"The Blue Pelican is by far one of the best vacation rentals we have ever experienced. The home is incredibly well appointed from a fully stocked kitchen to bicycles and beach gear in the garage. The screened-in back porch is also a treasure. When guests arrive, everything has been considered for an enjoyable stay. I cannot recommend this property enough. "
