The best weather source for anybody to use is nhc noaa gov for tropical-related storm information. This government agency is not in the media business and will not sensationalize the situation as Social Media and News outlets tend to do.
The Purple Pelican is not in the weather prediction business and as we all know these situations are always very fluid and changes happen.
Unless there is a call for a mandatory evacuation of the city of Port Aransas or Mustang Island it is business as usual.
We always suggest that guests purchase trip insurance to protect their investment from potential interruptions.

We enjoyed our stay it was a blessing the location and atmosphere were nice. Everything you could need was in the kitchen. Linens, towels and rooms were very clean. Loved the seashells throughout the house. We would gladly book again!
The place was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. Probably could use a bbq pit closer as the only one available was a bit of a distance from our location.
Kristan was an amazing hostess - communication with her was great! The condo was lovely and clean and had all we needed. We look forward to future stays at the Purple Pelican!
We enjoyed are yearly family vacation at the Purple Pelican. It was roomy enough for 5 children ( ages 1-11) and 5 adults. The pack n play and child cot came in handy. The 3 bathrooms really came in handy. Love the large covered patio/breeze way. Kristin was quick to respond to our concerns. Great stay!
We stayed there with myself, husband, adult son, and sister with four children there was plenty of room beds were super comfortable kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need the kids really enjoyed the games it was a nice touch while we were indoors I will definitely stay again next trip

This was our second year staying at the purple pelican and will not be our last! Everything about this condo is perfect, from the location, size, and pools. It stayed nice and cool inside, kitchen was fully stocked with anything you might forget plus a nice size washer/dryer. Thank you again Kristin for hosting! We can’t wait to book again next year!
