Another wonderful stay at Pelican Cottage! Deb and Ed are great hosts. The cottage is in the best location on Lido—-a quiet street within walking distance to St. Armand’s Circle. It’s charming and equipped with everything you will need. The pool is an added bonus when you get tired of the 2 minute walk to the beach!

Perfect location to circle and short walk to beach. Awesome balance of shared space and ability to spread out. I loved getting a few hours of work done on the patio by the pool, watching the sun rise. Deb was super responsive when we had an issue with the lock pad battery getting low- and checked to make sure we were good.

This was perfect for our family group. The kids loved the pool and there was lots of space inside as well. The bedrooms are large and there’s three bathrooms, which is great when you have that many kids with you. The owners were very communicative and very helpful.
