I’m writing this review post one month and after recently renting another home on West Beach for Mother’s Day weekend for the wife and family that had everything you expect. The tale of two rental homes… The reason why I could not and would not rent the Purple Pelican home again for this past weekend was so apparent after being in another home that met every need. First and foremost the house is hot at night in the two bedrooms. The AC was cranked and cool in the den but the rooms have no flow. The ceiling fans are small and don’t help bring in the cool air to the rooms. The noise from cars wizzing down the highway just behind the house is also heard in the two rooms. Not what you expect for a quiet beach get away. Also, when the condenser unit starts there was a loud surging sound, so even if you are able to fall asleep then there’s a good chance you will be awakened. Sleeping was horrible to say the least. The kitchen is as sterile as a home can be. Maybe a salt and pepper shaker, other than that nothing. The pots and pans are not worthy enough to be donated to good will. The Teflon pan with no Teflon. I spent more time scraping out the previous renters stuck on eggs than I did making breakfast. I just don’t understand how owners can’t make a trip to WM or Target and invest a couple hundred dollars into culinary items. After renting a different home in the Pointe West community this past weekend that spared no expense, I felt obliged to go back and review the Purple house.

This was a fantastic place for a quick getaway. I wanted to stay longer. The west end of Galveston is so calm and peaceful. The home is ideally situated (if you like a little distance between the more touristy parts) and has a lovely view. The house is well cared for and makes a wonderful place to stay for a small group (4), couple, or solo traveler.

Cute, quaint, and clean This house is perfect for a small group getaway. Sitting on the porch in the elevated rockers was our favorite part of the day! The kitchen is fabulous as well as functional for a quick breakfast before touring. The addition of a Keurig would be a plus, but we made the coffee maker work for us.

A perfect house for a couple or small family. Seemed like recently remodeled. Very neat, clean & decorated. Retro looking appliances were neat. Great covered large deck with nice rocking chairs. Even though 2nd row there is nothing in front of the house so you have a great ocean view. No obstructions. We will definitely stay here again.Prompt answers by host to any questions we had.

This is a perfect place for a beach fix. Property is exactly as represented on VRBO. Clean, great floor plan, and newly renovated as stated on website is accurate and it looks and feels great. Quick easy access to the beach. The balcony that over looks the beach is huge and has great Adirondack gliders to relax in and soak up the peace of the beach. I will definitely return to this peaceful place.
