We had a wonderful stay at the Yellow Rose. The house was well designed for our group of 5 adults and a baby, but could have accommodated many more, with plenty of shared space for relaxing both inside and outside on the deck. The largest room is set up to accommodate 8 people but is mostly bunk beds so would be best suited for families/kids. The location is great...right on the gulf and close to High Island and Bolivar Peninsula birding spots...and away from the more densely populated parts of the peninsula. Lovely and relaxing.

I’m so glad the home was a great fit for your group and that you had plenty of space to relax both inside and out. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the Gulf views and the nearby birding areas around High Island and the Bolivar Peninsula. Thanks so much for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.

Other than the unit is clean and complete with their amenities ( kitchen, laundry bathroom) the big + factor is the location which is beachfront.. So relaxing that kids stayed the whole day in the shore.

We greatly enjoyed our stay for spring break! We missed the busy weeks and basically had the beach to ourselves. The house was very clean and the deck had gorgeous views. We locked ourselves out one day and they were quick to come help. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful stay

The Yellow Rose was perfect for our stay. It was able to accommodate our group of 12 with no issues. It’s clean, beautifully decorated and has plenty of space. The deck is amazing - overlooking the beach. You are literally walking distance to the beach! The views are gorgeous and it’s an easy drive back to the store or restaurants. The host was also quick to respond if we had an issues or questions!

We will be back! Such a great location and layout for a fun and relaxing get away for a family. The closeness to the beach allowed us to easily haul all our beach toys without the experience being pained by a long walk. The house was clean and had all the amenities needed to take care of a family for meals, entertainment, and sleeping arrangements. Looking forward already to our return!
