We had a wonderful time and everything was perfect from the start of the Booking. I highly recommend this spot to those who wants to have a good time with family and friends
Check in was simple, everything was clean and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The layout was amazing for our family considering we have two couples and young kids/teens. 5 min walk to the beach. The downstairs area is very relaxing and perfect for cooking your daily catch! Would recommend
This rental exceeded our expectations and the owner was very prompt in responding to any concerns we had! 10/10 would recommend and will be staying again!
The home was everything advertised and more. Julie was awesome and always easy to communicate with. Very family friendly or calm peace and quiet to enjoy the water. Spacious clean and an overall great stay. We will definitely book again!!
House is great for a large family! We have ten in our family and we had plenty of space for everything and everyone! Spacious, great amenities, awesome location and great privacy! The host was very quick to respond and very professional and polite! Highly recommend this house!
Gorgeous home with so much room! Easy check in/check out. Dog friendly. Nice beds and linen, fully equipped, outdoor shower to wash off sand. Beach toys, chairs, wagon and outdoor bque pit. Kitchen fully stocked with all the things needed. Highly recommend!

Nice
Everything was nice but we got locked out for a hour and a half when the lock box stopped working.
This property is a great place to have an amazing vacation. The house is a block from the beach but it is an easy walk. The property owners supply plenty of beach supplies such as chairs, toys, cart, and our favorite type of beach towel that dries quickly. The house was stocked with plenty of utensils, coffee supplies, and soaps. The big store is the one stop shop only a couple minutes away that has about any item that you need.
We usually rent houses in Bolivar 10-12 times per year and have stayed in DOZENS of homes. This one BY FAR landed at the top of our list. It's roomy and comfortable and super clean and has all the necessities! They literally thought of everything! I'm a clean freak and inspect everything closely and this place was immaculate! The location is great and super convenient as well. All the games were a great bonus and there's plenty of board games and card games as well. I can't say enough good things about this home and we are looking forward to staying again!
We came to stay as a “School is out for Summer” treat and this house was perfect. Me, my wife, our 7yo and pup had a great time relaxing at the house and WALKING to the beach. The house was impeccably clean and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook in the kitchen, washer and dryer, puzzles (we did the Star Wars one) and games (might have spent too much time on DigDug)! It’s literally a 3min walk to the beach, and down the street from The Big Store for groceries and anything else you might need. Best part: the garage is full of everything you need to go to the beach! Wagon to haul chairs, toys, games, frisbee, towels, umbrella, etc.
If you’re looking for an updated, clean and relaxing place to stay that’s within walking distance to the beach, this is your place.
Also, the couple times we had questions or needed help, the owner was super responsive and helpful.
5-Stars from us!
This amazing vacation home is a special place for our family. We would love to welcome you to this beachside retreat, and we hope you enjoy relaxing and making memories here.
