Description of the Bayside vacation cottage rental

BRING THE KIDS !!
More than a cottage, this year round home was designed and renovated by a local architect giving it many lovely features that make it a wonderful vacation nest. Located just a minute's walk to the waterfront , Ruggles park and golf course this cottage has a larger than average Bayside yard, parking and a very comfortable feel. Croquet anyone?

As you enter the home via the front door, a small hallway for coats, shoes & lifejackets, opens up to a the bright, modern, eat in kitchen. Cabinets are plentiful and are complimented by the warm wood floor. Tall windows bring in morning and afternoon light.

Through the central hallway is a large bath with clawfoot tub / shower and lots of storage. The hallway leads to a large comfortable living room (including fold out double) with windows on three sides, perfect for lounging and entertaining. Several bookshelves loaded with good reading material and a stereo / CD player. Going through the French doors in the living room a huge wrap around porch opens up to the large yard with comfortable chairs for dining, entertaining or reading.

Heading upstairs this cottage has a large master queen bedroom with wood floors, skylight window and two large windows. There are nice furnishings and loads of storage space for an extended stay. A hallway provides more storage with a washer / dryer just outside the master bedroom. A story book bedroom with steeply pitched ceilings has two twin futon mattresses and provides a cozy space for children.

This cottage is perfect for the small family looking for all of the antique charm Bayside has to offer but within a modern, clean and attractively furnished home just a short walk to the water.

 Early Season at Bayside, July 7, 2008

By David Doerge (Iowa City, IA USA)

The cottage was all that we hoped for and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Bayside is well located along the coast with easy access to Camden and Acadia where we spent several days. The hosts were most accommodating and were very prompt in responding to questions and other minor issues. It is a great place for kids of all ages and the people in the village are very friendly. As newcomers we met several of our neighbors.
