This was a 5 star VRBO all the way around. We loved the layout of the house including the open kitchen/living room, the front porch and screened back porch. We also really enjoyed all of the kitchen appliances/gadgets, the recreational equipment made available to us, and the bbq grill. The location was super convenient for getting to the beach or going out to eat or sightsee. The house and yard were also great for for our dog as she had plenty of space. The host was always quick to respond if we had any questions. We will definitely stay here again.

The Blue Pelican is by far one of the best vacation rentals we have ever experienced. The home is incredibly well appointed from a fully stocked kitchen to bicycles and beach gear in the garage. The screened-in back porch is also a treasure. When guests arrive, everything has been considered for an enjoyable stay. I cannot recommend this property enough.

Fun Getaway

Love the Blue Pelican, my second time staying here and it was just as beautiful as the first time! Beautiful decorated, great amenities, very clean and a quiet neighborhood. My favorite feature is screened-in back porch, great to sit and read with a nice glass of wine! Will definitely stay again in the future.

Great, quiet, clean house, very centrally located

We had a very relaxing time at the Blue Pelican house. The neighborhood was quiet, it was close to the beach and restaurants. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Great HVAC (temperature control). Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and baking. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

Galveston Visit

Stayed a week, and this was a very comfortable beautifully renovated cottage. Fully stocked with everything you might need and the screened in back porch was a lovely spot to drink morning coffee. The fenced front and back gardens were perfect for our two small dogs. The Galveston seawall was a short drive for our morning walk.

Our recent stay at the Blue Pelican was definitely “a stay above the rest”! The listing photos don’t do this property justice; it is even more adorable in person! Each room is lovingly furnished, with tons of thoughtful, decorative detail throughout.Most impressive is how this host has anticipated every possible need a guest might have. I’ve never seen a kitchen pantry in a rental be so well stocked, not to mention some of the other unexpected items we ran across: coloring books for kids, dog food bowls and a retractable leash, sleep/sound machines in both bedrooms for guests that might need some help getting to sleep, and bath robes in the primary bedroom closet. Even the paper products throughout the house were name brand and high quality. It’s a little thing, but one that’s very much appreciated.We found plenty to do around the island during our four-night stay, but our favorite thing may have been just relaxing out on the screened porch. Also took the bicycles out for a tour of the beautiful homes in the Silk Stocking District one afternoon. We can’t recommend this house or this host enough! Thanks for a great stay!
