Beautiful clean house on a quiet street close to the beach, but also close enough to stores. Tammy was great to deal with from booking all the way to checking out. Will definitely rent from her again in the future.

4th of July Vacation

This home was great for our 5 night family vacation. We had 6 adults and 4 children. The owner was very easy to communicate with and was quick to respond. The home was very clean and kid friendly. We enjoyed the porch area under the home, especially the outdoor shower. After a day at the beach, it was very easy to shower the kids outside and get all the sand off them before bringing them upstairs. The kitchen was easy to work around and had everything we needed.

Perfect Beach Getaway – Cozy, Clean, and Incredible Host!

Our stay at this beach house was absolutely perfect! The home was exactly as listed—bright, clean, and just a few minutes from the beach. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and we had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.One of the standout features was the bedding—it was incredibly soft and cozy. After long days at the beach, it was such a treat to come back to such a comfortable and peaceful space.Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and super easy to reach at any time. Communication was smooth from start to finish, which made the whole experience stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better beach escape. Highly recommend this spot and would definitely love to come back!Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Simply wonderful - highly recommend

An absolutely wonderful stay. This house is better than advertised. It is well maintained and clean, modern interior and amenities. Very short walk to the beach, near everything you need on the peninsula and a fun ferry ride to Galveston if you want to go there for a day. The house is perfect for our family of 5. We all love it because it is comfortable and cozy, but not so cozy that it feels like you’re on top of each other. The host, Tammy, is wonderful as well - very easy to get in touch with, very responsive, and goes out of her way to make sure you’re taken care of. Thank you for everything, Tammy!I’d give it 6 stars if I could. This is our second time to stay here and there will be a third in the future.

Relaxing Weekend with friends and family.

I recently stayed at this charming beach cabin and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach and conveniently close to stores. The kitchen is spacious, well-designed, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The master bedroom bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. One of my favorite parts was relaxing on the front deck, enjoying the soothing breeze. Overall, this cabin offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Highly recommended!

This home is on a nice cul de sac with little traffic the weekend we stayed. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds very comfortable and the linens were perfect. Nice spaces on the upper porch and the lower concrete patio.

Bolivar beach stay

This was such a great stay for our family (7 if us total)- we were only there for 2 nights but it was great. Very roomy and comfortable seating for all 7 of us to spend time together. Excellent location and really close to the beach. Wish there was a gas grill but there was a great neighbor who was at his home for the weekend as well and let us borrow his. Would definitely visit again!!
