Great experience!!!!!!!!

My cousins and I came down to nettles to visit my grandmother and stay for the week, so much better than a hotel, the place was spotless and they had everything I needed to go to the beach and pool including towels, hats, beach chairs etc. everybody is very friendly, there’s a nice secluded porch with a umbrella, air conditioning was so refreshing after being in 90-100 degree weather! Phil was such a nice guy and checked on me during the week to make sure I was happy and really made me feel like we were at home! Whenever I had questions about anything he would respond right away. I will definitely be back! Thank you again!

Wonderful stay!

Everything was perfect. The home was great and was stocked with a lot of things we didn’t expect. The amenities on Nettles Island were great with tennis, pickle ball and an amazing pool. We were visiting our son and grandkids and look forward to staying here every time we’re in town.

Mini vacay

The Lazy Pelican was comfortable and spacious for 4ppl and a small pet. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and dishes etc. Good water pressure and A/C, very cute neighborhood. Easy access to private beach,(across from Ocean drive) pool, breakfast area and rec facilities. We had a couple questions and contacted Brenda (Owners mom), she responded very promptly, and it was a pleasure meeting her. She gave us a little history of Nettles Island. Would def return, we all had a great time, wish our stay was longer. - Good Italian food at Surfside on Ocean Drive :)

The Best Hosts Ever!

Perfect home in a perfect setting for us! Phil, Desiree & Pam treated us like family during a very stressful time. We had discovered mold in our condo and were unable to stay there until the remediation was complete. When we learned that our contractor needed more time, Phil graciously extended our stay at the same rate even though this area has moved into "season" which demands a much higher rate. Pam, who lives on Nettles Island, even offered to pick up & dry our laundry when their brand new dryer died. Who does that! Cute, light filled renovation - extremely comfortable & sparkling clean with every kitchen appliance anyone would ever need. You also can't beat Nettles Island for fun and ocean relaxation. I'd rate everything an extra star if I could!!!

Perfect!

We had last minute mandatory evacuation orders from Tampa for hurricane Ian and all hotels / properties were completely booked up. Being 9 months pregnant this caused extreme stress in itself, then add having nowhere to go. Luckily we found Phil and Desiree’s place and words could never express the relief! Not only did they accommodate our last minute need for somewhere stay, they went above and beyond with communication and ensuring we were well taken care of the entire time. It was even nicer to arrive to such a beautiful and quiet area given all the chaos leaving our home. The place itself is very well kept, clean and up to date! The community is equally as perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better home away from home or for better hosts! Thank you would never be enough but it’s a start! Thank you!!!! We hope to be back soon for a very REAL, well planned vacation after our little boy arrives.

A Gorgeous Getaway!

We booked this property pretty last minute, as we had an unexpected change in our travel plans. We were so happy with this beautiful place, it was perfect for our family of 4, and we were so lucky it was available! The kids loved the bunk beds, and having access to both pools, the beach, and the activities center, there was no shortage of things to do. It was very clean and inviting and a super simple check in/out process, as well. The owners were very quick to respond when contacted with questions and helpful with recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this cozy cottage, and will definitely be keeping this in mind the next time we are vacationing in this area! Thank you Phil and Desiree!

The Lazy Pelican Experience

We enjoyed this rental property immensely. It was spacious, clean and had many new appliances. Everything was, as shown in the rental advertisement. The owner was extremely helpful with any of our needs and checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed. He even allowed us to stay a couple extra days since the place was not rented. We expecially enjoyed the location because it was halfway between the ocean and inter-coastal waterway, basically the pools. The island grocer was right there for our mediate grocery needs. Especially breakfast and coffee if we wanted it. We spent the majority of the time outside between the deck, the pools and the ocean. Looking forward to next year, will certainly again attempt to rent this property.

Great stay for fam with young children

Rented the house for 9 days in March. We have been coming to Hutchinson Island for many years, but this was our first stay on Nettles Island. We were fortunate to find Phil and Desirees place for our stay. We have 2 young children (both under 4), so convenience to sand and water and the ability to cook meals in a nice place was a priority. We found both and then some with this home. The house has been updated with what seems like new everything (floors, kitchen, beds etc) and has a nice open plan for our little ones to move about without any hazards. We used the golf cart to get around every day which was a huge perk. The hosts were super nice, very responsive and accommodating to any question or request we had. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
