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.

THINGS TO KNOW
There's an outdoor shower for your use.

Beautiful wedding getaway

Blue Pelican was the perfect setup for 3 adult couples and our new 6 month grandbaby to spend the week for an upcoming weekend. Bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms were large and comfortable and we all felt as if we had the master suite! Living areas and kitchen spacious and lovely views from every window. Highly recommend

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

We had a problem with doors staying closed during a storm in the middle of the night. Doors flew open with rain pouring in and we had to place the dining table in front of one to keep it closed. It took 4 senior citizen women to keep front door closed and move the table in front of it. We contacted the emergency number that said they would contact host along with a picture of the table placed against door. We also contacted host in the morning with a message and got no response. We understand there was a storm but someone should have checked on us in the morning. Before we arrived the French doors had not been properly locked into door frame. After the storm, this was a problem we had to figure out ourselves. These were two sets of French doors, located in the front and back of home. Very disappointed that host did not response.This is a beautiful place and located not too far from many attractions.
