Beautiful stay

The Yellow Rose was perfect for our stay. It was able to accommodate our group of 12 with no issues. It’s clean, beautifully decorated and has plenty of space. The deck is amazing - overlooking the beach. You are literally walking distance to the beach! The views are gorgeous and it’s an easy drive back to the store or restaurants. The host was also quick to respond if we had an issues or questions!

Wonderful getaway trip!

The only issue we encountered was the lock on door at check in - Battery died on key pad. The back door dead bolt did not work and the handle lock was unlocked so we were able to enter that way. I called and was given the code for passkey. I let them know about back door dead bolt not working and that the door handle lock was not working properly. House smells brand new, all the rooms were clean. Beds were super soft - pillows were very large and looked nice on beds but a little too big to sleep on. We will definitely be back to this property!

It was a great place and we would be to go back!

We loved our stay! It is a beautiful property and a wonderful location. It is awesome for a toddler and they are well setup to accommodate children! It was a wonderful experience and we very much enjoyed our time! We are looking forward to returning in the future. This was the cleanest property we've ever stayed at using VRBO and was cleaner than most hotels we've stayed at! It was accommodating for our fur babies too. The check in process was a little rough because the door lock code didn't work but the management company was quick to respond and we were able to get into the property and enjoy the rest of our stay!

Amazing Time!!!

This is our second stay at Bolivar Peninsula. This location was almost impossible to beat! Direct access to the beach spoiled us with the ability to get the best out of this rental while also enjoying the beach all the time. Great overall experience and will absolutely go back. The kids loved it, the surf fishing was awesome, and the house was comfortable.

Beachfront break from reality

We enjoyed our beachfront stay at The Yellow Rose! The house was very clean and well stocked with linens and kitchenware. As with any vacation we ran into a few minor inconveniences along the way. The key pad wouldn’t take our code upon check in but we called the number on the door and Daniel was there within 5 minutes to help us. He was very nice and made sure we didn’t need anything else before he left. The ice maker couldn’t keep up with the demand of our crowd of 8 but we supplemented with a bag of ice while it made more. We have the same fridge at home so we are familiar with the ice maker not keeping up with the demand. The WiFi was spotty when trying to stream things to watch at night or trying to watch football games but I completely realize to most this wouldn’t be an issue as you are at the beach. Just something I thought I would mention if you have kiddos or a sports fan. Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay here again!

Great location!

We loved this house! 7 adults and 5 children. For us it was perfect. We tend to eat our meals in with all these kids so the kitchen was a little skinny on baking dishes. 1 cooking sheet and 1 baking dish (8x8). Made lots of foul “pans”. Plenty of dishes, cups and cutlery though

CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT THIS RENTAL

If you are looking for relaxation and destressing, this is definitely the place for you. We vacationed the 3rd week of September, The beach was never crowded and the weather was perfect. The area is not over ran with tourist traps. It has a small town atmosphere, good restaurants and friendly people. The House is BEAUTIFUL, well stocked with what you need and then some. It is as nice and comfortable as the photos show. Our 2 dogs loved the room the massive sized decks provided for them to run around and play and we loved sitting outside in the evenings playing board games while enjoying the ocean sounds. Plenty of deck furniture provided and quite comfortable. We rented a golf cart from Texas Custom Carts, they deliver and pick-up and are very nice as well. We had one issue upon check in, we had no hot water. We called the number provided, someone was there and resolved the issue within 30 minutes. Turned out to only be a breaker needing reset. The rental process, check in & out was so easy and the people were so nice and helpful. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE RENTING AGAIN!!
