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.

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!

Amazing stay

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.

Blue Pelican

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.

The beach was accessible by golf cart but not too close to the beach. the golf cart, beach chairs, a beach tent and many other beach items were provided. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, pots, pans, utensils, etc. We enjoyed the visit.

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!!!

About the host

Hosted by Christy

Host profile image
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.
