Amazing week

Beautiful home, amazing location. House was amazing and the deck was to die for. Cannot remember when I had a better time and enjoyed myself more. Everything fully updated and the lift was incredible. This is my third time here and this was the best. Will definitely be back!!

Fit Us Perfectly

The 4 bed/4 bath arrangement was perfect. We enjoyed the “remote” location with the flowering field next door. Out front were birds, dolphins, perfect play beach steps away. Light beach traffic in the area too! Fave place? Stairway landing seating..breezy/shaded/peaceful! The Rental Agency used by the owner very helpful, even graciously accommodated a brief delay in departure due to car trouble! Would recommend.

Amazing!!

We had an amazing time at this cabin. It was right on the beach. The cabin was clean and a perfect size. Love that each room had its own bathroom. The rental company responded quickly to all of our questions. We will definitely rent again. 10 out of 10 stars!

Spring Escape

The property is beautiful, well decorated, very stay-friendly! They have thought about everything, and it’s a really comfortable space. The tide was very high during our trip so golf-carting into Crystal Beach didn’t work like we wanted. No worries! The cargo lift is a lifesaver! Loved it!

A rental that's as clean as it is beautiful!

The views! The comfort, service, and decor! Had a lovely stay. We were enchanted by the beachy Christmas decorations. What a great holiday surprise! The house is always cleaner than my own, and I keep a tidy home. Unusual to find a spotless vacation rental, especially on Bolivar. Thank you!

Loved it again!

Second time staying here, and loved it as much as the first! It rained most of our trip but being so close to the beach it was great to watch the waves as it rained! Found lots of shells washed up, and the house had everything we needed for our 4 nights. Can't wait to stay again!

Enjoyed our stay. Great location. The 4 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, worked out great. The house was clean and well furnished. We spent a lot of our time on the large covered porch. Great vacation.

Family Beach Vacation

This house and the accommodations were perfect. House is very nice and well maintained. You could not get any closer to the beach- it is right in front of you. We had the beach all to ourselves! Plenty of space for the whole family. Can't wait till we get to stay there again!
