It was a fun beach place to stay on the Bolivar Peninsula, close to High Island and other great birding spots. Only issue was the shaking of the structure caused by the 25 knot winds that blew for our entire 3 night stay. Probably would be fixable by cross-bracing. ##### Dom R.

It is the prefect size for my family of 4\. Great views and easy access to the beach. However, I would say the outdoor sitting area is missing furniture on the lower level and also the dryer does not work. Overall, however the stay was good! ##### Michael B.

Lovely space with all you need and then some, including four bunks. You can see and hear the ocean and walk to it within five minutes. And within just a 10 minute drive (west) you'll reach nicer (but busier) beaches. When you buy the beach access pass (for your car to be parked on the beach), it will last a year and as of 3/24 costs $10\. Happy Travels! ##### Tiffany B.

Beaches were not crowded and area was nice. We all had an absolutely great time and would definitely return. Our only issues had nothing to do with the property, but for those who don't know this Texas area, we were definitely caught off guard by the local mosquitos! If you're prone to bites, I recommend lots of bug spray for the Bolivar Peninsula! ##### Staci W.
