We have been coming to Ocean City as a family since 1988 and as teenagers since 1970! We always stayed in Ocean block condo's. One year we went to the bay-side for something different and have loved it ever since. It is so much more quiet here and you get a much larger unit as compared to ocean block. We stayed at Mallard Lakes for 8 years until in 2002 we decided to buy here at Bayville. The grounds are very well maintained and have a real resort feel to your vacation. There is tennis, basketball, volley ball, swimming, playground,crabbing piers,shuffle board courts, quoits, walking paths and a fitness center, Basically, we are fine having to drive to the beach for the benefit of returning to the relaxing environment that Bayville Shores provides.
