We had a wonderful stay at Lazy Gator! The house was fantastic, clean, comfortable, and incredibly easy to access the beach. Being right on the beach was definitely the highlight of our trip, and we loved being able to walk right out and enjoy the beach whenever we wanted. The house itself was a great place to relax and enjoy our time in Bolivar.One area that could be improved would be having some basic household and bathroom essentials stocked for guests, such as hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, hand towels, and a few basic cleaning supplies like a mop and something to wipe down the counters. Having those items available would make an already great stay even more convenient.Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Lazy Gator and would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you, Amanda & Josh, for sharing your home with us!

Very nice beach view. House was clean and as advertised. We loved that it was right on the beach. We went to two birding spots: one near the ferry crossing and the other was Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary. We saw 47 species of birds on our coastal visit.

Peaceful Retreat

Our family of four enjoyed The Lazy Gator. The owners pay attention to detail with this property and our trip was everything we hoped it to be. Great location, quiet stretch of beach, and comfortable home with everything you need. They even have a sweet little ornament and branded coffee mugs to keep as souvenirs. Make sure to bring plenty of mosquito spray with you though! Thank you for a wonderful vacation - we will return!

Wonderful location

We came to crystal beach for its proximity to the boy scout park/bird migration. It was perfect for us, about 10 minutes to the park one way and the other direction was all of the restaurants/bars and stores. We had a wonderful time. The home was new, well decorated, clean and the view on the back deck is fabulous. Lazy Gator had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be back and will choose the same home if available.

Family Beach Time

Property well maintained. Kitchen well stocked with just about everything you would think of needing to cook for a large group. Bed in master extremely comfortable. Loved that the beach was just a few steps away and since it is further up from Crystal Beach not crowded. If you are a shell seeker this beach is great for collecting. Enjoyed 6 days here and only left the place once to explore Fort Travis. Great choice for family time.

Lazy Gator review

This beach house was everything we could have asked for & more! It was clean, had everything we needed for the stay and plenty of room for my two wild boys to do their own thing. The outdoor deck was our favorite part! Just being able to sit outside and drink a cup (or 3 😜) of coffee in the mornings & watch the sunrise was absolutely amazing. Also, settling down in the afternoons, listening & watching the waves come in, there’s just nothing better! We will without a doubt be booking this beach house in the future for our annual summer vacations ☀️🌊🏖️🦀

Great Relaxing Stay

We had a great experience booking with this family. They thought of everything we might need on our stay. There are sand buckets, boogie boards, beach towels, and chairs. Everything you might need for your beach trip. All the furniture was super comfortable and the place was spotless clean. We love that they allowed a pet for a small fee. Going to the beach is so much more enjoyable when your able to enjoy it with your furry friend. My kids absolutely loved the bunk room. They even thought to provide board games and little cubbies on the top bunks for electronics such as tablets. If you book with this family you will not be disappointed!
