Unmatched Ocean Views • Clean & Comfortable • Pet-Friendly

Welcome to Shore Beats Work, your private slice of paradise on the Bolivar Peninsula — a pristine beachfront home with unobstructed ocean views from every room and direct access to the sand just steps from your door.

Located in one of the quietest areas of the peninsula, this clean, spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach house is ideal for families, couples, birders, or remote workers seeking a relaxing Gulf Coast escape.

Wake Up to Ocean Views
Every room in the house offers stunning sunrise and beach views, including the open-concept living room and kitchen. Lounge on the wraparound sofa, stream a movie with blazing-fast Starlink Wi-Fi, or gather for board games while the sound of the waves rolls in through the windows.

Cook, Dine, and Unwind in Style
The fully stocked kitchen features stainless steel appliances, an oversized island, and plenty of counter space — perfect for prepping fresh-caught fish or family-style meals. Enjoy your meals at the large dining table, at the island’s barstools, or outside on the covered beachfront deck for true dine-with-a-view moments.

Wonderful Time

We had a great time being right on the beach. House was clean and spacious so we weren’t cramped in. Took the ferry to Galveston and a little shopping. Everyone enjoyed the ferry ride. David was on top of things when we had an issue in the kitchen. Really enjoyed staying at Shore Beats Work.

Shore Beats Work did not disappoint. Fantastic location right on the beach and a very nice house. Only issue was the mosquitos, but there was even a warning to come prepared with bug spray in the check in instructions! My family had a fantastic time this was just the break we needed. Thank you David!

All in 4 nights and 1/2 day stay!

Great vacation and loved being at beachside nearest to gulf. Semi-Privateness of beach was a plus also. Kids enjoyed beach boards and shell searching. Also ferry to Galveston and attractions there as well as restaurants there in Port Bolivar/Crystal Beach. Groceries handy at the Big Store and Dollar General. Loved seeing Pelicans and Seagulls fly over on the front deck and TVs in evening at bedtime. Kids loved feeding the birds bread and donuts! Comfortable rental and would like to return some day! Also 2 of our party did a fishing tour in gulf and we went on Dolphin Boat Tour with the children in Galveston - great for all!

The property itself was clean and you had most everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. It also passed the clorox wipe test as I always wipe everything down when we check in anywhere and so that was impressive. BUT the sheets.....they smelled clean but they were stained and that is an ick for me. I had a Super 8 flashback from when I was a kid but this is not super 8 pricing so the sheets need an upgrade but otherwise good.

Just the best place to stay in Bolivar!

We have stayed in Bolivar 3 times now. This is by far our best experience and accommodations. The communication with David was immediate and helpful. Even when our daughter forgot some items in a closet, David was on it right away.We like to leave properties as we find them if not better. We picked up blown in trash from the dunes without stepping in the dunes.We created a path to the beach to help us navigate us (and the neighbors) the best route to the beach, protecting the dunes. The house is well equipped. Everything you could possibly need. Beds are comfortable. The house was spotless.Most of our stay we have the beach, moonrises and sunsets to ourselves.We will make this place our new annual place to stay. Thank you David for making our stay perfect.
