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 land and because Bolivar Peninsula is known 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

Once again...thank you for selecting my house as your getaway. I also want to thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you mentioning how clean the house was. The housekeeper's work hard to insure guests arrive to an immaculate house. In addition , I want to thank you for leaving my house in such great shape. I am truly appreciate guests such as you. I hope you return, you are always welcome.
Always a pleasure! Lost count over the past 9 years but have stayed at this property at least 10 times -- both short weekend getaways and most recently Mon-Fri. House is always CLEAN with comfortable beds, great a/c, ceiling fans, kitchen with everything needed, washer/dryer and Roku TVs with all the streaming apps. But the best part is the deck with unobstructed beach view and private access to the beach via an adorable bridge that is a must for photos! (Golf carts cross with ease!) If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, enjoy a slice of serenity and perch on a deck with a beach breeze or barbecue & entertain below this is for you! This trip was only 2 people, but we've had as many as 6 adults and 3 children. Owner Margene is tried & true - never had a single issue and always appreciate how she seeks feedback and looks for ways to raise her already high bar. We've returned many times for a reason, and it's been a favorite getaway for years!

I want to thank you for all your kind words and the great review. After all these years it was pleasure to finally meet you and your husband and I'm happy you have enjoyed all your stays. I appreciate you mentioning the bridge. It is like a miniature nature walk to get to the beach. I also want to thank you for the wonderful condition in which you left my house. I must say, this is the first time I have received rave reviews from the housekeepers for one of my guests! I look forward to seeing you again when you return. As always , you and your family and friends are welcomed and I thank you for your loyalty.
Margene is a fabulous host. We have stayed here twice and love this property! The house sits right on the beach which is fantastic! We will be booking another trip in February.
What an Awesome Experience we had when we stayed! Not only was the owner very responsive if we had any questions but the location and ambiance was wonderful! There’s a personal golf cart trail right to the beach which was so convenient. We will definitely stay here anytime we come back to Crystal Beach.

Thank you for your very kind words. It was a pleasure having you as a guest. I always found the golf cart path very special. It's like a short walk through nature. I also wanted to kindly thank you for the wonderful condition you left my house. Home owners always appreciate a considerate guest. You and your family are always welcome. I hope to hear from you soon.
Communication was fluid and got an unexpected third night at a really, very good price. Our house has been nothing but gracious and we will not hesitate to come stay here again and plus we clean better than the housekeepers.

I want to thank these guests for the five star review. I really enjoyed hosting them. Conversations with them were easy and fun. They have a great sincere humor. The best part is they left the house in immaculate condition. I just want to clarify one comment. I am a very hands on owner.
Since I live so close I personally check the houses before the guest arrived. I was there an hour before these guests check in to ensure the house was in good condition. Anyone reading this can rest assured that if there was any issue it would have been dealt with before arrival. I look forward to their return! They are ALWAYS welcome!!
The host was amazing! The home is absolutely amazing as well! It has breathtaking views, easy beach access, and terrific amenities! We couldn’t be more thrilled with our stay, and cannot wait to get back!!!

I want to thank you for such a nice review. I'm glad you appreciate Pelican Bluff. It is a special place. Not just the view but also all the wild flowers that grow around it and down the golf cart path. It makes for a wonderous walk to the beach. And then there are the various types of birds that fly in and out of the ponds to drink water or catch dinner.
You won't find many houses that offer such a great display of wild life. I appreciate you taking the time to point out the wonderful features of the house and surroundings. I look forward to hearing from you again. You and your family are always welcome!
Perfect getaway this is a great place to stay with the big party or small party. You have easy acces
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
I'm glad you enjoyed the property. I must admit it does have great views. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "older property " because the house is only nine years old. It has all modern appliances and is up to all current codes.
We thoroughly enjoyed the deck and close walk to the beach. We were thankful that we were warned in advance about the mosquitos under the cabin and to spray with Cutter backyard spray. They definitely showed up when the wind died down but the spray took care of it. We had all the kitchen cooking supplies we needed. We grilled hamburgers and cooked several meals at the cabin. It was a great stay for our family.
The cabin is clean and well stocked with all of the essential items. Check in is easy and I will definitely be booking again soon.

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.
