Special place, we created many wonderful memories here. Such an amazinf view off the deck, direct access to beach. Host was very responsive to a minor issue. Gives me a lot of trust any problem would be taken care of quickly and correctly. House was clean, a little skimpy on soap and other supplies, but nothing thats a serious issue. Kitchen was stocked very serviceably.Absolutely would stay again in a heartbeat.

We have been staying in this beach house for a couple of years for our anniversary. This year was no exception-it’s cozy, it has great views, it is secluded this week of the year….we have always had a great stay here and this year was no different. Already planning our trip to come back next year

It is always a pleasure hearing from this guest. They are great and leave the house in immaculate condition. It touches my heart they have returned several times to celebrate their anniversary. We have such short lives and memories are the most important part. I am blessed they choose to make their memories at my house. Sorry about your pup. I have one of my own. It must be hard. Thank you again for staying at my house. I look forward to speaking to you again next year.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Margene Walz

Host profile image
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, moved back to Nebraska 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.

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 I can't wait to share this peaceful stress-free beach with you.

What makes this property unique

You can't get any closer to the beach
