Purple Pelican Praises!

Our family of 10 (age range from 15-76) had a wonderful stay at the Purple Pelican! It was even better than the online pictures-the landscaping is so nice and well cared for, the exterior of the home is impressive and the interior decor is so tastefully done with a classy beach theme. The home was extremely clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable and it was so nice having a bathroom for every bedroom! The owners provided everything we needed to take to the beach including toys, chairs, a wagon and a canopy. The ocean views from the decks were great! We have stayed at many beach homes in Galveston but we all agreed that the Purple Pelican was exceptional!!

the most beautiful short term rental ever!

This home is absolutely the best short termrental, by far, that we have ever rented. If I could have given it 10 stars, i would have. Every roomincluded a tv and the full stocked kitchen was very impressive with its beautiful pots & pans! The home was immaculate upon arrival & check-in was super easy. We enjoyed sunset views as well as beach views from the home. The balconies, porch swing & a small swing downstairs were such a treat. The owners supplied us with everything from multiple coffee machines including the coffee/creamer, makeup remover, toothpaste, more than enough beach towels, kitchen utensils, pots and pans and even a diffuser blow dryer! it took me 4 minutes to walk to the private beach and we all felt very safe! We did not want to leave as every moment that passed we fell more in love with this beautiful home! We will be back!
