The property was perfect. Fantastic location and easy and close beach house. Love the basket ball goal and ping pong table for the kids as well. Will def rent this property again
Great stay , the beach is a few minute walk (1min drive) the house was better than expected . Well kept and great space and plenty of space for kids . The pictures do no justice as it is a very nice home , I love that the whole bottom area is gated to keep our smaller children from wondering off. We will definitely be returning !!
The house was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need! Even when we were tired from the beach there was a lot to do at the house whether it was games to play or movies to watch. The owner was very kind and attentive to our needs! The house was also within walking distance of the beach and in a great location! The kids loved the triple bunk beds and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep! We will definitely be booking here again!
We loved Bits of Sol beach cabin for our family (from Beaumont, TX, Lenexa, Kansas, and Dronfield, England). We had 4 adults and 5 cousins, age 2-8.
Besides being beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, the bedrooms/beds were perfect for us. Master bedroom bed was so comfortable, had a nice TV, and a very nice bathroom. The older kids loved the triple bunk beds, pong game, and TV with games in their room. The third bedroom was great for two adults and the 2-1/2 year old loved her top bunk!
The kitchen and laundry room were great, with most everything we needed. Very nice thick beach towels, too.
The outside area was awesome- wonderful deck with many chairs and hammock, and bottom floor ping pong table, washers and cornhole games, warm outdoor shower, many beach chairs, boogie boards, buckets, shovels. We rented a 6 person beach buggy from West Canal Beach Buggies, which was fun. But the cabin was close enough for an easy walk to the beach, so a golf cart or buggy isn’t a necessity. Lucky for us, the weather was perfect during our 3 day stay.
The owner, Kristen, was very nice and easy to communicate with.
We highly recommend this place, and would love to stay again sometime!
Definitely enjoyed the weekend stay! Would rent out this property again without a doubt. Very clean and had all that we needed. Communication with owner was very fast too. Definately appreciated!
We really enjoyed staying at Bits of sol. The house was clean, cozy, had most things we needed (bring your own blender and salt/pepper/condiments!), games, beach chairs, wagon, etc. We really had fun. The only drawback for me, since we had a 3-year old with special needs was that there was not a gate at the top of the stairs, but rather the gate is halfway in between the stairs at the landing. We really wish there was a gate at the top of the stairs, I wasn't able to just sit on the deck and relax since I had to watch my 3-year old like a hawk. One time he was walking backwards and almost fell down the stairs, thankfully we were able to catch him on time. One of the reasons why we booked this property was for the fenced-in yard, which was a plus. We had a 3, 4, 6 and 7-year olds with us (siblings and cousins), so we were able to relax downstairs for a bit while they played, so I think this property would work really well with older children. If you have younger ones, keep in mind there is no gate at the top of the stairs, so someone has to watch them judiciously. Also, if your 3-year old is like mine, they kept on wanting to go up to the third bunk, but we got around this by taking off the ladder to the third bunk and placing it in the laundry room. We would return it when it was time for bed. Otherwise, this house was fabulous! We would highly recommend it.
From the moment we booked our stay at Bits of Sol, Kristin was so sweet and helpful. She communicated with me quickly and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. The home is beautiful and has a ton of amenities! Very kid and adult friendly. We look forward to staying here again!
It was our second time here. What a lovely place to relax and enjoy family. It was clean and had all of the amenities you can need to enjoy the beach. Thanks to the owner who is so responsive and kind. You will love staying here. We can’t wait to return.
This home was clean and comfortable and is decorated beautifully! We rented golf cars during our stay and had a lot of fun driving them up and down the beach. (The beach was very busy and I don't think we would have enjoyed the beach nearly as much if we had not rented them.) The kids loved the ping pong table and Xbox! For the adults, it was a nice surprise being able to hear the sounds of the water while sitting out on the deck. (You can also catch a small glimpse of the water and waves from one section of the deck.) The homeowner was kind and helpful with any questions. We really enjoyed our stay!
Super clean. We’ll stocked. Outdoor seating and views are great. So many extras. Phone charger is a plus. Easy to get to beach. Really couldn’t be better. Felt like we were at home.
The property was beautiful and very clean. Everything we needed was there and Kristen was easy to reach if we needed. The only thing I wish I would have known (which is my fault because I didn’t ask) is that there is a Keurig rather than a traditional coffee pot. We were able to enjoy our time & make great memories in the house as well as in the outside spaces! Great place to stay!!!
Our stay was excellent. The house was clean and had everything you coukd possibly need for a beach vacation. Can't wait to book our next stay at this house.
The property was beautiful and clean. The homeowners were friendly, helpful and kind. I would love to come back to this property again. It was very spacious. Only a very few stayed overnight, but family and friends visited during the day. The beach was too packed, but there was a lot of space to have activity on the bottom area. We loved it.
The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was so nice to have sheets, towels, dish detergent, paper towels, etc. provided instead of having to bring all of that with us. The beach was a 5-10 minute walk (depending if our children were walking or being carried). We were grateful for the beach chairs, wagon and toys as well. The house was perfect for our group and we would happily recommend it to friends and family. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. They went above and beyond for us. Thanks for a great stay!!
We had a wonderful time at Bits of Sol. Everyone in our party said that they would stay at this house again. Communication with property owner was prompt and friendly. This is what a vacation should be like, carefree and relaxing!
We absolutely loved the look of this home, it was beautifully decorated in the perfect beach theme and had the right amount of space for our family! It was also fully stocked with everything we needed, they thought of everything. Thanks so much, we’ll be visiting again soon!

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property immediately! We love the slough/canal behind the house and there is so much space and privacy. The open kitchen and living room allows for large families and friends to enjoy this retreat together.
What makes this property unique
This house is unique because it sits on two lots which are completely fenced in. The kids can play outside worry-free while mom and dad relax on the beautiful wrap around deck.
