6 adult women stayed from a Thurs - Sun. Everything is as listed. We had plenty of room for sleeping and bathrooms, etc. This is a beautiful house. Pantry was stocked with all of the essentials. Mosquito’s were terrible outside but the owner left bug spray on the porches to be used. We wished they had a sidewalk from the house to the beach in the grassy area between the different buildings. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

This home is fabulous and very well appointed. Getting to the beach was difficult because the grass was high and hadnt been mowed. We got eaten alive by bugs and mosquitoes. This is a HOA problem that should be addressed.

Our entire family, including our grown kids and grandchildren, thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The owners included little amenities which were very thoughtful. The house is spacious, in a beautiful neighborhood, a quick and easy walk to the beach, and close to the city of Galveston for quick shopping trips. I would highly recommend this home!

We had such a great experience last year we came back again! The house is gorgeous, high-end, well-appointed. We also love the green space and the easy access to the beach. It’s by far the best rental I’ve ever stayed at - a true 5 star, 10 out of 10.

The purple pelican is a wonderful beach house in what must be the nicest neighborhood on the island. You really can’t beat the location - it’s steps from the beach and close to the strand. Billy is very responsive and accommodating, and also sent a fantastic list of activities, recommendations and resources. Would definitely rent again!
