Super relaxing stay in comfortabele, bright and clean Southwest Pelican.

Our 2nd stay at The Southwest Pelican and again we have loved our stay. It’s super clean, bright and fresh and super well stocked. We stayed with our 2 kids (8 and 9) and they love the fishing on the lower deck. Will definitively book again for our next stay.

Absolutely precious home! We enjoyed our quick New Years stay at this home. Probably the most well stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. They didn’t miss a single detail on things you may need during your stay. We loved that there was a full room/bath down stairs for a little more privacy. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, sitting on the large upstairs outdoor patio and being able to bring our own boat. Hoping to return to this rental soon.

Great place

This is the third house we have rented from Kathy. She is a great host and her houses are top notch. This place is clean and looks as though was very recently remodeled. There are 2 in water dock lights that kept the trout and reds there all night!

Spring break vacation

The place was great. We fished off the dock in the evenings, were conveniently located to groceries and restaurants and were able to drive 5 minutes and park on the beach for some sun and sand. Loved the place.

Nice waterfront retreat!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming home—it was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck overlooking the canal, which offered a peaceful spot to unwind. My boys loved fishing right off the boat dock, adding a special touch to our visit. Kathy, the host, was wonderful and responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. The check-in and check-out process was simple and hassle-free. We highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking to relax and soak in all that Jamaica Beach has to offer.

Great house for small family.

We enjoyed our stay 4 adults and a 13 & 9 year old plus fur baby. The only thing the canal had a bad odor so we couldn't enjoy the kayak's. Wish the boat didn't block our lower level view of the canal but didn't spend any time down there. Over all had a nice quit time. Thank you, Kathy! Let us know if you have other properties but on the beach side for next visit. 😉

Wonderful, cozy, super clean house!

My husband, me and our two kids (7 and 9) had a wonderful long weekend at The Southwest Pelican. The house is very comfortable, tasteful decorated and we felt right at home. Loved all the high quality furniture (outdoor chairs are sturdy and mattresses and pillows are very comfy!). Location is perfect! Our boys loooved fishing off the dock and using the kayaks to paddle around the canal. Closest beach is accessible by car and only a few minutes away. Loved the quiet mornings drinking coffee on the porch. The house is so well stocked! We cooked our own meals every night (the kids preferred this, so they could fish while we would cook, in stead of sitting in a restaurant ;)) and all amenities are there! Would love to come back one day!
