Other things to note:
Besides the two reserved spots in front of the Purple Pelican there is also overflow parking throughout the complex. You can be ticketed if you cross Hwy 361 on a golf cart. The Purple Pelican is pet free, if you bring a pet your reservation will be cancelled.

The best weather source for anybody to use is nhc noaa gov for tropical-related storm information. This government agency
is not in the media business and will not sensationalize the situation as Social Media and News outlets tend to do.

The Purple Pelican is not in the weather prediction business and as we all know these situations are always very fluid and changes happen.

Unless there is a call for a mandatory evacuation of the city of Port Aransas or Mustang Island it is business as usual.

We always suggest that guests purchase trip insurance to protect their investment from potential interruptions.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

False advertising of condition of unit.

Several issues were conveyed to the owner upon arrival. She did promptly respond but nothing resolved. The unit was very dirty. The freezer section of the refrigerator had black mold and dirt in it which we cleaned prior to using. The floors were very dirty. It was obvious they had not been mopped. I offered to mop but no mop available. Upon getting ready for bed about 10 pm one bed had dirty sheets full of hair and fresh stains. The bed had been made without changing the sheets!!! I contacted the owner and was told fresh queen size sheets were available. There were no sheets available except one twin fitted sheet. Therefore we had to wash and dry the dirty sheets at 10pm. It was midnight before the laundry was complete and bed made. No apologies were made. The owner informed us her cleaner had a death in the family and she allowed her to not perform the cleaning duties. What? She should have found someone else to clean. We paid a cleaning fee. We have stayed in multiple vrbo properties and have never experienced such indifference in a property owner. This property is not as advertised and extremely disappointing. Dirty sheets are a health hazard

Great time had by all!

We enjoyed are yearly family vacation at the Purple Pelican. It was roomy enough for 5 children ( ages 1-11) and 5 adults. The pack n play and child cot came in handy. The 3 bathrooms really came in handy. Love the large covered patio/breeze way. Kristin was quick to respond to our concerns. Great stay!

This was our second year staying at the purple pelican and will not be our last! Everything about this condo is perfect, from the location, size, and pools. It stayed nice and cool inside, kitchen was fully stocked with anything you might forget plus a nice size washer/dryer. Thank you again Kristin for hosting! We can’t wait to book again next year!

I stayed during Sandfest this year, and the property only got 4 stars for location just because it can be tricky when there is that much traffic. However, very very manageable. The property is quiet and clean, and the beds comfortable
