We enjoyed this nicely decorated, clean canal home. The layout worked well for my family. The house is well stocked with kitchen utensils and other essentials. The outdoor seating was nice, the kids loved the kayaks and the green lights for night fishing. We recommend this home!

Nice waterfront retreat!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming home—it was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck overlooking the canal, which offered a peaceful spot to unwind. My boys loved fishing right off the boat dock, adding a special touch to our visit. Kathy, the host, was wonderful and responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. The check-in and check-out process was simple and hassle-free. We highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking to relax and soak in all that Jamaica Beach has to offer.

Spring break vacation

The place was great. We fished off the dock in the evenings, were conveniently located to groceries and restaurants and were able to drive 5 minutes and park on the beach for some sun and sand. Loved the place.

A little out of the way, but nice

Great property. Super easy to fish and kayak. Easy parking. Plenty of dishes and supplies in the house. The description was pretty spot on as far as how it set up and all amenities. It is a little bit far away from Galveston and things to do. The property manager was a little tricky to get in touch with because she was sick, but we were able to figure it out and get into the house. Over all a good day. Overall, a really good staying there.

Saying goodbye

As the title says"saying goodbye" to a loved one. Travelled from Canada to Galveston to do a burial at sea. Getting to the house was easy from the Houston airport. At the house we were five adults (60+ yrs). It was easy access to the home. First impressions....clean and comfortable decor. I must say that I have stayed at a few VRBO homes through the years and this home was set up "beyond" excellent for the kitchen. We we able to cook daily without any "do they have this" comments. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a bathroom for each couple plus one singleton. The added basement suite with bath and lower deck allowed everyone their space and solitude if needed. The decks were clean and the furniture was solid and didn't wobble. We were able to enjoy our morning javas outside with the warm wind. A lovely way to start the day especially with the weather we had been experiencing up north. If I was going to give a negative comment it would only be that the upper entrance door 'sticks' a little when opening/closing it and the ice maker froze up with a big hunk that we cleared out....thats it! Would love to return another time and stay longer.

Great stay!!

We had a great time at The Southwest Pelican!! The kids loved kayaking and fishing in the canal. The beach was just a short golf cart ride away. It fills up quickly, so get there early. The Jamaica Beach pool was wonderful. The house was everything we hoped for. It was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The downstairs bath was a little small, but the master bedroom and bath were spacious and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent Home for Holiday Weekend

Wonderful place to stay for long weekend. Home was clean and well kept. House had everything you'll need for a trip to Galveston area. Our oldest son loved the downstairs room to have a space all to himself. Fishing off the dock was easy and you're a short drive from the beach or grocery store. As someone who's stayed at a number of properties in the area, this was our favorite and can't wait to visit again.

Nice home that was well furnished with tasteful decor. House was to small for six adults. Bathrooms other than the Master were very small. Downstairs living area had a musty smell. Great balcony overlooking the canal. Good for a single family or four adults and one child.
