Pelican's Perch is a brand new home with the best sunset views in Jamaica Beach!
(Now with a new pool !!) Come relax with the whole family and enjoy the "perch" that is the envy of the neighborhood! With an unobstructed panoramic view of the bay from two private balconies facing the western sunset, along with two decks overlooking the east side with one of the widest, most pristine canals in the area, you will toast the sunset each evening and enjoy the best fishing and crabbing outside your backdoor from morning to night. Soak up the sun on the spacious decks or play games in the shade on the lower patio where the bay breezes will keep you cool. A grill and downstairs beverage refrigerator are conveniently available for your use. There is a swim ladder for access to the canal, a covered boat dock for tethering your boat or water toys, and two crab traps to get the fishing started.
If you ever feel the need to go inside, you will find spacious rooms and private baths so that everyone can have their own space. The kitchen is fully equipped with top of the line appliances and all the amenities you can think of. Two comfortable living areas boast big screen TVs. And of course, wifi is provided. On the practical side, enjoy the use of a large utility room with brand new front loading washer and dryer.
There are beds enough to sleep a crowd--20!!-- but the house is designed so that you won't feel you are all sleeping on top of each other, unless, of course, you are sleeping in the bunk room! Two master bedrooms, one upstairs and one down, have king-sized beds, en suite baths, private balconies, and for convenience, the upstairs master is equipped with an added luxury: a handy two-person coffee maker for morning balcony quiet time, and a wine bar for sunset toasting time! Additionally, there are two secondary masters with queen beds and private en suite baths. This setup makes this vacation retreat perfect for a multi-generational family trip or a couple's weekend with four couples plus kids. And about those kids--the bunk room provides beds for 8! Plus a sofa bed in one living area, and a twin/trundle in one master make room for some overflow. And for the tiniest humans, we provide a pack and play for your convenience. Each bedroom boasts a luxury extra large shower, with the exception of one, which has a shower/tub combo for those tiny tots.
Don't want to share your ensuite bathroom with the masses? Well you don't have to. There are half baths on both the first floor and second floor.
Where's the beach? Only about a mile and a half down Bob Smith. Just head down to the pocket park on the other side of Stewart Drive with your towels, chairs, umbrellas and ice chest.
Pelican's Perch truly has something for everyone. Come and stay. You will make memories that last a life time.

The host was very easy to communicate with. House was beautiful and stocked with everything we needed. Perfect location for a family getaway. We fished and crabbed, easily went into Galveston for shopping/coffee/meals , and enjoyed some beautiful sunsets!

Katie, communicated well with us and even though we were very accommodating and responsive the microwave which was new continued to be an issue. We have since replaced the microwave, which was defective, with a new one. We would be happy to have Katie and her guests stay with us again.
Everything we thought it would be & more. Rooms were large and we had plenty of space for everyone, the views were amazing and the breeze from all the balconies was great. Beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. I asked many questions ahead of time and I appreciated all the helpful and quick responses.

Great spot for a getaway weekend! The house is laid out very thoughtfully and sleeps a lot of people without feeling crowded. Everything was clean and comfortable. Overall, a great experience!

Logan called before his stay and introduced himself which was a very nice way to get to know him. He explained why they were staying and how he would keep all guest aware of the rules. This was impressive. Logan and his group left the home just as they said they would.
This property was clean and organized. We enjoyed fishing there. It was quite roomy and every room has its own bathroom. We appreciate the black-out curtains! The kitchen is well-stocked. They even have canoes for us to use. The only downside is the TV remote not working. We will definitely consider this place again for our next family gathering.
The house is absolutely beautiful, and the location was amazing..... but there were definitely some issues that we had. It's a newer house, so we expected some things to not be finalized, but there were workers on the property almost the whole week, with their own children wondering through our stuff in the garage and on the porch, it made us very uncomfortable. We also assumed with paying close to 10,000 for the week that we would have most, if not all, of the essential items. There were no kitchen rags or towels, only 1 roll of toilet paper for 14 people in each bathroom, no paper towels, 1 trash bag (and we were not told that Jamaica Beach requires black trash bags), the garbage disposal was broken, no soap in some the bathrooms or hand towels, and sheets that didn't fit the bed which made it very uncomfortable to sleep in. There were also a few things that were already broken in the house, like one of the bar stools and the ottoman.When things were reported to the owners I was told I was wrong, like I didn't look for the kitchen towels. For the price we paid, I don't think we'd stay there again, the house is missing some small convenience things especially for people there for fishing. Overall, we were disappointed.

Katrina’s group left the house in good shape so we left her a good review. However, we would like to respond to her negative comments. Katrina was told IN ADVANCE of her rental that we would be adding a pool and there would be workers on the property. We told her if the pool was complete her group would be able to enjoy it without paying for the extra amenity, but if it wasn’t complete, having work in progress was a possibility. As it turns out, it was finished just before their arrival and they used it without paying for the benefit. Although there were still some incidental workers there completing things, this was all disclosed in advance. Regarding amenities, unlike many properties, we supply paper products, sheets, towels, coffee, creamer and sweeteners but we do not supply unlimited amounts and anticipate renters will be able to make a run to the store if additional is needed. We do provide crab traps, multiple kayaks and outdoor items well beyond most vacation rentals. We have NEVER had a renter suggest that the amenities provided were not sufficient until Katrina. In fact, one of our recent renters was thrilled to find so many things were provided that were not anticipated. Having been in this business awhile with multiple properties, I can say that I recognize renters like Katrina, and for other owners who have been at this awhile, you will too. Rent to her if you want to spend the entire time they are staying on your property getting emails.
We had a wonderful weekend stay at this beach house in Jamaica Beach. The home was lovely, comfortable, and the perfect getaway for a relaxing weekend. The pool was a huge highlight, and we loved having beautiful views from every window. It felt peaceful, easy, and exactly what we needed. We would definitely stay here again!
Billy was a great guest and communicated very well. Billy was really great with feedback on the home. We definitely would have him and his family back again.
