Lovely cottage.
Beautiful, well stocked kitchen. We like to do our groc shopping at home (Houston-burbs). But the Big Store has everything you need.
On our way to Bolivar, we stopped in Galveston at our favorite fresh fish market to stock up on jumbo shrimp and red snapper. (Last fall they had the best oysters n sea bass.)
We cooked a big seafood dinner every evening. Enjoyed family style meals at the large dinning table with ocean views.
Clean, comfortable and inviting beds. Clean bathrooms. We needed four bedrooms and it was the perfect size. Two Couples and one adult single; each had an on-suite. My 7 yr old grandson LOVED the bunk room. The half bath on the first floor was a bonus.
We knew July would be a busy time on the beach so we wanted a ways back. Twin Palms was the perfect choice. We could still see the water without the noise and traffic of beach partiers. We rented a golf cart so going back and forth from cottage to beach was not a problem. (We also enjoyed drives up n down the beach.)
I was also impressed by how clean the beach was. Crews up and down the dunes picking up trash.
We were there from July 8-11. Two full days with an easy-up and picnics on the beach was perfect. No serious sun burns. We even found some beautiful conch shells.
The outside (cottage) shower is a refreshing must. We were able to wash off most of the sand n grit before going inside for a shower and change.
The cottage is pet friendly, so we were able to bring our two Chihuahuas.
Check out is at 10 am. On our last morning there, we had time to golf cart a few streets over to the donut shop for coffee, muffins and bagels with cream cheese.
We will be back this fall to stay in one of their beachfront cottages, Breezy Point. We will always rent from the ladies at Ocean Property Corp. Their cottages are the best.
Thank you ladies, for another memorable experience.
Our only complaint is the ferry wait. Apparently, locals have a pass and us visitors have to let them go first. On our ferry over, we had to wait over an hour. On our way back the ferry line was twice as long. We had hoped to pick up more fresh seafood on our way home. But weren’t willing to wait for what appeared to be over an hour. So we turned around and went the long way home.
If Galveston wants to encourage visitors to Bolivar, they really need to do do something about their privileged ferry system. Are they trying to discourage tourism?
