This beach house was great! Clean and had everything we needed and then some. Will definitely book this house again if we go back to Sea Ilse. Loved how quiet it was, and the proximity to the beach was perfect!

The property was clean and well appointed, great proximity to the beach and outside all the hustle and bustle of Galveston proper. Only downside is that it is a 30 minute drive to get back into the city.

This place has all you need and it’s a perfect beach spot. We loved walking on the beach, seeing the sunset, and listening to the waves. Very comfortable and quiet area. Beach was basically private. I’d ABSOLUTELY stay again!

House was very nice and close to the beach. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our time in Galveston. We enjoyed the private beach area had so much fun! We loved the morning sunrises and evening sun downs on the ocean.

We loved the property and location and quick access to the beach! This was a great experience staying in Sea Isle the first time and would go back in a heartbeat! It’s been so hot in Texas this was a great little break from the heat with the ocean breezes and summer storms. House is very cozy and clean, beds we’re comfortable and the storage for beach gear was great!

The location of this property is excellent! It was clean and well equipped. It's right on the beach so it made venturing out each day super easy. The beach was never crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. The house was just as beautiful as the pictures! We will definitely be booking here again and likely bringing family to stay in a neighboring house.

I needed a little break so decided to take my son and my aunt for a little beach getaway. This place is truly a gem we really loved the fact that it was only a few steps away from the beach. We were able to set everything up and take bathroom/AC breaks whenever we needed to! Looking forward to renting this place again!

The house was great and the location was super close to the beach. 2 min walk and you had toes in the sand. We would absolutely book this house again. Gary Greene kept us updated on everything prior to and the day of arrival .

Had a family “weekend”…. 6 of us all in the house. Perfectly situated for beach fun and other adventures. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen to cook lots of family meals too!

We had a great time and totally relaxed! The Perky Pelican is close enough to Galveston to get there quickly but far enough out to be quiet and private. The house is adorable with its beach theme decorations. It was incredible! Thank u!

The property was absolutely perfect! Great location, everything you need too have an amazing vacation. The house was stocked with all amenities and management was great. You're away from the hustle and bustle but not too far if you want too drive in. There's a cute little grocery store right down the road as well. We would definitely stay again 😊

Had an excellent family vacation here. This house is about 40 steps from the beach. The beach area is secluded from the public. The house was well maintained and seemed to be recently rennovated. Communication with the property managers was great and most of their processes were automated. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful stay at The Perky Pelican.. Could hear the ocean sitting in the house. Neat decor and very clean!!! Walking distance to ocean. We will come again!!! the only thing is sliding screen door needs fixed, it kept coming off the track.

We spent a long weekend at the Perky Pelican with our best friends to celebrate my husbands birthday! This house was better than we could have hoped for! Amazing location, just a few steps from the sand! Beautiful balcony to relax on in the ocean breeze. Comfortable and clean bedrooms and bathrooms! Absolutely perfect vacation beach home and we can’t wait to plan our next trip!

House was cute, great location to beach & neighborhood pool. I felt like there was to much in the kitchen area & no where to store food for 3 grandkids. Getting tv to work w/ alittle bit of a problem, but we made it work for quite time. Overall it was a good 5 day trip.

The Perky Pelican is exactly as advertised. It is the most adorable little beach house, and it is quite possibly the cleanest of any property we’ve vacationed at. We had absolutely everything we needed for a week at the beach with 2 kids. The kitchen has everything needed and then some. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards for spending the day on the beach, which is only steps away. We loved the location which is very quiet but not too far from anything you might need. If we go back to Galveston we will absolutely stay at the Perky Pelican again.

This house was conveniently located on the beach and allowed us to come back and forth to the beach easily with kids. The rooms are what is advertised. We had planned to have an air mattress for kids on the floor and none of the rooms (other than common area) were large enough for an air mattress. We left like we lost days with such a late check in and early checkout. The beach was pretty private. That was nice.
