We loved the site...just between the main road and beach. Photos of sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. Our view of the beach, only 20 steps from the house, was stunning. We viewed dolphins swimming in the waters right off the beach along with birds feeding and flying by. The shell combing on the beach was beyond expectations. It seems the house provided us everything we needed except food. They even had a can of bug spray and so glad we had it because the mosquitos on the beach and under the house were really bad due to the rain they had recently. Beds were comfortable as was everything in the house. Very clean. Hosts were so responsive and answered all our questions. The lift was so wonderful to use for moving our items from and to the car. We would love to stay there again...and as soon as we can. Those sunrises and sunsets were such blessings.

I wanted a beach front home for my family and this couldn’t have been better. The ocean is right out your back door. Abundance of shells on the beach, very private. The home has a lift for all your luggage and groceries so you don’t have to haul everything up the stairs. The beds were super comfortable, I’ve always hated hotel beds but these felt like I was back at home. The kitchen is stocked with most of the tools you need, including coffee, laundry soap, dish soap, even dog bowls in the house in downstairs in the closet. There’s a tv in every room which my son was excited about. The washer and dryer were so convenient and clean and easy to use. I would recommend this house and the managers to everyone looking for a beach trip. I texted them multiple times and got responses immediately. Wanted to give people a heads up, we looked for “groceries” on our phone gps, it was late at night and we wanted to get a quick collection for dinner and breakfast and it sent us to this gas station in High Island that charged us way too much, and the other closest was 30 minutes to Winnie. But the next day we discovered just 10 miles in the other direction is Boliver and there are nicer places to go, including a funny grocery store shaped like a castle that has everything you could need for a beach stay. Also a couple dollar stores, restaurants, etc. We went to Galveston one evening via the ferry it was real quick and easy on and off both ways.

Zane and Tracy make Bolivar the best destination to relax, absorb the ocean breezes, the sunrises and sunsets, and endless beach walks. This property is perfectly located, well appointed, and so comfortable. This is the ONLY place we stay on Bolivar Peninsula…so looking forward to the next one…thanks, y’all!!

Zane and Tracy are amazing hosts! Best hosts I’ve ever had. 😊Great communication with quick response to questions. The house is right on the beach. The beach is secluded where there are lots of unique seashells. The house has a great setup and it was super clean. It is dog friendly. There are all kinds of utensils, pots & pans and supplies. 6 people on all of our devices and didn’t have any issues with internet. Had bbq grill and great deck furniture to enjoy the view. Really a home away from home… right on the beach!! Highly recommend this property!! We will be back!!

We had a great stay!! The property is beautiful and the easy access to the beach was ideal for the kids. The fenced in yard was wonderful for the dogs. The home was clean and had everything we needed for our stay! The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had! Jennifer

Nice place right on the beach. The kids enjoyed hunting for shells and playing in the water. There was hardly anyone else in the beach, I don't know if that's due to the location or the fact it is October, either way we are not complaining! The only real negative were the mosquitoes, but I don't think there is much you can do about that in Texas 😊 We would definitely recommend to others.

The view was amazing. The property was clean and decorated nicely. We enjoyed the proximity of the beach and the ease of communication with the host. There was not much open on the peninsula during our stay but perhaps there is more during the summer. Getting to the ferry to go to Galveston eas convenient.
