LATE APRIL BIRDER DISCOUNT: For the last week of April, get 20% off with code 7BY6UYE5 at checkout! NOTE for February through April / May: The canals are being dredged. This is much needed maintenance for the neighborhood but does present an inconvenience. The fishing areas are closed for the duration of the construction work. I also don't know when they will be working right behind us in a way that will maybe make it less than an ideal week. If I learn anything else I will update this. The Mabry boat ramp will be accessible the full time. Waterfront RV Port on Bolivar Peninsula. Has water, sewer, and electric with a new 20-30-50 amp panel. Covered RV spot with a screen porch. Property is fenced and dogs are welcome. The screened porch needs a bit more work but we ate there in the evenings without being swarmed by mosquitoes which is the way evenings at the coast do be. There is a dining table with chairs in the porch, and some patio chairs to use on the property. They are really great to sit on the dock! Also have a charcoal grill and a crab trap for you to use. (You need a fishing license and bait. Chicken bones works great!) Plenty of birding and fishing on the peninsula. Community fishing area is on the end of both Van Sant and Mabry, Mabry has a boat ramp. Beach Access via community gate at end of street. Combination for those will be shared in arrival instructions. Spot is a residential lot... It is 60 x 130. I know it says 1 acre but that is the smallest hipcamp will show. Two sides have other RV spots. One is a rental, the other is used by some pretty cool and quiet folks. The back side fronts on the water. You will probably see more seagulls and purple martins than people. We have weekly discounts. Message me and I can go over them because the Hipcamp platform makes them difficult. It works out to approximately 7 nights for the price of 5. Be prepared: Bolivar has mosquitoes. This is the coast. If it has rained they can be really bad. The county sprays on a regular rotation but it can be bad. They tend to swarm when you pull in. Spray helps. We also send recommendations for what sprays work best for us in the arrival instructions. We do not offer refunds for mosquitoes. We have never found them unmanageable, and the screen porch keeps them almost entirely away. We are east of Rollover Pass. Easiest to arrive through Winnie and south on 124. Unless you are coming from Galveston or southeast Houston it is probably shorter. The ferry is fun (dolphins and such) but the waits can be long. Also: Do not bring loose propane tanks or gasoline cans on the ferry, they will send you away. (Propane on RV is fine, but that is all they allow) https://www.txdot.gov/discover/ferry-boat-schedules/ferry-rules.html Regarding COVID and other health issues, you have exclusive use of the property so there should be no problems. We can't always come between to do any cleaning but there are no indoor spaces anyway.Waterfront RV port on a canal in sight of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. You will see tugboats and barges passing by. Crabbing and fishing from the dock. Beach is at the end of the street, approximately 1 mile. The RV cover fits a 34 foot trailer that is 11 feet tall. Probably at least a foot taller but don't have precise measurements. You may stick out the front because of the decking but that is not an issue. Contact with any questions regarding size. There is a screened porch that seems to keep the mosquitoes out enough to enjoy dinner in the evening. The lot is fully fenced and pets are welcome. 50 and 30 amp RV electric and 20 amp plugs are there. City water and sewer. There is no toilet or shower on site. 10 miles from The Big Store and Crystal Beach restaurants shopping, etc. 8 miles from the High Island Audobon Birding Sanctuaries. Cancelation: Full refund up to 1 week out. After that point there is a cancelation fee of one night rent to cover prep costs.

Great proximity to High Island birding sites for spring migration. Screened in nook was welcome relief from mosquitos. So appreciated fenced yard for our dog. Quiet street, no traffic or noise.

Nice spot!

Enjoyed our stay at Edge of the Waters. The dogs loved running around in the fenced-in area. Also took in the early migration at the Rookery at High Island.

Good times

Have our fur babies be able run and enjoy the trip. As well as blue crabs each day was added bonus to every meal. Would recommend again and again

Edge Of The Waters

We enjoyed staying on Tim's property (Edge Of The Waters) very much. It was on a quiet street with very little traffic. Short drive to town to get groceries or eat at a restaurant. The beach is very close, one mile drive to the highway and the beach access is almost straight across. Tim was very quick to respond to messages and he even checked on us a couple of time to make sure everything was good. I would very much stay here again and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks Tim
