About the host
Hosted by Traci Pirri
Don't Be Jelly is family-owned and hosted by Tony and Traci Pirri.
Jellyfish represent flexibility, openness, and peace of mind. They stand for reconciliation and the avoidance of conflict, promote intuition as a source of wisdom, and encourage openness and genuineness in interpersonal relationships. Our hope is that your stay in our home will help you and your guests to create peace in your souls and memories that last a lifetime.
Interestingly, a jellyfish in street slang is someone without resolve and spineless. This home welcomes friends and families for vacations, but also hosts Hope For The Journey EMDR counseling retreats where individuals and couples can let go of what's holding them back and heal. Clients have to show grit, but post healing often remark that they feel stronger, with greater resolve and sense of purpose. Hence, the name Don't Be Jelly!
We are honored for you to share our space and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. From the fully stocked kitchen to local art on the walls, it is important for our guests to have a space where they can truly let go of their worries and reset.

Why they chose this property
Pirates Beach is a well-loved vacation spot in Galveston Island. It's a quick 15-20 minute ride along the beautiful coast into Galveston proper where you can enjoy the awesome history of Galveston, great meals, live music, and fun for the kids at the Pleasure Pier or Moody Gardens.
But the neighborhood itself is great, too. There's ice cream trucks that come by regularly for the kids, great restaurants, and of course, the beach. Golf carts are available with drop off/pick up available right to the house. What more could you ask for?

What makes this property unique
With new renovations, Don't Be Jelly is the perfect balance of style and comfort. Peek-a-boo views of the Gulf can be enjoyed from all three levels, and the kids even have a yard to play corn hole or bocce ball in. The outdoor spaces allow for whole group gatherings, but also plenty of smaller gathering areas for private moments. And no one has to share bathrooms with 3.5 bathrooms.
