I was born and raised in the Golden Triangle area of Texas, which is about an 30 min. away from Bolivar Beach. As a young child, my mom, dad and sister would take trips to stay in a cousin's cabin. As a teen, MANY a day was spent grabbing friends and heading to the beach! We would even bravely swim out to the 3rd sandbar!
I graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur and went on to Aggieland in College Station, Texas. I met a handsome young man in that sea of maroon in April of '80. We began dating right away and both worked on our degrees. Mine in teaching and his in Finance. One of the criteria for marriage was that the one I love also love the beach! He passed and we've been married for almost 37 years and have been blessed with 3 children. We have loved jumping in the car for a trip down to Galveston many times while raising our children. The sun and sand have always been my therapy! I love sitting on the shore, digging in the sand and listening to the waves as they calmly move in on the shore. We can both do this for hours.
When an opportunity to purchase a condo at the Maryville came open, I jumped on it due to the facility providing the best of both worlds. There is the comfort of staying in a nice condo with a gorgeous view of every sunset, being close enough to the beach that it's super easy to pack and drive 1 mile to easy beach access, AND staying back on the property to enjoy the hot tub, or one of 3 lovely pools, one being heated.
I hope you will take an opportunity to enjoy a stay at My Happy Place, as well, as I'd love to share it with you!
