Follow the semi-private path and feel the soft sand between your toes. Would you take an early morning stroll or a sunset walk?

Loungers on the deck make for the perfect relaxation spot. Would you rather sunbathe or read a book with the waves as your soundtrack?

Fun in the Sun at BeachQuest

We had a very enjoyable stay at BeachQuest. Everything was exactly as pictured and very nice and comfortable. We had a small hiccup with the TV in the living room the 1st evening but the management company was very responsive and got everything up and running. We really loved sitting out on the porch and it was a 1-minute walk from the stairs to feet in the water. We could not have asked for a better location!

Above Average - 4 Stars

Right On the beach it was a really nice place we walked across a little strip of a road to get to sand and beac. Everything worked as it should no issues. Fridge with ice maker . It was a nice home we slept 5 on a girls trip very comfortably . Advice is bring a rope to pull items from the ground up to top deck if you have a lot of luggage or grocery bags. Biggest annoyance was drivers on beach but home was lovely.

Wonderful Getaway with our Pups

Ahhhhh such a lovely vacation and we loved this house! The views of sunrise and sunset, easy beach access, quiet location with hardly anyone on the beach, layout of the house with nice large rooms and comfy furniture, quick response from management company… we had everything we needed for a relaxing week. Enjoyed walking (and driving) on the beach with our dogs multiple times per day and so happy when places allow us to bring them with us. The house was very clean, especially the floors and counters and even inside the cabinets/drawers, which is so appreciated during these pandemic times. Dishes were all there except a working can opener and fry pans are getting a bit old. One of the couches needs repair due to some stitching coming apart (we bring our own cover so not an issue). Our only real complaint was the lack of restaurant options during the mid week days when most everything is closed - plan to get groceries and cook some of your own meals and also take the ferry to Galveston to avoid that frustration. We would definitely rent this house again and are looking at dates next year to book!

Great Location, But Needs Some TLC/Maintenance!

We enjoyed the location of the house, that was perfect! When we arrived, however, we were not hit with a 'WOW' factor at all... decor and conditions of some walls/ceiling/baseboards were in poor conditions, badly in need of paint touchups. The ceiling in the living room clearly shows water stains from previous leak, yet, it appears noone considered painting over the repairs, very unsightly to look at. The master bedroom has 1 picture (it appears that there used to be 2 but the remaining one has not been centered over bed, so looks awkward hanging over one side) with a sizable crack through the length of the picture... made me seriously wonder if in the middle of the night the picture fell, the glass would shatter and cut us on our faces/head. There are numerous spots in on walls, mostly in living room, master bed & bath that need paint touchups, living room recliner has a good size tear in the headrest and there is a small hole in hall bath door. Lastly, we had difficulty getting in upon check in as the door handle/lock is very finicky. We called the 'maintenance ph #' on the door and left a voicemail. Noone ever returned our call all weekend. The door handle continued to be very tricky the remainder of our stay, especially while in the house, it was hard to turn handle to exit. I gave overall rating of 3, because of the issues above. It was fine for my husband & I but had I invited family members/guest, I would have been embarrassed of the condition.

Perfect 50th Birthday Getaway!

We were couples, two teens and a mid size pup (almost 9year old) who loves the lake but has never experienced the ocean. I went out to plan a very last Vacay to celebrate my hubs bday but had had to find an available place with specific needs: drivable from MO, not on a crowded tourist area, dog friendly rental and and dog friendly beach, and directly on the beach. I looked up and down the East coast, and the Alabama/Florida coastlines with no luck before I remembered TX has a coastline too. I am so thankful we found the Bolivar Peninsula, it met our every need perfectly! I wouldn’t have changed anything about this past week. The beach was was virtually ours alone and literally our front yard. Our super uncrowded beach was ideal for our pup to explore the ocean and for the rest of us to relax. We could leave our beach chairs and other stuff out there while we came in for lunch with no worries. The house was perfection, we spent every meal on the deck. In fact when we weren’t on the beach or sleeping, we were on the deck. Gorgeous view! Only thoughts for owner/managements (definitely not deal breakers, just minor things that would have been nice) —Larger table/more seating on the deck. We made it work by bringing stools out, but they weren’t as comfortable as those with the backs. —Better skillets (gave up on making pancakes) —An inexpensive crockpot —softer sheets (not bad, but a bit itchy especially if you get any sunburn)

Great beachfront home

My sister was visiting from out of state and we thought it would be nice to go and stay in a home on the beach. The weather did not cooperate, but it was still a great trip. It was wonderful to be able to watch the ocean waves from the living room and kitchen area while visiting. The beach was quiet and peaceful and very relaxing. The home was extremely clean.
