Had all we needed in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable and loved the electric recliners to relax and watch Christmas movies. Close access to the beach and in a very quiet part of the island.

This is a small house, by Bolivar standards, but it was clean and included all the amenities like towels and kitchen gadgets. The host responded quickly to my minor wifi problem. (The wifi is Starlink, and works great if you choose the right network.)You can judge it by the two biggest problems:1. No kitchen table to spread out my computer stuff and work indoors with a view of the ocean. There is a nice picnic table on the outdoor deck, but I got unlucky with the weather.2. The ocean view was marred but the back of another house. I could still see the surf, but there was that house...If these are the worst problems (and they were) that's good news. Overall, it was fairly priced, and maybe a little better than fair, relative to other Bolivar rentals.

Super cute place and very clean. Check-in/out was very easy. We loved the views of the beach and ocean. The big patios provided a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the ocean views. It was so nice! Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking equipment and utensils. Anything else we needed was just a short walk or drive down the road. Loved that we could even drive on to the beach nearby. The only thing I wish I had done, was take my own bed pillows. They have pillows but they are very thin and flimsy. No support and not comfortable. Would definitely like to stay here again!

The house was just perfect for us. Check in instructions given by the host were spot on and easy to understand and follow. The house was clean, well stocked and with one of the most comfortable beds in the primary bedroom that I have ever slept on. The kitchen had everything I needed even though we did not cook a lot, to put a nice meal together. Elizabeth Bell is a gracious host and would love to rent from her again sometime.

Very cute property with gulf views

Everything was decorated and stocked. Bed had some sand in it but we refreshed it in the laundry. And it was very comfy after long days prepping for a wedding. Our only regret is not being able to enjoy the amenities and beach. We were there for a wedding and would love to come back and be able to cook, relax and to enjoy the views and beach

Cozy cabin

We loved our stay at this cabin. Home is small, adorable & decorated so cute. It is walking distance to the beach and you have an amazing view of the water. No beach access, but one street over and you can drive onto the beach. It had everything we needed. We had one minor issue which the host took care of immediately. We would definitely stay here again in the future!!
