Bayside Lighthouse Retreat w/ Private Boat Slip on Canal - Sleeps 12

Loved the house! We were kind of limited on outdoor activities due to Hurricane Erin. It was nice to be able to come back to a very nice home to relax. The deck was where we spent most of our time. Something the water sets a calming atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again!

It was nice... The kitchen was all that was needed. It did lack wifi for a few days..but did get fixed. Television access for the children was non existent though.The walk to the beach is more like 25 minutes. Fortunately the parking closer to the beach was not a big issue. The back deck was nice looked bigger and much more inviting in the pictures. There are some things that need some attention... Tiki bar needs an update... The landscape is lacking in attention.

Clean, great location. Fits 11 very comfortably. Well worth the cost. Will book again.

Wonderful home and Outstanding owners!!

This is our 3rd stay at Bayside Lighthouse Retreat and we are already planning our summer 2026 trip back! The hosts are great and the place is perfect for us. We were very impressed with all the recent renovations, it’s so bright and modern and we really like the open floor plan! The loft is spacious and was great for my son and his family (2 adults and 2 children). It’s rare to find a place with 4 bedrooms, especially one that has such a large loft! We always thoroughly enjoy spending our evenings on the large deck and the bayside location is tranquil. Ample parking and being near the Carousel hotel is a bonus for us with an outdoor bar and live music. Food and groceries are conveniently located too. Can’t wait to return!

We loved our place, it was on a dead end road so it was very quiet, nice open concept, very nice deck. The owner was easy to contact, we will be back for sure!

Great place, newly updated floors and furniture on first floor. Very clean and nicely decorated. Great location, wonderful neighborhood and friendly people all around!

Nice property in a quiet nabor hood It great for us esp with the age ranges we had Highly recommend

We stayed here for Ocean’s Calling festival and had a blast! Such a great place for everyone to feel at home.

We have been renting a place on Shipwreck Rd.the past 2 years. A mistake was made this year thinking that this home was the one we have been renting. We are glad i made the mistake ! Thhomehome is much

Very nice property with plenty of space for a family of 9 teenagers & adults. Host is very considerate and works to ensure tenants are set up for a relaxing vacation. Great communication.

We had 11 family members , including: my wife and I, our 3 adult kids and their spouses and 3 grandchildren ages 4, 7 and 8. Upon arrival we could not get in the door. The dead bolt was jammed. I called Keisha and she was able to remotely correct the problem. Then, the 3rd floor was terribly hot. We had 5 people sleeping up there. The air conditioner needed the fan to adequately cool the 3rd floor. Unfortunately, in order to run the ceiling fan, , another light on the same circuit had to be on. The first night no one slept on the 3rd floor. Keisha had a fan and a an extension cord delivered the next day. The fan fixed the problem on the 3rd floor. The extension cord allowed us to use the lights which were strung on the outside deck. Over, the house was adequate. It is old it also lacks closets or dressers in most bedroom s. Our family made the best of it. We enjoyed the deck on the canal. We did some kayaking crabbing and some fishing.

Our family had a great stay in this home without any issues. We were pleased to be welcome to our home away from home for the week. My wife loved going out on the deck to relax and read each morning. We always had great communication with the owner before arriving and would love to come back for another stay.

This was our second time returning to Bayside Lighthouse Retreat and we had another perfect week! This year we rented a small 19’ fishing boat that we were able to dock- not many places in OC have that option so that was a big bonus for us. We enjoyed fishing and crabbing and coming back to cook them and sit on the spacious deck for hours many evenings. We also love the location- we parked beside the Carousel hotel to beach all day and pop over to their bar/grill for food and drinks. The host is so wonderful to work with and the place is perfect for our family. We’ve already booked for next year!

We enjoyed our stay!
