Bayside South condos at Dover Bay Resort a great living environment

While my wife and I are working with Dover Bay Development to build our Cottage at Dover Meadows, we decided to go ahead and move from downtown Sandpoint to a rental property at Dover Bay. We found a Bayside South condo and have just settled in this past week. When I got a text message from my wife today saying how happy she was that we were living out here, I knew this was a good decision.

What we really like about the Bayside condos is the spacious, open feel and the incredible amount of natural light that comes in. The ceilings are approximately 12 feet high throughout, which really gives you a spacious feeling, not to mention the fact that the Great Room and the Master Bedroom are very large for a condo. There are windows that go almost from floor to ceiling all the way around three sides of the condo. With all Bayside buildings having just 4 units, everyone is a corner unit benefitting from the windows on both sides.

The other thing we are already noticing is the incredible efficiency of new construction and new appliances, in comparison to the large older home we were in downtown. The entire 1380 square feet heat up in minutes and the house stays warm through the night.

The convenience of the Syringa mountain bike trails is certainly a huge plus for me. I can actually access miles of single track trails in about two minutes. The paved bike trails throughout the resort are great for roller blading, biking, etc.

Its fantastic to have the waterfront Cafe available essentially next door to us for breakfast and lunch, or last minute conveniences from the Market. And then there is the Fitness Center, Pool, and Jacuzzi that are open year round.

We are looking forward to the winter months when we will take advantage of all the trails for cross country skiing (from our door step), and snow shoeing on the adjacent hills at Syringa.

While Dover Bay has definitely quieted down with the passing of summer and boating season, there is just enough activity out here to maintain a sense of community. When we first arrived on Sunday with our moving fan, we actually had two random people come up and offer to help us unload. Its a neat environment here where you talk with your neighbors and everyone is on a first name basis!
