I would say this is a nice place to stay being that it is on the lagoon. Fishing was fun off the pier. One can walk to the beach but it isn’t just a few steps. It had a couple maintenance issues, the grass was tall and they used a weed-eater to cut it down the second day, after I emailed them to please cut it. I felt like it should have been cut when we arrived. The back door handle was broken when we arrived which they would have fixed but we didn’t want maintenance disrupting our vacation. I am not complaining because overall we had a great stay. I would recommend it.

Rested and Relaxed

Loved the location in the lagoon with private beach & dock! House was very clean… I would have preferred a “homier” feel with the furniture/furnishings. Would have been nice to have access to kayaks on the property, too. Overall- we had what we needed and really enjoyed our stay- thank you!

Rest and reset

We had a good stay. Overhead light in the kitchen was burned out. Downstairs toilet needed TLC. We didn’t call maintenance because we didn’t want anyone in the house while we were not there. Nice place, great location. Super enjoyable private bay beach. Neighbors were friendly enough. We had to buy a gate to separate the porch, we brought our dogs and there was no separation. We will book again.

Great Get Away

Loved the location and access to the Little Lagoon and the sandy area for the kids. There is no partition on the deck. That would’ve been nice. But the house was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and so were the pillows.

Wonderful

This was our second stay at The Lazy Pelican. Both times were relaxing, and the house is perfectly situated on the lagoon. We experienced gorgeous sunrises, and as the gulf surf was rough that week, the quieter surf on the lagoon side was perfect for the kids!! They have fun searching for hermit crabs and splashing, and we adults didn’t have to “hover” over the toddler. My husband is recovering from knee replacement, so the bedroom on the first floor was helpful! There was a baby gate, as well, which we used at the top of the stairs.

Overall Great Spot for Family With Young Kids

We had 4 couples and 3 children under the age of 2 staying in the entire property. We happened to vacation during a time of high jellyfish count, so it was nice to have a safe "beach" for the kids to play where we encountered a do-able amount of jellyfish and zero stings. The biggest complaints we had for the property were that the check-in process turned into a bit of a snafu because the door codes wouldn't work on one side of the house and the AC on that side (it's been almost a year, so I'm not sure which) wasn't keeping up so the unit was consistently warm during the day, which would be fine but for napping babies. Still though, we would stay here again.

Lazy Pelican west

We had to buy additional cleaning supplies since the property hadn’t been cleaned very well. You might try mopping the floors in between renters and gaving pest control for the whole unit. Our neighbors to the east had worse problems than we did

Worth it

House was as advertised and in a great location. Best part was the little beach we had on the lagoon…didnt have to walk to the big beach and deal with crowds, jelly fish or rip currents. I suggest taking a boat or jet ski’s or renting them and riding on the lagoon. To the owners, your cleaning crew is not cleaning the ceiling fans or the grate for air conditioner-both are full of dust and grime. You may also consider purchasing another vacuum for the house-the current one does not suck up the sand well at all….mainly scatters it. We enjoyed our trip and the house was nice- would rent again.

Enjoyed fishing/beach options

We had 3 older teenage boys and they loved the options of fishing, kayaking, or going to the beach all week. It was still close enough to all the shopping and diners, but not in a busy area. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all nice size with comfortable furniture. There are two units in this house. All but 3 days the other side was empty. But the last 3 days a family with young children were on the other side. They woke us up every morning running around and yelling. They also took over the small sand area by the boat dock. In the future, we will probably look for a rental that is not shared for this reason. But the rental itself was very nice!

Great location

Lagoon at the back door and the beach was just a 5 minute walk. The house was clean and the air worked so well we had to turn it up over and over. With it being a duplex we were worried about noise from the other side. We were pleasantly surprised and only heard the other side one time the entire stay. We hope they had the same experience with our noise. Only negative was the pictures of the property showed a fire pit on the lagoon side and there was not a fire pit. It was not listed in the amenities however with it being in the pictures of the property we thought there would be one to make s’mores. We hauled wood 8 hours and the little ones were disappointed. Not a big deal and if we stayed again we would just bring one with us. Overall a great stay!

Floors

Property was very nice and check in/out was easy and accurate as described. I would like to say that when we arrived the dishwasher was full of dishes from the stay ahead of us. Also, the floors were extremely filthy. No obvious sign of dirt/trash but, unable to walk around with bare feet and them remain clean. So, I feel like the floors are swept and vacuumed but, absolutely no way they are being mopped. Hope this helps the owner realize a couple of cleaning things that they are getting the shaft on! Thank you so much! Tessa Horne
