About this house rental
Pelican View Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' With miles of undeveloped beaches and endless sunshine, Crystal Beach is the perfect Gulf Coast getaway. When you stay at this modern, three-bedroom vacation rental, your friends and loved ones will enjoy all of the comforts of home, in addition to being just a few minutes' walk from the sand and surf. And you can bring your two canine family members along, too! Although this quaint seaside community feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life, downtown Galveston is just a short, scenic ferry ride away. Of course, you won't need to go far to find entertainment with the beach less than a tenth of a mile away! In addition, the Big Store, the peninsula's only full-service grocery store, is a little more than a mile from your front door. Bright and welcoming, this eclectic vacation rental invites you to relax and let your worries fade away. The large living area features plenty of comfy furniture, so the whole gang can stretch out and enjoy a family movie night on the flatscreen cable TV. There's also WiFi, so it's easy to stay in touch with the folks back home. After a long day at the beach, step into the fully equipped kitchen to prepare a hearty meal for your hungry crew. Cleanup is simple thanks to the dishwasher. Sit down to eat at the six-person dining room table, or grab one of the two seats at the breakfast bar. If you'd rather eat outdoors, you'll find this home's outside spaces are just as impressive as its indoor ones. The ground floor features a dining area with a picnic table and outside shower. Upstairs, the oversize balcony includes a built-in ice cooler and plenty of colorful chairs, so the whole family can relax while enjoying music from the surround sound entertainment system. When night falls, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home can comfortably sleep eight guests. The main bedroom features a queen-size bed and an en suite bathroom. In the second bedroom, you'll find another queen-size bed, while the third bedroom includes two twin-size beds. For additional sleeping options, there is also a futon. A private washer/dryer is available to keep your clothes fresh and clean. This home is also fully stocked with all of the linens, towels, and cleaning supplies your group might need, including shampoo and conditioner. When you're ready to venture out, you'll find no shortage of beach-centric activities to occupy your time. Head to the beach to build sandcastles, sunbathe, swim, beach comb, or birdwatch. For the slightly more adventurous, kayaking, surfing, and snorkeling are all available too. Board the free ferry to Galveston and peruse the shops and restaurants downtown. If you're in the mood for thrill rides, head to Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn, just 23 miles away. For more leisurely pursuits, enjoy fishing, golfing, or even crabbing. Don't miss out on this family-friendly Gulf Coast retreat. Make your reservation today!

The home was fantastic and so close to the beach, also close to the best restaurant on the island and the big store.

the property was everything advertised and more. There was constant communication to check on any opportunities for improvement but we had no issues during our stay. Being so convenient to the beach made the trip complete and the local shopping and dining venues did not disappoint. We will definitely book again.

This house is managed by Vacasa. They were terrible with communication when issues arose. The first night we were there the whole town lost power for the whole night. The house was hot and did not have alternative means of power. Other houses in the area had generators for times like that. The power went out again on our last night. Forcing us to leave and find a hotel near by. Again, communication with the property manager was terrible with 3+ hour response times. When I told them about the issues, they told me they had a message into the local staff and would get back to me. Still have yet to hear anything from them. I will not be using Vacasa again. We have had much better experiences with dealing with the property owners directly in the past.
Otherwise, the house is in a great location. I would suggest for the stairway to have a gate at the top for small children to avoid falls. We enjoyed our trip for the most part. Aside from there being no power for two of the nights we were there.

Great house to rent. Brought my family for a short stay. Everything was very easy from check in to check out. Short walk to the beach and is on a beach access road.

Everything was very clean and well prepared. The only complaint that I had, was that the fridge leaked water the entire time that we were there. You might need to get someone to look at it.

We stayed at Pelican View for a couple of days and liked the location which was only one street away from the beach. The house was the right size for our family and was small child friendly. The house could have been cleaner (dusty blinds, sock from previous tenants), the pots and pans need to be replaced, and the area rug had seen better days.

Big kitchen that was fully stocked. Spacious deck. Close to beach. Beach equipment, games, old movies available for use.

I think the place was great, it wasn't as clean as you would expect. There were spider webs in the kitchen as if it had been shut up for a while. I think it was quite pricey to be such an older home, and not as clean as it could be.

False advertising! To say that this place has an "ocean view" is grossly misleading. You literally have to stand on the very corner of the balcony and squint past the 2 rows of houses in front to see the water. This was a huge disappointment for my family because we were looking forward to relaxing on the balcony and watching the waves. Another thing that would've been more of a courtesy than anything, would have been a list of what beach gear is provided. There are no beach chairs or beach towels provided. Aside from that, the house was clean and spacious for our 7 adults, 1 baby, and 2 dogs. Being able to park at the house and walk to the beach was very convenient! The owners just need to fix their advertising. And a couple small things that need to be addressed - the microwave above the stove did not work, so whenever we cooked, it would smoke out the house. And I'm not sure why the windows were locked closed - there was such a nice breeze while we were there and we wanted to open them. All in all, I do not plan to book this place again.

I wanna start off by saying that "ocean view" is a gross exaggeration. You can see the ocean if you stand in a specific corner of the balcony and try to squint between the 2 rows of houses in front. My family was looking forward to hanging out on the balcony every day and watching the ocean waves, but nope. They need to take that off the listing because it's SO misleading. Another disappointment was the lack of beach towels. I think that all beach equipment provided should be listed so that guests can better prepare. And then the kitchen had a microwave above the stove which didn't work, so that meant there was no vent to use when cooking - needless to say, the place would get smoky every time we cooked. And what's the deal with the windows not being able to open? Besides that, the location was nice - it truly was a 2 minute walk to the beach. And it was very convenient to have 4 parking spots at the house. The cleanliness was on point as well. All in all, we made the best of it. I just feel like the owners need to update their listing to be more accurate.

Clean, open inviting, had all the amenities we needed, less than 2 to 3 minutes walk to a very clean section of the beach (not all beaches look this beautiful). Close to other amenities (gas, coffee, pastries, groceries, restaurants). Had a great time with family.

Our overall stay was amazing as we had the chance to stay within walking distance of the beach and enjoy it for the whole day. I’d definitely be willing to recommend the property if the issues can be resolved as they are not that big but can make a huge difference in the stay. The property itself is nice, but there are a few things that made it go from a 5 star to 3 star very easily (could’ve been less)
First: the cleanliness of the house was not good. The bed blankets and pillows had stains where you could tell they were dirty or not cleaned properly. We had to unfortunately use them as we did not being any extra blankets or anything.
Second: there was an ant issue and it was BAD. Since the second we got there we spotted some ants; we didn’t think much of it but as our stay progressed, we saw how bad it was. One morning we made breakfast and we decided to leave the leftovers in the counter, covered with aluminum. Hours later we went back and the whole plate was covered in a pile of ants eating the food. Everywhere in the house we had to be careful of our belonging or the ants would start getting to it. Really bad taste on that matter.

The property is in a good location, but I didn’t think the floors were very clean. The sugar ants were a HUGE problem and we noticed them within a couple hours. There was no electricity to the outlets downstairs where 90 percent of the gathering time occurs. Otherwise, the property was in a good location, is spacious, and does have all the amenities of home.
