Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers or loyalty member benefits. We love this because... Remember those old school type summer holidays that included backyard cricket and long days on the beach. Bay Lyf reminds us of better days, simpler days when things were less complicated. We adore the original beach house with its maze of rooms but the interiors are so up to date and oozing layers of style. We walk across the road to the white Sandy beaches of Rye and Tootgarook and spend all our summer days swimming and sunbaking. If we are feeling energetic we take the Bay Trail walk in either direction and end up at either Rye or Rosebud. In the summer the funfair is on to entertain the kids in one location and the circus in the other. Perfect. Our favorite spot for coffee and breakfast is only a 2-minute walk away at The Kitchen and for something special we always choose Veraison Restaurant which is only a 5-minute walk. PAWfect What fun! a new house to visit that lets (SMALL) four-legged friends like me sleep inside. Yay! a garden with tall fences to keep me safe. I love walking to the beach where I can go swimming in the ocean with all the other doggies (but only at certain times of the year). And there's a special basket just for me. No way! What's in there? Ooh, ooh! a treat from PAWDINKUM. I LOVE THIS PLACE. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48740000/48733200/48733130/3f899ef4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Art House - 5 Bedroom luxury holiday house in the heart of Rosebud - 4pm check out on Sundays\* Rosebud - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=48733130&PinnedHotelID=48733130&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94730000/94727500/94727482/38a0bd95.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dundas on the Beach at St Andrews St. Andrews Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $1,784 CA $1,784 total includes taxes & fees Oct 13 - Oct 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=94727482&PinnedHotelID=94727482&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110710000/110705100/110705094/08873862.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Resort-style living close to front beach and shops Blairgowrie - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=110705094&PinnedHotelID=110705094&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44260000/44252100/44252026/8fbdc51c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunsets on the deck, Elevated exclusive location, (sleeps 12) Sorrento - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=44252026&PinnedHotelID=44252026&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75190000/75183600/75183555/w1994h1330x3y3-c3967fd1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEST location!
