Nice place with some issues

Overall nice place, just some issues we had to take care of. The tub didn’t drain, so we had to buy Drano. There was no dish towels, so we bought a couple of those. No cookie sheets, so we bought a couple foil pans. I would recommend as the location is good and we had fun!

Perfect beach location

This is our 3rd stay at this house and it is always perfect. The host is very accommodating, keeps us informed on check in and check out, and will check on us after check-in to make sure everything is in order. The house is equipped with everything that is needed for the stay. The rooms are spacious. The house is locked just a short distance from the beach. We will have many more stays at this house. Already planning for next year. If you are looking for the perfect beach vacation, you will not be disappointed with the Seagull's Nest, Crystal Beach.

Perfect Beach Trip

We had the most amazing time on our Beach Trip in large part to The Seagull's Nest! Our accommodations were perfect! We were greeting with goodie bags for our kiddos, clearly stated directions on what to do, what not to do and where we could find anything we needed! We got to Port Bolivar every summer for our annual vacation and this house had the best location thus far! We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back as often as we can!! I also want to note that a communication text was sent before we got there to give us all the check in directions and also the morning after checking in making sure we had everything we needed! Thank you for the over the top hospitality!!!

Bday weekend

One of the BEST Airbnb stays ever! A beautiful beach house that’s well stocked, neat and clean. Accommodated our family well. The owners even left special treats for our 16 yo birthday boy! We thought that was a nice touch. 🙂. We had an amazing weekend at ‘The Seagulls’ Nest’ and would gladly recommend the place to any and everyone! Can’t wait ‘til our next visit!
