Located in a quiet and serene area of the peninsula this beach house has a spectacular gulf view from the living room, master bedroom and guest bedroom! Sleeping quarters include master bedroom with king size bed, guest room with queen bed and a bunk room with 1 full and 1 twin bed. For your convenience all beds are pre-made with linens provided for free! Beds for 7 people plus one ottoman cot that converts to a twin bed for the 8th person. The master bedroom has a TV and built in DVD player. The house is also a split floor plan with bedrooms on each side of the house. The living room sports a big screen TV and streaming WIFI.. But the best part is the beachfront view! Watch the sun rise or sun set, see the ships travel on the Gulf and dolphins frolic in the water. A quick walk puts you on a secluded area of the beach with very little traffic. A six foot wide golf cart path makes getting to the beach quick and easy. The grill, built in picnic tables and outdoor shower downstairs make entertaining easy and enjoyable in any kind of weather. Plenty of parking for guests, boats and trailers. Large lawn for horseshoes and volleyball. Into birdwatching?? Because there is so much vacant land and because Bolivar Peninsula is know for its bird migration, guests can sit on the deck and see many different kinds of birds including the Roseate Spoonbill. Need another house for family reunions? Check out my first beachfront property Pelican Bay. It is located approx 1/4 mile from Pelican Bluff, also beachfront and can be viewed at property #562649

Perfect getaway this is a great place to stay with a bior small party. You have easy walking beach or golf cart access you’re close to the public beach access to for cars
This house was on Bolivar Pennisula on a quieter end which was perfect for our visit. Great beach access and view. The house was clean and well laid out with split bedrooms. Small grocery store nearby and a couple of great restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!
I have stayed at both of Margene’s properties and highly recommend both. They are clean, well equipped and comfortable.Margene goes over and above what you would expect in terms of communication both before your arrival and info provided about community resources. Pelican Bluff is in a very quiet area. You can’t go wrong!! We plan to return!!
The house and property were awesome! Beautiful view of the beach with easy access. The house is just as described and the owner is very friendly and responsive. We will definitely be going back!
This property is fantastic! It is a cute lil’ 2/2, but that isn’t the draw… the draw is the direct, private beach access and the perfectly equipped deck. We sat on the deck for two days listening to the rhythmic sounds of the waves. We took the private path with an adorable bridge to the beach for walks.
We loved this house! We really loved the location and the fact that there were not neighbors right on top of us. And that isn’t because we stayed in the middle of December. The houses in this area of location are spaced far enough apart that you don’t feel smothered. We will most definitely be a repeat customer.
It was just a very nice peace and beautiful experience. We had the beach all to our selves and it was such a warm and lovely home. Thank you to our wonderful host for opening up her home for us to have such a great 2 year anniversary experience. Also so thankful we could bring our dog Faith with us!
We had a lovely stay at this property. The location is perfect if you want a nice relaxing calm environment. The house was very clean and the host was great at communicating a TV issue before we arrived. The views from the deck alone are worth booking this space. Make sure you bring some mosquito repellent especially if it rains! Short walk to the beach and we basically had the entire beach to ourselves the entire time we were there! Our little dog and my parents loved it!
Overall the home and location is wonderful. Beach front, great views from the deck. Nice house, in and out. Good communication with the owner. I would stay here again.
The view was incredible! I loved having coffee each morning and listening to the waves, very peaceful. My husband and i used this trip to celebrate our 40th birthdays. The host had a boutique of flowers and card wishing us a happy birthday on arrival. Overall great stay! Taking the ferry to Galveston was free and a fun adventure. We skydived at Skydive Galveston, excellent experience!
This home is absolutely amazing! My husband and I enjoyed our stay and had plenty of room to host some family members for a day at the beach along with dinner! We will definitely return!
The house was great. We love that it was a bit remote and quiet and yet close to anything we might need. Absolutely loved our days at the ocean and seeing the dolphins. Great time would definitely stay there again
Very relaxing vacation home. Not far from the beach, definitely walking distance. Great view in the morning of the beach! Plenty of space for 3 teenagers, a child and adults.
I have stayed here twice and the location is perfect. Right on the beach. House is nice and comfortable. The hostess Margene is very kind and quick to communicate. Will plan another trip!!
The entire family has the best time. We will definitely book again. Loved the entire trip.

About the host
Hosted by Margene Walz
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. (By the way...the picture is of my great nephew, Alex. He photographs cuter than 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 started with Pelican Bay. It has been such a pleasant experience with wonderful, wonderful guests! So when an opportunity arose I jumped at the chance to purchase a second home. I can't wait to share this peaceful stress-free beach with you.
What makes this property unique
The most spectacular thing about Pelican Bluff is the spectacular beach front view. 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 family area under the house includes a shower, a two built-in picnic tables and charcoal grill. It is a wonderful area that will accommodate many family members and guests. It offers you all the comforts of home with the additional bonus of hearing and watching the surf.
