About this property

Quiet get away close to the beach.

Beautifully remodeled beach house stands steps away from sandy shores, where seagulls dance and dolphins play. Relax on the large deck, a mere breath away from the salty breeze and the rhythmic lull of the tides. The Wayward Pelican is nestled in Treasure Island at the San Luis Pass, where great fishing and beautiful water collide. The Treasure Island Community is a quiet, low-traffic family friendly community perfect for your relaxation. Make us your destination!

Beautiful and Relaxing

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Wayward Pelican. From the moment we pulled up the place was so welcoming. The property was clean but the open, airy vibe made it even better. We love Galveston but being away from the hustle and bustle of the city but being close enough to travel there or the other way to Surfside made our stay even better. We can’t wait to visit again!

Another Great Stay!!!

This was our second time here at the Wayward Pelican. Everything was just as great as the first time!! I’ll list all the pros of this place to convince you to book here.•The view of the ocean is amazing!!•plenty of out door furniture to enjoy the view!•the grill is a flat top which makes cooking on the grill easy. And a perk is that it is on the deck so no having to go down stairs where the mosquitos like to hang out.•the one inside is very spacious and open concept. •nice sized kitchen!! Perfect for cooking meals for the whole family!

Great family vacation

Our stay at the wayward pelican was great! The house was beautiful and very clean!!! The rooms were perfect for our family and there was a great amount of space for us! We had 4 adults, two 12 years old and one 2 year old. The ocean view is way better than the pictures they posted! And there is a lot more spacious room Than the pictures showed! So it was even better than expected We will returning!! I will say one thing, they do not have an outdoor shower, however they do have a rinse off hose right by the bottom of the stairs. I love taking outdoor showers at the beach so if there was any complaints it would be that but honestly everything else was perfect and we will still be back! Maybe they will build one on!

Restful and Quiet Vacation

We had a fantastic time at this property. Debbie was super responsive and accommodating if/when we had any questions or had any momentary issues. A few helpful tips, especially for families: It's a decent little walk to the main beach if you've got little ones, but there's plenty of parking right next to the beach ramp if you just want to drive down. With this property being at the end of this island, the auto traffic on the actual beach is minimal, which was a big plus for us. The area felt relatively quiet, but not isolated. As is the case on most parts of the island, the internet is pretty hit or miss, so plan accordingly if that's a big need. Debbie had a solid stock of DVDs that got us through the couple humps when the streaming wasn't quite cooperating and we needed to distract the kiddos. They had everything we needed; it was clean, quiet, well-stocked, restful, and a lot of great space. Would absolutely book again. Thanks Debbie!

Beachside Paradise

We had an incredible stay at the beach. The beach was in easy walking distance, and the house provides gorgeous ocean views from the balconies. The house was exactly as described! Absolutely adorable and clean. We had everything we needed. Debbie is an amazing host and made us feel at home from the start. You won't find a better hostess! We can't wait to make more memories in the future!

Clean, comfy, beautiful sandcastle.

Wonderful getaway with my 3 boys; 16, 17, and 10. We had a beautiful everything you could possibly need home, steps from the beach and so peaceful with a short drive to Galveston for a bit more youngsters stuff to do. Make sure to check out; Moody Gardens, any 3-D to 5-D show you can, Pleasure Pier, & Moody Aquarium. There was a Buc-ee’s close to get all our basics. The Boys loved it. Way cooler than the Speedways we have in Chicago. We enjoyed driving and exploring the restaurants not to far away. Seahorse Bar & Grill and Way West Grill and Pizzeria is yummy. Kids enjoyed such a peaceful beautifully decorated family friendly home with amazing views. Deb is an outstanding host. Answered all of my silly questions immediately. My boys and I can’t thank you enough Debbie! Can’t wait to get back! Happy Mommy Heather
