Over all the stay ok. We got in the pool at night but there was a lot of mosquitoes, other than that, the pool was pretty. The parking for our suite wasn't clearly marked like the others so we weren't sure if we were parked in the correct spot or not. The pictures from the website of the pier are nothing the same. We thought the pier was easily accessible from the place, it was actually located across the street a little farther than expected. It's a nice place to stay if you're not expecting to walk to the pier.

Pelican Bay is always a perfect escape for our family. The lodge was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We loved how peaceful the property felt, surrounded by nature, yet just a short drive to nearby restaurants and shops. We had a blast fishing off the pier and playing in the pool, while we enjoyed relaxing by the water. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for families looking to unplug, reconnect, and enjoy a peaceful relaxing stay!

Substandard property

Gum, candy wrappers, and pet food in abundance under edge of bed. No wifi signal. No remote to operate tv. Light switch broken so light didn’t work. The office closes at 5 pm so no service after that. Nobody to call about missing remote. I’m surprised Hotels.com would advertise this property-it is substandard. I won’t say it was terrible because it could be worse. Maybe one tier above a flophouse. Definitely not at the Hotels.com standard.

So I wanted to like this property but…check-in was interesting. I went to the office and was told that I would get an email with the door code. I drove to the unit but no code came. Plus someone was parked in the spot for my unit. I drove back to the office. The man working the front desk asked me to describe the car and then determined it was likely a staff member’s car. As for the door code, he seemed irritated with digital software but wrote down the door code for me. Once we got parked on the correct space and got inside. We were met with a heavily stained carpet and room with dirt and dust prevalent. The beds were fine just very old linens that had been heavily used. The cleanliness of the unit was subpar.

The gentleman in the office was very nice & welcoming. Cottages and rooms are very cozy and clean. The short walk to private pier was very convenient. Even fishing on the pier at night, you feel safe knowing only guests have access. The pool was relaxing too. This was a beautiful, peaceful stay. Will definitely book again when in area.
