Amazing location - great beach but the entire place was a bit run down and tired - needs some love for sure. AC unit was so loud we had to turn it off to get some sleep Stove appeared to be broken since 1974 - Bath cabinet and fixture was road hard and put away wet...... No hot water for the shower - which its OK because it was so hot.

You can come here and cool out on the beach. The room is nice for the price, you get your own little private bungalow with a porch and ting. Often they have good music down at the bar. Good people working there

Right on the beach.
The place is right on the water can't get better than that. Mosquitoes are a killer even with bug spray but overall it's good value for the cost. Place needs a lot of work but the A/C works great and room was clean with full kitchen. Right down the road is 2 grocery stores with everything needed for the stay. We will definitely be back to the Bungalows on the beach.

Great location and staff was friendly. Restaurant bar and pool on site with beach, perfect match. As a place to sleep and launch from this is perfect. Bungalow could use updating. Staff in office, bar/ restaurant were great and very helpful in our next adventure on the island.

Fantastic views and the trees and bushes were all trimmed and neat. Bungalow was very nice just enough room and kitchenware for two. Staff were all friendly. Could use some updating. We'll be coming back for sure though, updating or not.

RESERVATIONS – Due to a software glitch (don’t book on high volume days), 3 reservations were made in 15 minutes—I immediately cancelled two within the hour. Bungalows on the Bay (BoB) verified two were cancelled, but did not return our money!!! They did not answer a week of emails, so we had to have Expedia contact them (they had problems also) to get our $5K back. Over a week of sleepless nights to straighten this out. POOL - it was a CESSPOOL. All 10 days there were diving beetles and other bugs LIVING in the water, and a thick growth of algae on the sides and corners. I never saw anyone vacuum it. Some days the water was entirely green (yet still open with people in it). If there is algae in a pool it eats up all the chlorine and the pool is unsanitary—it was not safe to be in the entire vacation ROOMS – we booked a 400 square foot room, but were put in a 225 square foot room, Cabin 5. A huge downgrade (BAIT AND SWITCH?). We had already moved in, put groceries in the horribly rusty refrigerator, and wiped the room down with Lysol wipes when we noticed how small it was. We didn’t want to waste a half day of vacation arguing with the office and packing and moving to a room that may be worse. 4 cockroaches.

Liked the seclusion and privacy but the facilities could use some improvement, for example pool and beach area needed more seating, advertised marine toys were limited or non-existent, better have GPS to find the place. All over nice place would consider again.

Make some new friends!
Good east end location. Easy to get to and away from the crowds. The owners are remolding and the layout and location are a winner. It’s not a fancy, high end place but, that’s the whole point. Because of the size and concentration of amenities, you’ll probably make some new friends seeing the other guests often.

This property reminded me of a Girl Scout camp that has cabins and is kept up by volunteers. Many of the reviews say the place is being renovated. It makes me wonder what it was like before their “renovations”. From the huge dead roach on the floor behind the bed, the blinds that were scotch taped to the front door, to the paint on the floor in the bathroom, the dirty windows, the splitting wood and peeling paint on the front porch, the rocking chair on the porch that had a slate missing to the stained - stained - stained cushion covering the missing slate on the rocking chair. Did I mention the first room they put me in still had food in the refrigerator, dirt on the floor and literally a full drawer missing. They told me they knew the drawer was missing and added the room was under construction. I asked them why they would put a guest in a room that was under construction but they didn’t say anything after that. The ceiling fan in the second bungalow didn’t work and the sink was dirty as well as the light above the cabinets were fluorescent bulbs with no cover. In the second room there was someone’s leftover beer in the freezer. Needless to say I left early. It turned me off to the whole island.

Nice Trip
Checking in took almost 3 hours -our first room was not cleaned and then our replacement room/cabin was full of wasps - not one or two - I think we counted 15 and there was apparently a next in the ceiling cap of the ceiling fan . Jackson (maintenance hero) got the wasps taken care of but we couldn't get in the cabin for a while - other than that BOB was great - a bit run down, but being renovated by the new owners. Beach was awesome, bar was a bonus, pool needs some work but was clean and refreshing. All the people working were very nice and friendly - a real plus was the nightly entertainment - - - Bingo on Tues, Trivial Pursuit on Wed, Steak Nite Thu and Live Music on Fri -
