An amazing play to stay!
We came to stay as a “School is out for Summer” treat and this house was perfect. Me, my wife, our 7yo and pup had a great time relaxing at the house and WALKING to the beach. The house was impeccably clean and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook in the kitchen, washer and dryer, puzzles (we did the Star Wars one) and games (might have spent too much time on DigDug)! It’s literally a 3min walk to the beach, and down the street from The Big Store for groceries and anything else you might need. Best part: the garage is full of everything you need to go to the beach! Wagon to haul chairs, toys, games, frisbee, towels, umbrella, etc. If you’re looking for an updated, clean and relaxing place to stay that’s within walking distance to the beach, this is your place. Also, the couple times we had questions or needed help, the owner was super responsive and helpful. 5-Stars from us!

Absolutely PERFECT!
We usually rent houses in Bolivar 10-12 times per year and have stayed in DOZENS of homes. This one BY FAR landed at the top of our list. It's roomy and comfortable and super clean and has all the necessities! They literally thought of everything! I'm a clean freak and inspect everything closely and this place was immaculate! The location is great and super convenient as well. All the games were a great bonus and there's plenty of board games and card games as well. I can't say enough good things about this home and we are looking forward to staying again!
