Bolivar Peninsula Getaway

This home was large, new, and just as beautiful as the pictures! We had such a great time and never wanted for anything. Thoughtful owners have thought of every convenience. We loved hanging out in the hot tub, heated pool, and downstairs game room. There was truly something for everyone, and just steps from the beach.

Beautiful home in remote location

The house was absolutely beautiful and the views were amazing. I wish I would have known ahead of time that I could not get food or groceries delivered to the home. Someone before us had spilled in the oven and made a mess I tried to clean it but it still needs cleaned. The left front burner on the stove does not work. A clip on the pool is already broken. The front door is very hard to get latched and locked. The house was as promised but the area was a bit to be desired for my family. The restaurant choices were sparse and the grocery store produce seemed old. The ferry was fine but I was not prepared that we would need to take that almost daily to eat at restaurants. Since we were there in the off season many places on the beach were closed.

Beautiful Home, great trip!

This home is absolutely beautiful. It is conveniently located to stores and just 15 minutes from the ferry. Like many VRBO homes, the owners have a book waiting for your arrival to fill you in on everything. They have also included some interesting places to visit on the island. The home has just about all you will need. There are so many things to keep everyone entertained. The firepit is an added bonus. Some towels for the beach are provided, but between the pool, hot tub and beach, bringing your own as well is a good idea. You'll probably be in out of the water constantly. Everything in the home was brand new, so we ran out and got some aluminum foil to use to cover their sheet pans when we cooked to keep them looking new too (no, they didn't ask to do that - yes, I know it's a rental and they expect things to get used. I like things to stay nice for when we go back, and we will go back). About the only thing they don't have is a lift, so if you have older folks the stairs may be a bit much for them. The yard is fenced in which is great for small kids because there was a lot of traffic on the beach (which is common for Boliver I've been told). Thanks again for sharing your home with us, it was lovely!! Can't wait to visit again with the family.

I enjoy living life to the fullest and love providing that same experience for our guest which is why we started Southern Sands Property Management. I went to Texas A&M and grew up in the Houston area. Crystal Beach/Galveston has always been a popular destination for my family and I love that we now get to spend more time in one of the most relaxing places you can; THE BEACH!
