Great property, would book again!

We were really satisfied with this rental. Great beach access and wonder views of the beach right from the porch. We had no issues at all. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook from the house all week. The living room was cozy and we loved the views.

Pictures don’t do this place justice

This property is beautiful. It’s hard to truly see it in the pictures. Spacious living space with three private bedrooms. The air conditioner worked great I was worried with it being so hot but we were cold at night. Kitchen has all the pots and pans you will need, with plenty plates and cups. Now let’s get to the beach. Few steps from the house very easy to get to. It’s private and gorgeous. This property provides chairs and umbrellas which is a nice touch. We basically had the beach to ourselves. For the money this property is a steal. We definitely will be back. Side note, bring your own spices if you plan on cooking. My family and I are still blown away with this place. It’s in our top 5.

Overall great time

This house was conveniently located on the beach and allowed us to come back and forth to the beach easily with kids. The rooms are what is advertised. We had planned to have an air mattress for kids on the floor and none of the rooms (other than common area) were large enough for an air mattress. We left like we lost days with such a late check in and early checkout. The beach was pretty private. That was nice.

First time in Galveston

The Perky Pelican is exactly as advertised. It is the most adorable little beach house, and it is quite possibly the cleanest of any property we’ve vacationed at. We had absolutely everything we needed for a week at the beach with 2 kids. The kitchen has everything needed and then some. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards for spending the day on the beach, which is only steps away. We loved the location which is very quiet but not too far from anything you might need. If we go back to Galveston we will absolutely stay at the Perky Pelican again.

Steps from the beach!

Had an excellent family vacation here. This house is about 40 steps from the beach. The beach area is secluded from the public. The house was well maintained and seemed to be recently rennovated. Communication with the property managers was great and most of their processes were automated. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderfully secluded gem

This was such a cute place and an almost private beach area. Our walk to the water was very close, just one house away from beach front and in a quiet, beautiful area. The house is so nice!! It has a fully stocked kitchen. you’ will definitely need to bring is towels. They supplied very basic tiny hotel white bath towels , only 4, so you’ll want more bath towels and beach towels. There are a few beach chairs in the storage but you’ll probably want your own. Overall we weee very happy and satisfied with the quality of this house and location. If you like more secluded beaches with much less people then this is the place for you.

Perfect getaway for our family!

The location of this property is excellent! It was clean and well equipped. It's right on the beach so it made venturing out each day super easy. The beach was never crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. The house was just as beautiful as the pictures! We will definitely be booking here again and likely bringing family to stay in a neighboring house.

Wonderful property and location!

We loved the property and location and quick access to the beach! This was a great experience staying in Sea Isle the first time and would go back in a heartbeat! It’s been so hot in Texas this was a great little break from the heat with the ocean breezes and summer storms. House is very cozy and clean, beds we’re comfortable and the storage for beach gear was great!
