The house was just as described. Clean and cozy with lots of beds and room for my daughter’s 13th birthday trip! The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of stools for sitting on while eating. We loved the simple beach decor and blue walls. The cargo lift made moving all our bags and food items in quick and easy!

About the host

Hosted by The Ivey Family

Host profile image

Pelican's Perch is the dream come true for our extended family. Four of us own the property--three born on the island of Galveston, and one New Jersey-born lady who has spent most of her life in Texas. We have children and grandchildren and wanted a place where we could all gather and enjoy precious time together.

Why they chose this property

The simple beauty of the home, the smart use of space, and the fact that it was a four bedroom property were the selling points for us. Across the street from the home is a "buyout" lot--one that cannot be built upon. This open lot increases the feel of spaciousness as you relax on the deck. We hope you will agree that Pelican's Perch is your new home away from home. Come see turtles, blue crabs, pelicans, egrets, and more. Lose your stress as you reconnect with family.

What makes this property unique

We are beachfront quality without the beachfront price. We have paid attention to every small detail to help you enjoy your stay. Pelican's Perch is relaxing inside and out, and will be a perfect family getaway.
