Wonderful and easy experience! The place was so nice and cozy. LOVE the small details of having shampoo/conditioner/ibuprofen/lotion for those sunburns/even Qtips! All those little things you might forget to pack. Super convenient location and close to anything you might need for your beach stay. The yard was perfect for our dogs and made our trip that much more special not having to board or worry about leaving our fur babies.

Beautiful home with lots of space, including a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the downstairs area which was fenced and we enjoyed playing cornhole. The cargo lift was a plus because I have back issues and my goldendoodle had knee surgery 8 weeks ago and has not been walking stairs yet. The host (Paul) was very accommodating and provided all the information I needed for a perfect stay. I recommend this beautiful home for your next vacation.

It was a beautiful home with everything we needed for a great visit. The house was very well stocked, compared to other rentals I've visited (toilet paper, soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, and several basics in the fridge). The downstairs area was well furnished and was a great place to relax in the evenings. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will be back!

We enjoyed our stay. It was a very nice place, laid out nice, big, stocked with everything you need. The owners communicated good and was very nice. We will definitely want to go back.

Second time. Great experience

This was our second stay. Will definitely stay again if our family size will fit. 5 adults this time and all were very comfortable. Kitchen and baths had everything we needed and then a lot more. Rent a golf cart (no matter where you stay) to just make it easier. Very clean. Lots of sofas. Book this one!

Perfect Getaway

This was such an amazing and beautiful home! Perfect for a family with children and our little dog! Close to the beach, about a 5 minute walk, and was fully equip with everything we needed. Only a couple minute drive to the local supermarket and restaurants to eat at. We really enjoyed both the top deck and downstairs outside area. Paul was an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The beach was amazing and never too crowded. It made for a great birthday weekend, and we would definitely come back!

Girl’s getaway

This is the second time to stay at this cabin. Very clean and bright. So many windows! The owners are so nice. We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO’s and they are hands down the best and easiest to communicate with. Unless you want a house on the beach, I would recommend staying here. Ladies, it’s close to a cute boutique too.

Fantastic experience

In general our experience was fantastic, communication with the host was very good, house was clean, and you can tell the host truly cares about the tenants. We visited as a family of 7 and had ample space, the photograph make this home looks small as it is much bigger once there. Beach is a short walk away, golf cart rentals are a block away, gas station is near by, the grocery store is a few minutes out; in short the location is optimal. Don’t hesitate you will love it.

Lovely home

Lovely home, owner is awesome! You have a short walk to the beach about 1/2 mile. Although we had a golf cart. The home is very prepared with everything and then some. Wish I would’ve known, I could’ve packed lighter. Having the lift helped a lot with our luggage and ice chests. Paul & Terri: Thank you 🌻

Happy House

The house is beautiful. It’s obvious the owners took some time to properly decorate the house. We really felt at ease and comfortable during our stay. We had our very young children with us and our daughters favorite part of staying at the house was all the blue paint! She took a picture of it to remember it forever lol it’s close to the beach and close to a restaurant I believe it was called StingARees which was the it place on Boliver. I suggest renting a golf cart to make going back and forth to the beach fun and easy! I hope we can come back and stay again in the future.

Couldn't ask for more! Just perfect!

Paul puts a lot of thought into this property and it shows. He was very communicative and had helpful videos for most common questions. There was a lift for heavy items to get to the second floor which was very useful. All the little amenities that you could ask for at home we're there. Not many properties provide as much as we found provided on this property. Check in and check out was a breeze and all the recommendations the owner had for the area or spot on. Thank you so much for a perfect 4th of July weekend.

Wonderful, relaxing experience!!!

My husband and our 4 teenagers stayed for the weekend, and we had the best, most relaxing weekend. The house was beautifully decorated, so clean, and was even better in person that what the pictures showed. We had plenty of room for us all, and we brought our dog as well. They had all the essential condiments we needed, and they had a fully stocked kitchen as far as plates, glasses, pots, pans, etc. The bed were very comfortable. The couches were inviting and comfortable as well. We highly recommend staying here. The owners provided us with excellent instructions and communication. We could not have had a better experience!!!

10/10 Recommend

I would recommend this property over and over again. Paul's communication was prompt and friendly. The location was just a short golfcart trip to the beach. We loved the huge fenced in yard, it was super secure even for my tiny 6mo. daschund puppy. The downstairs area has plentiful seating, I loved the swing. Upstairs had great balcony seating and 2 living areas in the house. The true star of this property though is how well appointed the home is. This is not a cold empty rental property. This truly felt like a home. There were spices, condiments, Tupperware containers, really anything you could need in the kitchen. There was even a junk drawer!! The beds were comfortable and the home was clean. It was one of my best vrbo experiences ever. Book your stay!!!

Perfect house, perfect stay, perfect hosts

Our stay was the week over July 4th holiday with a group of 6 adults and our small dogs. I will not be able to say enough great things about this vacation. The rental property was exquisitely maintained, cleanest I’ve seen, and very well equipped. We did not want for anything- great quality blender, kitchenware, coffee maker, good towels, extra linens, pillows, loads of little touches that make it just like home. The yard is fully fenced with was awesome for the dogs, with a great hangout area downstairs. The lift was a godsend for our luggage. It is a straight walk to the beach yet close to the highway for easy access to all the fun Bolivar Peninsula has to offer. The hosts are very communicative, helpful, and have lots of suggestions on new places to try. Loved the history book of the area and the bird watching guide too. Just amazing and would definitely stay here again/recommend to anyone! Thank you so much Paul and Terri!
