Guest Reviews
- Kennard (10/5): - It was clean, comfortable and the breakfast was filling and tasty. My only complaint is that there were no instructions on checking in/finding my room. We didn’t arrive until 8:45pm. I eventually called the number on my receipt and all was explained. I’m glad I had it. There was information inside the room. Over all I highly recommend it.
- Shania (10/5): - Excellent, comfortable bed and peaceful stay!
- Tsz Man (10/5): - The owner and manger are very friendly and nice place to stay
- Bryan (8/5): - The hosts were friendly and provided a quality experience overall.
- Maria (10/5): Just awesome - The house! Just gorgeous and the staff super attentive! So big on details! From the rooms decor and comfort features to the breakfast and snacks. Made our mini getaway feel like we stayed with family. So close to fishing and swimming and a great selection of food close by. Will return!
- George (10/5): - My overall experience was terrific, owner was responsive and very engaging, just friendly as you would want. food was good and spot location is terrific to fish or take a stroll by the water, did I mention just a peaceful place, very calming. Great relaxing trip! George
- Shelly (10/5): - We absolutely loved every moment of our stay here. The hosts are incredible, the breakfast is delicious, and the beds are comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better, more enjoyable stay!
- brenda (10/5): - We were looking for a quiet weekend away from Houston. This B&B had everything we wanted and more: beautiful location on Matagorda bay, cozy and tastefully decorated suite, delightful hosts who served a variety of healthy tasty breakfasts throughout the weekend, and great seafood a couple of blocks away! Paula and Theresa have created a “welcome home’ environment that we so appreciated!
- Shannon (10/5): - Neat historical property! Excellent breakfast! Friendly innkeeper and interesting helpful owner. Free WiFi. We’ll be back again.
- Benjamin (10/5): - Very nice innkeeper Excellent breakfast We will return in future
- Sarah (10/5): Absolutely Will Go Again - We enjoyed the relaxing stay at the Peaceful Pelican. We stayed in one of the houses towards the back of the property. Theresa was wonderful and made an amazing breakfast. The views at breakfast were serene. We will be going again!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfectly quaint B&B! Owner was fantastic. Highly recommend.
- Hermine (10/5): - This is a lovely B&B with a calm view of the bay. Palacios is far from the hustle so it’s perfect for a retreat and this is the place you’ll want to stay at. Paula, the owner, is personable and makes the place homey and welcoming. The cute cats fascinated my family. The breakfast was hearty and delicious. A great way to kick back. The suite on the first floor is quiet and has a bath tub and shower. The king bed was comfortable. We slept like babies. While the place may need some cosmetic touch ups it stays cosy and inviting. I would recommend for couples or singles looking for quiet or for a small family of 3. Lots of fishing spots all around.
- Robin (10/5): Peaceful - Lovely view from the bandb Paula was extremely helpful. Enjoyed our stay
- Linda (10/5): Great place to stay! - Very nice and peaceful! Paula is very nice!
- Gene (10/5): - This is an incredibly unique property. I happened to be there at probably the worst time of the year--not, unfortunately on vacation, but rather for business, but still found the experience very positive. The home itself is lovely and very well kept. However the most important reason to try the Pelican is to meet the owner, who is lovely. She knows the area, has plenty of great suggestions about what there is to do, where to eat, and the breakfast she served was amazing. If you are heading in this direction, or even if you are not planning to, try the Pelican!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful place, right on the gulf. Would recommend very highly. Will be back to rent out while house.
- Steve (10/5): Quite and peaceful - It was peaceful, wonderful area as well, no disturbances at all, plan on going back soon.
- Dylan (10/5): - Everything was great about the place. Not much in terms of restaurants or activities to do in the area, but that's not really anything the hotel owner can control.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The residence was in excellent condition with beautiful old fashioned accomodations. Breakfast was very good plus with a little park and the bay right across the street for an early morning stroll. Palacios was a fun little getaway but peaceful town. If we get the chance, we will be back!
- Mary (10/5): It was a great B&B on the bay. View was great. Lov - We stayed during 4th of July and everything right in front. Relaxing. Quaint town. Friendly people
- Barry (10/5): Quiet, Friendly and Comfortable - We very much enjoyed the Pelican. My son and I stayed here during a sailing event and really felt at home. It is on the water with good views and the bed was super comfortable. We also very much enjoyed the "home-cooked" breakfast. We would definitely stay there again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very peaceful place to stay. It is a great place for someone looking for a quiet, away from people type of vacation. It was perfect for us retired older people. Breakfast was good and hospitality was excellent. Our room was so very clean and looked over the bay. You couldn't swim in the bay across from the hotel, that was a little disappointing, but we drove over to Matagorda Beach and to Magnolia Beach. Ate at a local restaurant both nights, the food was excellent, highly recommend this restaurant, the Bayside
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Highly recommended! Beautiful home, excellent service, great breakfasts. Very peaceful.
- angela (10/5): Peaceful and close to fishing piers - Will definitely be a repeat customer. Paula was extremely nice and made us breakfast every morning, it was like visiting a family member. We woke up, walked across the street and were able to fish on one of the short platforms. The two piers were still damaged from the lasr hurricane but they were fixing them. A short drive and there was still a pier that we could have fished at as well.
- Carol (10/5): friendly staff and clean and nice rooms - Friendly staff, great staff and great breakfast . loved visit with other guest and close to the beach. clean and comfortable rooms
- Verified traveler (8/5): Peaceful pelican - I chose downstairs suite, since I was traveling with my dog. I didn’t know there were at least five stray cats that they feed at back of home. They’re very friendly with humans, but my dog wasn’t too happy with them. This is a heads up for all those allergic to cats! The house is over a 100 years old, so understandably made a lot of noises. My dog once again wasn’t too fond of all of them. Also, there were so many mosquitoes out this time of year. Back door allowed them to enter room easily. Owners do provide off, but no body wants to sleep with that on their bodies. This is a notice for all those with sweet blood prone to getting bites. Check in is easy as there’s no paperwork or showing ID. Actually, you show up and keys are in door of room that you booked. Many times B&B owners were not there to greet guests. For clarity, front door remains open at night. Chef Ruth makes dinner for guests and locals. While it is not a requirement to join, please note that 15-20 people may be visiting and staying late at house. It’s definitely in perfect location across water and sea wall.
- Jo (10/5): - I had an amazing weekend! Totally relaxing! I felt at home! Breakfast was great! Will go back again!!
- Lori (8/5): Cozy B&B - This is a wonderful, quiet Bed & Breakfast! We just wanted to get away for awhile & this was a great place. Ruth was very welcoming and cooked a great breakfast! Our room had a great view of the bay, if the weather would have cooperated, it would have been perfect. It is just a short walk to the water, fishing & picnic areas. The bed could have been a little more comfortable, but overall a very nice room. Really enjoyed the deep, claw footed bathtub in our private bathroom. The house has a nice sun room and a comfortable front porch that looks out over the water. We will definitely go back when the weather is better.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Peaceful is as Peaceful Does - Amazing. Everything about the three days we had here was perfect. Paula was a great help of putting us in places to put our kayaks in the water. She and Colleen did an excellent job with breakfast. We will be back sooner than later.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Belated Valentine's Getaway - It was our first time at a bed and breakfast and we were very impressed. We got there and there was a note on the door, that said to come on in and make yourself at home, so we did. Room was nice and had an awesome view of the bay. In the morning the owner Paul cooked as an awesome breakfast and sat down with us to eat and visited with us all, it was just like a home cooked family breakfast. If your looking for a very relaxing place to chill, we highly recommend it. Be warned though the town is very small and not much to do there short of fishing and relaxing.
- Ruth (10/5): Great place to stay - Paula is a lovely, interesting lady. Very helpful finding activities we enjoy. The house is very clean and the bed is cosy comfy. The view from our room and the porch is spectacular! Great access to the walking path along the sea wall. This place is a gem!
- JOHN (8/5): Unique - It is a unique B&B in a unique location. The hostess was very nice and very helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful old B&B right across from the bay. - Just a special place to get away from the crowds. The bed was a king sleep number mattress. Comfortable rockers on the front porch for water and bird watching. Everyone feels at home.
- Tam (10/5): wounderful view of bay very relaxing - relaxing direct view of bay covered porch with wonderful chairs to sit walk the bay walk in front very clean
- Nancy (8/5): Good relax and unwind. - My daughter and I stayed one night here. The town is small, but has some great public piers and a small sand beach. There are chairs on the front porch to watch the bay and the pelicans. There are a few small restaurants in town, and more in Bay City. K2 steak house is lovely. The breakfast was fantastic and our hostess welcoming. There is a lot of fishing in this town. Great to unwind with walks, books, and hooks! Very comfy common rooms. The rooms are not very sound proof so be considerate of your neighbors above, beside and below you! I would recommend two nights so you can really unwind and enjoy the shore. It would be great to bicycle (pretty flat), canoe or kayak (on a bay not the ocean. Bird watching with several locations near by.
- Lea (8/5): Quiet, relaxing B&B - Very quiet and relaxing bed and breakfast. The breakfast was delicious. The rooms were clean, and the owner is kind and hospitable. Not a lot to do in the surrounding town, but a perfect place to catch up on some rest and relax.
- Patrick (10/5): - What a wonderful bed and breakfast-- Paula is amazing!! We cant wait to stay here again..
- Abigail (10/5): Peaceful Hotel right by Beach - It was amazing! Nice an cozy in a spacious way! Paula was AMAZING! We stayed I. The Magnolia Room and had 7 windows, all of which you could see the beach out of. Amazing bed and breakfast!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful peaceful getaway - Only downfall was the beach was about 40 miles but still 100% worth it. Very personable owner and chef Ruth was incredible. Would definitely recommend.
- Cindy (10/5): Peaceful Indeed - Beautiful historical home with lots of charm and thoughtful detail. Very nice breakfast.
- beverly (10/5): Would stay again in a heartbeat. - The Peaceful Pelican absolutely exceeded expectations. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was large. Paula was sweet and accommodating. The location was perfect, near the water and I would definitely stay again.
- Taylor (10/5): It was really nice and relaxing! - It was our first b&b experience and we were not disappointed. Planning on returning in the future.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The view from the Magnolia Room is awesome! You have a great view of the water and the sunrise

- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful peaceful place . We love it very much. - Wonderful experience. Paula , the owner is very , very nice. It is very clean , beautiful landscape and she cooked for us delicious breakfast . Thank you very much Peaceful Pelican.
- Gary (10/5): Like Home - Very quiet and a charming room. Breakfast was top notch. Felt very welcome during our stay.
- Cathryn (10/5): anniversary weekend away. - Could not have been much better. Lovely small town. Excellent breakfast, wonderful owner
- Josh (10/5): A welcomed break from the hustle and bustle! - Booked a trip to the area, and having never stayed in a B&B before decided to give the Peaceful Pelican a try. I am incredibly glad I did! This inn is incredibly well kept, and has an antique theme that made me feel at home. Combine this with the incredible friendliness of the staff and you have a place that I'll be returning too. If you're anywhere in the area, and you're looking for a place that will melt away the bustle of the outside world, YOU NEED TO STAY AT THE PEACEFUL PELICAN!
- roger (10/5): A very Peaceful Pelican - Very pleasant four day stay , made a wonderful change from the run of the mill modern hotel. First class breakfast (different every day !) served by our first class host Paula who made us very welcome in all respects. Will be revisiting !
- Phyllis (8/5): My retreat from chaos. - It was exactly what I needed for my purposes. No TV, no WiFi, just peace and quiet. The interim inn keeper, Margaret was a joy to talk to and a great cook. She directed me to good eating places in town, where to take some great pictures. The house is old with wooden floors, lots of antiques and a great little sun room to relax in. I loved walking along the sea wall and watching the white caps and the pelicans. There is no beach right there but a nice cement walkway that goes on for quite a distance. All in all it was what I needed.
- Dorothy (10/5): Wonderful weekend at the Peaceful Pelican! - Beautiful location on the bay, wonderful hostess, delicious breakfasts, superb room with view, and nice interaction with other guests. Frank and I enjoyed very much our three-day stay and highly recommend the Peaceful Pelican to anyone wanting an escape from the "rat race." Palacios has a few good restaurants, but it is just 30 minutes from Port Lavaca and Matagorda, which have additional choices. It is also close to the Aransas Wildlife Refuge. Perfect, quiet location.
- Kay (10/5): Complete Relaxation - All we wanted was to get away and relax - no kids - no jobs - nothing. It was all that and more!!! Paula was so welcoming and provided such a pleasant atmosphere and an excellent breakfast. We lounged in the rockers on the front porch as it rained and listened to the sounds of the bay. We walked down the seawall. We enjoyed the claw foot tub. It was the most wonderful way to relax, refresh and recharge for our 23rd Wedding Anniversary. Definitely will be back.
- Judy (10/5): Absolutely Wonderful - Was a quiet get away and the first time we have experienced a B&B. We had a wonderful time, the B&B couldn't have been more beautiful. The owner doted on us and everyone else staying there, she was also always available if needed. Will recommend to friends and definitely will return!
- Judy (10/5): Will go again. - We loved our stay. Paula was warm, welcoming and cooks a fantastic breakfast. Weather could have been better but that wasn't her fault.
