Great place to stay!

Loved this little house, very roomy and has everything you need. Very clean as well. You can see the water from the back porch, and they have a really cool wine bottle wall for privacy. Owners are very responsive. I hope its available every time we plan a trip to the area as we will definitely book again.

The Pelican is everything one would need. Great place to relax and unwind. Short distance to Magnolia Beach where we took late night strolls (& a lil skinny dippin'!) Had a fantastic weekend and we will definitely visit "our M&M" house again💚

Cute Cottage in Excellent Location

This was our second stay at this fabulous cottage. The owners keep it stocked with anything you might need except your clothes and any food and drinks you wish to enjoy during your stay. We will be back for future stays. They even left us a card for our anniversary along with snacks and a bottle of champagne

Five Stars

The Pelican House is a great location, on a quiet street and is located a few blocks from the beach. The bed is comfortable. The house has everything you need besides your food and drinks. It is clean and unless it’s foggy you have views of the water from the beautiful back porch (my favorite spot). The owners are pet friendly and the Wi-Fi is great. Love this place so much we have stayed here multiple times

Great little house

House was great. The smell of the freshener they use was really strong-didn’t care for the smell. Other then that, it was a great little house. Would definitely rent again.

Perfect getaway Cottage The cottage is located on a very quiet street, we enjoyed the back deck just reading and enjoying the bay breeze, watching a variety of birds. The cottage lived up to our expectations from the reviews, alot of thought went into making this cottage, very clean and comfortable. Well equipped with everything one might need.

Place was simple A-DOR-A-BLE!

This was our first time using Vrbo and were hesitant about the reservation after reading someone’s bad experience and just hoped for the best in our rental. When we arrived at the front door and were able to access the house, it was such a relief! Entering the home, you can see there was a lot of thought put into this home. Everything you need is there. We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay and hope to come back someday. Highly recommend.
