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.

Best neighborhood in Galveston

The purple pelican is a wonderful beach house in what must be the nicest neighborhood on the island. You really can’t beat the location - it’s steps from the beach and close to the strand. Billy is very responsive and accommodating, and also sent a fantastic list of activities, recommendations and resources. Would definitely rent again!
