The views from this home were amazing! Kids loved the underside and the swimspa and other games. Definitely a lot of stairs up as the house is on stilts.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for the 5‑star review, Ryan! We’re glad you enjoyed the amazing views and that the kids had a great time with the slide, swim spa, and games. Thanks for noting the stairs, they’re part of the stilt design, and we’re happy they didn’t detract from your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Mellow Mango on your next visit!

The Best Bolivar Vacation Ever!

We have stayed at beachfront properties on the Bolivar peninsula approximately 10 times and this beachhouse is the best ever. Beautifully decorated, homey, with a well-stocked kitchen, and location on a wide section of the beach, this property is one we will return to time and time again. There are great amenities to keep children and teenagers entertained and The Big Store is close by for forgotten items. The house was perfectly clean and comfortable. We were very happy there. Truly the best ever--I would give 10 stars if I could.

Perfect beach house

Location couldn't have been better. Somewhat secluded but still only 5-10 mins to stores and eateries. No crowds at the beach even though it was Spring Break week; plenty of space. Bring a large skillet with you. Would stay again!
