Places to stay in Bay City

Donald made our entire stay effortless from start to finish. His communication was warm, prompt, and crystal-clear; every question we had was already anticipated in his thorough welcome guide. Check-in felt like walking into a friend’s home.. you follow the simple instructions and you’re instantly settled, no fussing with hidden keys or cryptic lockbox codes. The house itself is a gem. Perched right on the beach, it’s that rare mix of stylish comfort and laid-back charm. Wide windows frame an ever-changing ocean view, and the soothing sound of waves rolls in all day long. From early-morning coffee on the deck to sunset strolls along the shore, every moment felt idyllic. We left refreshed, grateful, and already plotting a return visit. Thanks for creating such a flawless getaway, Donald!

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Ashley’s cozy place. Everything was clean, nicely decorated, and cozy. Loved the yard area for our little pup to stretch her legs. Even though it’s right off Highway 101, we weren’t bothered by any noise. Was able to enjoy coffee and breakfast before heading out for the day. Would recommend for anyone visiting Rockaway Beach.

James’s home is one of the nicest Air B’nBs I’ve ever rented. Everything was immaculately clean, well-appointed, comfortable, and James was easy to communicate with. The kitchen has everything one could need, the bed was like a cloud, the hot tub was perfection, and the large wall of windows overlooking the beach are even more impressive in person. Would love to come back for another visit in the future.

Our stay was perfect. I can see now why this place is so popular in the area. Descent go the beach is close to the property and worth all of the steps. The actual house is amazing and incredibly well-kept. If it went on the market, we would buy it as our forever home. As for Chris, we have nothing but positives to say. He was kind, responsive, and understood that our arrival was impacted by an unforeseen circumstance. He helped us feel welcome and supported, while giving complete, peaceful privacy.

What a wonderful place! We had a great time here and would definitely stay here again! The house has everything you might need and if needed I would have felt comfortable messaging Eric and asking questions. The location was awesome and the hot tub was such a great time!

we had a fantastic stay! such a relaxing experience and the views were stunning. if you are considering booking this place then do it. you will not regret it.

Enjoyed our stay here, such serene views & sounds of waves crashing made it even better.

This was my second stay at the Dolphin House. This little beach house has great ocean views from the big picture windows. Loved the comfy furniture and the Adirondack chairs on the little oceanside deck were great for morning coffee or evening glass of wine (when it wasn’t too windy!). I’ll be back for sure.

we stayed here for our 24th anniversary and it was everything we wanted and more there was a problem with the water during our stay - Tyler responded very quickly getting us information on the problem it was a broken water pipe nearby not at his house and when we could expect it to be fixed he then bought us a lunch for the inconvenience and finally checked in with us later to make sure the water was back on when it was supposed to be (it was) his response made the issue not an issue do not hesitate to stay here - it was perfection in every way

We had a great time! Thank you for sharing your home with us :)

If I could give them 10 stars I would!! The house just felt like a home. It was beautiful. The views were phenomenal and everything was pristine. We loved the quick little walk from the house to the market to the beach! It was the perfect getaway spot! The beds are beyond comfy! And all the white linens felt clean and sophisticated! Many events can be held here! We loved the baby gate towards the loft since the steps are a little steeper than average stairs but not super hard to go up. The hot tub was a great add-on for just soaking our worries away. This place has been a very memorable experience for our family and we hope many others will have the chance to enjoy the wonderful amenities here!! Thank you again!! We will miss this house and your extremely kind hospitality!

Beautiful place to stay! The beach was right in the backyard and felt private and safe.

A beautiful home at a great location! Fun to have the train go by, and the tracks provide great walking or jogging. Beautiful view of the bay — gulls, cormorants and pelicans. Very good and affordable restaurants nearby. A short drive to the beach. Well equipped for wheelchair users. We will be back!!!

Elizabeth's house was very clean and tidy, and our stay was very peaceful. We regret not staying longer. You really feel at home there. Elizabeth was very friendly and attentive during our stay, and she even contacted me about an item I had left behind, which I really appreciated... I would definitely recommend this place and would stay there again!

Excellent stay, 10 minute walk to the beach and very quiet! Equipped with everything you need to keep you comfortable for a few days. We were happy the shower was so warm and the bed was comfy. Extremely clean despite the naturey area (prone to bugs) and everything worked properly. The space is small so I wouldn’t recommended more than 2 adult bodies (and one infant), the space fills quickly. We did enjoy the grill and the beautiful flowers! No issues with the WiFi which is always appreciate. Thank you for having us!

We really enjoyed Annie’s place. It suited us just fine for our group and was decorated so beautifully. It was also well stocked with many things in the kitchen and other areas we would highly recommend this place.
