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.

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!

Perfect Stay

Our family cannot say enough about the Yellow Rose! It was perfect for our family! Had everything we needed for cooking and the location to the beach being steps away was so nice! The house was very clean. The porch sitting was a favorite! We will be back!
