Pelican Cottage is a special little escape with a great sea view and lots of light. This mid century surf house has been refurbished and updated with bead board walls and shiplap but still maintains that 1950's rustic vibe. This is the place to unwind and unruffle your feathers in a quiet little surfing and fishing community right on the Gulf of Mexico. Surfside Beach offers fantastic restaurants, food trucks and outdoor activities - many within walking distance. Freshly updated and decorated, Pelican cottage is the perfect place to restore your senses and enjoy renewing your relationship. The best part is being on the pedestrian beach - no cars allowed on the sand. There will be steaks in the refrigerator and a nice bottle of wine waiting for you.

Stylish cottage very close to the beach
The interior design of this cottage made us feel right at home. We had a girls weekend down in surfside and this was just perfect. We ate at kitties purple cow. Had the best cheese burgers! We went surfing and enjoyed the amazing beach views. It was so relaxing. The pelican cottage has everything you need and is very clean! The no tv and WiFi was honestly so great. It let us disconnect and catch up and sometimes that’s just what you need. I would recommend staying here! Oscar and Shelah are great hosts. They are locals and gave us great recommendations.
Great little house. Close to several eateries. Comfortable bed and good sized facilities.
The gigsaw puzzle was missing four pieces. Very discouraging.
Oh man! You know my son is notorious for taking a few pieces of puzzles so he can be the hero at the end. Maybe that is where those four pieces went. We will be sure to replace that one. I guess you will have to come back to conquer a complete puzzle!
Wonderful home!!
Enjoyed staying at the Pelican Cottage for a getaway weekend in August! Beautifully decorated 1950's style beach house restored by loving hands. Perfect for a couple, or for someone needing some alone time. Can see the water from the living room, and took trips to walk on the beach. We went home via Galveston, a short drive, and enjoyed drinks over the Gulf of Mexico, lunch at The Original Mexican Restaurant on 14th street and then headed home. Recommend Pier 30 for a casual dinner in Surfside. Thanks so much for the steaks and bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge. It was a nice touch! We could not find a toaster and that is the only recommendation we have. Thank you again for your hospitality!!
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Pelican Cottage! Pier 30 really is a great little dive right on the water to enjoy the sunset. Thanks for the heads up on the toaster. There is a new one waiting for your bagel next time you come for a beach visit!
Clean, well appointed; decor is amazing.
This is a great property for a relaxing weekend. The area was very quiet. I can't say enough about the way the owners have decorated the place. It DOES look like it's pictures. And the water pressure in the shower is good as advertised !
The Perfect Beach Getaway
To my mind, Pelican Cottage is the epitome of the perfect beach getaway. Just enough space for two adults and 1 child; comfortable, well provisioned accommodations and peaceful.
Wonderful home. Had so much character and thought put into it. A lot of thought went into the detail
Home has everything you need to have a great beach weekend. We loved the location of the house the most. The back porch is shady and has a nice breeze from the beach. Beds were comfortable. Plenary of room for a family of four. Kitchen has everything you need. We will definitely return.
