Fabulous place to stay

This property was perfect for our group. So clean, spacious, and well-appointed. Loved all the outdoor seating areas, high and low. Steps to the beach. Great kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Nice quiet area too. Will definitely go back.

Great location and set up for a weekend at the beach

The set up was great for our two families with children. Having two masters w/ bath plus a third bathroom was very welcomed. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the deck space was huge and a great place to unwind after a day at the beach. Can't beat the 5 min walk to and from the beach. Would recommend!

Loved Loved Loved this beach house! Very comfortable with everything you need for a great experience.

Don't be Jelly is the cutest house on Galveston Island. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, 8 of us stayed very comfortably! Although not ON the beach, it is just a short distance to walk to the beach. Great amenities!!! Highly recommend this place and we will be back soon, I hope!!! Patti

Spacious layout with room for privacy

We stayed with our two boys, 7&10, and it was a perfect spot. We could have easily included a grandparent or additional couple. Each room has its own bathroom, and the split level provides privacy and makes the most of the square footage. Just a short walk to the beach, we were so grateful for the wagon included, and both our boys are already asking to go back. Thank you for sharing your peaceful space with us!

The Perfect Getaway!

I just spent a few days at Don't Be Jelly with 7 of my favorite people. The house is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. The kitchen had everything a cook would need and all of the drawers and cabinets were labeled, saving loads of time for just relaxing! There are outdoor spaces on every level with rocking chairs, hammocks, a fire pit and an outdoor grill. I will be returning - soon, I hope!

Relaxing stay in a very comfortable and stylish beachhouse

I spent 2 nights here with my bookclub friends, and we had a great time! The house is very beautiful, with lots of areas inside and outside that are great for visiting. It was so nice that each bedroom had a designated bathroom, as well as one downstairs for easy access when we were outside. I loved the style and colors - calm blues and greens - pretty artwork, and comfortable furniture. The kitchen has everything you'd need to cook up a meal. We enjoyed having our breakfast out on the main deck. I say "main" because there are two more decks, which you can access from the bedrooms - so nice! It took just a few minutes to walk to the beach, which was delightful!

Great Experience, from start to finish!

This home is an ideal place to stay for a family or group gathering. Our bookclub of 8 women spent a couple of nights here and found it to be perfect. The location is away from the city in a community right on a lovely beach, which was an easy 5 minute walk from the house. The house itself is in excellent shape and super clean. It’s nicely furnished and decorated with homey touches that we appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped with all the dishes and cooking utensils normally needed and an unusually well-stocked spice rack. The lift for our luggage came in handy, too. There is ample seating on the decks and even under the house, where there is a grill and a hammock too. Access was easy and check-in and -out was seamless. Communication with Traci and Tony was fast when we had a question. I have zero hesitation in recommending that you choose this home for your vacation.

Beautiful Beach House Getaway

Our family of 5 opted for a last minute getaway on the coast to meetup with family. Traci was very responsive getting us booked. The house has a nice clean exterior with a welcoming porch as you enter upstairs. Make sure you head up empty handed and send down the luggage elevator for all your treasures. It made short work of hauling kid & wife accessories. The inside was simple and clean. Every room feels recently updated. This place was perfect for our family to crash after a long day in the sun. Each bedroom has balcony access. The setup feels perfect for two families able to squeeze kids into a trundle bunk room. Both primary rooms have large private baths attached. Very nice. Each capable of accommodating a pack-n-play. We did not cook. That said, the kitchenware is nicer than any beach house I've experienced. Great experience! We will definitely be book marking this house for future trips. Thanks for the memories!

About the host

Hosted by Traci Pirri

Host profile image
Don't Be Jelly is family-owned and hosted by Tony and Traci Pirri.

Jellyfish represent flexibility, openness, and peace of mind. They stand for reconciliation and the avoidance of conflict, promote intuition as a source of wisdom, and encourage openness and genuineness in interpersonal relationships. Our hope is that your stay in our home will help you and your guests to create peace in your souls and memories that last a lifetime.

Interestingly, a jellyfish in street slang is someone without resolve and spineless. This home welcomes friends and families for vacations, but also hosts Hope For The Journey EMDR counseling retreats where individuals and couples can let go of what's holding them back and heal. Clients have to show grit, but post healing often remark that they feel stronger, with greater resolve and sense of purpose. Hence, the name Don't Be Jelly!

We are honored for you to share our space and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. From the fully stocked kitchen to local art on the walls, it is important for our guests to have a space where they can truly let go of their worries and reset.

Why they chose this property

Pirates Beach is a well-loved vacation spot in Galveston Island. It's a quick 15-20 minute ride along the beautiful coast into Galveston proper where you can enjoy the awesome history of Galveston, great meals, live music, and fun for the kids at the Pleasure Pier or Moody Gardens.

But the neighborhood itself is great, too. There's ice cream trucks that come by regularly for the kids, great restaurants, and of course, the beach. Golf carts are available with drop off/pick up available right to the house. What more could you ask for?

What makes this property unique

With new renovations, Don't Be Jelly is the perfect balance of style and comfort. Peek-a-boo views of the Gulf can be enjoyed from all three levels, and the kids even have a yard to play corn hole or bocce ball in. The outdoor spaces allow for whole group gatherings, but also plenty of smaller gathering areas for private moments. And no one has to share bathrooms with 3.5 bathrooms.
