The House is centrally located to many famous Texas birding hotspots. The Bolivar Peninsula is right at the center of the action. The entire peninsula is part of the Great Coastal Birding Trail, which plays a vital role as a habitat for migrating birds. There are bird sanctuaries all over the area as well as a nearby national wildlife refuge. Bolivar Peninsula is host to numerous bird sanctuaries along with the nearby national Anahuac Wildlife Refuge. So grab your camera and get ready for a great coastal excursion that will have you spotting spoonbills, kayaking amidst great blue herons and observing alligators, all just minutes from your Bolivar beach chair

Fishing off Bolivar Peninsula is like no other. Take a short stroll down our private access to the beach and you will be right on top of one of the best fishing spots on the Bolivar Peninsula
Fishing in the surf is a relaxing, rewarding experience. Take your rod and reel, some bait (live or dead), or a mirror lure, wade out to the waist-deep water on the second sand bar, and toss your line out and see what happens. Surf fishing is a great way to spend a day in the sun, catching some rays and some fish.

House is also located close to Rollover Pass in Gilchrist, Texas, is a great fishing spot near East Galveston Bay, the intra-coastal, and Rollover Bay. There, you can reel in some spectacular redfish, flounder, croaker, drum, and more for the ultimate feast during your vacation.

Great Stay!
This was our second year staying at this property. The views are amazing and the house is clean and well maintained. We highly recommend this property. David, our host, was on top of communication with us. This year brought a lot of questions due to Francine making its way through the Gulf. We appreciate all of the help and advice he provided. We can not wait to book our next trip.

Excellent Host
There always seems to be little things you wish your rental had that others have or you at one point had. These can be deciding factors when booking a rental. I can say without a doubt the communication with the host in the emergency situation was by far the most excellent service we have ever received. Despite the conditions the hurricane caused, the quick response, prompt communication and willingness to not only cancel with full refund days before arrival but accommodate Us in anyway he could is more than enough to make us want to stay Again. The house was beautiful and perfect our family. Another plus is it was stocked with quite a bit of things we had packed with the intentions of it not being available. 10/10 recommended booking this house and with this host.

Very close to the beach
The house location was perfect, right on the beach with only a few steps to the beach. The house was clean and well stocked with supplies. I wish the beach house had beach chairs for you though. The covered porch was great for sitting out and drinking our morning coffee. The only problem we had was with mosquitos. They were terrible!! There were times we had to run from the car to the house or from the house to the beach because we were attacked by mosquitos. Even with bug spray, we still had lots of mosquito bites. The outside shower was a big plus. It helped a lot with not tracking sand in the house. We wished there was a gate on the porch though. We had our dogs and a two year old, so it would of added peace of mind if there was a gate so you don’t have to worry about the stairs. Overall a wonderful stay and a beautiful house!

Family Get-Away
The house was better than the pictures showed. I rented the house for the family to come together, relax and have fun. My number one requirement was access to the beach and this had it. The beach was a few steps away thru the back yard. From the moment we walked into the house there was a homey feeling. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The beds were COMFORTABLE, which is always a plus. I enjoyed sitting on the porch. During our stay I had a few questions come up and the manager responded immediately. This house was overall better than any other rental I have stayed at in the past. I HIGHLY recommend it.

We are a group of ladies that have been vacationing on the beach since we were 50 years old. We're currently 70/71. Some of us even started first grade together. We love just hanging out on the porch or the beach. Shore Beats Work has a great porch and beautiful view of the beach! We love the house of course but the porch can't be beat!

Beautiful home, great location, definately recommend !
With one exception we had a great stay at a great house. The house has that perfect front row location & view. There are 8 comfortable deck chairs & a table so you can be outside all day if you want. The house is beautiful, spacious, open, & super clean. Everything you might need was there. We let our elderly relatives have the master bedroom due to the walk in shower & we took a guest room. Access to the guest bathroom was just across the hall & guest bath was really spacious with plenty of counter space. My only complaint, or disappointment, was the lack of beach access. Our 85 yr old cousin was with us & I specifically chose this house due to the listing pictures showing direct beach access right next to the house. Upon arrival I saw that the road has now been fenced off & Galv. Co is building a dune. The owner told me that he closed the access due to trespassers using the property to park & blocking his driveway, etc. I booked this house on this trip specifically due to the open access shown in the pictures, AND I booked a golf cart rental so that we could take our cousin out on the beach on a golf cart. He has severe mobility issues & can not walk well. There is a narrow, deep sand walking pass thru next door but it was not something that E could navigate & I felt guilty that he was unable to enjoy the beach. The rest of us were able to walk the beach every day but I feel that the pics should be updated or a note made that there is no longer SXS or golf cart access

As the title implies we were there for photography with birds being our primary targets. The house served excellently for that purpose. It is centrally located to many famous Texas birding hotspots and we were well served by it. The accommodations were excellent and the beautiful Gulf Coast beach is directly in front of the house. We could take pictures of coastal birds from the balcony without leaving the premises. The house seems relatively new and all the amenities worked perfectly. We had no complaints and recommend it without reservations.

Amazing View
Very cute place with an amazing view!! My friends and I spent most of our time sitting on the deck, either in the nice, big chairs provided by the owner or around the table, playing cards or having our meals! The weather couldn’t have been better when we went—constant, cool breeze off the ocean! I will say, that unlike most VBRO places my friends and I have stayed, this place was less equipped with complimentary items like k-cups for the Kurig or shampoo, conditioner and bath soaps. We also found odd that a place right on the beach requested that guests bring their own beach towel. That wasn’t an issue for us particularly, as we never got into the water more than dipping our feet and we primarily stayed on the deck admiring the view of the ocean as opposed to sitting on the beach with a towel. Nice grocery store close to the house and there was an excellent place to eat, Stingaree’s nearby. Overall, the place was great and we would definitely consider staying at this place again if we return to Crystal Beach for the view alone.

This was a great place to getaway for a few days. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Galveston area and I’m very impressed at the cleanliness of the beaches. This house was perfect and the deck was amazing for relaxing and listening to the waves. We will definitely return.

Home away from Home
It was truly the best. The property was in absolutely the best shape of any house I've rented through VRBO. Even the nice ones always have some little something or somethings that you excuse and just manage but not this one. Perfect set up from both coffee pot and Keurig in kitchen to the power strips on each side of the bed in bedroom. Everything you could need was there and everything was so tasteful. My kids got there early and were allowed to check in early - realize that can't always happen. I was concerned about restaurants and how much we might have to ferry into Galveston but that was not the case. My husband and I have decided that we prefer this area to others where we have stayed. Thank you so much for sharing your home. Was our home away from home this week and we will be back...Jeff and Julie
