Relax on your very own private sandy beach on Leavitt Bay. This bright lakefront cottage has a vast waterfront and two decks giving you a front-row seat to some beautiful sunrises and sunsets across seasons. With space and trees between each of the homes in the neighborhood, you'll feel like the lake is your own. Plus, a unique outdoor area - complete with a propane firepit, picnic table, and an umbrella to help you escape the sun. This cottage is just the place to enjoy a glass of wine and relax with the song of the loons or sightings of the Eagle fishing in the bay. The fall season is tranquil and beautiful on Leavitt Bay, fantastic for fishing, kayaking, and stargazing. The Ossipee area is close to apple orchards, farms, fairs, and tasting rooms. Bring your bikes and hiking shoes and explore nearby country roads and trails. There are many good fishing spots on Ossipee Lake and other nearby ponds. When folks inevitably grow hungry, numerous local favorites are within 15 miles of the cottage!
During the summer, you will enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing on the bay, as well as a slip on an expansive dock where you can secure your boat. Two kayaks are provided. Grill your fresh catch on the private gas grill as the sun goes down, and let the non-fishers of the group prepare sides in the well-equipped kitchen. Wind down after your hearty meal by lounging on the new sleeper sofa and watching your favorite shows on the TV while the partial air-conditioning keeps you cool.

Summary: We booked this cottage last minute and were pleased with our stay. We loved the location and kayaks. Truly breathtaking beach with beautiful sunset views. Make sure to bring water beforehand though!

Summary: The location is superb and the home is clean and the check in was easy. The home is not large but feels larger with the outdoor space very relaxing. Would rent again for sure.

Summary: Overall, we enjoyed our time. A few things that need to be addressed, like the distance between the parking and house. You'll need a wagon, something on wheels, especially if you are older. Checking in process is a bit confusing, we had to call the 800 #. However, it's a beautiful spot, very quiet and peaceful. We would definitely recommend.

Summary: This delightful two day stay was a perfect getaway. The hosts provide a very well appointed kitchen, plenty of towels and comfortable beds. Loved listening to the loons as the sun rose over the lake while enjoying my morning tea. What a treat to start our day with a swim and finish the day with cocktails and appetizers by the fire pit. Missed our chance to use the kayaks but that will be an incentive to return.

Summary: My husband and I traveled with our 2 year old and truly enjoyed our stay! It was so nice letting our child play in our own little area in the clean clear water. The sand was great for digging, building sand castles, and laying out. The deck was great for hanging out on. There was also a picnic table with an umbrella and grill right next to the house. I loved that the gas firepit was on the other side of the house in an area that was also sandy and away from the other cottage. We were disappointed that there was no gas left in the tank so, unfortunately, we didn't get to enjoy that part of the house. The house was stocked with all basic things needed in a kitchen. A nice addition was the freezer that had an ice maker. The livingroom had a comfy couch with two recliners. Each room had an AC which would be great for warmer nights. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again!

Summary: Beautiful time. Perfect for a small family. Very clean and had lots of pits annd pans for cooking. (And grill) Enjoyed kayaking, fishing, floating in the clean clear water. The water entrance has some rocks so water shoes for people who may be sensitive , but we didn’t mind ! We loved everything about this place and want to book again !!

Summary: Great spot on the lake. Perfect for a family of 4 with 2 kids. Unfortunately, there's a major plumbing issue that needs to be fixed.

Summary: Can’t beat the views. Overall quiet area. Soothing to listen to the loons at night. Sunfish can be seen swimming in the area to the right of the fire pit as you approach it at the rear of the cottage when the water is very still. We counted about eight of them. Plenty of chairs of different types including the rocking “love-seat”. Kayaks available. Just be mindful of power boats passing by unless you like the big waves they sometimes make! We found the kayaks a lot of fun to use. Big area around the cottage, various places to sit and get varied views. Nice picnic table with Umbrella too. Great place for a relaxing getaway!

Summary: Second time staying here at Bayside Sunshine. We had no neighbors for our whole stay, so it was very peaceful and relaxing. Pros: liked all the improvements made since last time (new carpet, 2 new chairs for seating in living room area, ACs in both bedrooms, etc.) The area and the views are spectacular. All the wildlife, the sunrises, the sunsets, the quiet - it was great. Cons: didn't seem quite as clean as last time. Ants (in the kitchen area specifically) were relentless. Appears that most of the corners of this place were skipped when cleaning too --> not the biggest deal, but it was noticeable. Also, I really missed the hammock that was outside on the sand last time I was here. Would love to come back and see another one sometime!
