Nice place for friends to have a getaway
I took notes from everyone who stayed. Here is a summary:Beware of Goathead stickers in field behind the house when walking dogs. They are plentiful in the winter. Leaky toilet that was quickly addressed by the property management but it took two days to fix.All TVs set up with Spectrum cable.Nice sound system with surround sound speakers.Wrap around porches on every level with plenty of Adirondack style chairs for enjoying the sun and fresh air. It has a gas grill, but we didn't use it Bunk bed room on first floor has connecting bathroom, which is nice. The second floor queen rooms have to share a bathroom.Bunk bed: single on top, queen on bottom but mattress is a bit compressed on one side. Needs to be rotated. Didn't sleep well.Decent kitchen with 1 oven, 1 microwave, a dishwasher, and large fridge. Lots of cabinet space with plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans, glassware, etc. Wi-Fi had adequate speed for everyone.3rd floor loft was a pleasant surprise. Quiet getaway with a great view, wet bar, and dorm fridge. Living room couch is large and quite comfy.My biggest disappointment: we were not permitted to play The Bay Creek golf course without a significant penalty fee. They required us to pay the Life Center fee which is 75 per day just to get the privilege to play and pay 130 for Greens fees. They pretty much forced us to go back across the bridge to Virginia Beach.

Fourth of July family vacation
Bay Creek is absolutely amazing! The house had everything we needed for the week. Having the cute private beach just steps away was nice. The town goes all out for the Fourth- it was a great time to visit. Grocery store just a few miles away. Suggestion for others: everyone had a golf cart and we thought we could rent one a week or two before our trip but they were sold out. Suggestion for listing/property manager: update listing to indicate that the house has a gas grill, beach chairs, corn hole. These were all great to have during our stay! Also update checkout instructions in the house- some signs said 10 am while others said 11am. I also think we weren’t provided the access code for the gate to enter the community. It wasn’t a big deal- we just called the guard each time and they opened the gate for us. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would love to visit again!
