Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Donna Barnes Anthony
As life long Texans, our family has always enjoyed the Texas Coast. We love being able to share this with other families and hope they will make as many wonderful memories here as we have.
Why they chose this property
The Gilchrist end of Bolivar is quiet with easy access to Crystal Beach and Galveston.
What makes this property unique
In beach communities, houses often sit right next to one another. Our cottage sits on almost half an acre and is surrounded by open land. It is right across from the beach and has unobstructed views of the Gulf.
