About this property
Charming beach house/ Canal living/Grills/kayaks!
Enjoy this absolutely gorgeous canal home in Jamaica Beach, offering wonderful views. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and an outdoor shower, this cozy home will leave you and your guests wanting more and wishing you stayed longer. You will love spending time here making memories that will last a lifetime.
Enjoy cool, refreshing cocktails while taking in the views at one of the many outdoor seating areas. Whether you are upstairs or down, you will have an opportunity to grill burgers or the fresh catch of the day on either of the two Paradise grills—one on each level. In the evening, use the green underwater light to watch your own personal aquarium or catch fish while night fishing. There are two kayaks for your enjoyment. This is one of our guests' favorite activities while at the beach house. Cruise the canals, enjoy bird watching or enjoy day fishing in the kayak. The boat slip is not available for use, but you can bring your own boat and tie it off on the bulkhead.
The beautiful updates are eye-catching and stunning. The open floor plan offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two bedrooms are on the upstairs and main living level. The third bedroom is on the ground floor with separate access. The eye-catching upgraded kitchen is adorned with stainless steel appliances, gorgeous granite counters, and new cabinets. Pendant lights hang above the counter space that can be used for dining or as a nice workspace. The dining table is adjacent and offers space to enjoy a meal, play games, or take in the view from indoors. All of the furniture is new, including the mattresses. The home has new laminate wood floors throughout. The welcoming home offers vaulted wood beam ceilings which create a cozy escape. The plantation shutters are a bonus. The main bedroom with a king-size bed has a brand new, breathtaking ensuite with a walk-in shower offering a spa-like feel with Bluetooth available for relaxing lighting and streaming music. The cozy second bedroom has a full-size bed with a twin trundle, and two swivel chairs to help you decompress while reading a book. The main level bath offers a stone-lined shower and beautiful decor. There is also a queen-size pull-out sofa. On the ground floor, there is another bedroom with a bathroom and shower. It has a queen bed, coffee bar, and seating area. This room is accessed separately from the main house.
Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Moody Gardens are a short ten-minute drive away. They are always a favorite for visitors. The historic Strand District is a great place to visit as well. With its many souvenir and boutique shops, along with wonderful dining, you will truly enjoy a day trip to town.
This magical home is the perfect getaway for you to spend quality time with friends and family. Be one of the lucky first guests to enjoy this treasure in Jamaica Beach.

We had an amazing week! The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The home had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing vacation, and we truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jamaica Beach/Galveston!
The house was great. Very clean and updated, good communication with host. We had 3 adults and 3 kids and it was perfect for the 6 of us.
Just a 2 minute drive to the beach (you can drive your car in beach).
Would stay again!
The house was so clean from top to bottom. Everything was very well keptand organized. It had everything that we needed to cook with and more. Kathy , the host was very helpful and answered all our questions quickly. We would definitely come back!!!
Ver clean. Great amenities. We had everything on site that we needed.

Super relaxing stay in comfortabele, bright and clean Southwest Pelican.
Our 2nd stay at The Southwest Pelican and again we have loved our stay. It’s super clean, bright and fresh and super well stocked. We stayed with our 2 kids (8 and 9) and they love the fishing on the lower deck. Will definitively book again for our next stay.

Best of Both: Fishing & Beach
The epitome of what a great host represents. The house is beautiful and stocked with everything you could think of. Cleanliness 10/10 and right off the canal for fishing or kayaking. The beach is less than 5 minutes from the house so you get the best of both; Fishing and beach. We used the BBQ Pit for burgers and hotdogs and it worked wonderfully. The kids absolutely loved it. We most definitely will be back. Thank you for the great hospitality!
We loved this place! Seems newly remodeled, very clean, well appointed and thoughtful. Kayaks were in great condition and so much fun. We will be back!
Absolutely precious home! We enjoyed our quick New Years stay at this home. Probably the most well stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. They didn’t miss a single detail on things you may need during your stay. We loved that there was a full room/bath down stairs for a little more privacy. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, sitting on the large upstairs outdoor patio and being able to bring our own boat. Hoping to return to this rental soon.
We had a wonderful stay and the amenities made it feel just like home! The kayaks were fun as well as the well stocked board games.

Great place
This is the third house we have rented from Kathy. She is a great host and her houses are top notch. This place is clean and looks as though was very recently remodeled. There are 2 in water dock lights that kept the trout and reds there all night!
The place was great. We fished off the dock in the evenings, were conveniently located to groceries and restaurants and were able to drive 5 minutes and park on the beach for some sun and sand. Loved the place.
