Thank you to hosts Wes and Cindy for sharing your home with us during our annual trip to Bolivar for the 4th of July and family reunion. The house was awesome and in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The accommodation had many amenities and was spacious and comfortable for our family. The gated access to the deck and the large yard were convenient to keep an eye on the littler ones. Access to the beach through the golf cart/pedestrian pathway was easily accessible and close by. We had a great time, and the week went by way too fast!

The communication with the property owner was the best I've experienced. Super fast and went above and beyond to help me with everything. The house was perfect for 4 families and all of our kids.

The house was perfect for our family. The layout was able to accommodate separate rooms for each adult family and the top floor was great for the older kids.
The location to the beach was the perfect distance to be able to make several trips to the beach daily without having to pack up all the gear each time.
We enjoyed it all and would definitely stay again!!

We enjoyed our stay in your home. The location was great and the house was perfect for our group of nine. Our grandchildren loved the beach! I would recommend this home to others.

The location of the property was absolutely perfect for us! The fenced in yard and covered patio was great for the kids to be able to play outside. The house was perfect for our group! The only remotely negative thing we could say was a lack of basic cleaning supplies. We did have to purchase our own. As someone said in an earlier review, there were no dishcloths in the kitchen, but I left the ones there that I purchased, so there is some now! Overall, the property was fantastic and the hosts went above and beyond!

This was a spacious place for an extended family trip, with plenty of room to spread out. The upper level play area was great for older kids to play games away from the main living room. The kitchen was very well equipped, even for the large group we had. There was dining seating for all. The property managers were quick to respond to every question and provided valuable local information. We loved the included beach equipment, making our travel load lighter! The walk to the beach was short and not problem for our 71 year olds or our 2 year old!! We loved the rocking chairs on the mail deck that looked out to the ocean and spent a lot of time on the deck at night to catch the moon and stars.
The only suggestions to make all perfect would be to:
1) add more toilet paper. After 4-5 days, many of the bathrooms were out of the one roll included per bathroom, luckily we brought some of our own.
2) add sponges or dishcloths to the kitchen (we had to just use a wet paper towel to wipe counters). There were dish towels.
3) carefully check the deck for boards that are not nailed down. We just put a pot over the spot we found where a board deflected on main floor deck.

We really enjoyed our stay! There was plenty of room and the house was stocked with everything we needed. This house has tons of room and a great space to hang out under the house in the shade. Thanks for having us!

We had a great time at this beach house! The hosts were easy to talk to and responsive to any questions we may have had. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The private beach access was perfect and just a short walk over. Crystal Beach also had a lot to offer within short distances. We will be back again!

Had an incredible stay at this gorgeous house. We went on vacation with a large group of friends and family, over a wide range of ages, and it was perfect for everyone. Very short walk to the beach, an incredible patio for relaxing and enjoying the outside, a fenced in area so the kids could all have fun (while being within watching distance), large house to never feel crowded, and a clean beach. Loved getting to see the sunset and sunrise on the porch, and going on walks on the beach. Very responsive owners, and can’t wait to return to this location.
