The property was very nice, clean, and accommodating. I definitely would recommend renting the golf cart to drive and experience the beach. I definitely will be renting this property again in the future

We had the best time over Memorial weekend!! We arrived and the cabin/home was spotlessly cleaned and fresh!! Felt right at home and we will recommend this location to friends. Another family wanted to join us at the beach for a last minute rental and Bolivar Escapes made it happen, and they were just around the corner from us! Thank you to the home owners and Bolivar Escapes for a carefree stay at Crystal Beach!!!
