Perfect Beach House

Beautiful home with easy access to a private beach! Christy was a wonderful host. Very quick to respond, friendly and accommodating! Friendly neighbors in a quiet neighborhood. Away from the noise of the other beaches, but a short drive to all the action. The golf cart and beach chairs/umbrella were a great bonus. We will definitely book again.

Ocean Views galore!

What a great stay. Ocean views all around, wrap around porch was perfect for fresh ocean air and catching sunsets, plenty of space for our family (with rooms to spare) and a large and charming fenced yard for our beach-loving pup. Was quiet and we walked to the beach everyday. Kids loved the golf cart, husband probably liked it most. Just a really great set up for a beach getaway. Definitely recommend!

Comfortable House in a Perfect Location

This property was in a perfect location and very comfortable for my family of 10, during our visit to Galveston this July. In particular, all the beach amenities were a huge bonus, making it so much easier to travel a bit lighter. We would definitely stay here again.

Close to the beach

This was a good location overall to the beach. Just a short walk. The house was not as big as it appeared on the website, but roomy enough for the 4 families. There were a few maintenance issues, but overall a comfortable place to stay. Be sure to bring everything you need for cooking except for pots and pans. Plenty of dishes, but no oil, condiments, ect. Dollar General is directly across the street. Neighbor to the right is very friendly and helpful, the neighbor to the left, not so much. The police were called on us for having more than 4 cars in the driveway, which no one including the neighbor or the host, Christy, said they knew nothing about any ordinance or agreement.

Family vacation

The house was a perfect location for us. Private beach was so nice and the golf cart was a fantastic asset to have use of. Beds were comfortable. We only cooked breakfast while there but kitchen is very nice and well stocked with whatever you would need. There were beach chairs and sand toys in the garage. An outdoor shower to use before entering the house. Lots of seating around the deck of the house. We were pleased with our stay. There is a Dollar Tree right across from the entrance of the addition for any supplies you might need. It’s about 15 minutes to the Seawall which isn’t far and allows your stay to be away from the hustle all the time. The house is 4 bedrooms upstairs and 2 full bathrooms upstairs and one full bathroom downstairs

Great house, awesome location

The entire family enjoyed staying at the Blue Pelican. If you want some peace and quiet, the us is the place 15-20 minute drive to Galveston, but you are away from all the noise. The beach is a convenient 5 minute walk and the property has everything you could need for the beach. The house has all the amenities. So relaxing sitting on the porch, drinking coffee and watching the waves. Rooms are spacious, kitchen is well equipped with cookware and refrigerators upstairs and downstairs allow plenty of room for whatever you need to keep cold. The golf cart is a really nice added touch Highly recommend for a relaxing weekend with the family!!!

Spring vacation on the beach

Just a little bit of issues with the house when we got there. Needs a little maintenance to make a better. Had to do a little cleaning and pick up. The house is really neat being an octagon. It kinda felt like I was going in circle going to floor, to floor, LOL. Beautiful view and being on the deck was nice. A/C, wash machine works great. Beds was cozy, rooms are nice, missing remote on one TV. Plenty of dishes for everyone. Host got back to me very quickly but didn't answer all my question. Wish they had curtains in all the bedrooms so I could sleep longer in the morning. Golf cart, chairs, and beach stuff came in handy to go to the beach. Didn't had to travel very far to get into the town. Quiet neighborhood. Family enjoyed staying at the house and wanted to stay longer. Came back home with 6 inches of snow :-(

Staying at the Blue Pelican was perfect. Once a year I come to Galveston to visit my son. I have stayed at a different VRBO each time searching for the perfect combination of location plus coziness of house. The Blue Pelican sits on the top of my list. Host is very responsive as well.

So beautiful and comfortable

This property was amazing. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture with seating for everyone. 3 full bathrooms and 4 very large bedrooms. The beds were king size and very comfortable. There is also a twin bed in one of the bedrooms along with the king size bed. There is lots of outdoor seating on the main deck off of the living room area. There is seating for 10 at the dining table and kitchen bar combined. The golf cart was a great added bonus and there were lots of beach chairs to take back and forth to the beach. This property is perfect for a family reunion or girls/boys/couples trip. It would be great as well for well behaved children. The owner returns texts almost immediately and was very easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Christi for sharing your beautiful home.

Relaxing and Comfortable

I highly recommend the Blue Pelican! Our stay began with entering the well maintained and gorgeous Pirates West neighborhood then pulling into the driveway of this amazing property. The inside is decorated beautifully and is cozy and comfortable! The house is well stocked; every bathroom includes soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hand soaps and plenty of towels and cloths; and the kitchen has everything we needed to fix a fabulous meal. There is plenty of outside seating on the wraparound porch, to enjoy the scenery. I can’t say enough about the owner Christy! She was responsive in answering all my questions before I booked, detail oriented, and just an overall nice person!

Not much time but honestly the property manager was , kind, friendly and always easy to reach. She even sugested to us excellent restaraunt choices and we came back in 2 weekends just to have lunch in one of the places she suggested. Great food. The golf cart was a fun way to get around and explore and the neighborhood was like the louse, beautiful clean and quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Christy

Hi there! I am a wife and mother of 3 littles who LOVE the beach! We are excited to have a beach home to visit and to share with guests. We hope that you love it as much as we do! While we currently live in Indiana, my husband used to live in Houston and loves all things Texas!

Why they chose this property

As soon as I saw the pictures of this property, I fell in love. The neighborhood is one of the best on the island and the lot is so private with unobstructed views, and so close to the beach! The octagon shape and atrium/skylight makes it unique and fun. We are so happy to have this peaceful escape from busy life.

What makes this property unique

While it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the private beach, the golf cart comes in handy if anyone needs some extra assistance getting around. And the wrap around porch on two levels provide wonderful views of the ocean from each room and bedroom.
