We were at a place that did not disclose that construction had obscured their views and that ongoing construction was 5 feet away making that house unlivable from 8-6, Miriam saved us. Beautiful house and beach, so well stocked we could have driven down with bathing suits and nothing else!

We enjoyed everything about our trip! It was our first trip as a family of 4 (almost 3-year-old and 4 month old). The house was perfect. There were plenty of supplies for the baby and toys and items for the toddler. The house is very well stocked with cooking supplies, towels, toiletries, etc. I would highly recommend!

Communication from the time of booking until we left was absolutely amazing. Due to a power line being down we had two outages, Miriam checked on us and offered as much assistance as she could.
There were so many games, chalk for our little girl and SO MANY BEACH Toys!!!!!! The walk to the beach was easy and the neighborhood was quiet. We had a blast, the house was spacious for all of us, and we will definitely be back!

Seriously one of the best places we’ve ever stayed! So grateful we got to bring our dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house was STOCKED with anything and everything you could think of. Lots of extras of everything too and it was all labeled and easy to find.

We had a great time. We all try to get together on Father's Day weekend. We like this end of the beach, quiet & usually a larger each. We had an older couple & the heighthof the cabin was a plus.

The house was cute and had plenty of space. My husband and myself stayed here with my friend and her husband, so two couples and two dogs, and there was plenty of space. It was just a short walk from the house to get to the beach. I kept telling myself that I was going to time it, but would always either get caught up in conversation or just plain forget! I would say it was probably a 5 minute walk, not long at all. We loved sitting out on the deck and listening to music while we enjoyed the ocean breeze. We also like that games were provided for entertainment. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook. This is definitely a plus, since we have been seeing more and more that nothing is provided in other houses that we have recently stayed at. Miriam was AMAZING. She was very responsive. She let us bring our furry kids AND let us check in earlier and out later. I want to thank you so much again Miriam for doing that. It just made our trip that much better. All in all, we had an amazing little weekend getaway and can't wait to go back.

I am beyond grateful that this property owner let us bring all our babies, 2 legged & 4 legged! We enjoyed the home so much. Had all the items and then some to make you feel like you are home. The beach house was walking distance from the beach which was lovely walking my fur babies in the morning and traveling with our 2 year old daily. The island more calm than Galveston side but still has some great restaurants to try out. Even during the off season like when we went. All in all it is a A++ thank you for giving us some great memories after a long 6 years of no vacation.

Our stay at the Bolivar house was very nice. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our 3 day weekend. Although it was too cold for us to go to the beach, it was nice that sand toys, life jackets and an outside shower were all available for use at the property. (We will keep that in mind for a future stay.) We were down for a family crawfish boil and it was nice that the house was centrally located and a close drive to family. We would be happy to stay the home again.

This is the 2nd time we stood at the house. We love it !! It’s far enough to get some peace on the beach but just a ferry boat ride to get some dancing and eating!! If God permits we’ll be back for the 3rd time next year!!

I absolutely loved staying in Miriam's home. It was stocked with everything we needed and Miriam was always friendly and quick to answer any questions I had leading up to our stay. I would 10/10 stay here again in the future!

We rented this for my daughter and 2 friends to celebrate her 13th birthday. It was a FANTASTIC location. Easy 2 minutes walk to the beach, ample parking under the house. It is not a super busy, full neighborhood which we appreciated.for the quiet.
Miriam is a fabulous host. The house has just about anything you could need. We loved the openness of the space. Give yourself extra cleaning time for the linens to wash and dry and the dishwasher to finish loading.

Wonderful Beach Getaway
Love this location as it is on the quiet end of the beach. We enjoyed our 4 day stay with family. Lived the hammocks and lounge chairs out on the deck as well.

*Great Getaway Location
You are an 8 minute walk from the beach, the house is supplied with pretty much everything you need besides the food, the neighborhood is very quiet, there is a shower and faucets outside to rinse off. And you are 10-15 minutes from a few restaruant, grocery store, donut shop, etc.

We took an end of the year trip to the beach with our kids and had a phenomenal time! The house met every expectation. Miriam was awesome and answered every question within minutes! We loved only being a 5 minute walk from the beach but ended up just taking our minivan out onto the beach each time and finding a family friendly quiet spot to play! Most gas stations and the local grocery stores sell a $10 Bolivar Peninsular Parking Pass so that you can park on the beach. Our minivan had no trouble on the beach as long as we stayed on the hard packed sand. The house had tons of games, movies, and puzzles for evening/heat of the day fun. We plan on coming back to this house the next time we are at Bolivar! If you are a no frills kind of family who just want to relax on the beach, cook some meals together, and don't mind cleaning up a little, this is the place for you! I loved not having a bunch of fees tacked to our cost and the minimal cleanup we had to to do was totally worth being able to stay an extra night because we didn't have to pay the cleaning fee most places charge you!

This beach house was overall a great place. Booking was easy. Getting in touch with property owners was very easy and she answered every question I had. Located in the middle of great restaurants, activities and a short drive to Galveston. Property was nice and clean and very well kept up. We plan on renting again and going with our family. Also we were allowed to bring our 2 dogs! That was a big plus.
