Great location and beautiful home w/ a great view

We enjoyed our stay at this property. We had our 5 small grandchildren with us and they had a wonderful time. The kitchen is laid out great for cooking and visiting. The downstairs area was nice and roomy with a hot tub, cooking area, and other fun activities. The kids loved it.Also, plenty of parking area as well. We will definitely be back.

Everything you’ll need for a fun family trip!

We loved everything about the Saltwater Seabbatical! The house is so close to the beach. Having coffee on the deck with a view to the water was awesome. It was equipped with everything we needed from games, kitchen utensils, a grill, a griddle, s’more sticks and a hot tub. We had a blast! Even our pup enjoyed running around in the fenced yard!

Perfect Getaway

Even after a hurricane rolled through like a week prior this place was great! The owners were super responsive and friendly and made sure the place was perfect for us even under the crazy circumstances. Location is great, super easy to the beach, right next to golf cart rentals! We really enjoyed the large patio and great views of the ocean. Inside has everything we needed plus more and was very nice!

Fall break getaway

My husband & I with our son and DIL enjoyed the comforts of this beautiful home. We have stayed at beach houses around this area before and this is by far one of the nicer ones. It is very well equipped with thing most homes do not have and the little things do make a difference. The owners were very responsive to questions and comments.

Birthday Celebration at the Beach

My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful beach house celebrating my daughter’s 40th birthday! It was clean and very spacious! Drinking coffee in the mornings on the deck while watching the waves wash onto the beach was very relaxing. The walk to the beach was easily accessible within 2 minutes. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals along with the grill downstairs. The sectional in the living room was comfortable as were all the beds. There were extra fans along with a sound machine which was great for my grandson. My granddaughter and I loved sharing a room and each having our own bed. Bathrooms were very nice and spacious. The hosts were very accommodating and replied back to any questions I had immediately. Check in and check out was very easy! We would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jordan & Jason Martin

Host profile image
Hello from the Martin Family!
We live in Fort Worth, TX and LOVE to travel. We're both on staff at Solid Rock Church, which provided the inspiration for the name of our home, "Saltwater Seabbattical". We have 4 kids who are as excited to share our dream with you as we are! Having been born & raised in Texas, we hope you experience southern hospitality and leave more refreshed than when you arrived! Enjoy your stay!!

What makes this property unique

Beach access is steps from the Saltwater Seabbatical! There is ample parking for 3-4 cars in the oversized driveway. Golf cart rentals are popular in Crystal Beach, and "It's a Beach Thing: Golf Cart Rentals" is nearby!

Bolivar Beach Parking Stickers are available to purchase from local vendors for those who would like to park on the beach.
