This was our second stay at the property and it was just as amazing as the first. The property is in a great location, is very well maintained, and a great option for those with young kids. The hosts were very communicative and made it a really easy process for us.

Our stay at the Purple Pelican was absolutely exceptional!!! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect! Communication with the property owners was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The ocean views were absolutely fabulous, and the property itself was impeccably clean.We were especially impressed by all of the thoughtful extras and amenities. The pantry was stocked with spices, Ziploc bags, foil, plastic wrap, plenty of extra trash bags, and dishwashing soap. There were laundry pods, and the kitchen had every utensil and piece of cookware we could possibly need—including a margarita machine! The beach amenities were just as impressive: plenty of beach towels and chairs, a pop-up tent, beach toys, and even a brand-new beach wagon to make getting everything to the beach so easy.This property truly lacked nothing. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable. We loved it so much that we're already planning to come back again within the next month!We cannot recommend this property highly enough. An exceptional property, exceptional hosts, and an unforgettable stay!

This is our fourth year for staying at this lovely home. When we talk about going back to the beach in Galveston, this is where my family wants to stay and assumes we will stay. The property is well-kept and well-furnished and is a two-minute walk to the beach on a grassy median between other houses in the development. The hosts are responsive and we have never had issues. Highly recommend.

Loved the Purple Pelican. Excellent location! We had a great time even though we went were there was a Sargassum seaweed problem in Galveston. The location to the beach was wonderful - all the bedrooms were so nice and my family had ample room to spread out and relax. We loved the outside seating areas. The kitchen was well stocked and so easy to just buy groceries and cook. We will definitely be back!

The house was fabulous and well equipped. A second toaster with a family of 7 would have been greatly appreciated. The views were spectacular and the short walk to the beach was great. So nice to have the space to stretch out and be comfortable for the whole family. If we are every back in the Galveston beach area, i would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

One of the greatest vacation rentals we've stayed in over the course of 20 years. We were there for our son's graduation from UTMB and the Purple Pelican made for the perfect home base. The beach is right there and you can see the Gulf of America from the beautiful porch. This place exceeded our expectations and is even nicer than the pictures display. Highly recommend.
