We had a great stay at Pelican Beach. Julie was extremely nice and responsive to any questions we had during our stay. When we arrived, the condo was clean and absolutely beautiful. The location directly on the beach was great as well. The tiki bar and cafe were really nice, convenient and had really good food. If you intend to rent beach chairs (and I would), I would recommend renting them when you book your trip, as they fill up fast. I have no complaints and would not hesitate to rent from Julie again.

We were overwhelmed at how beautiful the condo is and the amazing view. Tho that pales in comparison to how beyond stocked with every & anything we could possibly need supplied in the unit for us.

An awesome place for a family with kids! Easy beach access to gorgeous sand and long, shallow ocean entry with small waves that even the little ones can enjoy. Go out a bit more and you'll hit the sandbar with larger waves for the bigger kids to enjoy. Speaking of bars, the tiki hut and its included beach side service makes for an easy way to stay hydrated and fed while keeping an eye out on the kids (or just enjoying the waves). Keep in mind that you'll need to book the umbrellas and chairs early (and for a pretty penny) if you don't want to be in the back (get the front row if you've got kids... it's probably worth to get the front row regardless as the extra is worth the breeze and views).Condo has awesome bunk beds for the kids, nicely decorated, and well stocked (though if you're staying for more than 2 days, I'd recommend bringing your own shower supplies)
