Other than the unit is clean and complete with their amenities ( kitchen, laundry bathroom) the big + factor is the location which is beachfront.. So relaxing that kids stayed the whole day in the shore.

We will be back! Such a great location and layout for a fun and relaxing get away for a family. The closeness to the beach allowed us to easily haul all our beach toys without the experience being pained by a long walk. The house was clean and had all the amenities needed to take care of a family for meals, entertainment, and sleeping arrangements. Looking forward already to our return!

Beautiful stay

The Yellow Rose was perfect for our stay. It was able to accommodate our group of 12 with no issues. It’s clean, beautifully decorated and has plenty of space. The deck is amazing - overlooking the beach. You are literally walking distance to the beach! The views are gorgeous and it’s an easy drive back to the store or restaurants. The host was also quick to respond if we had an issues or questions!

Wonderful Weekend

This was our second visit to the Yellow Rose and it did not disappoint. It's far enough out to get away from the crowds, but close enough to be convenient to the Big Store and restaurants. We spent most of the time on the deck and each day was like a different season. Getting up before the sunrise let's you see that orange glow before the magnificent rise above the water. One day was like sitting by a lake...no waves or crashing sound of the water. But on this day, we were surprised at all the dolphins. Some were playing and breached the water. There was a fox, a flock of white pelicans, and persistent hawk that gave quite a display of nature. The unit was clean with all necessities!

Amazing Time!!!

This is our second stay at Bolivar Peninsula. This location was almost impossible to beat! Direct access to the beach spoiled us with the ability to get the best out of this rental while also enjoying the beach all the time. Great overall experience and will absolutely go back. The kids loved it, the surf fishing was awesome, and the house was comfortable.
