Beautiful and Quiet!

We loved our time in this house! It was GREAT for our large group- the double fridge and double laundry was so helpful! This house is on a more secluded part of the beach, keeping us far from crowds and noise. We absolutely loved this house!

Great Beach House

Our family enjoyed staying at DayDreamer at end of July. Plenty of space for everyone to visit together, cook together or get away for some quiet time. LOVED the location on the beach, not alot of foot or vehicle traffic...almost like it was our own private beach! Check in and out instructions were great, house was clean and had every amenity we needed...hope to stay here again!!

The Ultimate Family Beach House

We absolutely loved our stay at this beach house! It was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. Having two refrigerators and two sets of laundry facilities was such a convenience for our group. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and nicely appointed, and the outdoor spaces were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. Best of all, it's right on the beach—we could step straight out onto the sand. Highly recommend this home for a relaxing and hassle-free beach getaway!

Great family vacation!

This "Beach House" is perfect! It is exactly as described online. Our large family fit perfectly in the seven bedrooms. The kitchen/living area was very large as well as the outdoor deck. Did I mention it is right on the beach! The kids had so much fun swimming and hanging out on the beach. We enjoyed staying at DayDreamer so much! Definitely recommend staying here and would love to stay again!! Thank you bolivarvacations.com!

Great spot for family and friend beach fun!

This house had everything we could need and more for a great long weekend at the beach. Plenty of space to relax and have fun with friends and family. An easy walk to the beach, and a close drive to beach access through car if needed.

Beach Stay

My family and I stayed here between Christmas and New Year's. The house is very roomy, clean and is updated nicely. A bonus is it has two refrigerators. It is right on the beach and also has plenty of parking. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this house.

The house was wonderful. Fully equipped and right on the beach. We had a little trouble with the door at check-in and only 2 burners would work on the grill but other than that, it was great! Would definitely recommend and stay again!
