All in 4 nights and 1/2 day stay!

Great vacation and loved being at beachside nearest to gulf. Semi-Privateness of beach was a plus also. Kids enjoyed beach boards and shell searching. Also ferry to Galveston and attractions there as well as restaurants there in Port Bolivar/Crystal Beach. Groceries handy at the Big Store and Dollar General. Loved seeing Pelicans and Seagulls fly over on the front deck and TVs in evening at bedtime. Kids loved feeding the birds bread and donuts! Comfortable rental and would like to return some day! Also 2 of our party did a fishing tour in gulf and we went on Dolphin Boat Tour with the children in Galveston - great for all!

The property itself was clean and you had most everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. It also passed the clorox wipe test as I always wipe everything down when we check in anywhere and so that was impressive. BUT the sheets.....they smelled clean but they were stained and that is an ick for me. I had a Super 8 flashback from when I was a kid but this is not super 8 pricing so the sheets need an upgrade but otherwise good.

Just the best place to stay in Bolivar!

We have stayed in Bolivar 3 times now. This is by far our best experience and accommodations. The communication with David was immediate and helpful. Even when our daughter forgot some items in a closet, David was on it right away.We like to leave properties as we find them if not better. We picked up blown in trash from the dunes without stepping in the dunes.We created a path to the beach to help us navigate us (and the neighbors) the best route to the beach, protecting the dunes. The house is well equipped. Everything you could possibly need. Beds are comfortable. The house was spotless.Most of our stay we have the beach, moonrises and sunsets to ourselves.We will make this place our new annual place to stay. Thank you David for making our stay perfect.

The Perfect Getaway!

We had an amazing stay at this property! Upon our arrival, we were blown away by the ocean views in such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The house itself was very clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location was the best part—on the beach, allowing us to enjoy morning shelling and walks on the sand.The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed. If you're looking for the perfect beach getaway, this is the place! I highly recommend this property and we will most definitely be back!

Foggy Weather - Fun in the Sand anyway

Grandchildren were on break for Mardi Gras (they live in S. Louisiana) I tried to tell them that they wouldn't be able to swim the first week of March, but they insisted we go. We played games, cooked, made several trips down to the beach. There are a lot of stairs and didn't realize until we had hauled everything up that there was a lift. Sure made leaving easier. The house sounds small when you read the square footage, but it is very roomy and comfortable. Spotlessly clean and freshly painted. Do no hesitate to stay here - can't beat the access to the beach.

Great Stay!

Overall our family really enjoyed our stay. The home is located right on the beach, you cannot get any better. We really enjoyed the quieter area of Gilchrist, although that may not be for everyone. The home was very nice and had all the amenities we needed. Our only reason for the 4 star review is due to the weather during our stay. We ended up without power for about 2 days, which is something we’ve learned can be common in the area. It definitely complicated things for us. The house only had 1 very dim flashlight. We had to go to the Big Store and buy a flashlight (which were very spendy), lighters, candles, cooler and ice. We lost all our freezer foods. Thankfully the rest of our family hadn’t arrived, otherwise the additional expense of going out to eat would have been a lot.

Excellent Host

There always seems to be little things you wish your rental had that others have or you at one point had. These can be deciding factors when booking a rental. I can say without a doubt the communication with the host in the emergency situation was by far the most excellent service we have ever received. Despite the conditions the hurricane caused, the quick response, prompt communication and willingness to not only cancel with full refund days before arrival but accommodate Us in anyway he could is more than enough to make us want to stay Again. The house was beautiful and perfect our family. Another plus is it was stocked with quite a bit of things we had packed with the intentions of it not being available. 10/10 recommended booking this house and with this host.

Very close to the beach

The house location was perfect, right on the beach with only a few steps to the beach. The house was clean and well stocked with supplies. I wish the beach house had beach chairs for you though. The covered porch was great for sitting out and drinking our morning coffee. The only problem we had was with mosquitos. They were terrible!! There were times we had to run from the car to the house or from the house to the beach because we were attacked by mosquitos. Even with bug spray, we still had lots of mosquito bites. The outside shower was a big plus. It helped a lot with not tracking sand in the house. We wished there was a gate on the porch though. We had our dogs and a two year old, so it would of added peace of mind if there was a gate so you don’t have to worry about the stairs. Overall a wonderful stay and a beautiful house!
