Even though Hurricane Irma was churning up the seas, she couldn't out a damper on our week at Pelican Point. Unfortunately, the other half of our relatives couldn't make the trip from Florida, so we had the whole place to ourselves. We fished, went crabbing, took long walks on the beach, did the museum near the Hattetas ferry, climbed the Hatteras Lighthouse, visited quite a few stores, kayaking on the sound, not to mention hours spent in the beautiful pool and relaxing in the hot tub. Enjoyed the spectacular sunsets nightly from the guesthouse deck. This was our fifth year at Pelican Point and we loved it as much as the first time. Hopefully we are booked already for 2018.
One of the wonderful features about Pelican Point is that us older folks with some issues (knees, legs, back) find the walkways to be smooth sailing. No mountains of stairs to be climbing, thus all can share in any and all activities. Very handicapped friendly if needed. Very easy for unloading and repacking the car when it's time to leave. Boo-hoo !!
Another plus is the neighborhood. Quiet! ! You get the feeling that you are the only people around. But you aren't. Early morning fishing, one hears roosters in the distance and boats on their way to fishing grounds while the sun peeks over the horizon. The neighbors are local, born here, and are a delight to chat with. Talk about a wealth of information about the area. And so friendly.
Looking forward to next year when we will have our family reunion once again barring another hurricane. Did miss our spirited matches of bocce ball. Threw a few horseshoes, but it just wasn't the same . . .
