Bolivar beach stay

This was such a great stay for our family (7 if us total)- we were only there for 2 nights but it was great. Very roomy and comfortable seating for all 7 of us to spend time together. Excellent location and really close to the beach. Wish there was a gas grill but there was a great neighbor who was at his home for the weekend as well and let us borrow his. Would definitely visit again!!

This house was so precious, clean and close to the beach. Everything we needed was already there, and the host was AMAZING!!When I had a question, she was quick to respond.

4th of July Vacation

This home was great for our 5 night family vacation. We had 6 adults and 4 children. The owner was very easy to communicate with and was quick to respond. The home was very clean and kid friendly. We enjoyed the porch area under the home, especially the outdoor shower. After a day at the beach, it was very easy to shower the kids outside and get all the sand off them before bringing them upstairs. The kitchen was easy to work around and had everything we needed.

Relaxing Weekend with friends and family.

I recently stayed at this charming beach cabin and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach and conveniently close to stores. The kitchen is spacious, well-designed, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The master bedroom bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. One of my favorite parts was relaxing on the front deck, enjoying the soothing breeze. Overall, this cabin offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Highly recommended!
