We were very happy with the cabin and its location. Our only suggestion: the front door and the lock need replacing. The property manager was most helpful.

Great Location, But Needs Some TLC/Maintenance!

We enjoyed the location of the house, that was perfect! When we arrived, however, we were not hit with a 'WOW' factor at all... decor and conditions of some walls/ceiling/baseboards were in poor conditions, badly in need of paint touchups. The ceiling in the living room clearly shows water stains from previous leak, yet, it appears noone considered painting over the repairs, very unsightly to look at. The master bedroom has 1 picture (it appears that there used to be 2 but the remaining one has not been centered over bed, so looks awkward hanging over one side) with a sizable crack through the length of the picture... made me seriously wonder if in the middle of the night the picture fell, the glass would shatter and cut us on our faces/head. There are numerous spots in on walls, mostly in living room, master bed & bath that need paint touchups, living room recliner has a good size tear in the headrest and there is a small hole in hall bath door. Lastly, we had difficulty getting in upon check in as the door handle/lock is very finicky. We called the 'maintenance ph #' on the door and left a voicemail. Noone ever returned our call all weekend. The door handle continued to be very tricky the remainder of our stay, especially while in the house, it was hard to turn handle to exit. I gave overall rating of 3, because of the issues above. It was fine for my husband & I but had I invited family members/guest, I would have been embarrassed of the condition.

Great beachfront home

My sister was visiting from out of state and we thought it would be nice to go and stay in a home on the beach. The weather did not cooperate, but it was still a great trip. It was wonderful to be able to watch the ocean waves from the living room and kitchen area while visiting. The beach was quiet and peaceful and very relaxing. The home was extremely clean.

The house was nice, unfortunately we were caught in the historic storm and couldn't get out of the house. A bag of salt would have been good. The storm was anticipated.

Perfect location

The property is in a perfect location, away from the crowds and not a bunch of structures on top of or besides one another. True beachfront with little to no traffic. The home itself has everything you need from dishes, silverware, mixer, coffee maker and so much more just bring your own things you like for foods and what not.Home and property was very well maintained and cleaned. Only thing we had issues with this trip was very low water pressure especially in the showers, but we were aware they were doing work on the local infrastructure and no fault to the actual property, but would def keep an eye on it knowing how that works. Communication throughout the booking process and even during the stay was very helpful, and attentive. Absolutely the best stay we have had on the Bolivar Peninsula. Will definitely be back! Thank you!

Girls Trip

This is our 4th time to stay at Beach Quest I believe. A group of 8-10 current and former co-workers take a trip each summer. This is by far our favorite house. Beach is mere steps from house and almost private. We rented a golf cart so us "older" ladies could get out on the beach. We had a blast!
