Welcome to BAYDREAM, your perfect getaway in the quiet bayside community of Little Harbor. This beautifully furnished canal-side townhome offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and the rare combination of sunrise and sunset views from its four private patios.



Wake up to peaceful mornings overlooking the canal and end your day watching boats glide across the Bay as the sun dips below the horizon. From your balconies, you may even spot dolphins and manatees playing in the water.

    Beautiful home! The beds were incredibly comfortable, it had the perfect space to accommodate our family. The views were breathtaking, the beach was perfect, the community was lovely. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

    Horrible experience. I do not recommend staying at this property.We properly bagged the trash and left it outside because there was no trash can or dumpster near the unit, yet we were still charged an additional 45 for it. Only one trash bag was provided, and there was no soap for the shower or for washing dishes.Upon arrival, we were unable to access the unit because the access code had not been sent to us, even though they claimed otherwise. We arrived after their office had closed at 6 PM and spent nearly 1.5 hours trying to contact someone. We did not receive the code until around 1:00 AM.Although the unit itself was somewhat decent, the furniture was very cheap and unstable. The rugs and couches were visibly dirty, and some windows had no blinds, leaving the interior fully exposed to anyone passing by.My advice to anyone considering staying here: stay away. This property is poorly managed and not worth the stress or the extra charges.

    Great place! Lots of amenities in the condo complex.Clean. Comforable.Plenty of towels and there were beach/pool towels.It would be nice if a few basics were provided such as, coffee filters, salt/pepper, basic spices, cooking spray, more than one trash bag (we did find another bag at the bottom of the can but we did not know that until the day we left and the paperwork said there will only be one bag so we were just using grocery bags once the can got full), hand soap in the kitchen and cleaning solution to clean off the counters after cooking.Lots of people fly in so a few of those things would be helpful so that clients don't have to buy items that they most likely won't be able to take home.The information provided in the welcome packet was helpful.My rating for communication with the property manager is a two because when we arrived at around 9PM,we could not find the WIFI PW posted in the house. It wasn't an emergency so I emailed the manager and asked if there is wifi in the unit. The response was,There is! Yes, technically my question was answered but that is poor customer service and is passive aggressive.I had to email back and ask for the network and PW.I did get a return email with the information but it also said,All of this information can be found in your welcome packet. However, that is where I looked first. It was NOT in there and I checked multiple times.I found that response to be rude.Just provide the info to the paying customer.No need to be snarky.

    This was the second year we stayed at this location. We love this home it is so nice and beautifully decorated. It is also very quiet and close to my cousin that lives in Sun City Center. Thank you for allowing us to stay here.

    It was exactly as it looked in the pictures! Having the laundry onsite (right outside the master bedroom) was extremely convenient after hot days at the beach! The porches were very relaxing! We really enjoyed our stay! We did not get to use any of the extras in the neighborhood (private beach, pools, etc...) due to being booked at other things, so I can't speak to the conditions of any of that. The only thing that might be concerning for anyone with very small children is the stairs to the second floor. It would be quite a tumble if they fell down them... Just an FYI!

    This property is in a nice area and close to water. It's spacious as well with three decent size bedrooms. However, it is poorly managed and it feels like the owner just wants to make money off the property without making any effort to make sure guests have a comfortable stay:- On the day of our arrival, we were told that the washer & dryer is broken and won't be fixed during our stay; no help or compensation was offered to address the issue- A musty smell welcomes you when you enter the property and we couldn't get it out- The instructions for wifi were wrong and we couldn't connect to the internet; I mentioned to the property manager (iTrip Orlando) and nothing was done- one of the shower doors doesn't close- main bedroom has a huge open window with no covering- everything was bare minimum or was of poor quality e.g., towels, blankets; not even hand soap for any bathroomsI rarely write reviews for a property, but I had to write this one so that future guests know what they are getting into. Rest assured, I won't be staying in any property in the future that iTrip manages.

    It was very nice and clean.Master suite was on second floor as was the laundry. There were about 14 steps up to second floor. We just stayed in bedroom on first floor because of the steps. The dryer ran but did not heat. Property was located well and had 2 resturants near us. We enjoyed our stay.

    Enjoyed our stay. The sunset and sunrise was great. Clean and beds were very comfy. Only suggestion is describe better where trash should be taken and also the restaurant would not give parking voucher even though we at there. Easy access to major roads. Would stay there again. Molly my dog meet many new friends as well.
