Beachfront Bolivar bungalow - bring the kids, the dogs, and fishing rods!

Our Rock Lobster beach house is the perfect beach front family or fishing getaway on the Texas gulf coast. Enjoy the slower rhythms of Bolivar Peninsula while still being close to Crystal Beach. You are able to access all that Galveston has to offer with a quick trip on the ferry. Sunrise and sunset are tough to beat from the front porch with a coffee or a cocktail staring out at the unobstructed views of the ocean. Go explore the island too - rent some golf carts for beach rides, play putt putt golf, or hit up a water park. The fishing is great here too, whether you want to fish off the beach or charter a guide in the bay. We are also home to fantastic live music on the island - from a laid-back acoustic show to a full blown band rocking the house! Why go anywhere else? Come see us, relax, and stay a while!

Book this place!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! It was perfect in every way — super dog-friendly, just a short walk to the beach, and thoughtfully stocked with beach toys, chairs, and everything you’d need for a fun day in the sun. The home was clean, bright, and full of natural light. One of our favorite highlights was watching the fireworks — it felt like we had front-row seats! It truly made our trip memorable. We’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Such a peaceful location. Very little activity on our part of the beach and lots of shells and sea glass to examine. The house was pristine and the owners were great to work with.

Beachfront bliss

Host were great throughout the process. They communicated well when we had questions, and they let us know in advance when housekeeping would be done so that we could begin our stay. The property itself was clean and in good repair. It's located directly on the beach. It was easy for us to go back and forth as needed. Wonderful experience all around!

A Gem!

WOW! What an amazing place and space! A beautiful secluded beach, marvelous home, and relaxing retreat. We loved being so close to our destination of High Island for the spring bird migration. The steps from the deck down to the backyard and beach were perfect! Can’t wait to come back and bring family and friends. A true gem!

Absolutely beautiful home and beach stay! Love it

My husband and I stayed 4 nights in the wonderful oceanfront home. It is wonderfully decorated in seaside tones that makes you feel truly immersed with the beach. The home was furnished with everything you need. There are plenty of chairs to sit on the porches, in the lower level and right beside the beach with a fire pit. We did not use the grill or shower outside but those we brand new also. What made it extremely special was that there was very little people on the beach because you are so far away from the small community homes. So when I would sit on the porch and look out to the gulf there was rarely anyone in my view. I felt it was just us and the ocean. Loved it. It was a slice of Heaven! Just what we wanted to relax and get away. Also, very important was Matt the owner responded super quick to any questions we may have needed which is very reassuring when renting a home. Will most surely come back and will recommend to friends. Also, the beach is great for shells and very clean compared to other places on the beach.

Book this beach bungalow! ☀️🌊

Stayed here for three nights with my husband, our two young children, my mom & aunt, plus our two dogs & the house was the perfect size for our group. The house itself is cozy & clean, with beautiful ocean views from the main living area/kitchen. The location is perfect: beachfront in a quiet, uncrowded area of the peninsula. The owners are helpful with providing any info needed. We will be back!
