This is a great place to be, we all wished we could stay at least one more night. Right on the beach, beautiful view, we had so many long walks on the peaceful sandy beach. The property is kept very well, Danny is very helpful and friendly. Kitchen is more equipped than my kitchen at home, and with washer/dryer. Could not ask for more.

Such a wonderful place to stay. Seconds from the beach, nice & tidy rooms with everything you need, onsite parking and topped off by wonderful hosts. By The Bay is a small complex that delivers huge smiles. It is now my first choice whenever I am the area.

Hi there, thank you for the feed back and taking time to review us. You are right in that the old girl can do with a freshen up, Covid put the brakes on a little but the painters are due in a few weeks, one apartment has just been re carpeted, the last new bed goes in tomorrow and more is planned this year :) I have only had By The Bay for nearly two years and I am making in roads to get her where I want her, thank you for your understanding. Next time you visit I guarantee you will notice a difference. Take care, Tony

Serene beachside studio
Secluded studio apartment right on the beach, lovely position. Apartment is well appointed and spacious enough for two. Location is excellent, gentle stroll down to the Cable Beach beach, and terrific views and close enough to hear the waves even on a calm night. Studio is ground floor so privacy is naturally affected a little bit, but that's the only negative in an otherwise top premise.

Fabulous.
Excellent location on the beach. We had the studio suite which was perfect for our needs. Well equipped with in suite laundry. Owner went above the call of duty with suggestions of activities, where to eat in the area and with everything else. He was very helpful with our needs the day we checked out. Would have stayed longer if available.

Tony and Brylee are great hosts and the property is very handy to all necessities and serves as a great base if you are visiting the Cape (Cape Rienga). very roomy and well maintined apartments, with close access to a very nice and clean beach and a great hot tub overlooking the ocean.

Peacefully Perfect
We stayed in the Studio for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Lovely ocean view from our own deck. Our host was very welcoming. The only criticism would be that the bed was too firm for us and the shower was tight. The spa was lovely.
