The Terramar Beach Community is one of Galveston Islands best kept secrets, located on Galveston's far West-End the subdivision has something to offer everyone. Pelican Landing is located just a few blocks and a very short walk to the beach, Terramar is a Golf-Cart friendly community with easy golf-cart parking (or car) right on the beach. Golf cart rentals are available for very reasonable daily and weekly rates (we would love to help set up a golf cart rental for you, just ask us.). Although there is a parking area on the beach vehicles are prohibited from driving past the designated parking area which makes Terramar Beach ideal for families. The subdivision also offers a community swimming pool (open seasonally) and a marina with a boat ramp and fishing area available for our guest to use. West-End Marina Restaurant is a quick golf-cart ride away and offers delicious food and drinks and entertainment opportunities year round.

Terramar Beach is a Golf Cart Friendly Community, the beach is a quick 1 minute golf cart ride from the house. Let us know if you would like help renting a golf cart for your stay, there are companies that will drop a golf cart off to you.

Pelican Landing is NOT SUITABLE FOR PARTIES OR LARGE GATHERINGS. This is a family friendly home and subdivision.

We have a 5 night minimum June-August, and 3 night minimum during other times of the year.

Last minute reservations will not be accepted.

The house is awesome, had everything we needed. Only draw back was the absence of the fire pit. It was close to beach and pool, yard was awesome. My dog loved the porch swing. Would definitely recommend and will stay there again.

Great house!

Everything about this house was lovely! The house wa la very comfortable for our family and pups, and was so clean! The location is prime, and enjoying meals outside while watching the waves made it a very peaceful stay. The neighborhood is also perfect. Large lots gives everyone space and was really quiet, even during a busy holiday weekend. The host was great with communicating and accommodating my families needs. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Family vacation

It was fun. The weather was a little rough so we didn’t get to go to the beach as much as we wanted. But just hanging out at the house was fun for all of us to hang out together. We rented a golf cart and that was fun as well.

This home was perfect for our stay and exactly what we didn’t know we needed! It’s a little farther from major grocery stores than we anticipated but it almost forced us to slow down and relax. The owners were very responsive and quick to respond.

Family vacation

The house was beautiful and very well kept! We had everything we needed including beach chairs, towels and beach toys for our little one. We loved the deck and sitting outside with our morning coffee or evenings relaxing with the view and sound of the ocean waves. Loved the table outside for evening family meals. We also loved how close the beach was to the house! Our three pups loved the fenced yard and had plenty of room for them to run around and play. We are definitely going to book another stay here for future family vacations!!

Perfect vacation home

This was the perfect house for four families to spend a week together. Two grandparents, three children, two spouses and four grand boys along with all the bedtimes, waking and feeding that goes along with and we had a blast. We had everything we needed in the house and got a golf cart for beach trips. Definitely recommended.

Spring Break 2022

This home is beautiful, it just needs cleaned properly between guests. The fridge was dirty, there was a hair tie on the floor in the bathroom when we arrived and it was very dusty. Our family owns 3 VRBO rentals and we know what families expect when they arrive at such a beautiful home. We loved the location. The beach is ideal for looking for seashells after a good storm. The kids loved the bunk room.

BEST. BEACH. VACATION. EVER.

Pelican's Landing was our best vacation ever. The home was even better than advertised. There were so many amennities that we had never been offered before. The pack & play and high chair was so thoughtful. The home was clean and very well stocked. If I had a beach home, I'd decorate it just the way Lisa did! It was an easy walk to the beach . Lisa was so nice and easy to work with. We will be back next summer and many more years to come.

What an amazing experience! We had such a great stay. Everything was great from the moment I booked the rental all the way till the end of our stay. The owner answered every question promptly. She was easy to work with and was willing to help. The beginning of our stay was such an easy transaction. We fell in love with the location right away. The house was clean, amazing and just as pictured. The kitchen is gorgeous. We loved all the furnishings. The location was great. 9 minuye walk to the beach. 5 mins walk to the pool/marina.
