The Purple Pelican has all you need including a washer & dryer, 4 TV's, fully equipped kitchen, wifi, cable, 2 pools, a playground, zero carpet & keyless, contactless entry.

The Purple Pelican has 1200 plus square feet, with a private breezeway outside the front door enclosed w/two gates so you can leave your belongings there. Two reserved parking spots right in front of the unit, open feel, 3 bedrooms (w/one king & 2 queen sized beds) & 3 full baths (two in rooms, one in hallway (shower 1, shower 2, bath tub 3) as well as a twin bunk bed in hallway w/privacy curtains.

Our private breezeway has an outdoor shower to clean yourself & your stuff off! It's also big enough to keep your kayak, fishing poles, beach toys and bikes outside to dry! There are also 4 chairs to hang out on, take advantage of the outdoor lights by just plugging them in for an amazing ambiance!

Other things to note
Besides the two reserved spots in front of the Purple Pelican there is also overflow parking throughout the complex. You can be ticketed if you cross Hwy 361 on a golf cart. The Purple Pelican is pet free, if you bring a pet your reservation will be cancelled.

The best weather source for anybody to use is nhc noaa gov for tropical-related storm information. This government agency
is not in the media business and will not sensationalize the situation as Social Media and News outlets tend to do.

The Purple Pelican is not in the weather prediction business and as we all know these situations are always very fluid and changes happen.

Unless there is a call for a mandatory evacuation of the city of Port Aransas or Mustang Island it is business as usual.

We always suggest that guests purchase trip insurance to protect their investment from potential interruptions.

We love the purple pelican!

This was our second year staying at the purple pelican and will not be our last! Everything about this condo is perfect, from the location, size, and pools. It stayed nice and cool inside, kitchen was fully stocked with anything you might forget plus a nice size washer/dryer. Thank you again Kristin for hosting! We can’t wait to book again next year!

Beautiful Beach House

What a great family vacation! The house was immaculate, beds comfortable, kitchen well stocked and a/c cooled the whole house for a comfortable nights sleep in extremely hot Texas weather. You can tell a lot of love went into this home. Plenty of parking, clean complex grounds and wonderful pools for the kids to play. We grilled one night right by the pool and enjoyed the late night swim. Can't say enough great things-would definitely stay again!

False advertising of condition of unit.

Several issues were conveyed to the owner upon arrival. She did promptly respond but nothing resolved. The unit was very dirty. The freezer section of the refrigerator had black mold and dirt in it which we cleaned prior to using. The floors were very dirty. It was obvious they had not been mopped. I offered to mop but no mop available. Upon getting ready for bed about 10 pm one bed had dirty sheets full of hair and fresh stains. The bed had been made without changing the sheets!!! I contacted the owner and was told fresh queen size sheets were available. There were no sheets available except one twin fitted sheet. Therefore we had to wash and dry the dirty sheets at 10pm. It was midnight before the laundry was complete and bed made. No apologies were made. The owner informed us her cleaner had a death in the family and she allowed her to not perform the cleaning duties. What? She should have found someone else to clean. We paid a cleaning fee. We have stayed in multiple vrbo properties and have never experienced such indifference in a property owner. This property is not as advertised and extremely disappointing. Dirty sheets are a health hazard

Great time had by all!

We enjoyed are yearly family vacation at the Purple Pelican. It was roomy enough for 5 children ( ages 1-11) and 5 adults. The pack n play and child cot came in handy. The 3 bathrooms really came in handy. Love the large covered patio/breeze way. Kristin was quick to respond to our concerns. Great stay!
