Rockport house description
You will love sitting outside on the fabulous SOUTHERN-facing deck! Watch beautiful sunrises & sunsets, see pelicans soar and dive, herons, egrets and skimmers as well. Occasionally we are graced with the presence of a dolphin or two in Dolphin Canal. Winter time is a great time for birding. Whooping Cranes migrate to the nearby Aransas Wildlife Refuge between November and March.
The well stocked kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals. There is no need to bring spices or coffee/tea. That is provided along with snacks and bottled water. So, if you arrive late and have not had time to go to the store, there will be fresh hot coffee for you in the morning! You can dine inside or out on the deck overlooking Dolphin Canal. One of the best features of Pelican Guest House is the SOUTHERN EXPOSURE. This provides tropical breezes in the summer and protection from a cold north wind in the winter!
Rockport is a perfect getaway place with quaint shops, art galleries, museums, an aquarium & restaurants. There is great fishing, bird-watching, or it is just a great place to kick back and relax! The Rockport /Fulton area also hosts many festivals and events throughout the year. We'll provide you with maps and info to make your visit complete.
Come stay at Pelican Guest House.... We know you'll want to return!

The Pelican House is absolutely the best getaway I have ever experience. The online pictures were valid and even better in person. The landscaping and great ample parking were also a great positive in choosing this perfect property. The décor inside included menus and cookbooks that lent to a memorable stay.

Pelican guest house is everything a person could ask for plus more. The pictures, descriptions, and landscaping were absolutely true to the online listing. I would recommend this to anyone going to Rockport. Inside the décor was perfect to lend to the ambiance of the coast. Even personal touches of coastal cookbooks and local menus made our trip so pleasant we did not want to leave. Thanks for a great getaway....Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We thank you for your wonderful review and are so glad that the pictures/descriptions were as expected. We know you enjoyed your stay, visiting with friends and getting into the Rockport mode! Please come back and stay longer if you can!

This house was just what we were looking for on our annual mini vacation. We stayed for 4 nights. We especially enjoyed the island kitchen and back porch! The owners were very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. This is in a great location to be central to everything we had planned to do. We found that we spent more time than expected at the house for the peace and quiet. This place has all the dishes and supplies that we needed to cook it up on the back porch "vacation style". I initially thought this would be strange staying in the upstairs of a house while the owners were home, but we had our own entrance, great parking and no interruptions from the owners whatsoever! Thanks Judith and Jerry! PS my wife says hi to Cowboy and Mojito!!! We'll be back soon! Nick and LeslieRecommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.
Owner response: We are so glad you enjoyed the accommodations as well as having such a successful fishing trip! Thanks for the great review and describing the accommodations, i.e., private entrance, ample parking, great location and "non intrusive" owners! Glad you enjoyed Cowboy and our newest pup...Mojito! We look forward to your return!

The guest house is as pictured, very well appointed and comfortable. With two separate bathrooms it is just right for two couples traveling together. It was nice to have access to a grill on the deck. We did not stay long but enjoyed our stay.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing.
Owner response: We are glad you enjoyed our accommodations. Our guests really enjoy the deck with the grill ....lots of seating, overlooking the canal. Hopefully next time you can stay longer! And as you stated, Pelican Guest House is perfect for two couples.

We had such an amazing stay at the Pelican Guest House. I was skeptical at first about having the owners "under foot", but they were great. They did not impose on us. We did enjoy meeting them and spending a small amount of time with them. They are great Hosts and we would definitely go back there again. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway.Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks for the review and glad you had an amazing time! Often we don't even know when our guests come and go. We are so busy with our routine and projects and are available if there is a need. Thanks again and hope you will return.

Our stay at the Pelican Guest House was ultra-comfortable. The décor is welcoming and cheery as are the owners. With a quick stop to the local market we had everything we needed to cook in for a couple of nights. There are also plenty of bars & restaurants nearby to enjoy, along with all else the Rockport area has to offer. This vrbo is definitely a keeper in our travel book!Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for your review and we are glad you enjoyed our guest house. We take pride in providing those extra amenities...coffee, bottled water, as well as "ultra comfy" linens and towels and a well stocked kitchen for those who like to cook.

Owner info
About the owner: I am a long time educator and hope to retire in the next year or two. Jerry is self employed and is also busy with several projects...mainly his sailboat! Most of the time we are around, but never 'in your space'. We enjoy our guests, but respect their need for privacy and a restful vacation.
Why the Owner Chose Rockport:
Wonderful location with easy access to many events and conveniences. Rockport beach, aquariums, shops, museums, art galleries, birding areas are very close! Kayak rental available and they will deliver kayaks to you on our property.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
You will relax and unwind. That's all I ever want to do when I go on vacation. However, there is lots see and explore in the Rockport/Fulton area.
