Great beach house- quiet and peaceful

The property was clean and well appointed, great proximity to the beach and outside all the hustle and bustle of Galveston proper. Only downside is that it is a 30 minute drive to get back into the city.

This place has all you need and it’s a perfect beach spot. We loved walking on the beach, seeing the sunset, and listening to the waves. Very comfortable and quiet area. Beach was basically private. I’d ABSOLUTELY stay again!

Wonderful property and location!

We loved the property and location and quick access to the beach! This was a great experience staying in Sea Isle the first time and would go back in a heartbeat! It’s been so hot in Texas this was a great little break from the heat with the ocean breezes and summer storms. House is very cozy and clean, beds we’re comfortable and the storage for beach gear was great!

Perfect getaway for our family!

The location of this property is excellent! It was clean and well equipped. It's right on the beach so it made venturing out each day super easy. The beach was never crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. The house was just as beautiful as the pictures! We will definitely be booking here again and likely bringing family to stay in a neighboring house.

Adorable house and amazing location!

I needed a little break so decided to take my son and my aunt for a little beach getaway. This place is truly a gem we really loved the fact that it was only a few steps away from the beach. We were able to set everything up and take bathroom/AC breaks whenever we needed to! Looking forward to renting this place again!

We had a great time and totally relaxed! The Perky Pelican is close enough to Galveston to get there quickly but far enough out to be quiet and private. The house is adorable with its beach theme decorations. It was incredible! Thank u!

The property was absolutely perfect! Great location, everything you need too have an amazing vacation. The house was stocked with all amenities and management was great. You're away from the hustle and bustle but not too far if you want too drive in. There's a cute little grocery store right down the road as well. We would definitely stay again 😊

Steps from the beach!

Had an excellent family vacation here. This house is about 40 steps from the beach. The beach area is secluded from the public. The house was well maintained and seemed to be recently rennovated. Communication with the property managers was great and most of their processes were automated. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We spent a long weekend at the Perky Pelican with our best friends to celebrate my husbands birthday! This house was better than we could have hoped for! Amazing location, just a few steps from the sand! Beautiful balcony to relax on in the ocean breeze. Comfortable and clean bedrooms and bathrooms!

Mother & Daughter plus 3 gkids get away.

House was cute, great location to beach & neighborhood pool. I felt like there was to much in the kitchen area & no where to store food for 3 grandkids. Getting tv to work w/ alittle bit of a problem, but we made it work for quite time. Overall it was a good 5 day trip.

First time in Galveston

The Perky Pelican is exactly as advertised. It is the most adorable little beach house, and it is quite possibly the cleanest of any property we’ve vacationed at. We had absolutely everything we needed for a week at the beach with 2 kids. The kitchen has everything needed and then some. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards for spending the day on the beach, which is only steps away. We loved the location which is very quiet but not too far from anything you might need. If we go back to Galveston we will absolutely stay at the Perky Pelican again.
