I liked that it's kind of private. The units have 2 bedrooms, 1 has a queen size bed and the other is 2 bunk beds. There's a kitchen with a cooktop, dishes, a refrigerator, and coffee maker. Really everything you'd need. There's also a screened in porch and you get 2 chairs and a table on the shoreline outside. It's the cutest little place with a lot of charm. The units are only about a year old and clean inside. The shower is also really spacious and nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Mark, Mike, and Connor were awesome!! There's a man made beach at the marina with chairs, a fire pit, and a pool area. There are a few grills also. The marina offers boat slips, jet ski tours, and boat rentals. They also have e-bikes, fishing rods, and kayaks for rent as well. The town is a very country laid back Hallmark kinda feel. You will see people riding bikes, mopeds, and golf carts everywhere. The speed limit is mainly 25mph everywhere. Most of the people were very nice. We even got a net and went crabbing off the pier . There's a designated smoking spot in front of the welcome center. I sincerely enjoyed the whole 4 days. I'll absolutely return! Check them out!!

Your given a little tutorial before beginning. They left and everything was wonderful. They were having a great time. But when they got to the other side of the island the fear kicked in because the channel has choppy water. My kids aren't avid swimmers, so being out that far in rougher water got the best of them. They sent an employee to guide them back in. My kids were so happy to see land again. Besides the fact that were afraid they still had fun. You do have to understand if you choose to go back it's a 5-15 minute wait for help to arrive depending on where you are. Which could be a little nerve wrecking if your scared. They send a little boat to tow you back. They did have a few issues that day with the battery dying in a few jet skis. But they quickly resolved everything. If you aren't afraid and can swim, I recommend trying this!! Connor and Mike were awesome!!! Check them out!!

Instead of pulling us to safety, the staff told us not to return and to stay out in the storm. When we finally came back after 30 minutes, they refused any refund, not even for unused fishing gear. Safety and compassion were completely absent. Do not risk your well being or your money with this business. Their reputation looks good on sunny days, but when conditions turned dangerous, they abandoned responsibility. Never again.

We had an amazing time renting a pontoon boat for our group of 7 here! We decided to take a boat…read moreout to explore OC for the first time on Saturday and we're so glad we went with Bayside Boat Rentals! Check in was super easy and they gave our driver a 10 minute tutorial on how to operate the boat. Even though our driver has a boating license, they will issue you a temporary license and give you all you need to know to be safe out on the water! I was especially impressed because due to an incident with another group, we started our rental 15 minutes late, and they let us keep the boat for 15 min past our reservation to make up for time lost! For a 6 hour rental (1:30-7:30 PM), the cost was about $507. So split between 7 people, it only cost about $72. So worth it for 6 hours of free exploration time! They told us about a popular sand bar on the map that we checked out first and it was boat city! So many people out enjoying the redneck yacht club--so fun! After, we docked at Fish Tales for lunch. Then we had about 2 hours left, so we went swimming bayside (before getting stung by jellyfish...) and then rounded out the day docking at Seacrets. The pontoons comfortably fit 7 people, and would easily fit 1-3 more! We also had a giant Yeti cooler that fit with plenty of room to spare on the floor. They also come with pretty loud built-in speakers that connect to the radio and Bluetooth so you can DJ from a phone! You can also drop the back ladder for easy access if you decide to go swimming. Overall, the pontoon rental was a highlight of our weekend and we would love to do it again next time! Thanks Bayside Boat Rentals for an awesome first experience.

From the second I arrived I was greeted by their friendly staff. Everyone from the folks working with paperwork to the "guides" who take you out were extremely personable. The ride and time itself on the jet ski was great! All their machines looked to be in great running order. Overall, I had no issues at all during my experience. So if you're looking for a place to rent from and want to make sure you're not going to run into an unfriendly staff or beat up jet ski's - make sure to go to DMV Jet Skis!

They're located right in Sandbridge next to Baja, so it was super convenient to grab a couple of pizzas to bring along for the ride. We even brought cupcakes to celebrate a birthday. Highly reccomend this. Ryan was our boat driver, and he couldn't have been nicer. He made sure we were comfortable, gave us just enough info about the area, and let us enjoy the views at our own pace. The back bay is stunning. The peaceful water, gorgeous skies, and when the sun started to set, it was absolutely beautiful. I think we all had one of those "wow, we live here" moments. I'd recommend bringing a sweatshirt, since it does get chilly once the sun goes down! One thing I loved was how many options Virginia Beach Watersports has. Besides the pontoons, they've got jet ski rentals, watersports, kayaks, stand up paddle boards ... you name it. One day I'll definitely be back to try a jet ski day, just not quite yet! And the location. Being right next to the Baja is great if you want to continue the fun after your boat ride! If you're looking for something fun to do with friends or family that feels a little different but relaxing, I can't recommend this enough. Great location, great staff, and a gorgeous night on the water.

We had a fantastic time! She taught us all about her family's history, the area's history and all about the animals that lived along our kayaking route. She shared anecdotes about things she has seen over her many years of guiding these tours and was warm, personable and knowledgeable. This was a great experience for us and we look forward to doing it again in another season and on another river. A great family business and we highly recommend it!
