We have stayed at different locations here. This stay was one of our favorites, we wished we could have stayed longer! The house was clean, very spacious and such a nice set up. The owners were quick to respond, and the beach was just down the road which was lovely. Definitely recommend this house for a family beach trip!

Plenty of Space to Spread Out

This was our first stay here and we enjoyed it. The rooms are very spacious, the living room offers plenty of seating and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking and serving items. We enjoyed the giant Connect 4 and the cargo lift was a tremendous help. The walk to the beach is closer to 6/7 minutes but it’s a very easy walk. We will most definitely consider staying here again.

AWESOME VACATION!!!

The property was just beautiful and clean. The beds were huge and very comfortable. The kitchen was, man I don't know what to say about that kitchen besides it was great. The huge island, everything you need to cook a gourmet meal or just make spaghetti. The Ivey family was wonderful. Adriann really is the BEST! she answered my questions quickly and no matter what time it was. I loved...loved...loved it

Fabulous Stay

Each one of my family members ranging in ages 10 to 98 could not get over how lovely and pleasant everything was while staying at Pelican’s Perch. The kitchen is truly fully stocked with anything you could need (especially with all of the cabinet and drawer space you will find what you are looking for). The mattresses were very comfortable and everyone had their own tv in their room. The cargo lift was an added bonus and my 98 year old grandmother enjoyed each ride. Thank you again for allowing my family and dogs to use your wonderful beach house. We hope to return.

Fantastic!

I can’t brag enough about Pelican’s Perch! We had the best stay! Great Communication with the property owner started before we even arrived. The location was fabulous, in my opinion. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need. We never had to touch the toilet paper, paper towels, or trash bags we brought. There were a ton of dishwashing and laundry pods available for use and the bathroom cabinets were stocked with stuff we didn’t even know we might need. Our family had so much family with all of the puzzles, board games, card games, etc. included with the rental. Again, I can’t say enough great things about this place. I’m already searching for our next dates to rent Pelican’s Perch! ❤️

Overall a good experience

The beach was close to the house and very easily accessible with a rented golf cart and truck. The house was clean and the air conditioning system worked perfectly. The beds were comfortable. There were only two minor issues. The refrigerator took a day or two to get to a cold temperature after loading it with our items. After day 2, fridge worked fine. The clothes washing machine didn’t work for our stay. The property manager thought the filter needed cleaning to work properly. All that being said, the property owner was extremely responsive and accommodated the inconveniences. I would stay at this house again.

Great for multiple families!

We just returned home and spent Sunday thru Thursday in this home. It was very nicely decorated and everything was newer and well taken care of. We cooked several meals here and the stocked kitchen had everything we needed. Our group was (2) families of 4, and the setup was perfect for us. The beach is a 5 minute walk away and we rented a golf cart to assist in trips back and forth for the bathroom. The downstairs shower was awesome for all of us to rinse off before we headed upstairs. The huge island in the kitchen was perfect for all of us to eat at and also sit around and play games in the evening. The washer & dryer were great for keeping up with the laundry. The fudge and salt water taffy that was waiting for us on our arrival was a HUGE hit. Thanks! Overall, this was our 4th stay at a VRBO. The Ivey Family was very easy to work with, responded quickly, and provided all of the details needed to have a great stay. We would highly recommend this house for those looking to stay in this area.

About the host

Hosted by The Ivey Family

Host profile image
Pelican's Perch is the dream come true for our extended family. Four of us own the property--three born on the island of Galveston, and one New Jersey-born lady who has spent most of her life in Texas. We have children and grandchildren and wanted a place where we could all gather and enjoy precious time together.

Why they chose this property

The simple beauty of the home, the smart use of space, and the fact that it was a four bedroom property were the selling points for us. Across the street from the home is a "buyout" lot--one that cannot be built upon. This open lot increases the feel of spaciousness as you relax on the deck. We hope you will agree that Pelican's Perch is your new home away from home. Come see turtles, blue crabs, pelicans, egrets, and more. Lose your stress as you reconnect with family.

What makes this property unique

We are beachfront quality without the beachfront price. We have paid attention to every small detail to help you enjoy your stay. Pelican's Perch is relaxing inside and out, and will be a perfect family getaway.
