Short getaway

The property and ocean front location was amazing ! Turfan was great to work with. The only thing that we didn’t like was the beach chairs and not being able to sit closer to the beach. For that reason only we would not book the Pelican again. Choosing either to be four rows back or on top of the next group was not good!

Wonderful stay

The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Our boys loved the bunk beds with the TVs and our King size bed was very comfortable. The view was perfect from our balcony and we were able to see dolphins on our last morning there. So many great restaurants and stores within a mile or 2 of Pelican Beach, so we never had to venture far. Our boys, 8 and 10, swam in every pool and had the best time! We will most definitely be back!

We would come back in the future.

December 2024 Stay

This is a good unit. There is an older re-do and some thought has been made with an eye towards the beach condo experience and making you feel at home. Biggest issue is the master bedroom plantation shutters need to be fixed so that the light does not come beaming in at night. Nice place though!

It was calm quiet. Room was nice with a good view. Great food close. Beach was nice and clean. Didn’t like how if you weren’t a paying customer for a beach chair the whole front row of beach was off limits for lawn chairs and setups. Like a money grab paying customers for the condos should have same access to beachfront. Especially with the beach chairs lined the whole property front. Overall great stay. Would recommend to others.

Property manager was super quick with communication and happy to answer questions. Condo was very clean and comfortable! Kitchen was stocked nicely. A new set of pots and pans would be a great purchase! A few 3M hooks in the shower would be awesome for hanging suits to dry. Maybe a crate on the deck to leave a few beach toys? Overall we will definitely book again if our dates work out!
