Wonderful property! If you are hesitating, don't. This is a great house that is perfect for you to make memories in. My girls loved the bunk beds and we adults loved the convenient location and how every detail had been thought out and accounted for ahead of us.

Such a fantastic review! Thank you so much! Y’all were such great guests—please come back soon!
The house was just as described. Clean and cozy with lots of beds and room for my daughter’s 13th birthday trip! The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of stools for sitting on while eating. We loved the simple beach decor and blue walls. The cargo lift made moving all our bags and food items in quick and easy!

Thank you so much! Glad your daughter had a great time for her very special birthday!
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!

About the host
Hosted by The Ivey Family
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.
