Thanks for a great stay!

Great house; everything was clean, new, and well stocked. Spectacular views from the deck. My family had an excellent stay. This location is great for beachcombing as well. Just be sure to bring your bug spray (normal for this part of Texas). Would definitely recommend staying at Seabatical!

Amazing

We enjoyed every minute! The house was so clean and well stocked! The upstairs loft was absolutely perfect our kids they had their own tv and bathroom! Everything was perfect! We lost power the last day due to a storm rolling in , but hardly noticed because we spent most of the time at the beach! Great for large groups.

Extended family vacation

Property was very well thought out. If we needed something, it was there! Everything was fabulous inside and out. View of the ocean was spectacular. We will definitely be back. It was perfect for our family. ( we never did find a dust pan, though I’m sure there was one there but that is an easy problem to solve so we were good).

About the host

Host profile image
After vacationing on Bolivar, we decided to purchase a couple of homes. After several years of sharing the houses with others, we decided to build several houses for family and friends to gather and fellowship.
We live in Dallas, TX and enjoy escaping to this quiet, peaceful beach.
We want you to experience this wonderful place where you can relax and enjoy!
