Get Away from It All! Waterfront Home on San Antonio Bay! 300' Private Pier!

Our modest but comfortable, coastal home, we've named Pelicasa (Pelican + Casa!) is located in the small fishing community of Seadrift, Texas. Get ready to leave any stress & anxiety behind as you find yourself in an environment lacking traffic jams, traffic lights, restaurant lines and full parking lots.

Pelicasa is located outside of town at the end of Swan Point Road where it meets San Antonio Bay. This beautiful bay is one of the Gulf Coast’s best-kept secrets for great fishing & duck hunting. In fact, there are many well-seasoned fishing & hunting guides and guide services available in our area. Whether you’re a fisherman excited at the prospect of fishing from the convenience of a private pier during your stay, a hunter looking for ducks, deer or wild hog, an avid bird watcher & wildlife enthusiast or a person in need of unwinding & relaxation, our home is the place for you!

Here are some things to look forward to with your stay: front row sunset seats all for you; uninterrupted view of San Antonio Bay along with all it’s fascinating inhabitants like Pelicans & Dolphins; launch your boat right down the street at the Free Public Boat Ramp; and no noise except for the water lapping against the bulk head and the breeze rustling through the old palm tree.

There is a deck attached to the backside of the home facing the water and a deck out over the water from the bulkhead. Both offer a wonderful place to sit and take in the view. There is a large concrete pad in front of our home next to the barn that will accommodate a fairly large RV or boat trailer.

Our home offers sleeping accommodations for up to 10 people (including adults, teens or kids). However, please note: The nightly rate allows up to 6 people only. If your party includes 7 up to 10 people maximum, additional fees are required in order to allow for more time cleaning (changing bed linens, laundry, etc), to offset the additional wear & tear on our home (septic system, water well pump & equipment, etc) and to cover supply use (propane, drinking water, etc).
The master bedroom has a king sized bed, the guest bedroom has a king sized bed and the bunk room has 3 bunk beds for a total of 6 twin sized beds. Each bathroom has a standup shower and the home has a full size washer & dryer. The kitchen is equipped with a full size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, electric stove and coffee maker (both Mr Coffee and Keurig) along with the basic pots, pans, dishes & utensils. There is a bay view from the open concept kitchen, dining & living room as well as the master bedroom. In addition to the home itself, a very large barn is set up with a propane grill, flat top propane griddle, single propane burner for boiling pots or fish fries, a freezer for storing ice and table that seats 10. We have Roku for Guests with a TV in the living room, master bedroom, guest bedroom and barn. And we also have fiber optic cable wifi for your convenience.

Wonderful home for a cozy getaway.
This home is very cute and came equipped with everything we could have possibly needed during our weekend stay. It was very comfortable and had plenty of space for our party of 6 adults plus guests that visited during the day. The private pier was great but definitely needs some minor repairs which the owner is aware of and working on. Loved the barn for evening hang outs!

Property was nice but description of property needs to be updated. There are boards missing on the fishing pier, which makes it a hazard, especially if you have kiddos. Pier is a little wobbly, and only one of lights on pier worked first night, the remainder of stay (2nights) lights didn’t work at all. The described docking area for the boat is no longer there, so had to pull boat in each time. One trash bin was completely full upon arrival, leaving us with little to no room to dispose of our trash. Mice living in the barn so there was mouse poop on things in the barn. We had stayed several years ago and the place was awesome but seems like it hasn’t been kept up as well, so a little disappointed to say the least. On the upside the beds in house are amazingly comfy and the view of bay is spectacular!!

Another fantastic stay at Pelicasa
This will be the 5th or 6th year in a row that my buddies and I stayed at Pelicasa. We head down every fall to do a blast & cast and can’t say enough good things about this property. Russel and Denise are the best hosts and the property has more charm and character than any other spot we have rented in the past. We can’t wait to get back down in December !!

Quiet, convenient location
The property faces west on San Antonio Bay just south of the town of Seadrift. It is a short drive from Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, where we spent a lovely day. The property is perfect for morning bird watching and magnificent sunsets in the evening. The property owners were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.

Great vacation
We had a great time at Pelicasa. This was our second time there, and we’ve enjoyed both very much. The house is clean and well stocked. Having the barn to cook in, hang out and store fishing gear is perfect. Communication with Denise is easy. She’s very quick to respond. We would’ve liked to stay another week, but duty called.

Nice private accommodations on the bay. Loved the barn so guys can hang out & ladies had their space. House stocked well for preparing meals. Nice neighborhood easy walks to the boat ramp & park at the end of the street. Pier was fun to fish from day or night, beautiful sunset. I’d go back there to relax & get away!

Perfect Getaway
My husband asked me what I wanted for my leap year birthday and my answer was...a fishing trip at the coast. I could not have asked for a better place to celebrate. The house was adorable, exactly what you think of for a coastal getaway. The garage gives you so much space to play when the weather isn't great. We fished the dock, caught more than when we went out on the boat. It was just a perfect weekend. We'll definitely be renting again!!

We had a great time staying in this Bay house! We have stayed there 6 or 7 times and we will be back. The fishing is great and the location is perfect for frying fish and visiting with friends. The beds are comfortable and we always have everything we need. Denise is quick to respond if you have any questions. It’s one of our favorite homes away from home.

Great Birthday Celebration
A group of 6 set out for a wonderful long weekend in SEADRIFT to celebrate a Birthday!! We had a great time - this place has everything we need: An outdoor space for the guys to hang out; nice chairs on the back porch for the morning coffee; a wonderful yard for a few games of Corn-Hole; and a table big enough for our Surf & Turf dinner. This was our 3rd time here and it is always clean and so relaxing.
