Girls Weekend

6 adult women stayed from a Thurs - Sun. Everything is as listed. We had plenty of room for sleeping and bathrooms, etc. This is a beautiful house. Pantry was stocked with all of the essentials. Mosquito’s were terrible outside but the owner left bug spray on the porches to be used. We wished they had a sidewalk from the house to the beach in the grassy area between the different buildings. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Beautiful Home!!!

This home is fabulous and very well appointed. Getting to the beach was difficult because the grass was high and hadnt been mowed. We got eaten alive by bugs and mosquitoes. This is a HOA problem that should be addressed.

3rd Time as Charming as the 1st and 2nd!

Such caring hosts keeping us updated throughout the event of Hurricane Beryl before our stay. They reached out and were willing to offer a full refund (through insurance) if we decided to cancel our stay. The power was restored to the house either the night before or the morning of our checkin. My family and I were making contingencies as to if we could delay the trip until the power returned or just cancel. Gladly we were able to make the trip. There was no internet in the house but, honestly I feel that was a relief. We all needed to unplug a little. The house was in all working order when we arrived. Although, right after a hurricane, mosquitoes were a problem. But not inside the house. It did deter us from getting to use the outdoor grill. There was an issue with the dryer, and the owners called out the repair man for the next day and fixed the problem. The WiFi was restored in time for our final day, so that was nice being able to watch TV but, we still spent most of our time enjoying the breeze on the balconies. This was our 3rd time staying at “The Purple Pelican” and it was as charming as all previous times. Clean and pleasant. This was wonderful! Also; given that this was after a hurricane and the power situation was uncertain, the island was basically empty compared to how it would normally be this time of year. So, we really didn’t have any waiting for anything and the beach was nearly all to ourselves.

Easter at the Beach!

My parents (from WI) have a condo at Holiday Inn Beach Vacations so my sister and her family flew in from WI and we all met at the beach! The Purple Pelican was within walking distance of the condo and the beach! The 6 cousins LOVED all the beach amenities, especially the boogie boards. The parents LOVED the beach chairs and the wagon to haul everything. Plenty of space to spread out if you need some time to refresh away from family members. Bathrooms for every room were a huge bonus! Great views of the beach from several decks around the home for morning coffee. The Purple Pelican was the perfect home base for my extended family’s first Texas Easter.

Absolutely Awesome!!

The Purple Pelican is an Awesome beach house!! The bedrooms are comfortable, cozy & decorated impeccably (so is the rest of the house)! The kitchen is well designed & has Everything that one could need (including griddle, wine bottle opener, plastic storage containers, etc). There’s also great beach stuff on site (sturdy wagon, chairs, mini plastic shovel & toys for kids to use while playing in the sand, large beach towels). The house is just a quick & pleasant walk over to the beach and one can view the Gulf from the comfort of the back porch. This was our 1st stay here, but we plan to return again. It’s truly a HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!

Girls' getaway

We found this property to be absolutely gorgeous!!! It is incredibly well appointed from an abundance of silverware, plates, cups and mugs, to labeled light switches, to spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Lovely touches like individual Keurigs in some bedrooms with complimentary pods and bottled water. We thoroughly enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch in the mornings and watching the sun rise over the ocean. Even though the property is not ocean front we were able to see and hear the ocean just fine. It is also a quick walk to get to the beach AND it is a short walk along the beach to the Tipsy Turtle should one desire to go there. Highly recommend this property!!

Roach Infestation

Checked in on Oct 14th. Next morning, woke up to roaches. So many roaches that we opted to not cook in the kitchen after that morning. Coffee pot and toaster had roaches crawling over it as well, including dead roaches on the Krueig and next to the water reservior. We saw that another guest posted about the roach issue in July. We sent a message to the owner asking about this issue and was assured that the problem was handled. It was not. This house constantly had roaches, big and small roaches. These were not outside, southern or beach bugs, but roaches. The response from the host was not acceptable. First response was "best not to leave food out, thanks for update". We were making toast! No food was left out. We had bananas and the coffee pods on the counter only. Everything else was in the frig. The next response from host was on Monday because I complained about now roaches were in the master bathroom, on Oct 16th at 11:58am host replied: "Expect bugs at the beach; our pest control will address it next week and sprays monthly, apologies for any inconvenience." We had to opt to not cook any meals at this house after the first day. Everthing was in frig. It did not matter, we had to use the can of raid left under the sink each day. To say that I felt disgusted and disrespected is an understatement. We paid thousands of dollars to stay for one week in a place that was roach infested. We took video and pictures of the daily roach issue. We were ripped off and defrauded.

Beautiful home

The home and amenities were fabulous! Beachside Village is a great area. The beach access from the house is very convenient. We were very disappointed to find those little German roaches in the kitchen, in drawers and in the dishwasher after it was run. When we mentioned this issue to the homeowner his response was that it was time to spray again. The property manager did reach out on Wednesday after the issue was reported on Monday but I didn’t get his voicemail until Thursday. I returned his call and he offered to have someone come out and spray. We were nearing the end of our stay and didn’t want to have to worry about getting everything out of the way for an exterminator to spray the home properly to rid the home of these pests for the following guests. We were traveling with small children and cleanliness was very important to us. The roach issue really put a bad taste in our mouth about the entire stay. I understand that pests can be an issue anywhere, but for what we paid to rent the house, we should not have had to deal with roaches daily.

Fun 4th of July!

We enjoyed the house and proximity to the beach. Plenty of room. Nice to have beach towels and accessories available for use. Kids enjoyed riding their small bikes on the patio. It was great to have a hose available to rinse off before heading upstairs. Some issues with flies, mostly from the outdoor trashcans. We moved the cans and sprayed underneath where something had leaked, which helped quite a bit. Daughter-in-law ordered some sticky fly traps which seemed to solve the remainder of the problem. By no means did this affect our trip negatively, but I might recommend packing some sticky traps. The house was very clean, and also fairly kid-proofed (our kids are 2 yo, 4 yo, and another 2 yo) We moved a couple things out of reach, but otherwise it was great. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood! Overall, excellent!
