About this property

FARMHOUSE BY THE SEA! Luxurious home with endless ocean views.

Farmhouse by the Sea is located in a small, private, gated community and is not your ordinary beach house. It is absolutely the perfect, peaceful getaway for creating memories that will last a lifetime. This amazing 5 bedroom and 4 bath beach house has incredible views, a spacious floor plan that is thoughtfully laid out, sleeps up to 12 people very comfortably and accommodates covered parking for 4 vehicles.

Upstairs you will not be able to get enough of our 640 sq. foot massive composite deck equipped with 6 rocking chairs, 4 spectator chairs, 2 sun tan loungers, 10' farm table with benches and a comfy hammock. You can take in the sound of the waves while sipping on a morning cup of coffee as the sun peeks over the ocean horizon. Maybe sit back and enjoy a cold one in the afternoon as you relax in a rocking chair or catch some sun on the tanning loungers? How about an evening nap in the hammock? Whatever you chose, you can relax and you will not have to hear the busy beach noises. If you want "THE ZOO", this is NOT the house for you! Downstairs, we have a tall 4 seater table and additional seating for you to watch friends and family play games while you grill. You can shoot some baskets, toss a football or play a game of washers inside a secure fenced area for little ones (all provided).

The inside of this custom designed farmhouse is just as spectacular as the outside. The large spacious living area looks out towards the blue water and sandy beach in all directions and is perfect for lounging, watching some TV or playing board and card games (stored under the TV). The high end kitchen in unreal and is made for serving families. The huge island has seating for 10, 2 farm sinks, 2 dish washers, Wolf stove with griddle, double oven, full size stainless freezer and refrigerator, stand alone ice maker machine, Keurig coffee maker, traditional coffee pot and the cabinets and drawers are stocked with everything you will need to feel right at home. The extra-long farm table has seating for up to 14 for family style serving. There are two laundry rooms (one on each floor). Downstairs we have a primary bedroom with a magnificent bath and a second bedroom with a king size mattress. Upstairs there is another primary bedroom with a king size bed and bath, a second bedroom with a queen size mattress and one more room equipped with a set of full bunk beds.

This serene beach home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac with lots of natural vegetation all around. The beach front is actually growing at this stretch of Crystal Beach! Come take a relaxing stroll down the quiet beach, search for sea shells and sharks teeth, make some sand castles or take a shot at landing a monster redfish in the surf. After soaking up all the beach has to offer there is an outdoor shower downstairs to rinse off before heading up.

We look forward to having you as our guest and are excited about the memories you and your special loved ones will make here!

Beautiful place for the perfect relaxing vacation.

Cousins along with our grown children, their spouses and a couple of grandchildren had the best relaxing vacation. Owner was in touch and offering advice a couple of days before arrival. There was something for all ages to enjoy. So spacious and very well decorated and equipped. We had a great time!

Family Beach Vacation with Grandkids

From the moment I signed up online to secure the property, I immediately heard from James, the Owner which made me feel at ease. The beach home as well as the customer service from the owner exceeded my expectations. This was an awesome vacation for the family and especially the grandkids.

Beautifully decorated beach house

The property is very well maintained, the decoration and details make you want to stay all day inside although the porch is large and has very nice views. Great upscale appliances. The communication with the host is not only fast and easy but he is very flexible.

Great House and Location

This is the best rental property that I have stayed in. The house was clean when we arrived. Spacious house with enough room to accommodate 9 people easily. Modern house with a lot of amenities. The house is located within walking distance to the beach. James is an outstanding host. He’s very attentive and friendly. I would stay here again. I highly recommend this property.

4th of July

Our hosts, James and Josie, went above and beyond to make sure our stay in their beautiful home was A+++! The home is unbelievably decorated and everything is top of the line! Literally James went the extra mile to make sure everything was as described on VBRO. We have been renting on Bolivar 20+ years and this was by far the best home and best rental experience yet! Thank you for making our trip memorable!!

Perfection

This is by far the best home in which we've stayed. James and Jodie made our family feel as though we were staying as house guests in their home (which we were, in a way). The property was immaculate and had everything you could need. The location was great! There was ample space indoors and outdoors (where we mostly stayed!). The view of the Gulf is unmatched. The beach was a very short walk, but we followed James' advice and rented a golf cart so we could load up everyone and our "stuff" with ease. We do not stay in many rental homes, but if they were all like this one - we would have no hesitation. Hopefully we will be welcomed back next Summer.

Perfect place to stay!!

We celebrated my adult kids birthdays for July.. We had 8 adults and an infant. The home is just gorgeous with all the high-in touches. The kitchen, family room, dining table and deck were awesome for gathering with plenty of room and chairs for everyone. We did not want for a thing!!! Great for grilling and playing downstairs. The beach is just a hop, skip and jump but we also rented a golf cart which was very handy. Great view of the gulf from the deck which is perfect for the sea breeze and star watching in the evening. What a fabulous place to gather & relax!! The host was very responsive to ANY questions we had. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎

Just ideal, a memorable place

Our stay at this home was fantastic, and we made unforgettable memories. The front balcony was perfect for morning coffee and family conversations, offering a breathtaking view of the Gulf and a refreshing evening breeze. The house layout was designed to provide enough space for everyone to be together while still allowing for personal space. The open-concept design and well-equipped kitchen made meal preparation and game nights a breeze, making our stay even more enjoyable. The owners were gracious, providing all the necessary information before and during our stay. They quickly responded to our questions, ensuring we were well-prepared and comfortable. The house layout was well-suited to our group's needs, with a lovely ocean-view balcony and group conversation areas. Access to the beach was excellent while maintaining a sense of privacy. I would highly recommend this property and would love to stay here again. I hope to return soon!

Felt like home!

A beautiful home with everything that we needed. Very spacious and would accommodate a large family comfortably. Three bedrooms have their own bathrooms and the two additional bedrooms share a hallway bathroom. We enjoyed a few games of horse with the basketball goal and other outdoor games provided. We found the beds/mattresses to be very comfortable and the box fans provided in each room provided the white noise that we are accustomed to having at home. The owner, James, is very responsive to all inquiries and we enjoyed our communications with him regarding the property, recommendations for golf cart rentals and restaurants, etc. The beach house is just a short walk/drive from the beach and about 10 minutes from the Big Store (market). If you ever decide to sell this one, let us know!

Fun July 4th Vacation with Family🇺🇸

This property was perfect for our family vacation & exceeded our expectations! The kitchen had high-end appliances for meal prep. It had a very large freezer/frig for storing groceries & double sinks/dishwashers for quick cleanup offering more time for fun! Plenty of seating for all guests. Giant open concept area designed with soft colors & so relaxing after a day on sunny beach. Large open deck allowed both sun/shade & was best seat in house for fireworks. Bedrooms all offered personal bathroom accommodations. The downstairs area was great for activities. We brought a portable volleyball net that kids/adults had a great time playing. They also had a basketball goal & lots of other cool games for outdoor play. Skim boards, body boards & beach toys were also available. Location was perfect; a short 2 minute walk to the beach and not in the crazy “zoo area”. We would definitely like to book another stay here! This place is absolutely beautiful!!

Great Family Beach Stay

From start to finish James and his vacation house went above and beyond what we were expecting. From the super comfortable beds to the amazing kitchen with an awesome coffee maker, to the beach views from the porch. This was by far my family’s most comfortable and relaxing vacation spot yet. It was like going to a Chip and Joanna Gaines beach house for the week!

House out of a magazine!

This house is so beautiful and very close to the beach, short walking distance. There is so much space for families! The deck is so nice and the underneath is fenced in and great for kids and adults to enjoy! Short distance to ferry but if during peak seasons may experience ample wait times. Overall great house great location and exceptional HOSTS! The owners even had a birthday present upon arrival for my daughter turning since she was turning 4 while we were there!! Book this house, You won’t be disappointed❤️

Overall we had an amazing time. The view was amazing and it was a short distance to the beach. The house was beautiful and clean. And the communication with the owner was great! There was an accident with someone hitting an electric pole. So we lost power but owners did everything they could to help us out and even offered to to refund some money back. All in all a really good experience.

About the host

Hosted by James Breaux

Host profile image
We live in Houston and have always wanted to have a second home that would draw our entire family back to us! We have four adult kids that are all in their early to mid 20's that are spread out all over the country.

Why they chose this property

This house screams family fun. We could easily see how well it would work for us today and down the road as our kids get married and have children of their own. We will not outgrow this home.
