Great house- great location. Spent a week with family here and it was exactly as described. Loved the separate cottages for our adult children and the screened in porch by the dock was fabulous!!!

Thank you for the wonderful review! Pelican Bay is a beautiful property so I'm very happy to hear that it fit your needs so well. We hope to welcome you again next year.
Amazing home with awesome views! Was kind of disappointed in the condition of the swimming pool upon arrival... the liner was coming off and the pool was full of grime. Other than that, the place was amazing! Fortunately the pool crew came on Monday and cleaned the pool, then returned on Friday to patch some of the liner

Thanks for taking the time to review your stay! We love to hear that you enjoyed the house so much, but we apologize about the condition of the pool upon your arrival. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
We had 8 adults and 4 kids. The property was very nice and the houses were perfect for us. I loved that the main house had so many utensils in the kitchen, it was just like being at home. The pool was clean but a little cold. The kids loved the dock and the dock house. We had one issue and the realty company responded immediately. The issue was user error so they solved it over the phone. Everyone loved the place and I would recommend it.

We absolutely loved Pelican Bay and will be back! The relaxation you feel watching the sunset and sunrise in the screened in porch on the bay is unmatched. The pool area is beautiful and serene. We are already planning next years trip to Pelican Bay.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're happy to hear that we'll be welcoming you again next year for another fantastic stay. We look forward to seeing you then!
We enjoyed this property. Huge areas to sit and converse in the house. Best part was the enclosed sitting area by the bay. Just wished the pool was heated and we had a little trouble finding the place, but overall we highly recommend this property.

This home and it's property is absolutely gorgeous! There was more than enough room for all of us. Both of the cabins were perfect for our family with babies. As soon as we walked in the front door, we were all overwhelmed by the decorative pieces that made the house feel so relaxing!! We absolutely have NO complaints and are grateful you allowed us to make beautiful memories in your home.. We hopefully will return i. The future!

This is awesome news! Thanks for taking the time to review. We hope to welcome you again for your next beach stay!
The property is very nice! It was my first experience using VRBO, so I was a little nervous, my dad and husband love to fish so it was perfect! Other than maybe a heated pool I have no complaints & that’s not something I expected to have! THANK YOU for a place to make great family memories

Pelican Bay, a great place to relax & make great memories.
Nine of us stayed at Pelican Bay and there was plenty of room for everyone, including our mini schnauzer. The kitchen was well-stocked and big enough for us to cook meals together. We truly enjoyed eating in the screened in patio. It’s also a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee.We knew the pool isn’t heated but due to the tremendous amount of leaves that kept blowing in it, we didn’t find it enjoyable to swim in.Other than that, everything was perfect!

Thanks for the 5 star review, Becky! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us but we are sorry about the leaves in the pool. I will look into the issue and reach out to the company that services the pool every week. We hope to welcome you again next year. Thank you for your time!
10 of us stayed @ pelican bay! 6 adults 4 teenagers with plenty of room!
We loved the cottages-they provided plenty of room! The main kitchen is huge & beautiful! We spent most of our time in the boat house! We fished & watched the Bay-we saw a dolphin swim by! We spent lots of time around the pool which is wonderful but could have Ben alittle cleaner-Reed reality was very attentive to tho!
We all loved our vacation & would love to stay again!

Liked: Listing accuracy

Would possibly stay here again if the property was upgraded
This property is nice overall, but needs some TLC. I could make a pretty long list of things I expected to be nicer at this price, but I think the owner could do a walk through and figure it out on their own.

Thanks so much for taking time to post a review. I am glad you guys like Pelican Bay. If you could email us a list of items that need attention, I will happy to get this passed on to the homeowner so we can get these addressed. We are getting close to off season, which will allow us more time to do necessary repairs and deep cleans. We hope to welcome you and your family again soon!
The only con for us. Pool is not heated. Water was too low to fish off the dock and parking a pontoon boat was tricky. Besides that this was a perfect house for the 9 of us. Located just far enough from the spring breakers but not to far to run to the store or dinner. VERY clean and loved the beds. Very quiet area.

From check in to check out, this was a great experience. A beautiful, well cared for property with plenty of space for everyone.
The purpose of our trip was for us to get together as a family, and for my father to meet his grand dogs. If you’ve been looking, you’ve run into many places that had weight limits for your dogs. I’m so glad that this place was so welcoming.
My mother loved it so much that she already wants to plan another trip here, and she’s not easy to please. We would definitely come back.
