On the Rocks: 3 BR, 2 BA House in Port Bolivar, Sleeps 10

I stayed at this property through VRBO, and while the home itself was beautiful and in a great location, the hospitality was extremely disappointing. For the amount of money we paid, I was shocked by how little thought was given to basic guest comfort.There were absolutely no bath towels, no hand towels, no sheets, and no pillowcases provided. There was also only one roll of toilet paper. I have never stayed anywhere that was so lacking in basic essentials. The customer care and hospitality aspect felt completely absent, and honestly, I would give that part a zero.The home was fairly clean overall, but it still needed attention. I had to clean out the refrigerator because there was a bug inside along with some caked-on residue. I also had to go over the floors after arriving because there was light dust. I understand that no place is ever absolutely perfect, but the attention to detail was clearly missing here.The home was beautifully furnished, which I appreciated, but even that was overshadowed by the inconvenience. There was a TV in each room, yet only the living room TV actually worked. There were no basic channels or meaningful entertainment options available in the other rooms.Overall, the property had potential and looked nice, but the lack of basic hospitality and preparation for guests really took me off guard. Unfortunately, what could have been a great stay was ruined by poor host attention to the essentials.

Overall, the experience was good, but paying an additional fee for bed sheets and towels was disappointing. We chose not to pay for them and brought our own instead. You will also need to bring your kitchen towels, dish soap, hand soap, trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels. You will need some extra planning to be comfortable.

Other than the refrigerator and bbq pit not being completely cleaned prior to our arrival, the place was immaculate. Every item one could possibly need was provided along with a few extras. I do highly recommend getting the linen service for convenience. Lastly the location was perfect and as others mentioned, watching the passing cargo ships out in the ocean was added entertainment.

Great property for 2 families of 5 with kids. The property manager was very responsive when we noticed an issue with the sewer/plumbing building up in the yard. Very pleased with this property.

observed disturbing behavior on beach and spot lights from people sleeping on the beach shining into face on balcony

We had a great stay. We were at the far end of the beach. It was quiet and the kids enjoyed the big yard and being able to right in front of our house.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is located in a quiet, serene neighborhood and has the most amazing views. I loved seeing the glow of the ocean liners moored off the coast. It is just a quick walk to the nearly secluded beach, yet everything in Crystal Beach is a mere 10 minutes away. The house itself is very spacious and decorated cutely. I was able to prepare my Thanksgiving dishes in the large kitchen and we enjoyed our time around the huge kitchen island. We loved our Thanksgiving stay here.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Snap on lights for the stairs would be safe at night. TV's in the bedrooms didn't work.

Location was great watching the cruise ships & commercial vessels come through. Deck was great. Inside was roomy for 5 adults. Great quiet getaway.
