Robin Or L.Perfect small space on the bay!
We were very comfortable and BayHaven had everything we needed. The bed is comfortable, kitchen well set up and it has a hard-to-find dock. The apartment is perfect for 2-3 people. It was my husband and I with one child. It is difficult to find a place on the bay with a dock that is not meant for a much larger group. We enjoyed it and would return.

Terri G.Great place
Loved the small unit on the bay-perfect for two people and our two small dogs. The weather did not cooperate for our stay, but we enjoyed being tucked in and dry from the rain, We had all we needed with small kitchen area, AC, TV and comfy bed - relaxed in spite of the stormy weather. We hope to return and experience the beautiful sunrise and beaches that we read about! Jyll and Doc were kind and attentive.

Susan A.Great stay! Great hosts!
Great Stay! Great hosts! Perfect accommodations for a couple. The view of the bay was lovely and the pool was perfect. Everything we needed (food, shops, etc.) was close by and everyone on the Cape was very friendly. Hosts were really nice and very responsive. The booking and check-in/check-it processes were easy. All of this made for a really special stay. Have already recommended this rental to friends. We will book again in the future.

Lynn S.Best Bayside Trip EVER!
Don’t let this one slip by! We had the best stay and one of the most relaxed vacations on the bay. Our hosts were simply delightful and we will be back for future visits. No complaints except I should have booked longer.

Holly W.Great bay-front property
We loved staying at Bayhaven. It's in a great location with beautiful sunrises on the bay. Perfect size for a couple and had everything we needed. Jyll and Doc were wonderful hosts and were quick to resolve an issue that came up in the bathroom. We look forward to returning again next year!

Christy P.May 2022
Seemed nice enough but we were not able to stay as the AC wasn't working so had to find another place last minuteAlso, ensure that confirmation includes everything (fee, taxes, cleaning etc) as my first confirmation did not include everything and I was given a different total 4 days prior to arriving.Owner was very responsive just not a smooth rental process at all

"I am so sorry that the air conditioner was broken when you got there. I’m glad you were able to find another place. The only reason I charged the different price was because I have to pay sales tax to the county and the state. I offered to take pay the tax myself. As I understood how she felt. Unfortunately when she got there the air conditioner was broken. It’s never fun to go on vacation and have issues so I completely understand."
Irma L.Outstanding
This was the perfect location for our little get away with the bay and beach! The studio was tastefully decorated and was just right for the two of us. Jyll, the owner, was very attentive to any of our needs. We hope to be back again!

Michelle H.We can't wait to come back to Bay Haven - best trip to the Cape yet
Everything about our stay was wonderful. The place is cute as can be, perfect size for 2 adults and our dog. The location is wonderful. Sitting out on the back patio drinking coffee and watching the sunrise was spectacular. We spent a lot of time on the back covered patio, and the furniture out there was so nice and comfy. The little kitchen had everything we needed. The king sized bed was so comfortable, and everything was cozy and terrific. Communication with Jyll the owner was easy breezy, and everything was great. We can't wait to come back and stay here again. I can't say enough good things.

Gayle B.Had an amazing week!
This was the perfect size for the two of us. Relaxing cool breeze off the bay sitting on the patio with extra comfortable furniture. Absolutely the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. Sunrise over the bay is amazing!

Carolyn L.Wonderful Get-Away
We always enjoy our visit to Bay Haven studio on St Joe bay!! It’s quiet and peaceful with wonderful views across the bay. The sunrise is fabulous and the beach is close. We enjoy kayaking, biking down the paved trail, Skully’s low Country boil, the pool and just relaxing on the patio. It’s perfect for the two of us.Jyll and Doc are very helpful and the neighbors are perfect for kayak, SUP boards or bike rentals!

Sandra H.Like being at home but Better!
We absolutely loved the place. Owner made us feel right at home. Sunrise was spectacular! My six year old great niece learned to swim underwater in the pool that was perfect size for her. We have already booked our next stay in September.

Erin C.Perfect in every way
We absolutely loved staying at Bayhaven. Jyll was extremely easy to work with and great with communication. The studio is small, but was perfect for two adults, our two boys (6 and 11 YO), and our dog. Everything was very clean and very well stocked. We made multiple meals and had everything we needed. We loved being right on the bay and waking up to the sunrise. The beach was a very quick 5ish minutes walk. Scallop Cove was a 2 minute walk, which was great when we needed something quick. Both Jyll and Doc were so friendly and welcoming. We lost power the first night for a few hours (the whole island was out) and Doc brought us a great lantern to use (again, so friendly). The ice chest was a really nice bonus when loading up the cooler. We will surely be back!!

Tracy B.Great place!
My husband and I had a beautiful time! This studio had plenty of room, was very clean- and the view was amazing. We kayaked on the bay at night - the moon was so bright we could see the grass beneath the water. Beach access is very close across the road. We would definitely stay again!

Gwen H.Simple Tranquility
There is nothing more beautiful than sunrises on the inlet from this porch. Perfect for 2-3 people, close to the beach, and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing and easy-going beach getaway. Jyll and Doc are great hosts and some of the world's loveliest people.

Kendee V.Amazing Studio!
This studio is perfect for a stay on the bay. Jyll and Doc are so nice and helpful. We had 2 adults and 2 small children. It was plenty big enough for us, but if your kids are older I would say 3 total people is the max. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking utensils you need! The bathroom is shower only, but also has a washer and dryer which is super nice! The pool has such a nice view to the bay and the dock is so fun to walk out on and just watch (or fish!). There is also a covered outdoor area with plenty of seating and a table to eat. Would definitely stay here again!

Carolyn L.Great Get Away For Two
Great location on St. Joe bay! The studio was very clean, newly built and nicely decorated. Hosts were very helpful. We brought our kayaks and put in from the dock to go scalloping. We had access to the small pool right off our lovely covered patio. The sunrise view is wonderful. Would visit again!
