Thanksgiving Blessing
We enjoyed this house very much. Beach walkover is a short walk away. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. Lots of space, very clean and peaceful. My family felt very blessed during our Thanksgiving stay.

We rent a cabin for the family and grandkids at least once a year. This was by far the best cabin we have had. It is very accommodating for several guests. Has everything you will need. In a very nice neighborhood with wonderful beach views. We plan to rent this same home every year from now on.

Delightful and comfortable. A relaxing retreat on Bolivar. Easy access to miles of quiet beach. Afternoons on the porch reading and listening to the surf. A wonderful well-equipped kitchen and dining area that can accommodate a crowd. Will return.

Wonderful spot for a small family reunion. Short ride from the ferry but close enough to stores and shops with easy access. Great beach access and wonderful porch views of the beach from this second row house. All amenaties, everything you needed and probably more. Cobb was excellent to work with. Will use again for our next beach trip to Boliver.

We enjoyed the beach house and it was perfect for our needs. We were there for 10 days, so we needed the wi fi connection. My problem was that someone was there before us and stained the carpet, so the carpet was not clean. There were other problems, but Cobb Realty took care of them. Also, there was a lift and we were not allowed to use it because of liability. I understand, but I would have been willing to sign a waiver or pay a deposit. There were 4 of us, all around 70 years old, that had to lug everything up. But I loved the 2 living rooms, the kitchen and the deck. The view was great and easy access to the beach.

Had a great stay at this house, with plenty of room for 10 people. House was well equipped, including things like condiments, TP, garbage bags, etc; stuff you often have to buy when renting a house. Place was very clean, and photos gave a true representation of the facilities. Would return again, but not in December...weather was brutal!!
