Single traveler seeking peace and respite

Sure, here's the review in text form:"My stay at this beach home on Bolivar Peninsula was a dream. The owners were incredibly welcoming. The house itself was spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated, with an ocean view from the deck that was nothing short of breathtaking. It was the perfect setting for the emotional respite I needed, offering a healing serenity that only the vastness of the ocean can provide."

We love this place!

This is our second stay at this house in a year. The location and beauty of the house makes it an easy decision to return. The home owners are very receptive to questions or comments. We really enjoy staying in this area. The Big Store has all of your grocery needs and there are several excellent restaurants in the area. The beds are comfortable and the open living/kitchen area is a definite plus! Plenty of room to visit with family. Very nice views.

Beachy Day!

Our first time with the grandkids on a vacation! We had plenty of room. Beach was perfect not crowded at all. We rode the ferry over to Galveston for a day and then Back to hang out at the beach. Perfect weather. Kids were happy just playing and surfing the waves and looking for shells. Can't wait to bring the whole family back for an extended stay.

Where do I begin? For starters the place was extremely neat and very inviting...from the cleanliness to the decor, we were very impressed. The patio setup provided shade even in the sunny parts of the day. property manager was in touch regularly to ensure that our stay was perfect.

This is a beautiful vacation rental right on the beach. The house is nearly new and spacious for your family or group vacation. Ever thing you need is here- sand, surf and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Owners are very responsive, attentive and kind. You will love this home! The Big Store is nearby. A bait shop is just down from the house for your fishing needs. Try Stingaree for lunch or dnner. It won’t disappoint. Great beach rental.
