Lovely home!

This house is in a great location right on the beach with close proximity to the grocery store and close enough to the ferry that we traveled to Galveston nearly every day. House was well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Winter get away.

Enjoyed the beautiful ocean view. Watched the dolphins jumping behind the fishing boats. Be sure to bring binoculars. Collected a boat load of different sea shells. Just overall enjoyed the beach house overlooking the Gulf of America.

Relaxing escape from the city

We enjoyed our stay very much! We wanted to escape from the city and the remote feeling of this house was perfect. The only downside was the wind made the built in blinds in the primary bedroom knock against the glass all night long. It made it virtually impossible to sleep well in that room. We enjoyed being able to watch our kids from the deck while they played on the beach. It was so easy for them to walk down by themselves (ages 5 & 6).

Clean, quiet, off the beaten path

Our host was super helpful and welcoming. House is right on the beach, so sitting on the deck or opening the living room door and listening to the waves is delightful. There is one house next door, but otherwise the house isolated from others. We loved visiting the nearby Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary and seeing LOTS of egrets, spoonbills, and alligators. We also loved driving to the free ferry and visiting Galveston. We chose to kayak Galveston Island State Park. All told, a wonderful experience and a great location for what we were looking for.

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, moved back to Nebraska 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

You can't get any closer to the beach
