Fantastic Time!
We had a thoroughly relaxing two weeks. Except for the tornado warning early on, the weather cooperated beautifully. We love this house and what you’ve done to it. These guidelines are sensible and easy to follow. Five stars across the board. Especially nice on winter weekdays, when we had the beach to ourselves.

That is wonderful news to hear! We're glad your winter getaway at the coast was a relaxing one. We hope to host you again, sans tornado warning.

Being at the beach is all about location! This rental did not disappoint. I loved the outside bathroom which made it convenient to keep teenagers outside and off their phones. The house was soooo clean and easy to keep clean.

Our family came into town for a family event in Pearland, but we wanted to have beach time as a family. Our party of 12 (9 adults +3 children) were comfortable at the beach house. It was beautifully decorated. Kitchen had everything we needed. We especially loved the lower deck with the toilet and shower which saved us trips up and down the stairs. The communication was excellent with 979 team. I felt like if I had any issues, I could just call them or text them. We never had any issues, but they seem to genuinely care by checking on us occasionally. Definitely will come back and stay!

Great location, very clean space. We stayed in March 2025. We loved the easy access to the beach and peaceful surroundings. The house is well taken care of with modern updates. Internet worked well, TV was easy to use when needed. Beach was awesome and clean. Two very minor points: We arrived after dark and it was a bit hard to find the house number. We had a couple cold nights and we were in a constant battle with the HVAC controls that kept defaulting back to A/C probably due to auto-programming, but not a big deal, we were always comfortable.

Thank you for the compliments, tips for future guests, and being such a great group to host, Timothy! We're so glad you found everything clean, modern, and beachy fun! We will share your suggestion to the owner on the house number and lighting, we appreciate it. As for the thermostat, once you arrive, our system switches the home to occupied and you should have had full control of whether you want heat or AC. We are not aware of any issue with the mode, but we will definitely check into it. Sorry for any inconvenience as a result. We would love to host you again!

My dad and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. Closer to the beach than in the photos and the deck was better in person as well. It was almost like having a private beach and it was so relaxing. The home was perfect for us and highly recommend.

Nice place. Well decorated and outfitted. Friendly staff. It was comfortable for our group of 8 adults and we had a wonderful time. Note: GPS directions said turn on to Teal but the street sign says Blue Water which is the correct street. I never did see Teal.

We stayed at Pelican Paradise during its previous incarnation and love what the new owner has done with it. San Luis Beach is quieter and roomier than the Village of Surfside, which we stuck with for 60 years. Weekdays, the beach was gloriously empty. During two brilliantly sunny days, the mostly well-behaved crowds appeared, which is something for February. Love the potable water from the new well and the icemaker (which needs a fix).

Had another house booked but it was cancelled by another company less than 24 hours before we were to arrive. Found this house was available and booking was so easy and they communicated with me instantly. They really saved our vacation. We have been coming to Surfside/Freeport every year for 35 years and stayed in so many different rentals. This was by far the easiest I’ve dealt with. House was exactly as described and it was the top cleanest we’ve ever had. Perfect beach view and easy access to get to the beach. 6 of us went and plenty of beds. Only thing I’d change would be to add recliners or a sectional couch in living room, it was comfortable but needing additional seating/recliners to watch tv. Would definitely recommend using 979 rentals again. They even left a gift basket with soaps, shampoo, coozies and detergent.
