A wonderful place to unwind & relax

We really enjoyed our stay here it was so nice to be right on the beach. We spent time sitting on the deck enjoying the views, walking on the beach, and visiting some of the local sites. This was my first trip to the ocean and I have to say we picked the best place for this experience. Was nice we could bring our dog Buddy with us too. We would definitely stay here again.

So Relaxing

Our family had a wonderful stay! The house was perfectly stocked with all the essentials. Beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space for our family of five. It was a quiet and peaceful location that allowed our family to play board games, work on puzzles, bbq, and take nice walks on the beach. Love that it was clean while being pet friendly! Hostess was great, and answered questions clearly and quickly. We had such a memorable, and well-needed vacation.

Perfect Beach House

We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house. Loved that it was right on the beach. I loved sitting on the balcony overlooking the water every morning. Beds were really comfortable. Loved that we could have our pups with us and that we could walk them along the beach. Was very quiet with not a lot of people nearby. Would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to the Beach

Sea la Vie was the perfect house to stay in for my family and friends. The location could not have been more perfect! We were steps away from the beach and had a beautiful view from the balcony. The hosts were very responsive and provided all the comforts of home. We will definitely rent here again when we head back to Bolivar Peninsula!

Tranquility on the Bolivar Peninsula

We had an absolute lovely time staying in this beach house! It was clean and very well stocked, especially with dishes (which I very much appreciated). We had many beach walks finding eclectic seashells, surf fishing, reading, and just watching the waves hit the shore. My son caught a giant red bull fish off the surf with Miss Nancy’s bait. We caught enough whiting from the beach to have an awesome fish fry. We also found the shrimp guy, whose prices were very reasonable for delicious fresh shrimp. The Big Store is everything everyone said and served our needs. Thank you for sharing your home!

Awesome beachfront view!

February really isn't the ideal time for a beach stay but our 20yr wedding anniversary was a couple weeks prior. So my husband, myself, 3 fur babies & our side-by-side loaded up & headed out. The weather was 60°+, mostly overcast, the sun peeked out some. The beach house was perfect, the view excellent, clean & well stocked with all anyone would need for the comforts of home. Eric & Cathy were readily available for any questions I had and replied with quick response. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beach home.
