Amazing home with awesome views! Was kind of disappointed in the condition of the swimming pool upon arrival... the liner was coming off and the pool was full of grime. Other than that, the place was amazing! Fortunately the pool crew came on Monday and cleaned the pool, then returned on Friday to patch some of the liner

We had 8 adults and 4 kids. The property was very nice and the houses were perfect for us. I loved that the main house had so many utensils in the kitchen, it was just like being at home. The pool was clean but a little cold. The kids loved the dock and the dock house. We had one issue and the realty company responded immediately. The issue was user error so they solved it over the phone. Everyone loved the place and I would recommend it.

Paradise at Pelican Bay

This home and it's property is absolutely gorgeous! There was more than enough room for all of us. Both of the cabins were perfect for our family with babies. As soon as we walked in the front door, we were all overwhelmed by the decorative pieces that made the house feel so relaxing!! We absolutely have NO complaints and are grateful you allowed us to make beautiful memories in your home.. We hopefully will return i. The future!

Pelican Bay, a great place to relax & make great memories.

Nine of us stayed at Pelican Bay and there was plenty of room for everyone, including our mini schnauzer. The kitchen was well-stocked and big enough for us to cook meals together. We truly enjoyed eating in the screened in patio. It’s also a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee.We knew the pool isn’t heated but due to the tremendous amount of leaves that kept blowing in it, we didn’t find it enjoyable to swim in.Other than that, everything was perfect!

Great house

The only con for us. Pool is not heated. Water was too low to fish off the dock and parking a pontoon boat was tricky. Besides that this was a perfect house for the 9 of us. Located just far enough from the spring breakers but not to far to run to the store or dinner. VERY clean and loved the beds. Very quiet area.

Great private get away

From check in to check out, this was a great experience. A beautiful, well cared for property with plenty of space for everyone. The purpose of our trip was for us to get together as a family, and for my father to meet his grand dogs. If you’ve been looking, you’ve run into many places that had weight limits for your dogs. I’m so glad that this place was so welcoming. My mother loved it so much that she already wants to plan another trip here, and she’s not easy to please. We would definitely come back.
