One of the greatest vacation rentals we've stayed in over the course of 20 years. We were there for our son's graduation from UTMB and the Purple Pelican made for the perfect home base. The beach is right there and you can see the Gulf of America from the beautiful porch. This place exceeded our expectations and is even nicer than the pictures display. Highly recommend.

Our family loves staying at the Purple Pelican! The owners are terrific and every time we go they have updated the house in some way so it is always fresh and new. Everything is perfect for us. The kitchen has two ovens which really helps and check-in is seamless. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Purple Pelican Praises!

Our family of 10 (age range from 15-76) had a wonderful stay at the Purple Pelican! It was even better than the online pictures-the landscaping is so nice and well cared for, the exterior of the home is impressive and the interior decor is so tastefully done with a classy beach theme. The home was extremely clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable and it was so nice having a bathroom for every bedroom! The owners provided everything we needed to take to the beach including toys, chairs, a wagon and a canopy. The ocean views from the decks were great! We have stayed at many beach homes in Galveston but we all agreed that the Purple Pelican was exceptional!!
