the most beautiful short term rental ever!

This home is absolutely the best short termrental, by far, that we have ever rented. If I could have given it 10 stars, i would have. Every roomincluded a tv and the full stocked kitchen was very impressive with its beautiful pots & pans! The home was immaculate upon arrival & check-in was super easy. We enjoyed sunset views as well as beach views from the home. The balconies, porch swing & a small swing downstairs were such a treat. The owners supplied us with everything from multiple coffee machines including the coffee/creamer, makeup remover, toothpaste, more than enough beach towels, kitchen utensils, pots and pans and even a diffuser blow dryer! it took me 4 minutes to walk to the private beach and we all felt very safe! We did not want to leave as every moment that passed we fell more in love with this beautiful home! We will be back!

Third Visit and Won't Be the Last

This was our third time to stay at the Purple Pelican and we will continue to come back time and time again. Our kids, ages 5 and 8 absolutely love it, as do we. The house is always incredibly clean and well stocked. It's so nice not to have to worry about packing towels, chairs, beach toys, etc. We also love the layout where the kids room is across from the master, separate but close if needed. My parents come with us and have their own king size room downstairs. My 5 year old stated this time "This is starting to feel like home" Ha ha ha. We wish son! The property owners are also a dream to work with and respond quickly. The proximity to the beach is another bonus and I love that at this current stretch of beach there is no driving allowed so you don't have to worry about cars and the surf. The beach is clean and well maintained. The neighborhood itself is beautiful and quiet. We enjoy just walking around and looking at the stunning beach houses. This April trip has quickly become one of our favorite family traditions. It's truly a time where we can rest, relax and take some time to invest in what really matters...spending time with our loved ones. If you are interested in the same, don't hesitate and book the Purple Pelican. You won't regret it.

Girls Weekend

6 adult women stayed from a Thurs - Sun. Everything is as listed. We had plenty of room for sleeping and bathrooms, etc. This is a beautiful house. Pantry was stocked with all of the essentials. Mosquito’s were terrible outside but the owner left bug spray on the porches to be used. We wished they had a sidewalk from the house to the beach in the grassy area between the different buildings. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

This home is fabulous and very well appointed. Getting to the beach was difficult because the grass was high and hadnt been mowed. We got eaten alive by bugs and mosquitoes. This is a HOA problem that should be addressed.
