Great House for multiple friends / family

Amazing House

The house was immaculate and we loved our stay! When we couldnt get in the owner answered the phone right away and rekeyed the keypad and it was so easy. The house is close to the beach and everything we needed for a multi family house. The ping pong table in the garage was a really fun bonus!

Family Beach trip

Very nice beach house that met all of our large group's needs. The furnishings are lovely. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has two large refrigerators which was great! The outside grill was in bad shape and a new one was delivered while we were there. There are beach toys and chairs that we enjoyed using. We had a great beach trip and stay in this house.

Family stay 2023

The stay at the house was great, probably one of the best experiences we’ve had. This was our first time staying on Bolivar. The communication was great and thorough. The outside wash areas proved to be much needed with kids! With the multiple families we had, the space, rooms, and dual fridges worked perfectly! Even having 2 washers and 2 dryers! Would definitely stay here again and recommend this to others.

Amazing!

We had a group of 16 stay here (6 adults and 10 children). This house was the perfect setting for our vacation. The bedrooms were very comfortable and setup perfectly for our group. The 2 refrigerators were packed with all our food. We utilized both sets of washers and dryers. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need and more. We rented a golf cart to head to the beach. The house has beach toys as well. We were so happy with our stay and can’t wait to stay again soon!

5-Star Review: Perfect Beach House for a Large Group!

We recently stayed at this stunning beach house on Bolivar Peninsula, and it was absolutely perfect for our large group! The house is just a short, easy walk to Crystal Beach, making it incredibly convenient for beach days. With plenty of beds and bathrooms, our group of 20+ was able to spread out comfortably without ever feeling crowded. The house is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a beach getaway. The kitchen had all the essentials, and the spacious living areas were perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. The garage was stocked with beach chairs and toys, which made our trips to the beach even more enjoyable. The location, amenities, and thoughtful touches throughout the house made our stay unforgettable. We would highly recommend this beach house to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay on Bolivar Peninsula. We'll definitely be back!

Great house with a nice setup

First, this house has everything you need. From towels, to coffee maker, to utensils, to a charcoal grill, there is basically nothing extra you really need. It is also very nicely finished and my kids enjoyed the few board games to play. The only somewhat downside is it is decently far southwest down Crystal Beach and far from the big store but the beach is still very nice. The only other thing that should easily be able to be fixed is there are a lot of windows without window treatments at all. It makes for some pretty bright mornings right as the sun comes up. Overall, this was a great house to stay at and the owner was very responsive.

Nice clean spacious house

We could tell this was a new build. Very modern, clean, & large, listing was as described. Beds were very comfortable. We did a lot of cooking & pans & cookware were sufficient. Need basic salt & pepper. We rented golf cart. For those who don’t know area, cars can also drive right on the beach, & beach access is very close. Bug spray is a must in summer, we wish we had bought some yard bug spray to treat lawn so we could’ve used outdoor spaces more at night. Outdoor furniture & TV are awesome! Games that were included were very fun for our teens & adults. Overall a very fun & relaxing time for everyone!!!

Disappointed

The house was nice and beds were comfortable. But as far as the amenities, it’s lacking. 1. We got there and the door code they gave me didn’t work. Apparently they saw us on camera trying to get in and emailed me the right code. I would have never seen it if I wasn’t fixing to message them to see why it wasn’t working. 2.There’s no charcoal grill as stated, only a propane grill that didn’t have any propane in it. 3. There was no broom, so we walked on sandy floors for 4 days. 4. One of the dryers didn’t work. 5.There’s only 2 towels/wash cloths per bed so they expect you to wash towels daily but only left about 4 laundry pods. We had 22 people staying 3 nights so that wouldn’t have worked out very well. 6. They only give enough toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags to “get you started”(which was 1 roll in each bathroom ) so you’re expected to bring your own. It doesn’t tell you this any where in the description. 7.There were no kitchen towels or dish cloths. 8. The microwave doesn’t work right and the dishes do not get clean in dishwasher. When I contacted them about the issues, they sent someone over who did give us a few more laundry pods, a couple of dish towels and propane. She said she would bring us a broom but never did. Like I said the house is nice and set up great for multiple families and they did communicate quickly when I messaged them, but I feel for over $4000 it is lacking.

The home was beautiful and the decor was very detailed. Garage was unlocked upon arrival and locks were on the storage area behind the bar but they had been cut. Outlets downstairs are inoperable. The lift was unavailable for use for even cargo movement. I found this to be very disappointing in that there's no way to enter the home from the bottom level so being able to utilize the lift would have been great for moving items up to the main level. I had my parents with me which ages are 75/76 and my mom wears a brace and utilizes a cane so definitely could've used the lift to at a minimum get them upstairs. We managed but definitely difficult. Information book was resourceful I recommend adding the breaker box is in the bedroom as outlets on the upper deck were inoperable until we reached out to the host for guidance. Housekeeping definitely could improve as cheerios were under one of the beds upstairs and a t-shirt from previous guests. Broken hangers in closets. Understandable it's a beach house but sand was on the floors and that was prior to us going to the beach. Sheets felt gritty maybe from being washed with towels. Broken seashell on the Pac-man game upstairs when we were doing the initial walkthrough of the home. 17 houseguests/5 nights and we were only provided 1 pod for the dishwasher, 6 rolls of toilet paper for 5 bathrooms, 2 rolls of paper towels and 4 trash bags. Trash drawer is very hard to open and close. Dryer on upper left was inoperable.

Thank you, Tracey, for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate both your kind words about the home and décor, as well as your detailed comments on areas where we can improve. I'm sorry that some maintenance and housekeeping issues impacted your stay. We take great pride in providing a clean, well-maintained home, and your feedback has been shared with both our housekeeping and maintenance teams so these items can be addressed promptly. Regarding the lift, I completely understand your disappointment. The lift is designed as a cargo lift and, for safety and liability reasons, is not available for passenger use. During your stay, we reached out to the owners and were able to offer to waive the cargo lift rental fee should you have wanted to use it for moving belongings, but we understand that did not solve your family's accessibility needs. When you notified us of the electrical outlets and appliance concerns, we responded as quickly as possible by helping troubleshoot the outlets and arranging for maintenance to inspect the dryer. We always appreciate guests letting us know about issues during their stay so we have the opportunity to address them. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We value every guest's experience and are continually making improvements to ensure our home remains a wonderful place for families to enjoy. We truly appreciate the opportunity to host you and wish you and your family all the best.

We had a wonderful stay! There were 4 families who rented the house for Labor Day weekend. The house has everything you need. Management went above and beyond for us during our trip-so appreciated. The beach chairs and extras in the house really set it apart-you can’t go wrong staying here. It’s the perfect house for families and is so close to the beach. Bring a ton of bug spray-mosquitos are in full force. We can’t wait to come back!
