Great time at Serenity!

Have stayed at several properties and this one did not disappoint! It was large enough for everyone to have space, and bathrooms and kitchen had all the amenities we needed! Very clean on arrival. The lift out side was super helpful. Would love to come back here next year!

Great Stay

Serenity is an excellent house to take your family and enjoy crystal beach. Bert clean and spacious, plenty of beds for a large group and the up stairs is perfect for kids/teenagers. Large deck on the front and great area below to hang out and relax. Highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful getaway

This property was amazing! Right on the beach, very clean, comfortable beds and pillows, plenty of towels, kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook, deck was very large with comfortable seating, air conditioner worked great. We had such a great time here and would go back in a heartbeat! There were 3 families, 10 kids ages 12-18, 6 adults, plenty of room to spread out.

Absolutely PERFECT!

We stayed at Serenity to celebrate our family Christmas; it was SO perfect for our large family of 8 adults and 15 children! There was plenty of space, cooking needs, and seating inside and out for us to eat all of our meals there! Sleeping arrangements were perfect for our needs and super comfy too. Can't wait to come back!!!

Wonderful!

Once again, Bolivar Vacations delivers. After several rentals through this company, I believe their attention to cleanliness only increases. Serenity is a wonderfully accommodating home for a large group, well stocked, and very clean. And goes without saying, the beachfront location makes it all come together!

Beach Birthday

Our friends and family celebrated my birthday at the Serenity for the weekend. We had 18 to 20 visit throughout the weekend. Everyone had a place to sleep and enjoyed the open space for everyone. The large island and table provides a great space to feed a large group. Property is as described.

Great Beach House

This is our third year of renting a beach house from Bolivar Vacations. All of the houses have been great. They are in excellent condition and are well supplied. Serenity has the added benefit of having a luggage elevator, which is a game changer when it comes to arrival and departure. It is wonderful to not have to carry ice chests and suitcases up the stairs. This made our trip a much easier and safer vacation. Everything about the house was great.

A trip to remember

Everything was great, until it wasn't. Halfway through our trip we were forced to pack everything up and move to a different house. I thought maybe I would hear from the company and maybe get reimbursed for some of the trip or at least get a discount on our next vacation, but so far I haven't heard anything. My family and I have used Bolivar vacations multiple times and have never had an issue. But when we are forced out of a house with 19 people on the reservation and have to pack a whole house up in 30 minutes and move to a different house, due to a problem that could have been potentially wayyyy worse than it was. I would expect to get something as little as an apology, but I've heard nothing! Very upsetting!

Serenity @ Bolivar

Our stay at Serenity was great! Great location on the beach and perfect size to accommodate our needs. My only complaint would be that the property is in need of some TLC! I understand that things can get worn down over time but this property needs some updates/repairs. The upstairs shower has a very large area of mold on the ceiling (happy to provide photos) that needs to be removed and painted, the sink stoppers in some of the bathrooms need to be adjusted as they don't drain properly and outdoor string lights don't work as they have been severed. Other than that, nice place and the location is perfect!

Family trip

Great place to stay for our annual family trip with a total of 21 people, adults, teens and children. Plenty of space for everyone and easy access to beach. We were there for a four day trip over Fourth of July weekend and we weren’t crowded at all. Our door code didn’t work when we got there but they had a backup lock box with a key to get in and quick response when I called about it. Low on propane fuel for the grill but quick response and delivery the the next morning even on the fourth. Would highly recommend for large family gatherings

Perfect Beach House

We are a group of 20 women who went to high school together. We been doing a weekend on Boliver for 11 years now. This was the best beach cabin we’ve rented so far. Plenty of room and proximity to the beach was amazing. We plan on renting this again next year. Many of us are at or near 60, so the absence of bunk beds is a must. Also the cargo elevator is a must. Great overall beach house.

Beachy Keen!

Over Christmas, our family enjoyed the luxe accommodations of the Serenity. Everything was new, clean, and spacious. We loved the open, roomy kitchen for serving a crowd. We did meals, games, and puzzles on the endless countertops and table. We also enjoyed the separate living rooms—one for movies while a ping pong tournament took over the loft area! We had around 17 people for four days, so the WiFi struggled as well as the capacity to store food—one fridge and the narrow shelves of the pantry. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, utensils, and pans. The management company was very responsive and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Our 13-member family met and gathered here for Thanksgiving and found it well-equipped for our heavy baking/prep needs, very clean and new, comfortable and with the BEST view on beach-front property. Highly recommend for a group of 10 to up to 24.
