Spring Break Fun and Fishing

We had a wonderful time at the house. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. The dooorplan was perfect for a big crowd and the beds and bedding were very comfortable. Great location for beach access and direct fishing access! I was sad to leave. The only recommendation I may have is that It would have been nice to have additional outdoor seating on the upstairs deck. The deck was large and beautiful, but there was little seating. Other than that, it honestly was perfect for all!!!! I will miss waking up to those sunrises!

Great getaway

The house was beautiful and comfortable, very nicely appointed. We all had a great time, fishing and hanging out. Our host responded quickly to any questions we had about the property. We will definitely book again, and bring the boat. Mother Nature just didn’t have it her plans this trip. Overall great stay!

Amazing Weekend with Family

We loved this beautiful house on the canal. It was comfortably furnished with everything we could possibly need. The deck was perfect for fishing in the canal. We enjoyed watching the fish in the green light at night. We will definitely stay there again.

Amazing

This property was beautiful and amazing! We had everything we needed to be comfortable and have a relaxing weekend. The wind even slowed down enough for us to fish. Just wish we could have caught something edible to try out the grill! We stay at Surfside and Bolivar regularly and this has been our favorite place! We will definitely be renting again and again!
