The house set up was beautiful and so accessible to the beach as well as local amenities. The on-site pool was perfect and very private so a good relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get away and have nothing to worry about.

Great beach vacation

We loved our time at this property. It had a fantastic heated pool and backyard space that we used multiple times a day, a well equipped kitchen, and was a short walk to the beach. If we return to Anna Maria Island we would stay here again.

Great stay!

Blue Pelican is very clean, comfortable and quiet! We loved the private pool. The proximity to the beach is perfect and many places are a short bike ride away. The hosts are very pleasant and we appreciated the AMI knowledge they shared with us. We had a great stay!

Great duplex in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything.

This was my first time staying at the Blue Pelican and it was great. Back yard was private and the pool was great. The location of the house is close to the beach and all of the shops. My mom and I had a great time!

Lovely beach stay

The property was as described and suited all our needs. Well appointed and location great for beach access and close to some great places to eat. The beds were really comfy. The pool could have been cleaner on arrival and side sitting area bit dirty and unappealing but overall we had a great stay.

Fun beach trip

We had a wonderful time on our recent stay at this property. Even though it was small it was well laid out and had plenty of room for the four of us. The private pool was amazing! We brought our bikes and biked to the beach, which I highly recommend. Loved the small town feel of this area.

Perfect vacation spot!

I want to live in the patio and pool area. So comfortable in every way. The apartment is stocked with all you'd want plus plenty of extras. The island is uncrowded and the beach is a few blocks away. Tampa and Orlando are both easy drives as well for amusement parks, etc. Great spot for our family of four!!
