We had another amazing weekend at this lovely home. The location and lack of beach traffic (car access) is great for families- no cars driving by at all hours of the night. This is a golf cart only neighborhood but also close enough to stroll to the beach. The home itself has a fantastic bunk room for teens/kids and two other spacious bedrooms including a primary en suite. The deck and views cannot be beat! The home is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The outdoor living spaces are excellent but upstairs and down. The host is beyond accommodating and communicates before and during the stay to ensure your needs are being met. We rent often in Bolivar but this is by far our favorite home. We will be back soon!

My husband and a few of our friends really enjoyed our stay. We live about one hour from Crystal Beach and just wanted a quick get away at one of our favorite places. The house was lovely and the host communicated throughout the weekend. We loved it. We hope to be back soon.

Well equipped, nicely decorated house within walking distance to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Awesome relaxing porch. Great communication with hosts. Expectations are made clear and some seem like common sense but perhaps they had problems with renters in the past. We really enjoyed our time there and would book again.

The professionally produced pictures make this this property look amazing and it’s a beautiful house, indeed. The problem is what you can’t see in the pictures: thousands of aggressive ants streaming in through the window sills, doors and walls! The first night, we noticed the ants crawling on the kitchen counter, but they were more unsightly than a nuisance, so we instructed our family to keep all food and water sources safely stored away. On our second night, the ants became even more invasive—biting and stinging our children while they slept in the bunk beds! The next morning, we discovered multiple bites/sting marks on our children’s arms, legs, hands and feet. We immediately inspected their room for any food or water sources and found it to be clean. At this point, we considered reporting the problem to the owners, but we wanted to enjoy our last day on the beach instead of waiting for an exterminator to show up and saturate the house with chemicals! At the end of our last day, we checked the kitchen and children’s bunk room once again for food and water that might attract the ants and everything was safely stored away. My wife applied some Cedarwood essential oil to some paper towels and placed them around the children with hope that the scent would help of stave off the ants. Unfortunately, the ants returned once again to bite and sting our children while they slept! At this point, my son had enough and retreated to the couch in the living room to get some relief. Before checking out the next morning, we observed hundreds of black ants still crawling on the mattresses, sheets, quilts and walls in the children’s bunk room. Needless to say, we were glad to be packing up and heading home! The next day, I contacted the owner to explain the situation, hoping he could get the problem resolved before the next family arrived at the property. Brian apologized and explained that his cleaning staff alerted him to the ant problem. He blamed the extreme heat for the ant invasion and asked if there was anything he could do to “make this right”. I appreciated his willingness to do this, so I politely asked for a partial refund. Brian responded, “How much of a refund do you have in mind?” I asked for a small refund of $274, which is the average cost per night for the property. Brian responded with a VRBO customer support number and essentially told me it was their problem. This was Brian’s last message, as he fused any further communication with me.

The home is nice and just as shown on the pictures online. It was a couple of things that was not clean. In the kitchen when we arrived there was dead bugs that should of been removed and shower could of been cleaned alot better. If the home was not new the under cleaning would be exposed. The really nice area down stairs in the garage was pathetic it was so many bugs that if it was cleaned before there would have not been so many accumulated. Also so we could not put anything in the refrigerator downstairs because it was not clean so we had to go back and forward . Il Also another thing that I was really bothered by I felt like my privacy was invaded by the ring video some of the rules are very strict which I can understand to a certain point but some things I did understand. Also If am playing a cleaning fee should not have to be responsible for cleaning we spent our entire Sunday morning doing something that the cleaning company should do. So sunday morning we was cleaning up and was not even able to get up and enjoy the beach because check out was at 10:00. Also I think that the checkout time needs to be changed yes they told us we can check in at 2:00 but if I'm paying for a day to stay I think it's very unfair to have a 4:00 check in half of the day I have paid for is gone also it was stated to me it's for cleaning reason. So not far at all. If that's the case check out should be later. I think if you are paying for a day it should be most of the 24 hours. Over all the host was very nice and helpful even offered a 20% discount if we wanted to say a extra night. Nice home but want be back to strick. We had family that had a different beach house was very scared to have them visit us to eat because of the rules But overall the house is nice and family friendly.

Clean beautiful home with all the amenities of your home. Love all the extra features to make it kid friendly especially the fence gate at the top of the stairs on the deck. Great communication from owner. Would defiantly recommend for your family get away. Make sure you rent a golf cart for some extra family fun! Also makes the trips to the beach easier with the kids.

Wonderful memories made!!

Wonderful memories made!!

What an incredible getaway! All the comforts of home in this beautifully decorated beach house! It’s thoughtfully stocked with everything you’d need to escape the real world and with just a short walk to the beach, it’s a no brainer that we will visit again. Our hosts couldn’t have been more gracious, checked in to make sure we had all we needed and even let us know that we might have some internet/streaming issues due to some technical issues on the island. So much communication was refreshing! *If you’re considering booking during 4th Of July, be prepared to have the best firework show you’ve ever seen! Fireworks as far as the eye can see (in both directions) on the beach

This home was beautiful. Equipped with all the comforts of home plus the beach is so close. The deck was large with plenty of seating area. The gate on the deck was very important to us because we had young children. large downstairs covered area for outdoor entertainment in the shade. We look forward to renting again.
