The view in this condo is fantastic! The beach is absolutely beautiful! Overall we would stay here again. I would pack extra towels and shampoo next time, we had to make a quick run for things like that. Reminder that it's not the resort but someone's rental property. Great living room area and kitchen! Three pools on property and the beach so plenty of outdoor time here.

I have really no complaints about the property. Everything was as advertised. View was gorgeous, building amenities were nice, communication with host was timely and helpful. My only gripe was the living room furniture was not the most comfortable and the apartment lacked some color. But again, it was clean, cozy and as advertised .

We booked this place strictly for the view and the view was fantastic! Yes the place could use a little updating but it was clean and comfortable. I contacted the owner about the microwave door handle being broken again when I got there and he had a technician come replace the entire door. 2 things to know: it costs 2.00 to wash clothes and 2.00 to dry them. The laundry room is across from the room. If you want an umbrella and chairs that costs extra also: 45 per day I believe. However there is an umbrella in the closet. We were there to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have asked for a better week.

The beach service was an unexpected cost but seems to be the norm for this area. We couldn’t rent a golf cart for fun commuting since there were no accessible roads to drive from this resort. The view from our balcony was worth it!

Mildew pee you

This is our second stay at the Pelican. Our first stay the room was clean and well maintained. This most recent stay the room smelled like mildew, not as clean as our first stay and the appearance was banged up. Huge repair patches in the bathroom and nail pops in the hallway. This unit was advertised as recently remodeled. The grounds was well kept and both pools and hot tubs very clean.
