Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The location was great—calm, clean, and very convenient. We loved being close to the channel/bay watching the boats on the patio! Also was near golf rental if you need! The property itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to others.

About the host

Hosted by Shelly Keathley

Host profile image
We are John and Shelly, owners of Jelly Bay - we absolutely love our home and are thrilled to share it! We've thoughtfully decorated and appointed it to include everything we'd want for ourselves, and we love spending time at Jelly Bay. We hope you feel the same and can't wait to host you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the deck - one look and we were sold! We spend hours hanging out and watching the birds and barges. We also love running to the beach and then enjoying the comforts of a new home. The Bolivar Peninsula life is great too. We enjoy the slower pace of life here and when it's time to leave (which is difficult!) we always feel relaxed!

What makes this property unique

Our goal was to ensure Jelly Bay was a home away from home and had everything we'd want for ourselves when we are here- from comfy beds and luggage racks to kitchen spices and beach items, and everything in between.

Additionally, lots of homes this size in this do not have the capacity/sleeping room for 6 adults. We intentionally set the home up to enjoy it with our friends and family- and hope you do the same!
