This is our second time booking this beach house. It's a fantastic house that is literally steps away from the beach. More than enough space for a big family. We're a family of 6 and had plenty of room. Super easy check-in, check-out, house is spotless, and while we're just guests it always feels like home. If you're looking for a great house in Port Bolivar this is the one!

I appreciate you mentioning the cleanliness of the house and the proximity to the beach. The view is breathtaking! I always appreciate repeat guests! And I hope every guest has the same experience you have.... that the house feels like home. I also want to express my gratitude for leaving in a house in such fantastic condition. Homeowners do love guests such as you. I do want to clarify one thing... The house is on the Bolivar Peninsula not in Port Bolivar. Port Bolivar is on the other end of the peninsula. I hope to hear from you again... You are always welcome!!

Great property in prime location to beach! As mentioned in the instructions, there is some movement that can be felt, especially when the winds kick up. The only thing I can think of to improve this house would be an elevator to get groceries and bags up and down:). We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Margene Walz

Host profile image
Hi, Welcome to my home – My name is Margene Walz. I am the owner and am thrilled to show you around. Many years ago I moved to California from Nebraska but have always missed the mid-western values and hospitality. Through the advice of my brother Mike Walz of Crystal Beach's Walz Family Builders I seized the opportunity to sell my California condominium and built on Bolivar. I appreciate the area and the hospitality. It is like coming back to my roots. I am very pleased to be able to share my home with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

Since my brother owns a home and a business in Crystal Beach I have visited many times. Each time I fell more and more in love with the area. I decided to invest my retirement money here and I can't wait to share this peaceful stress-free beach with you.

What makes this property unique

The front deck is 16' deep - 8' is covered and 8' is uncovered. Guests are able to enjoy the shade, read, sip a glass of wine or beer or tan in the sunshine. The deck which wraps around 3 sides of the house has private doors from the Master bedroom and Guest bedroom. Each has its own romantic personal space. But the most impressive thing about this home is the spectacular beach front view. The family area under the house includes an enclosed shower, bar and 2 built-in picnic tables. It is a wonderful area that will accommodate many family members and guests. Plus it offers you all the comforts of home with the additional bonus of hearing and watching the surf.
