Great location, loved having the beach close (frequent visited one on Spooky Lane) and pool just behind the house. House was fairly well furnished but need more than 1 dish towel and good mold cleaning. Overall, it was great! Would recommend staying here.

Great Vacation Home

Pelican Paradise was a nice place to stay. The home was spacious and clean. Located in a gated community, the neighborhood was quiet. The neighborhood pool was right next door, which was nice. Being pet friendly was important and the home had a fenced back yard that our dogs could use. The amenities worked, The only issue was the refrigerator water dispenser did not work. Very minor. I recommend Pelican Paradise for any large family.

Spring break

This was the perfect place to bring out teenage daughters and their friends. Everyone had plenty of space and quick access to pool and beach. Which gave them lots of freedom to do as they please. There was only one dish towel in the kitchen which made cleaning up really difficult and no dust pan for the broom so we had a hard time getting the sand off the floor, but other than that everything was right where we needed it to be.

Practically perfect!

Overall, the house is exactly as described. The neighborhood has several pools and has very quick access to the beach. The house had plenty of room for our party (3 families with 2 kids in each family) and had all the amenities and supplies we needed for the week. We rented a golf cart and that made the (really) short commute to the beach fun for the kids. Communication with the property manager could not have been better. They were super quick to respond and were always friendly and helpful. The only complaint our group has were the dining room chairs… there were several toe injuries. Seriously, wonderful house would 100% rent here and recommend to anyone looking!

Nice but falling apart

The facility was very nice, however, beds were really hard, pillows were flat (so I recommend bringing your own) and we found a lot of things were in need of repair or were broken. The neighborhood said it was kid friendly and pet friendly but the backyard was not very big for the dogs and there was nothing for the kids to do except go to the beach, because of being in December, the pool was open but very cold and not heated.

Great Location, but...

This is a great location, walkable to the beach and many eating spots! There was more than enough room for our extended family of 8 to be comfortable. However, the house needs a thorough deep cleaning, including carpet cleaning or replacement with large spots throughout the house. The floor mirror in the primary bedroom had dust so thick it was difficult to wipe off and the primary bathroom had a gnat infestation. Ceiling fans are caked with dust. It feels the house is "wiped" over but not cleaned. We had to buy bleach for the kitchen drain due to a foul smell and coffee maker stayed with "clean" alert. The dining room chairs are a hazard for the toes! One bed needs to be replaced, it was not sturdy and very wobbly for just one person. The majority of the blinds do not work, so they are a hassle to open and close - there are many! We made the place work for our short stay but would not stay here again. Needs some TLC!

Perfect for families

Overall, the house was perfect for our large family vacation. We had three kids who stayed in the loft room with the day bed and bunk beds and it was a perfect little space for them, as well as enough rooms for 3 couples, our mother, and an infant. Absolutely loved the gated front porch. We had the door open and people and dogs in and out on that porch all day long. An outdoor shower in front really made it feel like a beach house, where we could come in from the beach and wash off before going in. We were so close to beach access too, it basically took 5 minutes to walk across 30A. We made family meals every night in the kitchen. Typical for most rental houses, but the kitchenware situation is lacking, so we had to make do with a weird assortment of pans/pots, tupperware, and other kitchen items. I did notice the house was tidy when we arrived but wasn’t the cleanest. I only noticed because we have an actively crawling infant, so we were immediately on our hands and knees with him on the floor, and our feet/hands were black with dirt from day 1. However, I loved this beach trip so much and the house had a lot to do with it—perfect location, great old florida charm, and awesome beachy amenities.
