About this house rental

Relax on the quiet end of the Bolivar Peninsula at A Cool Change, a 1300 square foot beach house located in the Gilchrist area. Enjoy a completely unobstructed view from the porch or mezzanine level or take a 2-minute walk to the beach. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is perfect for a small gathering or two families.

In the open-concept living/kitchen/dining area, you will find lovely coastal decor and comfortable seating. Enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, including a coffee pot suitable for K-cups or regular drip. There is seating at the kitchen island and separate dining table - great for meals and game nights!

Each bedroom features a king bed, and there is an air mattress available to provide sleeping room for 8. The primary bedroom is equipped with an ensuite bath, as well. For your convenience, high speed internet is provided, and all bedrooms have USB outlets.

A Cool Change features two different levels of deck with beautiful beach views. On the mezzanine level you will find porch swings, games and a picnic table that seats 10. There are deck chairs on the mezzanine as well as the top floor and there are gates that enclose the mezzanine and porch. Downstairs you'll find ample parking, a hot and cold water outdoor shower, foot washing station and a fish cleaning sink. You will also find a gas grill (propane may need to be filled).

We sometimes experience power outages at the beach, but at A Cool Change you will not have to worry. This home is set up with a generator that can supply the whole home with power.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place to stay that was close to the beach which was just across the highway. It was a little ways out of town, but we liked that because it was not a busy area. The only difficulty we had was locking the door. Even when lifting the door handle, it was very hard to turn the lock.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved A Cool Change! The furnishings and decor were just as listed. We didn't have good beach weather while we were here, but this beach had the most shells I have ever seen. There was streaming TV, as well as games and puzzles so we kept ourselves entertained. What I really enjoyed was the laidback, not busy atmosphere on the Peninsula. Quite a contrast from the Galveston island atmosphere. We ate one night at the Fins restaurant at the Margaritaville RV resort - highly recommend! Overall, we enjoyed our relaxing stay, and are already planning next year's trip.
