I appreciate your family signing our guest book and sharing their wonderful experience at Bobbiās bungalow. Your feedback that the additional WiFi tower worked out for your Thanksgiving is extremely helpful. Look forward to seeing you next year!
The house was the perfect size for our families (mine & my sisters). House was clean, inviting and had all the amenities! The street was quiet and the walk to the beach was a breeze. Would definitely rent again!
So quaint! Thank you for the great space and perfect location. Everything we needed to play on the beach was in the closet. Coffee on the porch was wonderful. The barbecue grill was nice to have.
This little bungalow was exactly what a stay at the beach should be. We loved the huge front deck, the view, the quick walk to the beach. It was super clean and very well stocked with everything we could want for our stay.
With the separate sleeping quarters the house was perfect for two families to stay. Great location, nicely kept, and overall a wonderful place to stay!

Thank you for signing our guest book and I am so happy you enjoyed your stay at Bobbiās Bungalow.
Please come again soon!
The property was 'as advertised' and the host was very responsive. A nice ocean view without being in the thick of beach-goer traffic. We would definitely return to this property.
We loved our stay! The home was cozy, clean, and comfortable. The walk to the beach was pleasant, and the host was OUTSTANDING! We will be back!

Iām so glad that you were please with the customer service that you received during your stay. We look forward to your next vacation at Bobbiās Bungalow!
This beach house was perfect for our family getaway! It is very clean & the host offered lovely touches to make sure we felt at home while there! All the kitchen items you could need, plus more. We will definitely be back!
We had a great time at this beach house. It was a quick walk to the beach. Sunrises at the beach were amazing. The second deck porch was a great place to sit anytime of the day with the beach breeze even in the heat of summer.
What a perfect location for our stay while we attended the Long star rally!!!
100% recommend!!!! The perfect place for friends to hang out and relax. Out for enough to get away from the traffic, but yet still close to everything.

Thank You Mark for choosing our place for your Lonestar rally getaway! You and your guest were great renters. I hope you choose Bobbiās Bungalow next year.
The host was incredibly kind and really went above and beyond to help accommodate us after Hurricane Beryl blew through and worked to make sure our stay was perfect. Great location, close to the beach and we love that it had a ground level rooms for the older folks who can't easily do stairs and a room of bunks for kids/teens. The deck was perfect for eating and lounging. Great place! We'll be back!

Thank you for choosing Bobbiās Bungalow for your family vacation! I am glad you all had a wonderful time. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
The house is great, especially the deck. My family had a blast. The house is close to the beach, on a great street and very comfortable. The owner was responsive to our every need and we would definitely go back.
The property was a perfect location to the ocean in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The house had all the amenities we needed for our family Thanksgiving dinner and enough space to spread out to play games. The porch was wonderful to sit on and relax.
