Blue Barnacle - Beach Front Escape!

Summary:
Welcome to your coastal oasis on the Bolivar Peninsula, where a breathtaking 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beachfront vacation home awaits. A sanctuary where great customer service meets stylish décor and amazing views of the Gulf Coast. This idyllic retreat, named The Blue Barnacle, is meticulously designed and managed to ensure an unforgettable seaside experience.

The Space:
As you step into the spacious living area, the panoramic windows showcase the gulf waters, inviting the beauty of the beach right into your living space. The interior boasts a perfect blend of coastal elegance and modern comfort. The open concept layout allows the sea breeze to flow seamlessly through the living and dining spaces, creating a tranquil ambiance for relaxation.

Each of the three bedrooms is a haven of comfort, adorned with tasteful decor and plush furnishings. The master suite, with its private balcony, provides a serene escape for morning coffee or stargazing at night. The additional bedrooms offer cozy retreats for family or friends, ensuring everyone enjoys their own private slice of paradise.

The two well appointed bathrooms feature modern amenities and soothing color palettes, providing a relaxing experience after a day spent playing in the sun and surf. The fully equipped kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, invites culinary adventures for those who love to cook, while the outdoor grill beckons for al fresco dining against the backdrop of the sunset over the gulf.

Our vacation home is designed for families to have a fully functional and fun getaway. Relaxing colors, beach vibes, custom finishes, and beach themed decor make this a true home away from home.

Great Location
This home has everything you need and more with the best location that my family were looking for. This area was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. This home is directly on the beach that made it easy for my husband to fish with a bait shop 1 block over and 2 access points across the street in the bay for crabbing. I could not have asked for better communication from the owners John and Jennifer. Thank you for sharing your home with my family. We will definitely see you again.

Nice beach house
Very nice beach house. We had a couple of problems that we didn’t feel like was address properly with spending that much money to stay at this house. The remote was missing to the living room tv. The owner responded that it should be in the drawer on table and I messaged that it wasn’t. The owner responded that someone would be by the next day but wasn’t. By this time the family members that were in for the weekend were leaving. The next problem was the ax unit was controlled by 6pm it was preset to 77 and we couldn’t change it. It was miserable trying to cook and go to bed at bright. The owner never responded to my message. This is unacceptable being in august in the hottest month on the summer! I was 7 months pregnant and was so miserable from being hot that we ended up leaving a day earlier. This was our third beach trip this year to crystal beach and by far are least favorite!
