Pelican Paradise was very family and pet-friendly. The hosts were very receptive and accommodating. There was excellent communication from start to finish. I would highly recommend working with them!
Clean and the view is just water. The house needs some updating. But very comfortable. Management company was wonderful. Kind people. Would do anything you needed. Great place to go to enjoy the water and a quiet vacation.

Hi Sheryl, thanks for the wonderful review of Pelican Paradise!
My family and I had a wonderful time at Pelican Paradise. The location is amazing. Can't get closer to the ocean! House was charming and has a huge deck. The interior is dated, but overall a nice trip.

Hi Brandon, thanks for the wonderful review of Pelican Paradise!
This place was perfect, plenty of room, kitchen well stocked, had everything we needed. The deck was so nice and spacious. Walk down the steps and you are right on the beach, easy going back and forth to house. We loved it!

Hi Melissa, thanks for the great review of Pelican Paradise! We're glad you had a wonderful vacation!
We absolutely loved staying at this property. The location is beautiful, the house is right on the water and is very comfortable! We even had a issue with our heater and not only did they have someone out to check but he actually replaced the whole heater within hours! Can’t say enough good things, we will for sure be coming back.

Hi Brian, thanks for the great review of Pelican Paradise. We're glad you had a wonderful time!
Great location. You pull up onto sand with a view of the beach even from your car. We loved the patio with the locked gate so dogs could be free to roam on the deck while we watched the ways. Away from touristy area. So nice!

Hi Amy, thanks for the wonderful review of Pelican Paradise!
The location is amazing! It is just steps away from the ocean and perfect for our family beach vacation. Quiet neighborhood, spaced out homes, and pet friendly beach made for an excellent getaway.
The home was very clean and everything was in working order. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a week worth of meals and there were 2 local stores/shops very close and we were only an easy 20 minute drive away from larger/big-box stores.
We truly enjoyed it and would stay again.
