Clean but not as described
Beside the steps to this property is what seems to be a large “pool” by the pictures since the listing talks about a pool. (Pool is actually a few streets over) Had I known that in fact is not a pool but a swamp if you will which is a complete breeding ground for mosquitoes. We literally could barely get in our car and close the door and had 30-40 mosquitoes in the car with us. You cannot enjoy outside under the house at all due to the mosquito infestation. We could not grill or sit downstairs because of how bad they were . No ceiling fans in the bedrooms so bring a fan they provide one box fan. No table or tv trays to play board games or cards on we all had to sit on the beds to play cards/games. To get to the beach you have to cross a two lane highway that people fly down so walking is not an option to the beach. I did let the property owner know about the mosquitoes but looking in the guest book they have been aware of the issue since end of May first of June.

Perfect birthday trip!
My boyfriend and I have birthdays very close together so we booked the house along with some friends to have a little birthday getaway. The house is located about a block from the beach, within walking distance. It was very clean, the couch and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had every dish you could need to cook with, and some basic food items such as spices and cooking spray etc. Plenty of seating. The outdoor shower was so wonderful for finsing off after the beach! 10/10 will be staying again!

July Getaway
The property was beautiful, very well maintained, and our older teen loved the loft and the separation it gave him. The hosts were amazing and extremely responsive. The pool was unfortunately not ready for our use, but the storm just came through so I am sure there were more important things for the community to worry about. We would definitely stay here again, or any property Jessica and Mindy managed!

Most Relaxing Beach Getaway!!
This house is the perfect place to stay in Bolivar! It’s located in a very cute and updated neighborhood that’s a little outside of town, but still not too far away. The house is right across the street from a beach access road and it’s the perfect spot to set up for the day! It’s also located right next to a fire pit and just a small walk away from the neighborhood pool which is also very nice and clean! Jess and Mindy were so helpful in answering any and all questions that I had. The welcome basket that they provided with snacks and waters was so thoughtful. Even the pillows on the bed were so comfortable that I had to purchase the same exact ones for my own home! You’ll definitely be able to get some rest and have some fun staying here. 😎
