Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Apr 2025
Guilty as charged, we are required by the fire department to remove it because it obstructs the egress path in the event of a fire. Thats why we put a single recliner in instead. Chuck

Pelican cove

We enjoyed our stay and the space was quaint with a nice view of the water. Cooling system was lacking as you could not view the thermostat tucked under a counter and it was supplemented by a small separate fan in front of it on a stool to “push” cool air in to the room. They should update the cooling system so guests can adjust thermostat and not have a fan with it’s noise and air constantly running. Nice grounds to walk and delightful greenhouse to enjoy. Owner was very sweet and thoughtful.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 June 2020
Thank you for sharing your time and comments with us here at the Hideaway. Sorry for the Air Conditioner, that was a temporary unit while the part for the state of the art ground cooled Geo-Thermal unit arrived. I'm happy to say the permanent A/C is fixed and can put you and yours in the comfort zone to enjoy the entire home and surrounding grounds on the warmest days. We are always appreciative of our guests suggestions particularly on how to give you and yours a better stay here at the Hideaway. Sincerely, Chuck

A fabulous setting on a quiet bayou with spectacular sunset views. The private balcony area complete with table and chairs is an excellent place to chill out as was the landing dock area, again with seating to relax and get a closer view of the bayou and the wildlife.

A short but sweet stay.

We only had 2 nights and enjoyed them tremendously. Our place was small but served our needs well. Chuck was very nice and helpful and responded quickly to our questions. Oh, and I loved the red refrigerator and sitting on the dock at night.

Exceeded Expectations!

We needed a place to stay for a long weekend. The hotel prices had sky rocketed so I looked here and found that The Pelican's Nest at The Hideaway was available. The photos don't do the nest justice!. It was a cozy spot with everything we needed. I loved every morning walking out on the deck on the pretty bayou. And it was convenient to where we wanted to go. Chuck, the owner, was on-site and friendly.. Highly recommend!

Beautiful studio apartment.

My Sister and I enjoyed the tree house deck . We had a birds eye view of the bay. Nice owner, very friendly . He took care of noise from loud music from another apartment below us. Helped me get a kayak in and out of the water. His family was very nice too. Nice washer and dryer. Everything was provided. The owner Chunk ask if we needed more coffee or toiletries. Those are things we are use to buying wherever we have stayed . I have already booked our Christmas vacation here for 2020. Safe and very clean !

Best vacation ever!!

This place was amazing! The owner was friendly and very accommodating. We had everything we needed, and if we needed something else he was right there to take care of us. He showed us around the property personally, and made lots of fun activities available for us. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. Very convenient location to restaurants, activities and the beaches. What a gem this place was!!
