Pelican Beach Hideaway – Gilchrist’s Best-Kept Secret

Tucked away in a secluded paradise, Pelican Beach in Gilchrist is where the sand meets serenity. With nothing but “sandy cheeks” as your neighbor, you’ll have all the space you need to stretch out, breathe in the salty air, and let the waves set the soundtrack to your escape.After a sun-drenched day of beachcombing and wave-watching, sink into plush memory foam beds that cradle you like a dream. And every morning? A front-row seat to an uninterrupted sunrise—no filters needed.The beach is pristine, wide open, and just waiting for your chair, your book, your favorite drink, and your best lazy-day vibes. When you’re ready to explore, take a quick trip to the legendary Lonely House and cross, then swing by The Big Store to stock up on everything your crew needs.Secluded yet close to adventure—Pelican Beach Hideaway is your personal slice of coastal heaven

Relaxing escape from the city

We enjoyed our stay very much! We wanted to escape from the city and the remote feeling of this house was perfect. The only downside was the wind made the built in blinds in the primary bedroom knock against the glass all night long. It made it virtually impossible to sleep well in that room. We enjoyed being able to watch our kids from the deck while they played on the beach. It was so easy for them to walk down by themselves (ages 5 & 6).

Enjoyed the beautiful ocean view. Watched the dolphins jumping behind the fishing boats. Be sure to bring binoculars. Collected a boat load of different sea shells. Just overall enjoyed the beach house overlooking the Gulf of America.

Clean, quiet, off the beaten path

Our host was super helpful and welcoming. House is right on the beach, so sitting on the deck or opening the living room door and listening to the waves is delightful. There is one house next door, but otherwise the house isolated from others. We loved visiting the nearby Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary and seeing LOTS of egrets, spoonbills, and alligators. We also loved driving to the free ferry and visiting Galveston. We chose to kayak Galveston Island State Park. All told, a wonderful experience and a great location for what we were looking for.

Lovely home!

This house is in a great location right on the beach with close proximity to the grocery store and close enough to the ferry that we traveled to Galveston nearly every day. House was well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location

We stayed here with my parents and our family dog. It was right on the beach- can't get any closer!- and was exactly as advertised. You can definitely feel the house swaying, but it was really only noticeable on the back porch and wasn't so drastic as to make anyone feel seasick (I was worried it was going to feel like a cruise ship). The house had everything we needed, though a few more cooking basics (pots, pans, bigger bowls for serving) would have been appreciated as we mostly cooked in for dinner. Remember to bring other basics like aluminum foil, plastic wrap, salt/pepper, etc. as nothing is provided. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the beach and our stay!

Amazing

This property was perfect for my wife and I (and our mini pin). Check in was a breeze, the house is located in a great beach spot with good views. The underneath bar was awesome, we spent a lot of time on the deck and downstairs at the bar area. House was very clean and neat. Will stay again.

Here's a review for your beachfront vacation rental: "I had the most incredible stay at this luxurious beachfront home! The property was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, offering all the amenities one could ask for. The best part was enjoying the stunning views of the ocean under a full moon, creating a truly magical experience. The location was perfect—peaceful and uncrowded, providing the ideal setting for a relaxing getaway.

Great Beach House, Great Owner

We enjoyed our stay at Margenes place. It was clean, perfect location, right on the beach with only one other house next to you. We had an a/c issue and Margene was very easy to talk with and had the issue fixed within a couple of hours. Do not hesitate to book this beach house. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Margene for letting us BORROW your place for a few days and being super responsive to our calls and fixing the issue we had ! Your the best !!!
