Beautiful cabin very close to the beach. Even the accessories, bedding and wall decor were lovely beach themed items. We loved the entire cabin including the fire pit . Would definitely recommend!
This house was great for our big group especially because of how close to the beach it was. Owners were also incredibly helpful with any questions and quick with every response!
Great short stay, super close to the beach. We took our lab and she had a fantastic time, along with our kids. Hot tub was low on water and took a long time to warm up ( it was cold and windy during our trip). House was clean, comfortable and we had fun with the pool table. We enjoyed having the bedroom smart tvs as well! We would definitely stay again!
This house had it all. Location was perfect. We had great views of the gulf and such a short walk to the beach. Grandkids enjoyed numerous games of pool and multiple trips to the hot tub. The floor plan worked great for a family of sixteen. The youngest grandchild enjoyed all the sand toys that were available and the swing set out back. Lots of fun at night sitting around the fire pit. The home had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. This is a well maintained home and it was nice and clean when we arrived. Hope we can visit again soon.
We took a quick trip to the beach before Thanksgiving. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach. The house had everything that we needed. The kids loved the pool table and the hot tub was great in the evenings. The lock was a bit tricky but it was communicated up front and took just an extra second to figure out. Blair responded quickly to messages. Great stay!
This property exceeded all expectations. From the location, to the view, interior and exterior. This will be our rental home for every visit to Bolivar going forward.
Great place for a perfect getaway weekend with family. Great accommodations for the whole family. Very clean and lots of conveniences that had that extra touch and thoughtfulness. Very close to beach too. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend Casa De Teal Seal to anyone!
My family and I totally enjoyed our stay! My twin sons were especially impressed because the trip was planned for their 37th birthday. My grandchildren played with the games provided by our host. The outdoor playground was a big hit! The water view from our deck was lovely. Our two small dogs had a great time too. We grilled burgers and hotdogs on the large grill provided. The sleeping accommodations were exactly as expected. We’re already planning our next stay!
Can’t say enough good things about this one. The host is awesome with very detailed check in and check out procedures the views from the balcony are amazing especially in the mornings. The home had everything from an electric flat pan to make pancakes in the morning to all your beach necessities in the garage out side shower hoses to rinse things off including a downstairs restroom in the garage. We will definitely be regulars after our amazing trip.
Great location, on the quiet end of the beach which was great. Very short walk to the beach. The picture I added is from the top balcony, to show how close the beach is to the house. The house in general was very nice and accommodating to our needs. The host is very responsive and handled all issues we had quickly. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future!
My family’s first trip to this area and We absolutely loved the house and host . Had everything that they advertised great location on the quitter end of the beach easy access to and from. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Blair Wilson
I live in the Houston area with my husband. We love escaping to the beach whenever we can to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. We hope our beach house is the perfect home away from home for you!
Why they chose this property
We love this house because it is located just seconds from the beach. You can sit on the deck and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets every day while listening to the sound of the ocean in the distance. It is located along a quieter portion of the beach, so it is the perfect escape for families or groups who want to enjoy all the beach has to offer without the large crowds.
