GREAT TIME

Really enjoyed the quiet setting this place had to offer. The beach was not overflowing with multiple people and there was not the bustle of the big city. People were friendly and Fort Morgan was great. The home was wonderful and well stocked, communication with the owners were great. Thank you for a wonderful time

Wedding—⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a very small intimate wedding at this location and it could not have been more perfect!! The view, as well as the interior were absolutely beautiful. I think the pictures don’t do the house enough justice because it is gorgeous! Host was very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend this house!

Want to come again!

We loved the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the location, and the ease and beauty of the home. It is steps from the beach, which made the back and forth with babies very easy. The home was well stocked with kitchen appliances, games, blankets, towels, and beach supplies! The host responded immediately every time and was so kind. It was a wonderful vacation for us and we hope to come back again!

Just as amazing as the first time

This was our second trip to the Salty Pelican Tuex. We absolutely love the location and the house. We have a large group of 3 families and the space is all we need. Great location away from it all but just a quick drive away. The owners are very accomodating and easy to reach. Thanks again Shae!!

Amazing location

Shae was an amazing hostess. Wonderful communication throughout the entire stay. Couple things - very minor - would have been nice to have more drawer space in the bedrooms for storage of clothing and more chairs in the living room. But truly that didn’t take away from our beautiful experience. We adored her home!

Beautiful Property!!

Our family hosted a small wedding for my daughter at this beautiful property. It was the perfect sleeping arrangement for her and her bridesmaids. The large covered deck was perfect for the dinner after the wedding. We only had one small plumbing issue that was taken care of right away. Thanks so much for the memories!

Perfect! Only steps to the ocean! Clean! Highly recommend!

This house is literally just a few steps from the beautiful waters of the gulf! House was clean. We didn’t cook but the kitchen appeared to be well-appointed and remodeled. Beds were comfortable. Maybe because it is still winter, but could use additional table/chairs on the deck. Overall one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in at any beach. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return!!

Beautiful location

Our family wanted and nice quiet and relaxing week and we got just that! The house is beautiful, the layout is perfect. Every day the kids swam and at night went looking for crabs, even the adults joined in on that! The deck is a wonderful place to spend time with each other and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. We would highly recommend the Salty Pelican Tuen! We will be returning in the future for sure! Thank you for opening up your home Ken and Shae!

Loved It!

Our family has spent Easter break on the Gulf Coast several times. The Salty Pelican Tuex was our favorite accommodations yet. The house is beautifully remodeled, clean, comfortable and with many extras. Great view from the entire home of the beach, which is just steps away. The owner was great to work with, true to her word and quick response to all our questions. It is obvious she took extra care in making this home a wonderful place to vacation. We are very happy with our entire experience staying at the Salty Pelican Tuex. Thank you!

Great time for large families

We had a great time with two families and the grandparents. Shae was a fantastic host and very communicative via text thru the VRBO app! Beds we’re so so comfortable and the upgrades done to the home are top notch. So clean and fresh! Plenty of room for food/drinks. We cooked and grilled in the kitchen + outside grill every night and had a blast. We were only the second group to stay since COVID and I can only imagine Shae will only make it better with time!! Great memories made!

New Years on the Beach was Perfect!

Our stay at the Salty Pelican was everything we could have asked for in a vacation rental home. Steps to the beach in a beautiful home with an awesome view. Dolphins every day and even the Blue Angles performing practice tricks in front of the condo during the week. There were plenty of beach chairs for everyone in our group (13) and beach toys for the kids. The house is 15 minutes from Gulf Shores and everything the area has to offer. We loved the secluded feel the house gave us. Shae was wonderful and always available to answer any questions. We will definitely be back!
