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

This beautiful waterfront home is located in a quiet area of the Bolivar Peninsula, uniquely situated between the only gulf-side boat launch and Fort Travis Seaside Park. Unobstructed views of the Bolivar Roads Anchorage allow you to watch the ship traffic and ferries entering the channel, as well as Galveston Island. In the mornings, you can sit out on the deck with a cup of coffee while watching the breathtaking sunrise and listening to the sounds of the waves. On the Rocks is located between Fort Travis and the North Jetty, and there is a private beach between the two - right in front of the home!

The open concept living/kitchen area features tasteful decor and cozy seating, as well as a smart TV (high speed internet provided for your streaming needs). The modern, well-stocked kitchen has all you need to prepare and serve meals, and you'll love the convenience of the on-site washer and dryer.

With over 1700 square feet, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home sleeps up to 10 people. The primary bedroom features a king bed, and the remaining two bedrooms have 2 queen beds in each.

Need more room? The house next door, Off the Hook, is also for rent and shares a connecting deck.

We would stay there again
Overall good. House itself is nice and clean. Good water pressure. Listing states you have to request linens. Its $125 for sheets and towels but you still have to put the sheets on the bed.. toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags not provided. Beach is small but clean and nice. A/C wasn't working at full capacity the first day but management responded immediately and it was fixed within a couple of hours. View is great and there is a small park next to the neighborhood with a historic army bunker. Gave us something extra to do when we were done at the beach. Perfect spot for families with small children.

Loved It!
I loved the location of this property. It's right on the end of the peninsula where one can see all the ships pass by to and from Galveston / Port of Houston. It's also within a few minutes walk of the North Jetty which also has a bate camp. I liked that it's within minutes of the Port Bolivar - Galveston ferry so I could conveniently hop over to the island at will. The unit was exceptionally clean with a nice kitchen. The huge TV is another plus. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. The deck is very large and a great place to lounge and enjoy the weather. I really can't think of a bad thing to say about the property. It seemed to have everything I needed to enjoy my stay yet not over cluttered with stuff. Swedes management were very nice and quick to respond to requests. I loved this place so much I asked to extend my stay for a couple of days and they facilitated this request within an hour. I will certainly be renting this property again in the future. I absolutely loved it!

Relaxing Getaway
Aside from the AC issues on the first 24hrs. our stay was amazing. I would definitely recommend this rental for my friends and family. The home was clean, gorgeous, and the views were beautiful. They responded promptly to our AC problem and made a generous offer to adjust our price due to the inconvenience it caused us.
