Two Blocks from Beach; Close to Pleasure Pier; Pet Friendly

Our house named, The Pelican Cove, is 2 blocks from the beach / Seawall in Galveston, TX. A cozy home perfect for families with children and/or pets, girls getaways, fishing trips, trips for Mardi Gras, Lone Star Rally, and more! Less than a mile away from Pleasure Pier (think Santa Monica pier, Coney Island), nearby restaurants, stores, etc.

The house includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a kitchen and living area, everything is in tile. Fits six people comfortably, completely kid friendly and pet friendly (small animals allowed, must be house trained, no fleas or ticks, medium/large sized animals are allowed but will have a fee). We have Wi-Fi available that is automatically connected to our Vizio Smart TVs so you can access Netflix, Hulu, and other apps.

The living area is long, it extends from right when you enter the house to the kitchen (see picture). There is a couch directly in front of the 50" Smart 4K TV which has HD quality channels available for viewing. Nothing you want to watch on TV? No problem! We have a DVD player with a DVD library with lots of DVDs for you to choose from! Still nothing? Well, how about access to Netflix? That's right. With our Smart TV you can access Netflix, YouTube, play music from Pandora, etc. You can even log in with your Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney + account. We do have access to some streaming subscriptions, we just ask you to please use "The Pelican Cove" account!

Room description:
The first bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a sofa, also has a dresser with a mirror, closet to hang clothes, etc.

The second bedroom has two twin-sized beds on both sides of the room, in the middle there is a huge rug and a nightstand, also included with a closet and a dresser with a mirror. An extra mattress is available and can be laid down on the rug (please use sheets before laying it on the floor if there isn't one already placed on it).

The master bedroom has one king-sized bed with a dresser, also with a mirror, and another dresser that has linen available. Has closet, and it's own bathroom. It also has its own private 40" TV with a Blu-Ray player.

Both bathrooms include the usual, toilet, shower, sink with mirror. Towels will be included. Note: No beach towels will be provided. Please do NOT take towels to the beach.

The kitchen will be fully equipped for your stay, it includes a microwave, stove, refrigerator, coffee machine w/ coffee available (we have 2; Keurig and regular coffee maker), blender, toaster, and cooking utensils will be provided.

The backyard:
The Pelican Cove has a deck including BBQ grill (coal-powered) and outdoor furniture, it's private, fenced off and covered. We do include basic grilling utensils.

Pets:
We are animal people too, so you may keep your pet but we've had experience with tenants bringing large animals that caused problems, so small animals will be allowed. The pet(s) must be house trained, medium/large pets will be considered but will be charged a fee! Please let us know how many pets will be staying, 1-2 are okay but anymore than that we will have to consider.

The Pelican Cove, your home away from home. Treat it as your own!

We live about 30 minutes away from Galveston so if any problems arise we'll come as soon as possible. Just give us a phone call or send us a message.

Close to the beach but far enough away to be peaceful & pet friendly!

This was PERFECT for our family vacation! Exactly as described in the listing. Completely pet friendly with the fenced front and back yards. The yards are a bit small, but they were perfect for our 2 beagles. Would definitely stay here again!

Such a cute place!!!

First of all, the pictures do not do this place justice! My best friend and I brought our dog and 5 (total) kids ranging in age from 14 to 7, and we had a blast!! The house is in a great location, the neighborhood is very nice and well kept. The house does have a smaller living room, but the shotgun style makes it feel bigger. The beds were comfortable, and it was super clean. We would definitely rent this property again!
