Spring Break

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!

Amazing Time!!!

This is our second stay at Bolivar Peninsula. This location was almost impossible to beat! Direct access to the beach spoiled us with the ability to get the best out of this rental while also enjoying the beach all the time. Great overall experience and will absolutely go back. The kids loved it, the surf fishing was awesome, and the house was comfortable.

It was a great place and we would be to go back!

We loved our stay! It is a beautiful property and a wonderful location. It is awesome for a toddler and they are well setup to accommodate children! It was a wonderful experience and we very much enjoyed our time! We are looking forward to returning in the future. This was the cleanest property we've ever stayed at using VRBO and was cleaner than most hotels we've stayed at! It was accommodating for our fur babies too. The check in process was a little rough because the door lock code didn't work but the management company was quick to respond and we were able to get into the property and enjoy the rest of our stay!

Yellow Rose was fantastic

Everything was wonderful. The house was beautifully furnished and decorated and had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. The outside living area was just as great. The deck was huge and the view of the beach and ocean was amazing. The host was attentive and communicated extremely well. Would definitely recommend this great place!

Nice new property with great amenities, including excellent towels and useful cooking dishes. Furniture in living room was low to ground and soft to sit on. Beds were soft to medium firmness, but comfortable.

The house was perfect! So nice, decorated, and comfortable. With the rain, the bugs and mosquitoes were not pleasant, but other than that the vacation was great! The fridge water and ice went out and the managers/maintenance provided us with complimentary water, ice, and more as requested and delivered!

Beachfront break from reality

We enjoyed our beachfront stay at The Yellow Rose! The house was very clean and well stocked with linens and kitchenware. As with any vacation we ran into a few minor inconveniences along the way. The key pad wouldn’t take our code upon check in but we called the number on the door and Daniel was there within 5 minutes to help us. He was very nice and made sure we didn’t need anything else before he left. The ice maker couldn’t keep up with the demand of our crowd of 8 but we supplemented with a bag of ice while it made more. We have the same fridge at home so we are familiar with the ice maker not keeping up with the demand. The WiFi was spotty when trying to stream things to watch at night or trying to watch football games but I completely realize to most this wouldn’t be an issue as you are at the beach. Just something I thought I would mention if you have kiddos or a sports fan. Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay here again!

CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT THIS RENTAL

If you are looking for relaxation and destressing, this is definitely the place for you. We vacationed the 3rd week of September, The beach was never crowded and the weather was perfect. The area is not over ran with tourist traps. It has a small town atmosphere, good restaurants and friendly people. The House is BEAUTIFUL, well stocked with what you need and then some. It is as nice and comfortable as the photos show. Our 2 dogs loved the room the massive sized decks provided for them to run around and play and we loved sitting outside in the evenings playing board games while enjoying the ocean sounds. Plenty of deck furniture provided and quite comfortable. We rented a golf cart from Texas Custom Carts, they deliver and pick-up and are very nice as well. We had one issue upon check in, we had no hot water. We called the number provided, someone was there and resolved the issue within 30 minutes. Turned out to only be a breaker needing reset. The rental process, check in & out was so easy and the people were so nice and helpful. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE RENTING AGAIN!!

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!

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.
