Stunning home with big bay views, 3 decks, en suites & AC - near Sunny Beach

The Blue Pelican

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Gorgeous natural light and sweeping views of West Bay and the surrounding wetlands fill this beautiful, four-bedroom retreat, scenically situated on the shores of Galveston Island.

A lovely home base for even the most discerning guest, this property sits two miles up the road from Sunny Beach (on which cars are allowed). An outdoor shower, a shaded ground-floor patio (perfect for cornhole), three separate decks, and central AC all await your return home from the beach each afternoon.

The main living space is one floor up from the garden level, offering a delightfully open layout with generous windows that let in the sunshine. The kitchen is polished and professional, with stainless steel appliances (including a gas range, a French-door refrigerator, and a wine fridge), a spacious prep island with bar seating, and an adjacent wet bar and laundry room. The airy dining room seats the whole family, while the living room has a chic sectional and a streaming-capable flatscreen cable TV for movie nights.

Each of the four bedrooms has a flatscreen TV and an attached bathroom - one on the main floor and three on the floor above. Three of the bedrooms have direct deck access as well. A bonus fifth sleeping space awaits on the top floor, offering the perfect spot to escape with a good book or watch a movie in peace.

There's an outdoor shower for your use.

Beautiful Place, With Some Maintenance Issues
Amazing home, with outstanding decor and amenities; however, we experienced several maintenance issues which impacted our stay. The most important was the elevator didn't work and this was one of the primary reasons we chose this place (age related guests). Its location is on the southern part of Galveston Island and about 15 to 25 minutes from major restaurants and attractions. Fairly close to the beach and quite peaceful setting. Be prepared for mosquito's.

Fantastic Home
This home is a large, high-end home property with amazing bay views. It's filled with tasteful furnishings, high-end appliances, fully stocked kitchen, and a lot of gear. It has great, large TVs and high-speed internet in everyone. All the living areas and bedrooms have plenty of space and storage. We had an amazing time.

Galveston - Family Gathering
The property and location worked well for us. Nine senior citizens ... no problem. The elevator was a key feature in our decision making. We were not disappointed.

A true oasis of elegance!
This home is serene and spectacular! It offers plenty of space, very clean and has all the modern amenities. It sits off the beaten path with beautiful views of the intercoastal waterway yet is just a few minute drive to the beach, popular food and shopping destinations in Galveston. It's a new, beautifully decorated modern home, and will not disappoint. We'd for sure visit again.

Great house!
We had a great stay. The house was exactly like the photos and in a great location. It is very scenic around the house but it is near some marshes so there are mosquitos.

Beautiful home, and great location.
We loved this house! The location was perfect. It was about a 5 minute drive to the beach and just far enough down a quiet road to feel like you were so far away. My favorite thing about the home was that pretty much each room was as like a master suite. All the bedrooms had king size beds with their own bathroom which was perfect. And the other bed room had a total 6 beds with its own bathroom which was perfect for all the boys to be able to hang out in the same room. It was also a great location for our kids to fish, walking distant from the house. I would definitely stay here and again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area.

Relaxing family vacation.
The elevator saved us, especially because we traveled with our aging mother who otherwise would have really struggled with all the stairs! Beautiful home, great spot for a family vacation! Thank you Blue Pelican!

5 Plus Stars
We absolutely loved this house. We come to galveston several times a year and this is one of the best houses we've rented. We enjoyed having our local family visit and the space was perfect for us to spend that time together. Elevator is a life saver. Beds were so comfortable and the peacefulness of the deck during sunrise and sunset is worth every penny. We will be staying here again in the near future!

Business Trip - Galveston Bay House
I booked this place for a business trip as we were down here for a conference along with some work events. The house was perfect as it was huge and spacious with a really cool elevator that made it very convenient. Nice sunset views of the bay when it wasn't foggy and is located close to Moody Gardens and restaurants. Three of my work colleagues and my wife stayed in the house as everyone had a great comfortable time. The AC can get downright cold in the house which was perfect for us guys that are usually hot all the time. Wish I could have been there for personal vacation, but we will just have to book it again sometime. Definitely recommend this place!

Loved This Beach House
This house is at the top of our list as one of the most memorable family gatherings to celebrate Thanksgiving. We loved the openness. The kitchen is an absolute beauty extending into the laundry and pantry area. The elevator was a godsend. I can speak to every room in the house rating each one five stars. We loved it and will return again in the near future.

Beautiful rental
Our extended family rented this home. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom for privacy. My husband is handicapped and the “inside” elevator was a lifesaver!!! Will remember this place for another trip and highly recommend it to others. Very quiet too.

Great space and Decor but some frustrations
The house is rather isolated and about 1.5 miles from the beach. The house was very clean and nicely appointed but the house had many misses and became a bit of a family joke. The door was EXTREMELY difficult to open, the sink handle kept falling off, there were no curtains or window coverings in several bedrooms, the oar fell off the wall in the loft (when no one was there) because it was hung with a small picture hook and there was no toilet paper holder in the master bathroom.

Great property but bad property management
The property itself is great. All 8 of us loved the house and location. There is a learning curve with using the dishwasher, microwave, elevator and lights/ceiling fans, no instruction manuals to be found. An instruction sheet would have gone a long way decreasing the frustration level. We put in numerous calls to report issues and talked to the representative who stated that they were not familar with the property and the local representative would call. They never did even after numerous attempts describing issues. Some of the issues were small like the toilet paper holder in the master bathroom was not installed. It was in the linen closet just awaiting installation. The ceiling fan and light in the main area would not function. The elevator was difficult to figure out the correct sequence of events to operate, once again, a note on how to operate would have been nice. The reason that this was a big deal is that we had a guest with mobility issues and we picked this property based on having an elevator. The key to the downstairs elevator door was nowhere to be found which means anyone could access the property when all the other doors were locked. To top it off the hot water heater stopped functioning the day before we left so no hot showers. So overall a great time was had by all but it would have been a 5 star all the way with better property management.

Wonderful Experience
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Pelican so much. The location was great on the bay side of the island, about 6-8 minutes from town and secluded enough to not worry with a lot of noise. The house is just beautiful with all the amenities anyone would need. One suggestion of needing a toilet paper holder in the downstairs bedroom's en suite and a short instruction of the elevator. We were only 2 couples as one couple could not come at the last minute. We wish we could have shared it with several others. We will definitely be back again as we enjoyed the things we did in Galveston, but there is so much more to see and do.

Beautiful Home!
Really enjoyed our stay at the house...very beautifully decorated. We couldn't have been more comfortable. Everything we needed was available. Shops and beach only minutes away. High end appliances was definitely a plus and the beds were sooo comfy. Definitely will book again. Just be sure to bring bug spray...mosquitos are vicious at night. Wonderful time spent here!

Girl’s Weekend
Beautiful & clean; quiet location with awesome views. Nicely appointed, had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. We had several issues with the elevator. I would suggest that someone check the locking mechanism on ground floor door of the elevator. The elevator locking mechanism doesn’t always engage and must be checked each time it’s closed to be sure that it has locked before leaving the property. One time it locked us out of the elevator and another time we left, having shut the door and tested the lock only to return and find the elevator door was not locked.
