Gorgeous Ocean Views - 1 min walk to beach access!
Welcome to "The Pelican" condo in Atlantic Beach, NC. Our place is clean and comfortable and supplied with everything you need including TVs in each bedroom, high-speed wireless internet, and a chef's kitchen. Fresh bed linens are provided free of charge as are bath towels, washcloths, and beach towels - pay attention to other rentals where these items are additional charges. We also do not charge you for additional guests up to the 6 maximum limit. I can't stand staying at places that nickel and dime me with more charges.
See the extensive list below of items you do not have to pack. We are equipped for you to be able to fly in with your personal items and the condo has everything you need for your enjoyment for a week or more at the beach! Also, our place is professionally cleaned and disinfected after each guest stays.
Large open 1-level floor plan (we have an elevator so no stairs required), 3 BR / 2 full bathrooms (2 queen beds and 2 twin). All one level on the 2nd floor of the building with ELEVATOR access. Large chef's kitchen with everything you need to prepare great meals. Open kitchen, dining and family room with lots of light and views of the ocean. Large balcony to enjoy ocean views (ocean views in 9 out of 13 windows).
Our condo community is small, so the pool won't have crowds. Note that only guests accounted for on the guest form, that are staying at the condo, can use the pool. There are only 2 buildings with 9 units each. Our pool is perfect for families with small children or to sun and chill. It is not a party pool.
We are located across the street from the beach with beautiful ocean views and walking distance (1 minute) to 2 beach access points, 3 restaurants, a few shops and a craft beer pub including Molly's Beach Bar & Grill where you can enjoy a light meal or a drink sitting on the DoubleTree Hotel Pier with awesome views.
We bought this place at end of 2020 and decided that we wanted it to be the best of what we have found in other rentals that we have stayed in. In the kitchen, we have spices, seasonings, condiments in the frig, and starter coffee k-cups. We cook - so the kitchen is full of the items you if you want to prepare your favorite meals. We have comfortable furniture to sit on and easy beach access. We have a beach cart to make it easy to bring things from your car up the elevator to the condo (we keep this one sand-free) and we have another one dedicated to the beach to make your beach days easy. We always longed to find a place at the beach that we could rent each year and "know" what we were getting, - and for it to feel like a home away from home. I hope this will meet that for you!
For those who may need to work while here, we have an office chair, small desk setups that can be used, and high-speed wireless internet. I work here for weeks at a time during the off-season of spring and fall.
If you rent our condo, we ask that you respect the peace and privacy of your neighbors. Most of our neighbors live in their condos and do not rent them.
2 PARKING SPACES ONLY: Note that our HOA has restricted us not only to 2 parking spaces per unit but for the same 2 cars only staying at the condo for the duration of your stay. The 2 cars listed on your HOA form are the only 2 cars authorized to be on the property.
A 3rd car is not allowed per HOA rules. We do NOT have space to accomodate a 3rd car - please do not ask and I do not know of any place for the 3rd car to park. Sorry but this happened multiple times last year...
NO PETS: Also note that this is a NO PETS property. Our HOA doesn't allow guest pets and more importantly, I'm highly allergic and have asthma. If you show up with any animal, you will be asked to leave immediately and will incur furniture & carpet cleaning charges (approx $300) and a deep cleaning general clean charge (approx $300) and a lost income charge at $300 per day for the lost income days.
PROVIDED ITEMS (at least in starter quantities): Sheets for the beds Bath towels Full-size shampoo/conditioner and body wash sanitized after each guest Kitchen towels & sponge Beach Towels - 1 for each guest Beach chairs Various boogie boards, sand toys, beach toys and pool toys Indoor games, puzzles, etc Toilet paper Paper towels Brita water filter pitcher A few K-cups for coffee and coffee accessories - so you don't have to run out first thing to the grocery store Laundry detergent Hand dishwashing detergent Automatic dishwashing detergent Kitchen garbage bags Various cooking supplies, spices, seasonings and refrigerator condiments
Guests will need to fill out a guest form & the short term lease agreement for the condo association 1 week prior to arrival at the latest so we can email it to the HOA.
This is a keyless property. You get an access code for the condo and the storage room access below on the bottom level and never have to keep up with keys.

Sherrie’s place was in a perfect location for a week of fun! She was a gracious and attentive host. Everything was just as described and my family loved the condo. Access to the beach was convenient and we loved the beach gear provided for us. Would definitely return!
Just a great place and great time. This is the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. Everything you need in the condo and a great location. Stay here. You won't regret it!
The property was exactly as shown, tons of room for everybody. It was very clean! The beach is right across the road & the property was within walking distance to a lot of things. It had all we needed and more, stocked kitchen and tons of beach gear. My family had an amazing week here & would highly recommend!
Communication prior to our trip was great. Sherrie also commute with us the week prior to check-in and the day of check-in to make sure that we had all the information that we needed. The condo is beautiful and very clean! We had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and gather together for family game night. Beach access was very easy and having the beach wagon with chairs and toys was great as we did not have to bring anything. We had most of our meals in the condo and everything we needed to prepare the meals was present. I would highly recommend this rental and look forward to visiting again in the near future!
One of the best rentals we have stayed in. Sherrie has it covered from anything in the kitchen to beach items! Just bring yourselves and make a quick stop at the grocery and you are off to the beach which is just a quick walk across the street. We enjoyed our stay in Atlantic Beach and will be back again!
We had a party of 5 with one 10 yr old child. The place was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had easy access to the beach just accross the street. The owner was very hospitable. We all enjoyed the stay very much and the weather was great too.
Great place all around! Perfect for our family including our Son, Daughter in law and 3 year old twins. Along with the proximity to the beach, The Pelican had everything we needed from bedrooms, kitchen/ living space to beach chairs and toys. So well thought out. Would love to visit again.

Thank you Lori - we would love to have you stay again.
We had a wonderful time at Sherrie’s condo in Atlantic Beach. The place is exactly as described.
It’s clean, well stocked, and has easy access to the beach. It was so convenient to have so much provided for us (towels, linens, beach gear, etc). Sherrie was easy to communicate with and addressed any questions promptly. We highly recommend this for families looking to stay in Atlantic Beach.
My family and I had an excellent stay here. The owner was very accommodating and provided so many extra’s like beach towels, beach cart, shampoo, soap, beach toys etc.. we had everything we needed! She was also very easy to communicate with. Check in and checkout was simple and stress free. The view of the ocean from the balcony was nice as well as the very short walk to the beach. The condo is clean and spacious. We hope to stay again soon!
Sherrie was an amazing host. The property was clean, beautiful and well stocked with anything you could think of for cooking and making your stay like home. If you could want any anything else consider yourself never satisfied. The amenities were above reproach, I've been staying down here for years and this is our finest experience. I encourage all to come and stay with Sherrie.

Thank you for your comments! I always hope to provide an experience and stay where you are comfortable and feel at home.
The place was just as described, not having to pack and bring a lot of the normal extras (towels, beach stuff,…) helped reduce the packing and travel stress so we could focus on relaxing :) The weather was perfect, the location just a short walk to the beach and all the extras (cabana and beach cart especially) made the beach time so enjoyable! We enjoyed family time, playing games, dinners together. Thank you!! We plan to be back!
We absolutely loved the condo. Being on the 2nd floor was really nice. The elevator was a plus and worked perfect. The condo was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a family of 6. I was overly pleased with all the kitchen essentials the owners accommodate with and all the beach accessories they provide for our stay. It truly made a stress-free trip. Thank you for allowing us to stay and we will definitely be back again. I enjoyed the location and just everything about it. Even the pool was clean, and everyone is truly nice there.
Second year we have stayed in the condo. Owner keeps updating the furnishings and very comfortable.
Actually I would not expect anything but first class and cleanliness of the property. The only minor complaint is the beach buggie was not clean and soda cans left in the holders from last renters.
Thank you Sherrie, and would like to return next season.

Thanks for the nice comments and I’ll make sure the cleaning service adds the beach wagon in the storage room to their check list!
We absolutely loved our week at Pelican Point! Sherrie has thought of everything and provides a few special touches!
The condo was so welcoming - very clean, bath towels and beach towels laid out for each guest and a bottle of prosesco and a bouquet of fresh flowers awaited us!
The kitchen is so well stocked with everything you may need. The kitchen, dining area and living room are very open and roomy.
We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the ocean and also walking to the end of the road to to watch sunrises and sunsets on the pier on the sound.
It’s a quick walk to the beach and the beach accessories are awesome - chairs, coolers, beach toys, a wonderful cabana that is easy to set up and best of all a beach cart to get everything to that beach easily.
We loved, loved, loved our 2022 family vacation at Pelican Point at Atlantic Beach!!
We were out in Atlantic Beach for a family vacation. We traveled from Los Angeles and had found this VRBO property online, we had never been to this area.
When we arrived we noticed, prior to us actually getting into the condo, the beach access was only a minute away which was very nice. The daily trips to the beach would be very easy.
The condo itself made an instant impression as the entrance hallway lead to a wide open space with a full kitchen, dining area, and family room, along with bar stools at a large kitchen island. Even though we were across the street from the beach, you could see the ocean from a large living room window. There was also a porch that provided a view of the ocean.
The kitchen came with more than enough cooking, eating, and, especially, glassware. More than enough for our trip.
This might not seem relevant to some, but the dining table was able to hold eight (8) individuals around an expanding table. This allowed us to enjoy meals around the table along with having our in-laws join us for dinner, who live in the area. Like the kitchenware, we have stayed at properties that accommodated six (6) adults to sleep but had a table that only was big enough for four (4) and maybe a counter top with two (2) chairs. This property did not disappoint!!!!!!
Additionally, the property provided necessary beach items, chairs, shades and a shade structure, so we did not have to worry.
We loved the place and look to staying again in the future.

Thank you for all your kind words James. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. I look forward to hosting you again!
The condo unit was beautifully furnished and so comfortable! We loved the open kitchen, living and dining room space. The ocean view from the balcony was wonderful! The owners always responded quickly to my inquiries. We will definitely rent this condo again.
Ideal location. Very nice owner who responded quickly, nice furnishings, everything is provided. You can walk to the beach in less than 5 mins. A plus stay and we hope to come back!
More than expected not your common rental. Great location, short walk to beach and everything you needed for the beach. Am going to rent next year same date if possible. Again thank you for everything.

About the host
Hosted by Sherrie
We bought the condo in the fall of 2020 in the middle of the first year of covid. I'd been working from home for many months when we decided to take a family beach trip to this area with my grown sons. It was so nice here that we went out looking at condos and this was the 1st place we saw. We immediately loved it. I was looking for a place we could enjoy ourselves for years to come. I now spend weeks each spring and fall at the beach condo enjoying working from the beach with an ocean view and get to go out in the evening to take a beach walk and watch the amazing sunsets from the beach. This is a slice of heaven.
Why they chose this property
Atlantic Beach is convenient to the triangle area of central NC, and it's a great place to vacation. Beautiful beaches and I love the fact that this island runs east to west and faces south. This gives it the unique setting to see sunrises and sunsets from the beach side of the island during the spring and fall. There are so many outdoor activities to do in this area that we could spend years doing them all.
What makes this property unique
Great ocean views with sunshine and views from most windows (9 out of 13). Large inviting balcony and on the sand in 1 minute. It's an open floor plan and feels spacious, not cramped like many beach rentals.
After purchasing, we have found even more things to love about this place. It's all 1 level with an elevator - so no stairs. It's convenient to everything and walkable to many places (restaurants and shops). Being a small condo community we don't have to share the pool with many and we never have to fight for parking. Across the street is the doubletree hotel with a terrific pier to watch the sunsets.
