Beachfront!! Spectacular View! Awesome Deck! Gourment Kitchen

Are you looking for a vacation rental that provides peace and quiet? Want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of city life? Then this is the house for you! In 2008 Hurricane Ike devastated the Caplen Shore subdivision. Pelican Bluff was the first home to return. 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 roll-away cot for the 8th person.
Two bedrooms include 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, WIFI & Pandora.. 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
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities such as a water park, or other amenities including barbecue grills and bike parking.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Fantastic stay
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!

Spectacular ocean View!
This beach house has a beautiful view of the gulf, and the beach is easily accessed with a one or two minute walk through a pretty pathway. This house had everything we needed. We enjoyed relaxing, cooking and playing games with our family. We especially enjoyed watching the gorgeous sunrises from the porch every morning. The house only has two other homes next to it. No one was in these homes the days we were there, so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves! We hope to get to go back sometime soon!

Great Escape from Beryl
This trip started with an unexpected visit from Hurricane Beryl. There was no power and previous occupants were forced out early. We decided to go anyway because it was the better option than Houston. Power came back on day 2 and we were so happy. The owner was in contact with us every day. She was super cool and did what she could to make the stay enjoyable. The location is perfect. There were only 2 houses within stone’s throw. Close to the beach and not too far from restaurants and retail. Secluded but not isolated. The view was amazing and there was plenty of space for the 5 of us. I rented a golf cart and we had a blast cruising the beach. Vehicle access to the beach was 1/2 mile down. My daughter caught a dozen fish in view of the house. The area was slightly flooded from the hurricane so the mosquitos were really bad downstairs but upstairs there was no problems with them. The golf cart rental was a good purchase and we took it everywhere. It arrived 10 minutes after I purchased it (West Canal Rentals). Minus the mosquito (the whole island has nasty mosquitoes, not just the house area) it was a great stay. I will probably return next year if it’s available. Could use a few more blinds on windows and doors to keep the heat/light out but the A/C did a good job. Needs a new lock box for the key. It was worth every cent. Thank you

Beachfront Privacy
This property is perfect for a Beach front rental that's not TOO close to the beach. Easy walk on golf cart path to beach. Great views and nice area away from Crystal Beach craziness. It appears the owner may have another property next to this about to come online which would be perfect for a 2 family rental. Lots of parking and a nice yard to play in. Would definitely rent this one again!

Lovely As Always
I have stayed at this owner's properties a few times. Just like always, the house was clean and comfortable. A minor concern (sticky door lock from the salt air) was handled immediately with quick, clear communication and a personal visit. The owner even personally reached out when a severe thunderstorm would be coming through to warn us. My only advice is to use the mosquito spray they provide and follow the owner's directions for use immediately. The house is on the beach, but the grassy dunes have mosquitoes. (And lots of happy frogs!) The mosquitoes are not so bad on the upper porch, though. I appreciated the streaming services available. Any pots or pans needed were there, as well. I also loved the showers! I want to buy a similar fixture for home use now. Crystal Beach is a comfortable, safe, and friendly little coastal town. I have never had an unpleasant visit. If you want a "busier" experience for a day during your trip, Galveston is only a short ferry ride away, but we always find plenty to do on the peninsula. I can't wait to go back!

The solitude and quiet was great!
We had difficulty finding the property as it was dark when we arrived; then we couldn't get the key out of the lockbox. The owner lived nearby and kindly came over to our aid. We admit to being disappointed in the quality of the cookware and silverware. It was impossible to light charcoal with no matches or a clicker, which we eventually purchased and left for future tenants. All the windows were sealed shut, which i found hard to deal with. One of my favorite things is falling asleep listening to the ocean. It was wonderfully private and the house itself nice.

We really relaxed at this location. However, upon arrival, the cleaning fragrances were overpowering and we had to air out the place. We would consider booking this home again if we could be assured that the fragrance issue was resolved.
