This was a 5 star VRBO all the way around. We loved the layout of the house including the open kitchen/living room, the front porch and screened back porch. We also really enjoyed all of the kitchen appliances/gadgets, the recreational equipment made available to us, and the bbq grill. The location was super convenient for getting to the beach or going out to eat or sightsee. The house and yard were also great for for our dog as she had plenty of space. The host was always quick to respond if we had any questions. We will definitely stay here again.

The Blue Pelican is by far one of the best vacation rentals we have ever experienced. 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.

This is one of the best equipped vrbos we've ever visited. The host thought of everything from kitchen needs to books and games. Decorated like a nice home not a motel room like many other sites. Highly recommend and will visit again

Love the Blue Pelican, my second time staying here and it was just as beautiful as the first time! Beautiful decorated, great amenities, very clean and a quiet neighborhood. My favorite feature is screened-in back porch, great to sit and read with a nice glass of wine! Will definitely stay again in the future.

Restful Stay at an Incredible Property

The Blue Pelican is charming and well thought out for every detail for a relaxing stay in Galveston. The central location helped with the quiet while still being easily accessible to the beach and all the venues we wanted to see. My toddler loved it, too!

We stayed here for a quick getaway for our 2 year wedding anniversary. It was nice and peaceful, loved the back screened in porch to sit on in the evenings! The bikes were a great plus to cruise around on. It’s nice and close to the beach as well :) we would definitely stay here again!

Galveston Visit

Stayed a week, and this was a very comfortable beautifully renovated cottage. Fully stocked with everything you might need and the screened in back porch was a lovely spot to drink morning coffee. The fenced front and back gardens were perfect for our two small dogs. The Galveston seawall was a short drive for our morning walk.
