Best of Both: Fishing & Beach
The epitome of what a great host represents. The house is beautiful and stocked with everything you could think of. Cleanliness 10/10 and right off the canal for fishing or kayaking. The beach is less than 5 minutes from the house so you get the best of both; Fishing and beach. We used the BBQ Pit for burgers and hotdogs and it worked wonderfully. The kids absolutely loved it. We most definitely will be back. Thank you for the great hospitality!

Super relaxing stay in comfortabele, bright and clean Southwest Pelican.
Our 2nd stay at The Southwest Pelican and again we have loved our stay. It’s super clean, bright and fresh and super well stocked. We stayed with our 2 kids (8 and 9) and they love the fishing on the lower deck. Will definitively book again for our next stay.
Absolutely precious home! We enjoyed our quick New Years stay at this home. Probably the most well stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. They didn’t miss a single detail on things you may need during your stay. We loved that there was a full room/bath down stairs for a little more privacy. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, sitting on the large upstairs outdoor patio and being able to bring our own boat. Hoping to return to this rental soon.
We loved this place! Seems newly remodeled, very clean, well appointed and thoughtful. Kayaks were in great condition and so much fun. We will be back!
Very clean, perfect location. Will definitely stay again.

Great place
This is the third house we have rented from Kathy. She is a great host and her houses are top notch. This place is clean and looks as though was very recently remodeled. There are 2 in water dock lights that kept the trout and reds there all night!
We enjoyed this nicely decorated, clean canal home. The layout worked well for my family. The house is well stocked with kitchen utensils and other essentials. The outdoor seating was nice, the kids loved the kayaks and the green lights for night fishing. We recommend this home!
The place was great. We fished off the dock in the evenings, were conveniently located to groceries and restaurants and were able to drive 5 minutes and park on the beach for some sun and sand. Loved the place.

That is a wonderful compliment. There are so many choices and your review says so much. Thus truly is such a spectacular property. Thank you for putting that in your review. It was our pleasure having you.
We had a fantastic stay at this charming home—it was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck overlooking the canal, which offered a peaceful spot to unwind. My boys loved fishing right off the boat dock, adding a special touch to our visit. Kathy, the host, was wonderful and responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. The check-in and check-out process was simple and hassle-free. We highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking to relax and soak in all that Jamaica Beach has to offer.
