Spring break vacation

The place was great. We fished off the dock in the evenings, were conveniently located to groceries and restaurants and were able to drive 5 minutes and park on the beach for some sun and sand. Loved the place.

Nice waterfront retreat!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming home—it was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck overlooking the canal, which offered a peaceful spot to unwind. My boys loved fishing right off the boat dock, adding a special touch to our visit. Kathy, the host, was wonderful and responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. The check-in and check-out process was simple and hassle-free. We highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking to relax and soak in all that Jamaica Beach has to offer.

Great house, great location!

The house was well put together and very “beachy”. They had everything needed for cooking and entertainment. Great location on the water and close to the beach. We would definitely come back to this spot!

Great time!

The house was great. We loved the location, the bay was nice and calm to fish right of the deck. Everything in the house was very thought through and had everything we needed. We for sure would like to go back.

Beautiful home on the bay

We have stayed at many rentals and I have to say this house had everything! The house was beautiful and clean and stocked. It had everything you need in the kitchen and more. The location is great. All the kids enjoyed kayaking and fishing. Would definitely come back.

A little out of the way, but nice

Great property. Super easy to fish and kayak. Easy parking. Plenty of dishes and supplies in the house. The description was pretty spot on as far as how it set up and all amenities. It is a little bit far away from Galveston and things to do. The property manager was a little tricky to get in touch with because she was sick, but we were able to figure it out and get into the house. Over all a good day. Overall, a really good staying there.

Saying goodbye

As the title says"saying goodbye" to a loved one. Travelled from Canada to Galveston to do a burial at sea. Getting to the house was easy from the Houston airport. At the house we were five adults (60+ yrs). It was easy access to the home. First impressions....clean and comfortable decor. I must say that I have stayed at a few VRBO homes through the years and this home was set up "beyond" excellent for the kitchen. We we able to cook daily without any "do they have this" comments. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a bathroom for each couple plus one singleton. The added basement suite with bath and lower deck allowed everyone their space and solitude if needed. The decks were clean and the furniture was solid and didn't wobble. We were able to enjoy our morning javas outside with the warm wind. A lovely way to start the day especially with the weather we had been experiencing up north. If I was going to give a negative comment it would only be that the upper entrance door 'sticks' a little when opening/closing it and the ice maker froze up with a big hunk that we cleared out....thats it! Would love to return another time and stay longer.

Great place

This is the third house we have rented from Kathy. She is a great host and her houses are top notch. This place is clean and looks as though was very recently remodeled. There are 2 in water dock lights that kept the trout and reds there all night!

Wonderful, cozy, super clean house!

My husband, me and our two kids (7 and 9) had a wonderful long weekend at The Southwest Pelican. The house is very comfortable, tasteful decorated and we felt right at home. Loved all the high quality furniture (outdoor chairs are sturdy and mattresses and pillows are very comfy!). Location is perfect! Our boys loooved fishing off the dock and using the kayaks to paddle around the canal. Closest beach is accessible by car and only a few minutes away. Loved the quiet mornings drinking coffee on the porch. The house is so well stocked! We cooked our own meals every night (the kids preferred this, so they could fish while we would cook, in stead of sitting in a restaurant ;)) and all amenities are there! Would love to come back one day!

Great house for small family.

We enjoyed our stay 4 adults and a 13 & 9 year old plus fur baby. The only thing the canal had a bad odor so we couldn't enjoy the kayak's. Wish the boat didn't block our lower level view of the canal but didn't spend any time down there. Over all had a nice quit time. Thank you, Kathy! Let us know if you have other properties but on the beach side for next visit. 😉

Beautiful and cozy home

We have stayed in many rental properties in various locations but this was our first time in Galveston. This was a beautiful and comfortable home. It was absolutely immaculate and well taken care of. We did not have the best luck with weather during our stay, but when it was nice out the deck was spectacular! Thank you!
