The owners really put thought into every little detail... even down to the labeling of the light switches and drawers. The front yard is adorable and beautifully manicured. The back screened in porch would be wonderful to use in the cooler months (too hot for us to use at this time of the year).All the beach gear was in good working order and saved us the hassle of having to bring our own. I would stay here again. ##### Monica K.

We loved the 2 bed 2 bath arrangement- plenty of space for 4 of us. Especially enjoyed the screened in back porch, nice landscape & the bicycles. We had planned to bring out dog but were surprised by the extra $150 cleaning fee that seemed a bit excessive. Otherwise, all was well communicated & it was a nice stay. ##### stephanie v.

The home is impeccably clean, comfortable and well furnished with everything you could possibly need. It is truly a home away from home but better. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and less than a 5 minute drive to the beach and Pleasure Pier. We appreciate all of the supplies needed for a visit to the beach taking the stress off of wondering what you need. Communication with the host is exemplary - they are timely, helpful and are there to take care of your needs during your stay.

It's a cute house, tastefully decorated yet very beachy. It was clean and easy to find everything we needed. We appreciated the kitchen that was stocked with not only basic necessities but extras that made our time more enjoyable. The backyard, screened porch and outdoor shower were very nice to have. We look forward to staying here again! We will also look for other A Stay Above the Rest properties because they were easy to work with, kind and responsive. BTW the care taken in the landscaping is a sweet bonus. ##### Zena C.

The Blue Pelican has so much charm. The location is great. 10 min to Schlitterbaun, 10 min to wharf, 10 min to the Strand shopping, 10 min to the beach. Everything we wanted to do was within 2 miles. The house itself is beautifully remodeled and decorated. The kitchen has almost every gadget you could want. The only thing I missed in the kitchen was an electric can opener. There was a hand one, but a little challenging to use. The property manager was very responsive when an issue with a broken beach canopy came up. They were quick to order a replacement. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! We love the Blue Pelican! ##### Dina G.

No detail was left out in welcoming guests to this home, it truly felt like a home away from home. The listing and information is accurate in every way possible. The neighborhood is quiet and well kept. The home is comfortable and spacious. The beds were top of the line and the multiple options for pillows was a pleasant touch. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with every gadget and appliance you may ever need. The outdoor space is stunning. The screened in back porch was wonderful to enjoy coffee on, read a book and simply relax and enjoy the surroundings. We made good use of the bikes which were a lot of fun to ride around the neighborhood on. Communication with property management was top notch. We will most definitely be back. ##### Allison S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc Y. 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home away from home The Blue Pelican is as pristine as it appears in in the listing pics and the attention to detail in the decor and all of the provisions - from books and guides on Galveston to cooking supplies and loads of fresh, fluffy towels - is impressive. The cottage feels more spacious than we expected because of the open concept. And my college age son liked the fact that the secondary bedroom and hall bath can be shut off from the living space with sliding barn doors, making them function like a private suite. The walk-in closet with all kinds of organizing shelves and cubbies in the primary bedroom was an unexpected bonus in this small cottage. It's large enough to function as a small dressing room. We spent time on the front porch, the screen porch in back and in the fully fenced backyard with our little Boston Terrier. And we enjoyed a long ride one day on the complimentary bikes that are stored in the well-organized detached garage. Though the Blue Pelican is just one house down from a drive-through bank and across the street from older apartments, noise was not a problem and we felt entirely safe. And the mid-island location makes it easy to get to everything from the Seawall to the Strand to the historic district and the beautiful Grand Galvez Hotel. The best thing I can say about this rental is that when we go back to Galveston, this is where we plan to stay. ##### Marc Y.

The home is incredibly well appointed from a fully stocked kitchen to bicycles and beach gear in the garage. The screened-in back porch is also a treasure. When guests arrive, everything has been considered for an enjoyable stay. I cannot recommend this property enough. ##### Darin D.
