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

Fun Getaway

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.

Great, quiet, clean house, very centrally located

We had a very relaxing time at the Blue Pelican house. The neighborhood was quiet, it was close to the beach and restaurants. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Great HVAC (temperature control). Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and baking. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

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.

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!

Enjoyed our stay

The house itself was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. I was concerned about the location. We could smell a young man smoking pot in the apartment in the ally behind us. The drive way is so steep that I would hit the front of my truck on the pavement when backing out. It was hard backing out with cars parked across the street from us. The walk in shower needs a handle to get in and out for us old people. We loved the house and it was very nice ! Thank you !

Cute place for a getaway!

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!
