About this property
Pelican's Perch - Ocean Views! Beach is Right Across the Street!
If you're looking for a centrally-located house with abundant ocean views and easy beach access that's not far from anything on Pleasure Island, then look no further. Pelican's Perch's 2nd row center island location is just 1/4 mile from the Kure Beach and Carolina Beach line. You can walk diagonally across the street to our community's private beach access with gazebo, or ride a bike to any location on the island. Our main living area is on the top floor which gives awesome views of the ocean and also the colorful homes in the neighborhood. Ample decks outside the 2nd floor bedrooms and the upper floor living area give the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, enjoy the ocean view with a good book in hand, or just enjoy each other's company with the nice view and ocean breeze. The entire ground floor deck with an outdoor shower is surrounded by lattice for privacy. It's hidden from view and offers some shielding from the morning sun, but you can still see out and feel the ocean breeze. The garage area contains various bikes and beach supplies to help make your stay more fun. A ping pong table and a video game system will provide some indoor fun on rainy days or when you've had enough sun for the day. When the day is done, then sleep in comfort in the nicely-decorated 4 bedrooms equipped with queen beds, dreaming about what the next day on the island will bring.
Pelican's Perch isn't just a rental - It's our second home, and we're continually improving it so that it will be the best it can be. We love this home's 2nd row location and beautiful ocean views, and it is situated so conveniently to all points on the island. We believe Pelican's Perch is one of the best second row homes on the island, and we hope that you will enjoy staying there as much as we do.
Please read the following important information before booking a stay in Pelican's Perch:
There is a 3 day minimum stay with no specific required day of check-in or check-out during most of the year except for the summer high rental season. During that time there is a 7 day minimum stay running from Saturday to Saturday. When booking, feel free to send us a message including any questions that would be relevant to your group's needs. If you're planning to bring a furry friend, then we are dog-friendly. We allow up to two small and well-behaved dogs, up to 25 lbs each. Dogs are the only pets we allow and each dog must be approved by us prior to your arrival. No dogs over 25 lbs, cats, or other animals will be allowed.
Also remember that Pelican's Perch is a non-smoking house both inside and outside on any of the decks.

About the host
Hosted by Gary and Tracy Walker
We are Gary and Tracy Walker. We live in Western North Carolina and have a love of the Carolinas' coast. We have especially loved the Wilmington area for years and had dreamed of owning a home near there and the beaches. As of 2015 that dream became a reality.
Pelican's Perch is now our home away from home and the place in which we plan to live when we retire. Both of us are graduates of Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Currently Gary works in sales and Tracy is a RN employed by the State of NC. We have two great young adult "kids", plus our little dog, Charlie. We very much appreciate our vacation renters and we strive to make their experience the best it can be.

Why they chose this property
Kure Beach, Carolina Beach, and the Wilmington area in general make up some of our very favorite places. We love the weather, the people, the beaches, the food, the live music, and the abundant nature and wildlife of Pleasure Island. The intracoastal waterway, marina, and boat access areas are just perfect for boating enthusiasts. Nearby Wilmington provides a cool downtown scene and Riverwalk with excellent food and drinks overlooking the Cape Fear River. Pelican's perch is situated on the island's second row of beach homes, which means the beach is right across the street. Simply put, it's just a perfect location in a wonderful place.
What makes this property unique
We believe that Pelican's Perch beach house is among the best houses on the island. Its location right between the town centers of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach makes it very convenient to all points of either town, and both towns offer their own charming personalities and attractions. On each end of the island there are stretches of undeveloped beach that you can actually drive your 4 wheel drive vehicle on. There's an access fee but these beaches are a sight to behold. To the north is Freeman Park where fun-loving people flock to party, fish, and camp right with their vehicles on the beach. On the south end is the more family-friendly State Park where alcohol is not allowed and you'll see a bit more nature. If you've got a 4 wheel drive then these rare beach-driving areas are sure to please. You don't have to drive anywhere to enjoy a beach, though. Pelican's Perch is across the street from the community's private beach access and gazebo. When we say the house is just steps from the beach we really mean it! One of the best and least-crowded strands of beach on the island is right there for you to enjoy. The house's 2nd row corner location means you also have direct access to the neighborhood streets that are off the higher-traffic main road. That's worth a lot for relaxing bike rides or for taking the "back way" to bypass heavy main road traffic when going out. You don't have to pay ocean front prices because it's on the second row, but because of the beach access area you get a very nice ocean view from the second or third floor decks. You also get an excellent ocean view from the main living and dining area since that's on the 3rd floor. The bedrooms' being on the 1st and 2nd floor makes for easier work carrying in luggage, and the ocean can be seen from a couple of bedrooms. No matter what you like most about the island, we believe that a stay in Pelican's Perch will make your family want to return again and again
