I enjoyed my stay in the bay front townhouse despite a few hiccups. The hotel was well-maintained, and the saltwater pool was fantastic. However, the kitchen utensils were lacking, and I faced some minor issues like a non-functional bathtub drain. Overall, we had a lovely experience and appreciated the beautiful sunset views.

I had a great week at Islander Bayside Villas & Boatslips! The spacious townhome was perfect for my family, and the location was fantastic for exploring nearby spots. However, the pool area felt a bit outdated, and the beach wasn't exactly what I hoped for, which deducted a bit from the experience.

The pool at Bayside was well maintained and heated, which is nice. However, I found it a bit small and not as appealing as the one at the sister hotel across the street.

I had a mixed experience at Islander Bayside Villas & Boatslips. The location was lovely, offering beautiful views and spacious accommodations. However, I encountered issues with the amenities and activities promised. While some staff members were friendly and accommodating, others seemed indifferent, which impacted the overall enjoyment of my trip.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable, but I noticed some scents that weren't pleasant. The bed felt a bit hard, needing a topper for more comfort. Also, there wasn't a washer and dryer in the villa, which could be tricky for families with kids.

The facilities were adequate, with a nice pool and beach area. However, the main resort was undergoing construction, which made it noisy and less enjoyable to access. The shuttle service was reliable, which helped with getting around.

My stay at Islander Bayside Villas & Boatslips was a mix of highs and lows. The spacious accommodations were perfect for my family, and I loved enjoying the beautiful sunset views by the pool. However, we encountered some issues, like the late room cleaning and poorly organized activities for kids that left us frustrated. Overall, it felt like it could have been better run, especially considering the high expectations I had with the activities advertised.

The spacious townhome setup was fantastic for my family, providing comfortable king beds and enough space to relax. However, the cleanliness issues like ants in the kitchen were a downside, and I really wish the maintenance for the fan lights would have been more efficient.
Service

While I appreciated that the staff were friendly, they were hard to find when we needed assistance—especially during the kid's activities, which seemed disorganized. I felt like they could have engaged more with us for the kids' activities instead of leaving us to figure things out on our own.
Location

The location was great for accessing local attractions and the beautiful bay area, but it did require us to drive to reach the amenities at the other resort—something I hadn't anticipated.
Dining

The kitchen in our unit had decent amenities, allowing us to prepare meals without needing to buy every single item, which was convenient for our family brunches. However, some outdoor dining options nearby could have been better.

The well-maintained grounds and beautiful sunset views by the pool were definitely highlights. But I was disappointed by the pool temperature being way too warm—more like a hot tub than a refreshing spot.
