“Definately NOT worth the money!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2012 via mobile

We stayed in the Sundance Room for a weekend getaway. The room was very small. Once checked in the manager informed us of no cable in the bedroom. The walls are thin, the head board was not secure and the a/c was turned up to 80 drgrees during the night.
No breakfast was served, instead a $20 gift card to Cadillac bar. Even eating lightly the bill exceeded $20.
The parking situation is not great either.

“Simply Awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2011

My husband and I went for a weekend getaway and stayed here. The property is absolutely beautiful, well maintained and a terrific location. We sat on the private balcony of the Duke Room and watched the gulf, the boats, birds, and the gorgeous sunrise (worth waking up early for)!. What a relaxing time we had. The property manager Tina did a superb job, she has the perfect personality for her role. Can't wait for a return trip.

“Beach house luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 30, 2011 via mobile

We stayed two nights... A weekend getaway while on business in Houston. We loved the beach house, the amazing 'Duke' room... With it's views out over the bay, the jetty and the fact it's 2 minutes walk to kemah boardwalk. Tina welcomed us fantastically, and made us feel right at home. The sunrise from the duke's balcony was beautiful.
Great restaurants at kemah boardwalk, and some interesting bars in the lighthouse district.... And we had a go on the boardwalk bullet! The wooden roller coaster! Not far the the NASA space centre... Where we spent 6 hours.
But the best thing is definitely the view and the peace and quiet!

“Beautiful Beach House!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 13, 2011

This was the most beautiful beach house we've ever stayed in. It was beautifully decorated with class and good taste. Our weekend was quiet and romantic and we enjoyed the wonderful view of the ocean. We felt like we had the whole house to ourselves! It was only a short walk to the Kemah Boardwalk for dinner.

“A perfect haven that was beyond our greatest expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2011

The White Texas Pelican was everything we could possibly have hoped for and more. From the moment we booked the B @ B, to the meeting of our hostess, Tina, we were treated like royalty. The home is beautiful, clean, well equipped and located next to the water and the Boardwalk. Sunset and sunrise are breathtaking from "The Duke". Tina was so helpful and kind and meeting her was like reuniting with a dear friend. I highly recommend the Pelican for the perfect getaway that will leave you relaxed, rejuvinated and ready to go back for more!

Room Tip: Any room is great but The Duke offers great view.
