Perfect place to relax and connect

by Terrie M
If you are on the hunt for a beautiful home to stay at on Bolivar Peninsula, Shiloh by the Sea is your place! It is a historical home that survived the 1900 hurricane. It has 5 bedrooms (one bedroom downstairs and rest are upstairs), 2.5 baths, plenty of space, two refrigerators, a great kitchen with all the things we needed to cook and serve everyone, a big yard- outdoor space. We loved the dining table —as it had games underneath in the drawers including the directions to play them. The hosts thought of everything as they set up the home for guests. My favorite spot to have coffee in the morning was on the side porch with the high Adirondack chairs— perfect view of the lighthouse! The beds were so comfortable- it was hard to get out of bed each morning. It’s a couple minutes from the ferry, a quick drive to the beach— a perfect location. This home is GORGEOUS!

Thank you for allowing us to occupy this wonderful home.  The entire family enjoyed our trip.  10/10 would definitely recommend to others.

We booked this house for our family get together.  There were 20 of us staying in this house comprised of adults and children.  The 2.5 baths can prove charging with a group this size but we made it work well!  The bathrooms were updated beautifully!  The beds and living space was comfortable.  The kitchen was absolutely with everything we needed to cook and serve everyone.  The window units may seem outdated some.  However they cooled us well in the midst of the hot Texas summer! We used the outdoor space to drink coffee at sunrise and enjoy each other's company in the shade! The only issue we had were sugar ants in a couple of places that Janice and team promptly responded and help to resolve (on the evening before the holiday! Talk about customer service). If you are debating staying at this house, book it! You will be happy you did.

House is lovely!

by Sisa A

Mosquitoes are viscous! House is great. All bathrooms are on the first floor which is odd. Would love to stay again!
