The house was clean and ready for guests! The only issue we had was the bunk bed/queen room was not connected to the kitchen/master. We had littles for the bunk bed and having them in a separate building was an issue. Other then that the walk to the beach was short and simple.

The location was perfect! Close to some stores, 2 minute walk to the beach and a great neighborhood. My family enjoyed their stay.

My wife and I decided to come out from California for an island vacation in Galveston and we are glad we did! We stayed at John's Pelicans Soar only one block from the beach and loved it. The home had everything we needed to cook and entertain, in fact all of the bedrooms and living areas had smart tv's and the wifi was super fast. The furniture was all very comortable and the beds were especially nice. We loved the view of the gulf and the sound of the waves and the Pelicans flying by was awesome! The outdoor entertainment area was cool too with a big screen smart tv.They even provided a beach wagon with beach towels and toys for the kids! The home is located on the west shore only about 10 minutes from the Galveston seawall the shopping grocery stores and gas within minutes. If you’re into working out, there’s a gym about a half a mile away which had all the basic necessities. Galveston exceeded our expectations with great restaurants and a really fun music/ foody scene downtown and along the seawall. So many things to do we could have stayed for a month instead of only a week. We will be back and we highly recommend this home and John was an excellent host!

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend near the beach - the deck had a beautiful view of the water and was only about 2 blocks from the beach. However - make sure you get check-in information in advance. It was not in the app instructions and the owner didn't respond until an hour after check-in (multiple calls/texts/messages in the app) with this information as we sat in the hot sun outside. Despite the start, we enjoyed our time and it is a nice, quiet neighborhood.
