Pelican's Nest! Sleeps 5, Dog Friendly, Quick Walk to Beach

Stay at Pelican's Nest! Overlooking the pool!
Relax at this 1BR/1BA Maravilla condo. A quick walk to the beach! Pet Friendly, Sleeps 5

The property has wonderful amenities to discover and enjoy while staying at Pelican's Nest! Accessible balcony overlooking the pool. Beautifully updated kitchen with granite counters, full size stainless appliances and breakfast bar. Fully stocked for nights you want to dine in or bring home the Catch of the Day. Remodeled master bath with custom walk-in tile shower. Relax in the private bedroom with comfy bed. When you are ready to enjoy the outdoors there are three pools (one of which is heated), a hot tub, poolside grills, picnic tables, chaise loungers and poolside seating...as well as a volleyball area...all in a relaxing tropical setting.

Galveston is an amazing and fun community! There are so many different things to do and see...there truly is something for everyone. Within walking distance, you'll find go-carts, miniature golf, fishing, dining at Jimmy's on the Pier, batting cages, and our local movie theater. Moody Gardens Golf Course is located nearby, as is the entire Moody Gardens experience and our world-famous waterpark, Schlitterbahn. In town, enjoy one of many fabulous restaurants that offer everything from fine dining to international cuisine to some of the best burgers around. If shopping is your thing, visit The Strand and Post Office where quaint shops and art galleries abound. You won't want to miss Mod Coffeehouse or Hey, Mikey's Ice Cream! The Grand 1894 Opera House offers some of the best entertainment and shows in Texas, featuring headliners from across the country, as well as a historic setting for live theatre. And, we love our festivals and special events here in Galveston! Mardi Gras, Lone Star Biker Rally, Dickens on the Strand, and the numerous triathlons, marathons and walk-a-thons are popular events throughout the year. Bird watching, kayaking, and fishing of all kinds round out the many outdoor activities enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike.

Great Stay

We had a great stay. Our lock code didn’t work when we got there, but the property manager was easy to contact and she gave us an alternative code to get in. She was honest about the internet not always working and gave us the ability to connect to another network. Close to everything and easy to get to!

AMAZING CONDO!!!

Pelican Place II is a beautiful, clean, updated, PERFECT condo for a small family who wants to enjoy everything Galveston has to offer! The location is minutes from the waterpark, tons of great restaurants & a 2 minute walk to the beach. The balcony overlooks the amazing pool, which was so relaxing. The pool was so nice b/c it was never over crowded & they allow kids to bring their pool toys & floats. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this condo & the host was so helpful & easy to contact! One of our best VRBO experiences ever!! Thanks Michelle!!

Good with a few hiccups

Condo faced the pool. Accommodations were nice. Microwave did not work TV - not good apparently the bill needed to be paid to direct Tv Since there were just 2 adults these issues were not that big, but could have been if you had kids.

Maravilla Pelican Place II

Rental process was fairly easy. Only real issue was with the Couch sleeper mattress that needs to be replaced as very thin/worn and not comfortable. Couch needs to be cleaned as very dirty with visual stains. Parking spots are very tight and limited. Pools were great and happy to be able to use balcony!

Close to Galveston attractions

We enjoyed our stay at the Maravilla condo. The one bedroom (with additional built-in bed and fold-out couch) was adequate for our family of four, especially since we weren’t there very much during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and useful appliances. We also liked the swimming pools on-site. A few minor things - the luggage carts are getting worn, and the elevator was unpredictable. The only light in the bedroom is the overhead light, which is quite bright when reading at night. Though space is tight, a skinny lamp or wall mounted lights by bed would be a welcome addition.

The condo was just as we expected. The couch really does need updating. The microwave never worked. They sent someone out to try to fix it but they couldn’t so we had to try to warm everything up in the oven, kinda disappointing. The linens were very clean. The property grounds on the other hand was disappointing. The elevator rarely worked. The trash bins were over flowing and rodents were present and visible on the property. They are dog friendly but in only very limited area’s.

This Condo was wonderful, beautiful and we would stay here again. Only problem was the people above us sounded like their were moving furniture all night and day. Also people above were dropping trash, beer cans, food, and toys down onto our balcony. This condo is in a good location at the resort.
