Being our 6th stay in one of Ms. Margene’s homes, we could not have had a better stay. We are always appreciative of her sharing her little slice of heaven with us. Steps to the beach, fully equipped, all the amenities you would need. Thank you again, and we will be back asap.

Family beach trip

This was our second stay at this lovely home. It accommodated our family of 6 perfectly. The home was clean and comfortable and well appointed. The beach was perfect with very little traffic. We enjoyed our time in the surf, ebiking, and spending time together.

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.

Family vacation

WONDERFUL!! Margene was so responsive and caring in accommodating us…She made sure we were all very comfortable with all the comforts of home. Also, I needed in advance, emergency information in case our 8 month pregnant DIL went into labor while we were there😳 Thankfully that didn’t happen but Margene went the extra mile to give names of hospitals and directions to each of them! Very nice beach house positioned right on the beach👍

Great Beach House, Great Owner

We enjoyed our stay at Margenes place. It was clean, perfect location, right on the beach with only one other house next to you. We had an a/c issue and Margene was very easy to talk with and had the issue fixed within a couple of hours. Do not hesitate to book this beach house. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Margene for letting us BORROW your place for a few days and being super responsive to our calls and fixing the issue we had ! Your the best !!!

Cant Wait to Return!

My family and I had the best time at "Pelican Beach". We have been to Galveston countless times, so we decided to do a different spin this year and try Bolivar, and we are SO glad we did! The house is past the hustle of crystal beach, and much more private and quiet. We had the beach to ourselves most days, which was amazing. If you are at the beach and need to run up to the house, its no biggie, the house is very close to the water. This was our dogs first trip to the beach and he LOVED IT! I think he slept for 3 straight days when we got home lol I will say the beach itself is not the best as far as nice sand goes... lots of rocks and shells... oyster shells galore. Make sure you bring a rake, and you can clear yourself a section in front of your canopy. We found lots of sea glass and cool shells. We absolutely LOVED stargazing at night. The milky way was so bright, and the balcony was the perfect place to watch the Perseid meteor shower. Took the ferry to Galveston one day for my daughters birthday and did a helicopter tour and shopped the strand. Ferry was awesome, pulled right on both ways, no wait. The house was very clean, and the beds were SO comfy. Need to supply guests with more paper towels, TP and trash bags... very odd to me that those items are either not included at all, or in very short supply. Make sure to bring some sort of household cleaner bc nothing is provided to clean up after yourself. Other than that, the house was perfect, and we cant wait to return!
Beautiful stars on our nightly drive in our truck on the beach (kayak on the roof).

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).
