This is a no smoking facility, smoking is not allowed inside the unit or on the balcony. Resort has the eviction power for those who do not follow the rules. Smoking is only allowed at two designated locations at the Resort.
There is no road to pass, We are directly on the beach. We provide 2 beach chairs and an umbrella for our guests. During March-October there is a beach service at the Pelican Private Beach and beach vendor does not allow chairs/umbrella in front of their rental chairs. For guests that prefer 1st or 2nd row seats, we provide their contact information, so you may reserve seats in advance.
PETS are not allowed per the HOA (no matter how small).
You will feel the luxury all around you in this condo. The unit is updated with new furniture and vanities. Kitchen cabinets are upgraded. All of the appliances are replaced with Stainless Steel units. The unit is tastefully decorated with everything that you would need. We operate the rental ourselves as a family so you will get individual attention from me.

If you arrive early, feel free to enter into the resort, register at the front desk and get your parking pass and pool bracelets and enjoy the beach and the pools. However we do not allow early check-in's to the unit especially during high season since the unit is mostly booked back to back and we need extra time to prepare the condo.
We give privacy and space for our guests but are only a phone call away.
Parking is free right at the resort covered parking area. Pelican Beach Resort has free beach access, free guest pool, free gym for guests etc.
Property is undergoing a project to coat/seal the upper floor and the ramp of our parking garage as well as both tennis courts, and to replace the fencing around the courts. Project started at the end of December 2025 and is expected to finish by March 2026. During this period, the upper parking garage, tennis/pickleball courts and EV chargers cannot be accessed. Covered parking garage may also be closed in sections for minor repairs and safety. Similarly, during low season elevators will go under maintenance.
Please be informed that during low season, resorts and unit owners take on maintenance and renovation projects, which may be noisy at times and may make some amenities unavailable/limited at times. This is not unique to our unit, this is applicable to all units in beach vacation spots.

What a beautiful condo. The ocean view is super nice. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed. It even had beach chairs and an umbrella. Our host communicated quickly when we had questions. We hope to be back again in the future.

Perfect vacation!
Directly on the beach! Very clean! Had everything we needed. Pictures are up to date/exactly what room looked like. Washer/dryer in the room was a lifesaver! Owner was easy to communicate with/check in was a breeze! We saw dolphins in the water on our last evening!

The condo was more than spacious enough for my husband and myself, and the view from the balcony was absolutely stunning! In addition to the two big pools and hot tub, it was nice to have a restaurant and a tiki bar on-site as well. We also had beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels at our disposal, so we didn’t have to reserve chair and umbrella service. It would have been nice to know in advance, though, that there was no shampoo, conditioner, or body wash in the condo. We assumed that there would be toiletries, so we didn’t bring any with us. We had to go out and buy some. The toilet paper and paper towels that were provided were very thin and cheap as well. Other than those minor inconveniences, we absolutely loved our stay!

Great Condo, Weird Beach Rules
Overall, the condo was great. Very clean with an easy check-in process. The listing was accurate, except for the “Arcade” shown in the pictures, which no longer really exists (just a few claw machines remain).The location was excellent. Our only real issue was with the private beach setup. A rental company places around 150 chairs on the beach each day, and if you don’t rent one, you’re required to set up behind them. This creates a crowded, restricted beach experience. The beach became much more enjoyable after the rental company packed up around 5pm. The listing did mention the private beach, but the extent of the chair situation wasn’t fully clear until we arrived.Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!
