Perfect Labor Day weekend

The house is perfect for a 2 or 3 night stay on the beach in Galveston. Easy walk to set up tents on the beach in the morning. Great views of the water from both decks. Owner has thought of everything and its great to actually have supplies at the house vs having to bring it all. We had a 2 families with a mix of ages (2,4,7, 10, and 12) and the layout was great for us. We will be back.

Relaxing and Convenient. Great Family Vacation!

My family of six just loved the Blue Pelican. It was so convenient to walk to the beach and the outside sitting areas provided views, shade and relaxation. My children range from 1.5 to 15 years and the house accommodated each. This is my first ever rental that had every possible thing we needed. Plenty of room to hang out socially and to get away for some alone time. I can't wait to re-book.

Wonderful stay. Property was very clean. Beds comfy. It was very welcoming. Has everything you need for cooking and really nice hammocks downstairs. The best part is the rooftop deck complete with nice furniture for sunset watching. Master bed room very spacious. Everything has been updated.

Great vacation rental

The beach house was wonderful and just as described. We enjoyed hanging out on all three outdoor levels of the house. The third floor balcony had amazing views and we loved watching the pelicans fly over. The house instructions were thorough and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could imagine needing for preparing meals. The host Julia was so kind and responsive to all of our inquiries and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The house was also fully stocked with games, beach toys/chairs, and beach towels. You will not be disappointed if you stay here! Thanks again for everything Julia!

Fantastic property in a great location

Our extended family, 5 in total stayed at the Blue Pelican for the long Easter weekend. The house was even nicer than the photos and we were happily surprised to find a well outfitted kitchen and pantry. The large deck with beautiful ocean views were the highlight. We can't wait to come back! I wish I could give Julia an extra star for communication and making the check0in as easy as possible. It was the best experience I've had with a VRBO property.
