Beautiful home. Had a scent of cigarettes when walked in but got used to it. Needs chairs on the top deck. Otherwise, amazing!

Our beach getaway was great and we wouldn't hesitate to come stay again! Nina was the BEST host and was very responsive to any inquiries we had. The house and location were perfect for our little crew with a 6 and 8 yr old and our family dog. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room to sprawl out. The covered deck was a great spot with a view to hang out and relax. It's hard to get much closer to the sand! Super easy walking distance suitable for all ages, but you can also grab a beach pass sticker for 10 from the Big Store and drive and park on the beach. The kids collected a ton of "sea beans" and shells, and we even found 2 shark teeth as we walked down the beach at low tide! The area felt very safe and we strolled the beach with flashlights each night and never felt uncomfortable. My kids even made friends and played at the beach with a boy staying in the house nextdoor. Our week of Bolivar adventures was full of fun and we can't wait to come back again! Thanks for helping us create awesome memories!
