no response from owner if we could check in an hour and a half early. multiple elevators were broken down.(upgrading them!) too bad they fixed one of them and it was broken the next day again. Be prepared to pay 300 to sit on rental chairs for the week. you are not allowed to put your personal chairs near the ocean and you will have to sign a contract at check in saying it's ok. building and unit are worn but not in disrepair.. grounds crew kept up with cleaning every day! view was beautiful. can't see sunsets or sunrise from the position of the balcony..
Condo was just as pictured. Resort had lots of amenities. We enjoyed breakfast at the Cafe for the length of our stay. The Location was perfect. Would definitely stay again.
No surprises. It was exactly as advertised. Very enjoyable and an amazing view.

Grout around tub was moldy, shower liner was moldy, sink drain was plugged and my husband fixed it, no batteries in the remotes for the ceiling fans (so we could not use them), under the toilet bowl rims - it was black with mold. Previous garbage bags had leaked and the can was filthy, there was a load of washed wet towels left in the washer which I rewashed and dried, mop boards were dirty, patio door tracks were also not clean.
We loved everything about our stay at Pelican Beach Resort. Shannon and Todd were great hosts, communicating everything we needed ahead of time so we had no questions or concerns during our stay.
The condo was clean, which is a must for a good review from us. It had new appliances and was well furnished with all the little things that make for a great stay. The bed was comfy as was the couch for afternoon naps. The view from the 16th floor is great and beautiful.
The resort was great as well with multiple pools, a tiki bar, and onsite cafe. Like the condo the resort was clean and well kept.
Would definitely stay here again with or without kids next time.

Not a place for young children. 5 rows of umbrellas makes it impossible to watch young children in the surf. Cannot see boats or dolphins due to lack of view. Four elevators for 400 condos results in up to 30 minutes wait for an elevator ride. 7 parking spots for a couple hundred people registering makes for a poor experience. Would not recommend for anyone.

Will not rent again
I will not rent from here again. They have cheap cooking utensils, dishes were put away dirty, pot and pans are old, no matter how much oil/spray you used the food still stuck to the bottom. Wore a new pair of white socks for a few minutes until I noticed the bottom of the socks were filthy. The floor had not been swept or mop before we arrived. The master bathroom shower had to be cleaned before we could use it as there was hair all over the walls. We pulled out the coach to sleep on it to hear the ocean and it was full of food underneath it. Both ceiling fans did not work. The laundry room light did not work. No dish rags to was the dishes, just a sponge even though it stated in the accommodations there would be a dish rag. We didn’t like the layout of the room as the bedroom was by the entry door which was in the back of the condo. We thought the bedroom was located in front off the living room so we could have the window open to hear the ocean and this was not the case.

overall good
Needs updated. Overall we had a nice stay. We weren't in the room unit except to sleep. The bathroom needed cleaned and looked like it needed updated. The walls in the bathroom were the most dirty, the baseboards throughout the unit needed cleaned. Communication with unit manager was good. She answered right away. There was a small roach in one of the drawers in the kitchen. The dryer did not work, and was supposed to be fixed while we were there but it wasn't. We only stayed 3 nights so it wasn't that big of a deal. We didn't bring a whole lot of clothes. The couch in the picture looks newer than the one that is actually in the unit. The mattress in the master bedroom was super soft and it had a mattress topper on it. Not great if you have back problems. The Pelican Beach Resort overall was good thought. The diner they had downstairs was really good. We ate breakfast there all three days. The pools were nice. Parking was easy. The beach was clean. We had a good short stay overall.
Amazing experience! Great location and perfect view of the ocean. Very clean. Easy check-in and check-out process. Communication with Shannon was quick and easy. Highly recommend this rental!!
Very clean. The elevators were horrible and messed up a lot while there but nothing to do with the room. Probably the cleanest room ever stayed in. Very nice and would recommend to anyone.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We enjoyed the frozen 'virgin' drinks from the tiki bar and the convenience of having a restaurant at the condo. The condo had everything that we needed for our stay. We really appreciated having a washer and dryer in the unit too! The only thing that we had a challenge with was the safety rails on the bunkbeds, but we adapted and overcame by placing some pillows against them for more safety and comfort. A big thank you to the owners for sharing your condo with us. :)
