Gorgeous natural light and sweeping views of West Bay and the surrounding wetlands fill this beautiful, four-bedroom retreat, scenically situated on the shores of Galveston Island.
A lovely home base for even the most discerning guest, this property sits two miles up the road from Sunny Beach (on which cars are allowed). An outdoor shower, a shaded ground-floor patio (perfect for cornhole), three separate decks, and central AC all await your return home from the beach each afternoon.
The main living space is one floor up from the garden level, offering a delightfully open layout with generous windows that let in the sunshine. The kitchen is polished and professional, with stainless steel appliances (including a gas range, a French-door refrigerator, and a wine fridge), a spacious prep island with bar seating, and an adjacent wet bar and laundry room. The airy dining room seats the whole family, while the living room has a chic sectional and a streaming-capable flatscreen cable TV for movie nights.
Each of the four bedrooms has a flatscreen TV and an attached bathroom - one on the main floor and three on the floor above. Three of the bedrooms have direct deck access as well. A bonus fifth sleeping space awaits on the top floor, offering the perfect spot to escape with a good book or watch a movie in peace.

Nice House need some work for such a beautiful property lots of little things broken. The outdoor furniture needs to be cleaned covered in bird poop was not usable. The concrete down stairs needs to be pressure washed cover in algea very slick when wet. House was clean. Communication with Vacasa was terrible almost 24 response time and had to be relayed to local manager.
Fabulous property, so well presented. We had a great time, we will be back for sure. The only complaint I had was the lack of towels but everything else was fabulous.
The house was clean, modern and furnished for comfort. However, the mattresses on the trundle bed in the bunk room need to be replaced to be used by adults.

Great Home
House is absolutely gorgeous, views were Breathtaking we really enjoyed our stay
This was our second stay at this house and we absolutely love this house. It's spacious. It's the perfect location for everything we needed. Very quiet neighborhood which was a plus for us.
We loved the house it was very comfortable for the 4 of us. Each room had its own bathroom which we loved! We had a little issue getting into the house but it was fixed within minutes. Would love to go back!
Blue Pelican was the perfect setup for 3 adult couples and our new 6 month grandbaby to spend the week for an upcoming weekend. Bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms were large and comfortable and we all felt as if we had the master suite! Living areas and kitchen spacious and lovely views from every window. Highly recommend
Wonderful, high-end property with all the comforts of home!

Great house!
We had a great stay. The house was exactly like the photos and in a great location. It is very scenic around the house but it is near some marshes so there are mosquitos.
PERFECT space for 10 of us to gather. Loved the porches, living space, plenty of bathrooms, large table to sit around and quiet neighborhood yet close to all that Galveston has to offer for activities.
Loved the location the house was wonderful. The only it problem was the thermostats were not marked and the downstairs thermostat controlled the upstairs.

Relaxing family vacation.
The elevator saved us, especially because we traveled with our aging mother who otherwise would have really struggled with all the stairs! Beautiful home, great spot for a family vacation! Thank you Blue Pelican!
This house was absolutely perfect! The area was quiet. The home was spacious and had everything we needed.

A true oasis of elegance!
This home is serene and spectacular! It offers plenty of space, very clean and has all the modern amenities. It sits off the beaten path with beautiful views of the intercoastal waterway yet is just a few minute drive to the beach, popular food and shopping destinations in Galveston. It's a new, beautifully decorated modern home, and will not disappoint. We'd for sure visit again.

It has great, large TVs and high-speed internet in everyone. All the living areas and bedrooms have plenty of space and storage. We had an amazing time.

We absolutely loved this house. We come to galveston several times a year and this is one of the best houses we've rented. We enjoyed having our local family visit and the space was perfect for us to spend that time together. Elevator is a life saver. Beds were so comfortable and the peacefulness of the deck during sunrise and sunset is worth every penny. We will be staying here again in the near future!
