About this house rental

About the Property
Kick off the New Year at Salt Marsh Escape—a spacious 6-bedroom retreat perfect for group gatherings and family reunions. Located on the quieter side of Bolivar Peninsula in Gilchrist, this home is just steps from the sand. Experience sweeping Gulf and Bay views, relax in your own private hot tub, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of a near-beachfront location without the beachfront price tag.

The House
This expansive two-story home features a vaulted great room that opens to wraparound decks, offering unobstructed west-facing views for incredible sunsets. With 13 beds across 6 bedrooms, there is plenty of room for 16+ guests to spread out.

Gourmet Kitchen: Cook for the whole group in a fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and a large granite island.

Entertainment: Stay connected with high-speed Wifi and 7 Smart TVs throughout the home, including a 75" screen in the living room.

Kids' Favorite: A lively bunk/game room features strobe lights for a fun, party-like atmosphere for children and teens.

Outdoor Amenities: The ground-level lounge includes a private hot tub (jacuzzi), an outdoor shower, a park-style charcoal grill, and a 55" Smart TV.

Location & Proximity
Located in the peaceful Gilchrist area on a private street with minimal traffic, you are perfectly positioned for a quiet getaway while remaining just a 5-minute drive from the main restaurants and attractions of Crystal Beach.

Beach Access: We are in "row three," meaning you are just a very short walk from the shoreline—close enough to hear the waves and enjoy the Gulf breeze.

Fishing: Anglers can walk right across the street to some of the peninsula's best local fishing spots.

8.0 / 10.0
The property was very nice, but the property manager was not. Several areas of the house were not clean when we arrived. We received a message from the owner that we might be unable to check in because the last guest left late and the cleaning team had some problems. We didnt mind that it wasn't pristine. Once we left, we were bombarded with messages about the property's cleanliness. The manager sent us pictures of the dirty areas that were not clean when we arrived. We were starting to reply to the manager to let them know that these areas were not clean, but their texts were getting ugly, so we didn't reply. We also rent out property, so we know it can be challenging to manage, but this was unprofessional.

We had a great time with family and friend. Easily accommodate for my group of 20. Beach 200 feet away and Ms. Stevi was amazing. I really appreciate her. Thank you, we will be back for sure

Great vacation place. It was clean and very welcoming. Everyone had a great time. There were 14 of us and it was very comfortable. I would definitely book again. Only 1 drawback. The bbq is small. We bought one big enough to cook for all of us.
