Cozy Beach Retreat with Deck & 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!
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: Looking for beach gear for your Galveston getaway? We have you covered! Beach chairs and tents can be ready at the house upon your arrival. Message us for details and rates.
WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.
Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.
Pet policy: Up to 3 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if you’re planning on bringing your furry friend!
Parking: There is room for 4 cars in the driveway.
Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.
Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.
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.
