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.
Beachside Games: Enjoy cornhole, life-size Connect 4, and other outdoor games provided for your group.
Bedroom & Bathroom Layout
The home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate large groups across three levels:
Ground Level: Lounge area, private hot tub, outdoor shower, and grilling station.
Main Floor: Open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas; 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.
Top Floor: 2 bedrooms including a game loft and 1 full bathroom.
Bed Details: Includes 2 Kings, 2 Queens, 4 Full/Twin bunks, and 1 Twin.
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.

This place was perfect for our entire family. Great access to the beach and great view from the deck. Very clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of room. The entire property was very well planned especially for family’s with very young kids. The locking gate at the top of the stairs outside was a great idea. The owner and manager were so nice. Loved this property.

This is our second year booking at this property we enjoy everything that they offer as well as the location to the beach. The host is easy to communicate with and we would definitely book again.

We recently stayed at this beach house and overall had a good experience. The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the beach, which made our stay very convenient and enjoyable. The owner was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, and the property manager was very helpful and responsive whenever we had questions.The only downside was the cleanliness of the home upon arrival. There was quite a bit of blonde hair throughout the house, and some areas appeared to have been overlooked during cleaning, like the refrigerator needs an inner wipe down, including the shower grout and underneath the beds. A more thorough sweeping, mopping, and deep cleaning would make a big difference.The hot tub was good but the tv trying to turn on did not work and electric shocked the heck out of my brother in law. And the remote for upstairs was nonexistent.But, all in all despite the cleaning issues, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the excellent communication, time accommodation for my elder grandparents, and the great beach access. So overall I would say mission accomplished. Thanks

A great stay for multi-generations, especially if some are of the age to use the bunk rooms! So convenient to the beach!
