Cozy Coastal Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this home. The views were fantastic, and the proximity to the beach was awesome. The main area of the home was perfect for being together since the kitchen, dining, and living were all in one open area. Our senior dogs really benefitted from the elevator, and we loved the shaded downstairs area with swing and chairs for the warm afternoon sun. Would 100% stay here again, and look forward to a return visit. The Cobb team was also very responsive and it was cool to get a welcome gift from them - unexpected sweet surprise. Thanks for hosting us, we loved our stay!

Best Beach House Ever

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would love to say something negative about this house but it would be a lie. My wife and I stayed here for two weeks and this is probably the nicest house we have stayed at and we have stayed at a lot. Love the downstairs area, loved loved loved the elevator. Having a gas stovetop was the best. The kitchen was the first house we have ever stayed in that had decent pots, pans and utensils. This will be the house we will choose every time we come back to Bolivar. Thank you owner for knowing how to present a rental house and thank you for making it available.

A Home To Remember!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this home before. We chose it because of the perfect location, beach view, fenced yard, beauty of the home, and elevator. The kitchen is well stocked! We cooked! Had everything we needed.The negatives of this stay are the oven was pulled away from the wall when we arrived. Being gas, we were nervous our entire stay. Cobb sent someone over as soon as we called, but all involved acted like they didn’t know why it was pulled out. The sink downstairs was filthy. Never cleaned. And there seemed to be pooled water/oil close to the elevator entrance. That area never dried. Also, the Master could use a new mattress!Having said that, we will rent again. The home is so nice. The beach view is amazing, the location is a very short walk to the beach. You won’t be disappointed!

This is the 2nd time I have rented from Cobb. I made a huge mistake on my reservation and they so graciously corrected it for me. Whew..that was a big mess-up on my part. Thank you Cobb for making yet another Bolivar vacation be 5 star! I highly recommend this home. The elevator was so nice with bringing our stuff up and then back down.I would definitely rent this home again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay on Bolivar at least once a year and have rented many different houses. This is the best one we have ever stayed in because it has everything we need. It is almost beachfront with an access road; has a good fence; a lift to help get food and luggage upstairs; and is supplied with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, appliances, and comfortable beds!This was our second stay here and we will try to get this same house again next time we can. Cobb Real Estate is always easy to work with and helpful.

Summer Salt Christmas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful. It was exactly as we expected and more. Our family had a wonderful time. I definitely recommend Parcheesi! Brought back memories and we all fun. The kitchen was outstanding. I don't use the dishes and cookware in the houses we rent normally, but I did at Summer Salt and they had EVERYTHING I could possibly need plus. The view was great. The outside furniture is set up so that everyone gets an excellent view and everyone can talk. I can't say enough. Cheyenne nailed it as always. She's the best. Super helpful and always pleasant to talk to. The pirate parrots were pretty awesome.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house fit us perfectly. We needed to be close enough to see the water, a large yard for our pups, and room to relax. This is a great rental and we will definitely be staying here again. The elevator worked well for bringing up food and suitcases. We stayed about two weeks and I don’t have a single bad thing to say about it. Cobb employees made our check in effortless.

Summer Salt Delivers Again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third time renting Summer Salt through Cobb Real Estate and it was the best stay yet. We had many choices of rentals during our week on Crystal Beach, and I'm so glad we chose Summer Salt again. It was like coming home. The house is in great shape and I was pleased to see that beach chairs, corn hole and other beach games were still there. The wifi worked perfectly for those in our party who were working remotely. There's ample seating on the gorgeous deck either in shade or sun; and the close proximity to the beach made getting on the sand a snap. The kitchen is better stocked than mine at home and the large mud room with washer and dryer (and elevator) is a bonus. The house was clean and inviting and the provided linens were good quality, crisp and fresh. Sunrise from the deck was spectacular each morning and our sunset rides along the beach in our rented cart from West Canal Beach Buggies were the perfect way to end the day. Summer Salt has become "our" house in Crystal Beach. Can't wait to come again.

We love this house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We LOVE Summer Salt! The house is perfect for our family & the location is perfect. The big fenced yard and elevator is a BIG plus for our kids, dogs and me with limited mobility. The house wasn’t as clean inside as in the past, but it was acceptable. The kitchen is so well stocked and very appreciated. The elevator had some issues, which was a problem for me since I rely on it. Luckily it wasn’t until the last night that it quit and we had to lock the doors on it. That gave me real problems on loading out day, but luckily I have a very helpful daughter. Having the elevator is the only way I can go to the beach for a week so I’m certainly not unhappy. Really can’t say enough good things about this house AND Cobb Realty. They are always a pleasure and so easy to work with. Look forward to seeing the beach again soon!

Another Fabulous Week at Summer Salt

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time renting Summer Salt for a family getaway and as before, we had a wonderful time. This beautifully decorated house has everything you would want for cooking, playing on the beach or relaxing. We were happy to see a corn hole game (which we really enjoyed), four beach chairs for use on the beach, two loungers for sunning on the deck and plenty of chairs so that everyone could have their favorite seat. The views from the deck are spectacular and I can't get enough of the sound of the waves. Our adult children worked remote while we were there and had no problems accessing the wifi, even for Zoom calls. It's obvious the owners of this fabulous house have been very thoughtful in what to put in the house. There were games galore, DVD's for every age-level and taste, plenty of cooking utensils and pots/pans and several small appliances. We had two pups with us and never hesitated to let them roam the fenced yard. It's a short walk to the beach and we rented a golf cart so we could haul our gear in one trip and take sunset rides along the sand. We had an issue with the elevator on Sunday morning and a call to Cobb had someone out within a couple of hours to take a look. A maintenance tech arrived first thing Monday morning and had the elevator up and running again in 15 minutes. Our group enjoyed two dinners out at the newly opened Tia Juanita's Fish Camp and we bought fresh-off-the-boat shrimp from JB's Fish Market. We're already planning a return trip for later in the year.
