My family and I had a wonderful time at Pelican Paradise. The location is amazing. Can't get closer to the ocean! House was charming and has a huge deck. The interior is dated, but overall a nice trip.

Amazing place.

We absolutely loved staying at this property. The location is beautiful, the house is right on the water and is very comfortable! We even had a issue with our heater and not only did they have someone out to check but he actually replaced the whole heater within hours! Can’t say enough good things, we will for sure be coming back.
