About this property

Welcome to the Beach!

Welcome to our family friendly beach escape! Here you’ll find a well thought out vacation home in a gated community with easy beach access and no through traffic. Upon arrival you’ll find plenty of parking plus a basketball hoop, volleyball area, softball/kickball diamond, tetherball, ring on a string, and a stocked shed with boards for washers, some balls, sand toys, boogie boards, folding beach chairs and more. There’s also a fire pit area, dining table, charcoal grill, fish cleaning station, foot wash, and outdoor shower for washing the sand off before dinner. You’ll soon see why downstairs is our favorite spot on rainy days! Load your luggage & groceries on the electric lift and head upstairs through the baby gate at the top to enjoy the gorgeous upstairs deck with lounging opportunities. A comfortable rocker offers an ocean view, perfect for quiet mornings with coffee before heading to the beach.

Inside, the living room has two large, comfortable couches and a love seat for those lazy days with plenty of natural daylight through the windows out to the front deck. Plenty of seating around the dining table, plus barstools at the island. Kitchen has been well stocked with all cooking essentials, plus a large pantry and a fish fry station on the deck area right outside the kitchen door! Comfortable master bedroom with a king bed, tv, and desk; master bath is spacious with extra storage and an oversized shower. Both secondary bedroom has a queen size bed and a twin over full bunk. Both rooms have closet storage available, a tv, plus their own sink & toilet area. A shared Jack & Jill style bathroom connects the two with a tub/shower and another vanity area. Plus a half bath off the living room next to the laundry area with a new washer & dryer! Some surprising extras you’ll find here are bins of toys & books for kids, a pack & play with sheets, baby monitor, games and so much more. Everything about this home invites you to unpack and stay a while.

Still the best home on Bolivar
We have stayed in this home about 6 times. It’s always clean and in perfect shape. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, and every detail has been thought of and taken care of.

Nothing Short of Awesome!
We've stayed in many beach houses on the Peninsula over the years, and this is by far our favorite! I'm a small details gal, and this house lacked NOTHING! From the complimentary basket of goodies/necessities to the wireless charger next to the bed, this house was welcoming, well-supplied and super cozy. The yard, outdoor activities and various seating both upstairs and down gave everyone a place to relax and play. Clean, fun, welcoming, adorably adorned. Loved it.

Perfect Beach Home
I have stayed in this home several times, even before it became listed on Vrbo. You will not find a better maintained home on the Bolivar Peninsula. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking. It has so many little details for convenience it’s impossible to list them all. The owners really thought of everything. Many homes have a lift to help you get heavy things up the stairs, but they are usually inactive for renting tenants. These owners allow you to use their lift for heavy and bulky items. That really helps your mood when moving in and moving out. I’ve been going to the Bolivar Peninsula for over 50 years. This is the best home I’ve ever stayed in.

About the host

Hosted by Megan

Host profile image
We are The Johnson Family. We are grateful to be able to split our time between our beach house and our home in Alaska. My husband and I both grew up in Texas, met in Alaska, and now we are excited to share our love of the Third Coast with our children. This vacation home helps us to do just that! We hope you enjoy our beach escape as much as we do, and welcome any feedback or suggestions that would make any future stays more enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We love our vacation home! We are excited to share it with you. We look forward to sitting on the deck, especially mornings and evenings, watching the waves in the distance. Downstairs is a lot of fun. We enjoy hanging out and playing Ring on a String, or Washers with our children. Volleyball and Tetherball are favorites, too. We love taking the short walk to the beach for boogie boarding or beach combing.

What makes this property unique

Our house is situated on a 1/2 acre lot. We have plenty of space to run and play. The private street makes it very quiet, and kid friendly. Our beach access is a breeze at the end of our street, to the right.
