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!!

Sweet and Shaky
Overall the apartment (up on 12 foot beams, like every place on the island) fully met our needs. It was a fun beach place to stay on the Bolivar Peninsula, close to High Island and other great birding spots. Only issue was the shaking of the structure caused by the 25 knot winds that blew for our entire 3 night stay. Probably would be fixable by cross-bracing.
House was so clean and it had all the items. They kept all the expected items for a family. Nice view to beach.

2nd time here and we love this place
This is the 2nd year my family has stayed at the house. It is the prefect size for my family of 4. Great views and easy access to the beach.
However, I would say the outdoor sitting area is missing furniture on the lower level and also the dryer does not work.
Overall, however the stay was good!

Perfect location, nice clean house
Super close to the beach, host communicated all necessary and helpful info, house was clean and in good order. Beaches were not crowded and area was nice. We all had an absolutely great time and would definitely return.
Our only issues had nothing to do with the property, but for those who don't know this Texas area, we were definitely caught off guard by the local mosquitos! If you're prone to bites, I recommend lots of bug spray for the Bolivar Peninsula!

Even Better in Person!
Lovely space with all you need and then some, including four bunks. You can see and hear the ocean and walk to it within five minutes. And within just a 10 minute drive (west) you'll reach nicer (but busier) beaches. When you buy the beach access pass (for your car to be parked on the beach), it will last a year and as of 3/24 costs $10. Happy Travels!

Perfect Getaway Weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for Mardi Gras weekend! The house is adorable and fit was the perfect size for us and our two kids. The master bed is very comfortable and the ocean views from the house can’t be beat!! Lots of memories made!
