We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront condo. The space was clean, nicely decorated, and exactly as pictured in the listing. The absolute highlight was the beautiful ocean views everyday from the balcony and even sitting in the dining/living room area. The location couldn't have been better—it was close to the beach, making our trips down to the sand relatively easy. The host was wonderful; they responded promptly to all of our messages and went above and beyond by providing excellent local restaurant recommendations that enhanced our trip. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to future travelers.

We had an amazing weekend here! The view was perfect and the condo was clean and well kept! They provided so many extra things (beach towels, umbrella, cooler, etc) that made it easy to pack less. Teresa was very responsive all weekend and even took time to get us an extra parking pass! Would definitely stay here again!

Great place

The place was great. The pool wasn’t opened yet for the season which was a bummer with small children. They have games and a few toys for when kids stay there. The hosts were wonderful and easy to work with and get ahold of when needed! Definitely recommend this place

Excellent Place to stay

This Condo really impresses, with its Ocean view, plenty of windows on the ocean side of the condo, open floor plan and plenty of seating out on the balcony looking out at the ocean. The condo was exceptionally clean and organized. The owners were very accommodating and responded right away when I had questions regarding our stay. I would definitely stay again.

North Topsail Getaway

Pelicans Retreat was the perfect place for our weekend beach getaway! Everything was fresh and new in the condo due to recently being renovated. Three separate bedrooms worked nicely for our family. Amazing ocean / beach views from the living area, dining area, and kitchen! Convenient beach access just a few steps away. We definitely plan to stay here again!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! Teresa was great at communicating with us ahead of the trip, just ahead of our arrival, and with a quick check-in after we had a chance to settle in. The space was exactly as the pictures show. Everything was incredibly clean and comfortable. They did not miss any details when setting up the space for a family vacation. The location cannot be beat. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and seeing the ocean. The beach access is right at the property’s edge and the pool is very nice, too. I cannot recommend this place enough!
