Our favorite place to stay

Our visit to Southport was terrific. A little inconvenient with surprise repairs to the elevator, but we managed fine. Best for us and my son lives just down the street. Thanks, Cindy

This was our first visit, but not the last! Pleasantly surprised at the beautiful view from the large porch and enjoying the boat launch activity in the harbor. The interior was nicely furnished and with all the necessary appliances, cooking and dishware. Highly recommend!

Return Visit

We return to Southport every 6 months or so and always stay at Pelican Harbor. We love it here. It is a nice unit, well maintained, a nice view of the harbor, walkable to town and restaurants, and a short drive to the beach. Laura and Randy are always gracious hosts and accessible if we have a question or need help. 5 star!!!!

Perfection

The property was perfect with a bunch of extra touches by the host. The king bed was comfy with plenty of blankets and pillows. The living room was roomy with a large TV and open to the kitchen and dining room. The two balconies were large, with great views. And there was even a nice carport and elevator. Within walking distance to everything. HIGHLY recommend.

Third stay--always a wonderful experience

We are a retired couple and small, elderly dog who have stayed at Pelican Harbor three times since 2020. Each time the unit is clean and comfortable. Laura, our hostess and her husband Randy, leave personalized welcome gifts including the most wonderful soaps that she makes herself. My husband has developed health problems so we depend on the elevator, recliner and proximity to dialysis treatment to enjoy our stay. You also can't beat the entertainment at the marina!

Happy Place

We stayed at Pelican’s Harbour for our 25th anniversary. The condo is perfectly located across from a marina. The deck/veranda is the perfect place for coffee in the morning watching boats go out and a cocktail in the evening watching them come back again. Within walking distance of all restaurants and shopping, we opted to rent a golf cart. There is even electrical outlet in the parking area for recharging the battery! The unit has dedicated covered parking and there is an elevator for ease of bringing in your luggage and such! Decorated throughout delightfully with a coastal theme. And the kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need for eating in! The owner was easy to contact throughout the entire process-answering all my questions before our trip and responding while we were there. We have found a new happy place!

This location is amazing! The views are incredible and the amenities were endless. Clean,modern and uncluttered but yet everything you could need. Beach chairs and towels were so handy for the beach. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. So many activities close by. Loved hanging out on the balcony watching the boats and walking the pier. Laura has thought of everything and I loved the guest book with all the repeat visitors it definitely is comfortable and inviting!

About the host

Hosted by Laura & Randy Strickland

Host profile image
Thanks for your investigating a stay at Pelican Harbor @ Harborside! We are the owners and property managers. We enjoy the opportunity to share Southport and this beautiful condo with guests/visitors. We take pride in working to make your stay a positively memorable experience. The beauty of Southport mesmerized us the first time we come over on the ferry many years ago. Our love of the area pulled us back year after year as we dreamed to make Southport our home one day. We were fortunate to acquire Pelican Harbor @ Harborside 14 years ago and have a desire to share the area with others who enjoy the community as much as we do, or are visiting for the first time.
I have a passion for making homemade soaps filled with essential oils, shea aloe butter and exfoliants. We provide guests a few bars of my soaps to use during their stay. We welcome and invite you to come rest and relax at Pelican Harbor!

Why they chose this property

The condo’s location is in the heart of Southport. The opportunity to watch the happenings at the Morningstar Marina, views look out towards Old Baldy and the Oak Island lighthouses. You can watch as small boats and large ships move within the water channels. People and dogs walking by and birds flying and/or exploring the marsh provide constant entertainment. Watching the tidal changes within the Salt Marsh and all the boating activity provides a truly relaxing experience. Fishing options are right outside your door including a small public city pier a block away and the city fishing pier about 0.5 miles away. The bird watching opportunities are also amazing. Caswell Beach is just a short drive over to Oak Island, so within a few minutes of leaving the condo you can be walking on the beach next to the Oak Island Lighthouse instead of looking across the water at it. Southport truly is a relaxation destination and Pelican Harbor is a perfect place to take it all in!

What makes this property unique

The view of the water restores the mind and calms the soul.
