Beautiful place - the constant flow of pelicans gliding by made the view of rolling waves even more special. The deck is spacious! Reading with the of sound of the ocean is my idea of a perfect vacation. I’d love to own a place like this for my weekends; until then, living here for a week helped make my ‘retirement’ trip the perfect getaway.

This was a fantastic place for a quick getaway. I wanted to stay longer. The west end of Galveston is so calm and peaceful. The home is ideally situated (if you like a little distance between the more touristy parts) and has a lovely view. The house is well cared for and makes a wonderful place to stay for a small group (4), couple, or solo traveler.

Cute, quaint, and clean This house is perfect for a small group getaway. Sitting on the porch in the elevated rockers was our favorite part of the day! The kitchen is fabulous as well as functional for a quick breakfast before touring. The addition of a Keurig would be a plus, but we made the coffee maker work for us.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The house was solid, cute decor, close to the beach. The view was perfect! There were 5 of us. Two adults, a 10, 9 and 5 year old. It was a little small for us. One bathroom was kind of hard at times for the kids. But we made it work. I would definitely say 4 adults would be max on comfort. We brought a cot for the 5 year old. Not until we left did we realize the couch had a hide a bed in it. We have stayed at about 10 different houses over the years. Two of them were within a mile to even 5 houses down from the Purple Pelican. I leave completely honest reviews. That's what I would want. There are a few negatives - there wasn't a can opener, pot holders or even full size mixing bowls. The cookware was amazing though! There needs to be a vent in the bathroom. Looks like one is there but it doesn't work. The bathtub is slippery. My 5 yr old fell twice the first night. The big coffee maker doesn't work but the little one is great. Biggest complaint - the beds. They are hard as a rock. Along with the couch. Maybe some pillow toppers would be great? Our 9 yr old even woke up saying he felt beat up. But the house itself is good. Just bring your own kitchen stuff. And be prepared to hurt. The chairs outside are the best seat in the house. Oh and maybe a mop left behind would be great. There isnt one. Last thing enjoy the water but watch that current. It changed everyday. Thanks for the house. :)
