Fantastic setting
Wonderful place for our gang and 3 dogs. We rented kayaks, ate lots of crab and hung out at the pool. Jerry and David are awesome hosts, very attentive and went out of their way to make our 97 mother comfortable on the main floor. Thank you!

Waterview
The property was ever so beautiful. Well maintained. You can watch the sun rise and sun set with just turning your head. The pool was the most important part for my family.

Perfect family get away
We loved “the mansion”. The house and grounds were gorgeous. The house was roomy and comfortable. There is a brand new kitchen that needed more bowls and glasses but who could complain? Two brand new clothes washers and two dryers that made life easy. We needed to buy laundry det, soap, shampoo, pool towels etc but we bought everything at a nearby supermarket, Food Lion. The area is very secluded so plan on cooking home. We conveniently shipped meat to the house and bought all our produce at a farmers market. We BBQ’d every night. Bug spray is a must but David and Jerry have the surrounding area sprayed so it isn’t as bad as expected. The pool was delightful and I don’t think the kids ever got out. It was a perfect family getaway. There is a dock so if you have a boat, bring it. Thay would’ve been the coup de Gras. Would definitely come again

Best relaxing week ever.
After a long, hard year due to Covid and everything around that, our family, which includes folks living on the west coast, needed a place to reconnect, relax and return to feeling “normal”. This was the perfect place for all of that. We saw no one the whole week other than we went to the store. The kitchen is fabulous and made cooking a pleasure. The pool cannot be beat! Our granddaughters, along with us, took full advantage of it and learned to swim. Our kayaks left us with fun memories also. All in all, I cannot thank David and Jerry enough for having such a beautiful place and sharing it. Can’t wait to find a time to go back.

Fabulous Experience
The property is beautiful. The portion we occupied was recently updated and was extremely comfortable for 8 people. The pool was great. The owners were very sociable and fun. We have used VRBO many times but this was by far our best experience. Unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the Kingsbay Mansion, of which Bayhouse is a part, to raise our three children in a rural quaint setting that was controllable, yet offered them an array of outside activities from motorcycles, horses and every water activity imaginable. The Mansion offered room for complete privacy for all of us. For the majority of this decade since our children moved out on their own, we have used the mansion and Bayhouse as a corporate retreat to entertain our client executives to an outstanding paradise retreat destination for themselves and their families. We ask ourselves, why should we ever leave God's perfect paradise setting with every imaginable pleasurable opportunity? Our friends endearingly refer to Kingsbay Mansion as, "Disneyland." We invite you to be our quests and make your own once in a lifetime memories with your family and friends at our wonderful estate setting enjoying the Bayhouse at Kingsbay Mansion. Come be our guests. Thank you!
