Beach Bungalow with Breathtaking Ocean Views
Beachfront bliss awaits! Just steps from the sand (walk it in under a minute!). Our spacious 4 bedroom 3 bathroom, The Paunchy Pelican, offers the perfect relaxation haven for families and friends. Unwind on the large screened porch, breathe in the fresh sea air, and enjoy quality time with your loved ones. Perfect for creating unforgettable memories on your beach getaway!
● WINTER TEXAN RATE: Escape to the Texas Gulf Coast this winter! Ask about our reduced monthly rates October 1 - March 1.
● Location: Jamaica Beach community of Galveston, Texas
● Beach access: The home is less than a minute walk from the community beach access point! Cars and golf carts are also allowed to park on the beach.
● Community Amenities: Guests have access to the Jamaica Beach community pool (open Memorial Day thru Labor Day - $5 per person) and city park.
● Rent BeachBox: Beach gear rentals are available! Ask us for details and rates.
● WIFI/Cable: We provide free high-speed WIFI and Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own streaming service apps.
● Pet Policy: 3 pets are allowed with a $25 fee per pet. Please keep pets off furniture, clean up after them outside, and crate them if left alone indoors.
● Parking: There is room for 4 cars in the driveway.
The Paunchy Pelican offers a relaxed beach vibe with plenty of space for families or groups. Step inside and discover a comfortable living area with an open floor plan. Whip up meals in the well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar seating, while others gather around the large dining table. After a full day of fun, unwind in the living room and watch your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV – all while enjoying calming ocean views.
Sleeping arrangements are flexible, catering to groups of various sizes. One room features a king-size bed, another a queen, and a third offers a full-over-full bunk bed with a twin trundle for additional sleeping space. The fourth room is a haven for kids or larger groups, with two sets of triple twin bunks, offering a total of 6 twin beds. Two full bathrooms keep mornings running smoothly in this home.
Head outside and breathe in the fresh air on the spacious front porch, where stunning Gulf views greet you. After a day of beach adventures, unwind in the downstairs screen room. This covered space is perfect for shared meals, board games, or simply relaxing with loved ones while enjoying the coastal breeze.
