Nice hosts. View and beach access is excellent. Property is in need of repairs. Breakfast was late and sub par for bnbs.
We stayed one night on this beautiful property. The owner, Mike, was very friendly and personable. The grounds of the property had lots of places to relax, unwind, and enjoy the surroundings. Our bedroom was comfortable and the breakfast was wonderful. We highly recommend and would come again in the future!
The property was lovely and I really liked the access to the bay (the steps were a little challenging for my age). The room was comfortable and well stocked. The cooling was controlled for the floor and was a little too cool until 10pm. Breakfast was terrific! My only poor experience was with the host who served and then sat at breakfast with the five guests. After a small amount of checking in with everyone, he (and the other male guest) dominated the conversation. I felt I had to leave early because of the discomfort I felt.
Mike was an excellent host. The morning coffee was a wonderful blend ready to enjoy (on the balcony overlooking the bay) at 6:30 am. I missed breakfast because I had to leave early but he gave me a nice warm muffin to take with me. The room was comfortable and everything was extremely clean and fresh. I highly recommend the Baywood for you stay on the Eastern Shore.
The hospitality at this traditional bed and breakfast was top notch. The rooms were comfortable with a fantastic view of the water. The beach was accessible from the house. The host, Mike, was very friendly and prepared a wonderful breakfast each morning, so much that I couldn’t quite finish it. Delicious. Quiet and peaceful place to stay while you explore Cape Charles and the Eastern Shore.
I am sad to say that this Inn needs a facelift. It's shabby. The towels are so old they have lost and semblance to whiteness. The robe was literally frayed - id post a photo of I could. The "big breakfast" was a huge disappointment - and warm country breakfasts are really plus in Bed and Breakfast. While there was some generic peaceful music much of the time - including at breakfast - network TV was blaring with a big screen distracting. In short - it's time to transfer the reigns or make it the family house it was intended to be.
Plus side: beautiful serene patch of beach. Nice property - nice sunset view. If that's enough to meet your needs and you have no other expectations - go for it. Be sure to bring your own robe and functional towels. At this point they are doing things on the cheap. I'm sure at one point things were more lively - but it's outlived it's hayday.
I can't say enough good things about The Baywood Bed & Breakfast. This was my second visit, and it was just as lovely as the first. The cleanliness of the room is beyond any five-star establishment that I have stayed in. And the breakfast that is cooked by the Host Mike puts any breakfast I've had in any dining establishment to shame! I HIGHLY recommend the Baywood to anyone looking to enjoy a quiet, peaceful and relaxing experience.
