The Blue Pelican

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Gorgeous natural light and sweeping views of West Bay and the surrounding wetlands fill this beautiful, four-bedroom retreat, scenically situated on the shores of Galveston Island.

A lovely home base for even the most discerning guest, this property sits two miles up the road from Sunny Beach (on which cars are allowed). An outdoor shower, a shaded ground-floor patio (perfect for cornhole), three separate decks, and central AC all await your return home from the beach each afternoon.

The main living space is one floor up from the garden level, offering a delightfully open layout with generous windows that let in the sunshine. The kitchen is polished and professional, with stainless steel appliances (including a gas range, a French-door refrigerator, and a wine fridge), a spacious prep island with bar seating, and an adjacent wet bar and laundry room. The airy dining room seats the whole family, while the living room has a chic sectional and a streaming-capable flatscreen cable TV for movie nights.

Each of the four bedrooms has a flatscreen TV and an attached bathroom - one on the main floor and three on the floor above. Three of the bedrooms have direct deck access as well. A bonus fifth sleeping space awaits on the top floor, offering the perfect spot to escape with a good book or watch a movie in peace.

THINGS TO KNOW
There's an outdoor shower for your use.

Nice House need some work for such a beautiful property lots of little things broken. The outdoor furniture needs to be cleaned covered in bird poop was not usable. The concrete down stairs needs to be pressure washed cover in algea very slick when wet. House was clean.

Beautiful wedding getaway

Blue Pelican was the perfect setup for 3 adult couples and our new 6 month grandbaby to spend the week for an upcoming weekend. Bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms were large and comfortable and we all felt as if we had the master suite! Living areas and kitchen spacious and lovely views from every window. Highly recommend

We had a great stay. The house was exactly like the photos and in a great location. It is very scenic around the house but it is near some marshes so there are mosquitos.

The elevator saved us, especially because we traveled with our aging mother who otherwise would have really struggled with all the stairs! Beautiful home, great spot for a family vacation! Thank you Blue Pelican!

A true oasis of elegance!

This home is serene and spectacular! It offers plenty of space, very clean and has all the modern amenities. It sits off the beaten path with beautiful views of the intercoastal waterway yet is just a few minute drive to the beach, popular food and shopping destinations in Galveston. It's a new, beautifully decorated modern home, and will not disappoint. We'd for sure visit again.

Beautiful rental

Our extended family rented this home. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom for privacy. My husband is handicapped and the “inside” elevator was a lifesaver!!! Will remember this place for another trip and highly recommend it to others. Very quiet too.
