the master balcony or the beach.Walk to the ice cream store or the general store. Bike through the neighborhood, or just sit on the porch and stare at the water.
the location on the bay and town of Orient was excellent. The weather was great, but when the wind a couple nights got cold without heat but a fire made it cozy. The home has everything we needed with great views, towels, bedding, kitchenware and walking access to the market and 2 small take out restaurants. Overall a great place.
The property’s greatest asset is its location. The cottage itself is in no way luxurious, and it all fairness it is not advertised as such. It is definitely a step back in time. A “Summer if 42” is an excellent description of the property. Would I go back? No. Am I glad I went? Yes! Vacations are about experiencing new things and sometimes those things are old. Orient Village is a great little town, a gem. If you want to feel more like part of the scene and not a tourist, this is a great place to stay.
Great host, could not ask for a better location, view, charm and experience. Thank you!!
We had such a wonderful, relaxing time at the Bayhouse. Not only was the town so beautiful but the view from the house was perfect. Hearing the waves at night as I fell asleep was magic! The house itself was great - clean, charming and had everything we needed. Tim was an excellent host - quick to respond and so friendly. We wish we could have stayed all summer!!! We hope to be back someday to enjoy the serenity of the Bayhouse.
This cottage is such a peaceful getaway with the sound of the water lapping on the shore and beautiful views every way you look. It's a rustic but well maintained cottage on your own private beach, with the very responsive host right across the street in case you have any questions. We rented bikes for the week from Dan's Bike Rental and they drop off and pick up the bikes whenever you want. I highly recommend this; it's the best way to check out all the beautiful scenery and beaches that Orient has to offer. The kitchen is small but well equipped with everything you'd need to cook and serve any meal. There is also a small grill outside. The master bedroom was our favorite spot in the house. The bed faces the balcony overlooking the beach, so get ready to be lulled to sleep with the lovely breeze and beach sounds.
My wife, our friends and I had a really wonderful time at the bayside cottage. It was the perfect escape from the city—quiet, pleasant, peaceful. Tim was very kind and easy to communicate with. Though the weather in April was surprisingly nice, the wood stove was appreciated for the cooler mornings and evenings. Some of the furniture and decor is a bit older and worn, but for me that was part of the comfortable charm. I am hoping we can return again soon.
The location of this modest cottage directly on the bay is spectacular- with breathtaking sunsets. Its an outside place with a huge covered porch - The town is simple and lovely. Owner of the property is always accommodating and quick to respond. The interior is very basic with everything you need in the kitchen and good beds and linens.
