Worth It!

The stay here was just what we needed for our getaway. The unit was extremely clean and bright. The place was lovely! The host was very informative and pleasant. Check in was as simple as entering your code to enter the property and that was that. The ocean view was tranquil and the kitchen had everything we need for our meals on this three night stay. Sorry we have no pictures but truly thank the host for making this such a peaceful and fulfilling stay.

Very Pleasant stay

We stayed for a week in this apartment. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. Our one issue, a minor one involving location of the parking pass, was responded to and dealt with promptly and in a friendly manner.The view and location were exceptional. The furnishings, decor and cleanliness were also excellent.We would definitely rent again. In fact, as I write this, one day after leaving, I find myself still wishing I were there.

Amazing Place

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was perfect for our New Years getaway! Some pros include: the little details (noise machine and fan in every bedroom, labels on the light switches, board games and cards available, etc.), plenty of kitchen appliances and all your cooking needs, majority of the condo is updated, beds were super comfortable, indoor pool and hot tub, and the list could go on and on. The only cons we can think of include: amount of bath towels (we needed more), lack of kitchen towels and having a queen bed in the master (a king would have make it even better). We will definitely be renting this place again!

Hi Megan, Thanks so much for the thoughtful review. We’re really glad you enjoyed your New Year’s stay and appreciated the details we’ve put into the space. It means a lot to know the little touches made a difference. We hear you on the towel count and the bed size. While we try to strike a balance that works for most stays, feedback like yours helps us see where we might fine tune things. Just to share a bit of context, the towel and bed setup is based on what typically works well for the space and number of guests, but we’re always open to reviewing things when patterns emerge. Appreciate you taking the time to share. We’d love to have you back anytime.

Okay place to stay.

Property and location was okay. Opened the sliding door and the handle broke in my hand the first time I opened it. Went to pull out the couch bed, crumbs over the bed, dried up french fries underneath. TV in one of the bedrooms never worked. Called 2nd day there to report all this, never heard back.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry about the sliding door handle breaking, the cleanliness issues you found, and the TV not working during your stay. We know how frustrating all that must have been. We did get your message and tried to coordinate repairs, but it seems communication didn’t go as smoothly as it should have, and we apologize for that. We’re taking your concerns seriously and working on improving our response and follow-up process. Thanks for staying with us despite these issues, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

The condo was very clean, well equipped, family friendly. Everything we needed for a week at the beach. Very comfortable beds. Wonderful location. We had a fabulous time. Only issues we had on arrival the door combination I was given didn’t work, but I made a phone call and received help immediately. Communication with host was fantastic . The sliding door was very difficult to open and the handle on the outside had a screw from inner handle sticking out making it extremely difficult to open from balcony. We needed the men to open and close door all week which was an inconvenience. It was our 4th year at Pelican Watch and one of the best condos we stayed in. We’d definitely stay here again. Hopefully the patio door situation is fixed. That’s why we gave it 4 stars.

Thanks for staying with us and for laying everything out so clearly. Glad to hear the condo was clean, stocked, and in a solid spot for your trip. Happy we could get you inside quickly when the code acted up. And good call on the sliding door. That thing was stubborn. We have already had it adjusted so it will glide like it should. Appreciate you sticking with Pelican Watch all these years, and we would be glad to have you back anytime.
