Superb location

We couldn't have asked for more for our stay at the beach. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the kitchen and living area are large enough and well-equipped. Being able to walk out the back door and being right at the beach was amazing for the whole group.

Check in had problems with no password to get in Had to call owner. inside was ok but needed one BR on the first floor for grandparents. Red covering on furniture in great room was not clean. Kitchen was small but fine. Outside pool was tiny. more of a play pool not for swimming. Overall ok and we liked being so close to the water.

Late Summer Family Trip

We booked this home for my daughter's 6th birthday family beach trip. The property was great. There was adequate parking and the house was well furnished, equipped, and very spacious. Shae was very responsive with inquiries and a delight to do business with. The location was quiet and the private beach was very nice as well!

Fun Family Week

We had a fantastic stay at Salty Pelican. The location is wonderful. Close to Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks restaurants. We enjoyed being directly on the beach. The kids could go to and from the beach easily. The little pool ended up being a favorite for the kids. The kitchen is well stocked. We also enjoyed the family room being large enough for our family to relax and play games. We are looking forward to returning. Thanks for sharing your home.

Great home for our large family.

We loved being able to walk our and right down to the beach, the children loved being able to swim in the deck pool as well as play on the beach. Our only suggestions would be to upgrade the grill, as it is not big enough to accommodate the large families that rent the property and put a direct water line from the hot water heater to the washer (if water running anywhere else in the house, it will not fill and trips a code). Yes we will be back and Shae was amazing to work with!

We enjoyed our stay and the location and weather were great!! Recommendations….the kitchen was poorly equipped (no pot holders, the knives were dull), lack of comfortable outdoor furniture, weak WiFi reception, insufficient towels and wash cloths (found others on last day left in washer) hot water heater alarm kept going off during the night). Did contact owner and they responded quickly.

Great week at the beach!

The house was awesome! It had everything we needed plus so much more. The beach was at our doorstep. Great living area big enough for our 10 adults and 6 children. The walk-in showers were nice. Plenty of beach chairs and accessories. Great location. Because there were no closets in the bedrooms, it would have been nice to have a few hooks for hanging clothes. Well stocked kitchen, but we missed the can opener, measuring cups, etc. in the island drawer until late in the week because it didn’t have a handle. It didn’t look like a drawer. All in all, a great week!

Had a great stay. 9 adults and 7 kids. Beach is about 100 steps. Have added a picture of the pool. It is small but the kids had a blast. In the picture you’ll see 8, 10, and 12 year olds. Gives you a little insight on the pool. Everything you need to cook with is available. Host was always available. Would not hesitate to book again.

Great family vacation!

This location was perfect for our family of eight adults and three children (8 and under). We had a wonderful stay which included dolphin watching, building sand structures, crabbing at night and the grandchildren loved the little pool. The house was clean and welcoming. Communication with the owner was excellent. Would highly recommend this property.

Good location, but property has issues

This property has potential, but needs attention. The house was not clean, the AC upstairs stopped working, and there were visible issues with the house. The thermostats kept kicking back to high temps and we were hot all week. But!! Can’t beat the location, the beach is beautiful and not crowded in that area, the owner was easy to get in touch with and was responsive to the issues we had.

Family Vacay

We enjoyed our stay ! The location and convenience to the beach was perfect ! Beds were super comfy but we did feel like the house could use a good deep clean . I realize it’s peak season and turn around time is short but baseboards and walls could use a good wipe down as well as cleaning under all furniture .

Great family vacation!

Family vacation with 8 adults and 3 children ages 7 to 9. The house was perfect for us, just steps from a beautiful private beach area. The pool was small but the kids loved it. Had an issue with the washing machine caused by a previous guest. The host immediately let us know and even though it was Memorial Day weekend, was able to rectify the situation with no inconvenience to us whatsoever. Will definitely be returning!!

We had the best time this last week at this house!! Perfect set up for a big group with ours ranging from 6 years old to 56 years old! House was exactly as listed and so beautiful! We did notice the pool wasn’t working correctly so I messaged the owner and she called me within minutes and had the pool guy there that same day to fix it! We will definitely be booking this house again in the future!
