The home was very clean. The host was amazing. The beach view was amazing. You can see the beach and hear the waves from the front porch. Everything is close to the property. We rented a golf cart it was great . We really enjoyed our time at the beach. We plan on coming back every year for Mother’s Day .

Great location, steps to the beach. Not many houses in the direct area so the beach is not too crowded. Large house with comfortable beds and furniture.

Overall itwas a plesant stay however the home needs some updates, example the shower had tape holding the floor tub together which looked really bad, also the flooring through out the house was separating Also the walls inside the home needs to be painted.. Like I said the home was nice just looked like it needed some attention from whoever is managing the property.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Apr 2026
Thank you for staying with us and for the feedback. I’m sorry the home showed signs of wear during your visit — the shower tape, separating flooring, and interior paint issues are not the standard we expect. We’ve passed your comments to our maintenance and housekeeping teams for immediate inspection and to schedule the necessary repairs and cosmetic updates. If you have any additional details you can share through your Vrbo messages, it would help us prioritize the work. We appreciate you letting us know and hope to provide a much-improved stay next time. — Bolivar Vacations

No internet Super Bowl weekend 😡

No internet Super Bowl weekend. I know they have no control of this but the timing is terrible. Said there was an outage in the area but that is not true. Neighborhood had it. Also, house is showing its age- main shower floor has been patched but still has a crack when u step in the area. Water is going somewhere! New sofa and chair are not comfortable like the older ones were . They were very responsive but never could fix it.
