Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

This is our second time to have our annual beach trip at EZ Street. It is the perfect house for us. Great location, away from the crowds but very convenient to get to the Big Store. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, playing games in the living room, and having three bathrooms is perfect. We all agreed we hope to stay here again next year.

This was our fourth time staying at EZ Street beach house and each time has been amazing! We were celebrating my husband’s 55th birthday with two other couples. The house has everything you need and the kitchen is stocked with any cooking item needed. The beds are super comfortable with very soft sheets and fluffy pillows. The outside area is great as well! We will definitely be booking again!

Great stay!

This was our 4th time to stay here and it was just as perfect as the other times. I love that the kitchen is so organized and has great utensils and pots and pans. The bedrooms have ceiling fans and extra fans if you need them. There are plenty of extra pillows and blankets. You can walk directly out to the beach from the house. This is our favorite house at Bolivar!
