The host even thought of things such as spare toothbrushes and razors along with sunburn aftercare lotion. The house was clean and as described. My only concern was that the hand railings on the porches were a loose and it made me nervous with kids leaning on them. I did let the host know this at the end of our stay.

The house felt very fresh and welcoming, filled with thoughtful details throughout the entire home. We loved hanging out on the wrap around deck, with plenty of seating everywhere for everyone. Our family also enjoyed using some of the outdoor amenities (volleyball net, tether ball, etc).

Communication with owners was easy. We liked having the baby gate for the kids, many appliances for cooking and the house is convenient since it is a short drive to the big store. We loved that the balcony faced the gulf so we could watch all the fireworks on4th of July. We enjoyed this house and would stay here again. Only thing we would change is being able to drive our car down the street to beach. While it’s easy to just go to next street, it’s nice to not have to get on main road. ##### Steven O.

We've stayed in many beach houses on the Peninsula over the years, and this is by far our favorite! I'm a small details gal, and this house lacked NOTHING! From the complimentary basket of goodies/necessities to the wireless charger next to the bed, this house was welcoming, well-supplied and super cozy. The yard, outdoor activities and various seating both upstairs and down gave everyone a place to relax and play. Clean, fun, welcoming, adorably adorned. Loved it. ##### Keith M.

From booking to check out, our stay was perfect. Having visited Crystal Beach for the past 18 years, we were excited to get back after being couped up for the past year and a half. The communication from booking to check out was great. The house was just as described. Clean, new and bright. The decor was cute and updated, and we had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, kitchen is stocked with all the dishes, etc. to make a meal at home should you want. Close proximity to the beach access and the big store. We will be back! Thank you! :) ##### Amy S.

You will not find a better maintained home on the Bolivar Peninsula. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking. It has so many little details for convenience it’s impossible to list them all. The owners really thought of everything. Many homes have a lift to help you get heavy things up the stairs, but they are usually inactive for renting tenants. These owners allow you to use their lift for heavy and bulky items. That really helps your mood when moving in and moving out. I’ve been going to the Bolivar Peninsula for over 50 years. This is the best home I’ve ever stayed in. ##### Scot S. Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tania C. 22 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful home away from home We recently spent a week at this home in Crystal Beach and we had just an absolutely wonderful time. It was not our first trip to Bolivar, but it was definitely the best trip yet. Family Friendly This home is very family friendly. It is stocked and arranged to accommodate littles of all ages. There are cabinets full of toys and games, along with coloring and activities books. If you look in the bathroom cabinets, you will find step stools for the kiddos. There is a safety gate on the top deck that you can lock and latch to keep kids safe as they run around the upstairs portion of the home. The downstairs has a shed stocked with beach toys, yard games, boogie boards, and more. Great Location We mapped this home and compared its location to the other homes we had stayed at. Initially, this home looked a little farther away from the beach, but I was pleasantly surprised at the location and how close it is to the shoreline. We always rent a golf cart either way, so the difference was extremely negligible. Matter of fact, this was the first home we stayed at where you can even see and hear the ocean. The home is in a gated community on two lots. The kids have plenty of space to play games and run around. There is a bird house on the property that was home to many Purple Martins, which made for lovely birdwatching. Perks and Accessibility It was absolutely wonderful to load the electric lift up with all our bags and only have to make a few trips up and down the stairs to load and unload our stuff. Amenities The home was stocked with nearly everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There was plenty of toiletries, soaps, detergent, and kitchen accessories to get you started and/or cover anything you might have forgotten. And there was plenty of silverware, dishes, etc for all your cooking needs, including kid friendly dishes for the littles. Misc Communication with the owners was spectacular, both before and during our stay. They answered any and all questions that we had extremely promptly and with very detailed information. The beds were comfortable and there was more than enough space for everyone. The kids had so much fun and this property truly felt like a home away from home. Thank you so much for the lovely stay. ##### Tania C.

The kids enjoyed tether ball and volleyball. They enjoyed catching little toads and releasing them all at once. Outdoor spaces were comfortable and we spent a lot of our time on the upper deck. Only drawback was beach accrss ##### tamara m.

Anything and everything you need is provided and if it's not, it's mentioned in the list of things to bring! Megan thought of everything and it was so appreciated. She provided clear house rules, local recommendations, and was quick to communicate. Location is great - close to everything you need. The house is in a private neighborhood with little traffic and we felt very safe. Lots of outdoor activities and toys for kiddos! Outdoor shower was a nice bonus after a long day at the beach. We rented a golf cart to get to and from the beach and would recommend to anyone staying here. We enjoyed our stay at the house and would rent again. Highly recommend! Thanks to Megan and her family for hosting us! ##### Paige R.

This vacation rental was amazing! It had everything you’d expect a beach house should have and more. It has a lift for groceries and cargo from the ground floor to the top floor that was very helpful. We played basketball, volleyball, hung out and made s’more around the fire pit, and relaxed on the balcony and enjoyed the breeze. The house is very spacious and comforting and is equipped with all the cooking materials you need to be an everyday chef. I highly recommend this home rental to anyone looking for a beach house to hang out with family and friends! ##### Gilbert M.
