Pacific Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This was a one-day stay at what appeared to be either a timeshare or investment property at Coff's Harbor. We needed a 3 bedroom, and this room was absolutely perfect for us. We couldn't get breakfast included in our price, but you can pay as you go at the restaurant on this property. There is an on-site 9-hole golf course, a pool, in-room laundry, and a beach nearby that you can walk or drive to. The nearby town is relatively small, but options for shopping and eating abound. But there really isn't any reason to leave this resort property unless you wanted to. I stayed here last year as well in a one bedroom apartment that had almost no view. The 3-bedroom overlooked their pond and the 9th island hole. This was a significantly nicer room in all respects. My grandkids had a blast."

"We had an enjoyable stay in the two bedroom lagoon room. It was spacious, with very comfortable beds and pillows, and the kitchen was well equipped, including a full size fridge. Having direct access to the pool was a great bonus. Secure parking was included, which made things even more convenient. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. The only drawback was there was no washer and dryer in the room, but there were laundry facilities on site."
