My family had a lovely stay at pelican Cove. Though the property needs some updates, the furniture was comfortable, and the living area was spacious. The bedrooms are cosy and the beds were comfortable. The upper deck area was great to hang out in, but is not physically separated from the condo walkway/stairs if you have small children or pets. The outdoor area is such that you don’t need to go to the bar to enjoy the music in the evenings.
We had a great time at this property. Weather didn't cooperate but between the selection of games movies and karaoke that were available it made it tolerable. The location is amazing. It was walking distance to everything Dewey Beach has to offer. One thing I think should be clear in the listing is that it is connected to other condos in the rear. The pictures don't show that. Otherwise everything from check in to check out was simple and easy.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The location was the selling point for this property. Being on the bay and only 2 blocks from the ocean was a huge perk. The few things that made this property odd were the shared balcony with all the other units that were attached to this unit, which was not really listed as such. Also the 2nd bathroom being in the primary bedroom made it a bit odd for the other two bedrooms to utilize, requiring a trip down the stairs to access the other restroom. As with all homes anymore the upstairs was much warmer, by 4 degrees, than the downstairs making it uncomfortable while sleeping. Just as a note for overall sound, you can hear the bars/bands in the evening from the bedrooms.
Overall the property was nice and you can sort of manage to deal with these aspects for a week since the location was supreme.
The positives... distance to restaurants , the beach, & the strip, beautiful views, spacious LR seating, updated appliances, & Kim at BHHS was a pleasure to work with. Now for the rest... the deck is not private as noted. It is one big deck that is accessible to the other units on the property & the couch & chairs shown for the unit were all used by them - right outside of the room & patio door that connects to it. We arrived over Memorial Day weekend & one of our assigned parking spaces were taken by guests not in our party & again by other cars when we would leave & return. The parking is very tight & you will need to park outside of the block in permit areas if none is available. There is a restaurant/club just a few spaces over from the property that has dance music thumping well past 1am that vibrates throughout the house. We didn't mind this, but if you have small children or elderly people in your party as we did, it might not be pleasant for them. Many of the blind slats on the main floor are missing or broken & other guests can & will look in on you as we experienced. The ensuite room upstairs does not appear to be connected to the central air system & it was difficult to keep the windows open with other guests talking right outside until the early morning. I understand you can't control the actions of others as an owner or manager, but overall this unfortunately was not the most pleasant experience.

Reviewer Comments:
Our party of six were very comfortable at this property. While the property is a little worn, it was very clean and and all items in working order. Livingroom had room for us to spread out. |The property is close enough to walk to some restaurants and 3 blocks to the beach. The dock was a plus allowing us to crab and fish right at the property.We also enjoyed sitting out on the comfortable 2nd story deck and the "beach" next to the dock area. Communication with the management was great. We got loads of info before our rental about what to expect in the area and about the property. Check-out was easy.

House is definitely dated but overall we had a great experience. The beds are hard so keep that in mind if you have a sensitive back. Location is great. House felt clean. Can’t beat the views. Would stay again!

Out family of 6 had a wonderful visit here. This is the 3rd time we have rented this property for Spring Vacation break. It is 2 miles to Rehoboth boardwalk with all the shops and crowd and activities... And quiet and peaceful for wanting that kind of vacation too. The place was clean, comfortable and the furniture is showing its age a bit. Property management was easy to work with. I would recommend the home because there is a lot of room for everyone to have space, inside and out.
