Great condo and location!

The property has a lot of amenities and is walking distance to shops and dining. Location is great! The condo itself has everything you need. The chairs on the patio are Adirondack, not the most comfortable and can’t see over the railing when sitting, but the ocean view is amazing. The management was very proactive and communicative.

Great stay!!!

I give it 5 stars! The condo was better than the pictures even showed. We recieved a welcome email with a code to get in 1 week before our dates, and we had zero issues upon arrival. The building is well-maintained, parking is easy/free, the building is gated, and the condo itself is really nice with a beautiful view. We had a great week here and will book again in the future!

SO CLEAN! Will definitely be back!

This condo was nothing short of amazing! Communication with the owner was easy! The cleanliness was outstanding, I have never been to the beach and stayed at a place so clean (& we go often, so this says a lot). We literally didn’t even feel sand on the floor or in the bed. Very well taken care of! Condo was up to date on appliances and furniture. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you so much, Steve!

Spring Break Family Trip

Overall the stay was great! The condo was a great size for our family of 4. The view from our balcony was amazing, we spent every morning out there drinking our coffee, what a great way to start your day! We had a minor issue with the cleanliness of the condo but it was addressed immediately and we were very pleased with the communication with the host. The location of the condo was right in the center of the main strip so it was busy, making it a little difficult to enter and exit the resort.

The rental was very smooth from beginning to end. Condo was clean and comfortable with excellent views. The property is very nice and the new pool will be a big bonus. The owners were great and checked in on occasion to make sure that everything was going well. I appreciated their attentiveness. Looking forward to staying at Pelican Beach Resort again in the near future.

Great condo for a couple getaway!

The condo was great! The condo owners were very responsive and easy to get in touch with. The condo was ready super early on the day we arrived which was soooo nice because we were planning on getting there early to get a late lunch and then check in, but it was already ready once we arrived so we were able to drop all of our stuff off and then go get lunch! Checkout time was also pretty flexible. My boyfriend of 6 years and I had a lovely time and will for sure be returning. Since it was only us two, there was so much space to spread out and having two bathrooms was awesome too. Highly recommend!
