We have absolutely no complaints about the property. There was a great deal of Sargasso Kelp on the beach. No fault of the property. Our only suggestion would be to provide a list of recommended places to shop for groceries. The 1st night we looked for a place to grab some simple food for breakfast and snacks. When we reached the property we opened our snacks. They were horrible then we realized they expired 10 months ago. A list of restaurants in the area would also be helpful. Though we did find some restaurants with awesome food. Thanks for a great 4 nights.

Just right for us

We stayed at Pelican Paradise during its previous incarnation and love what the new owner has done with it. San Luis Beach is quieter and roomier than the Village of Surfside, which we stuck with for 60 years. Weekdays, the beach was gloriously empty. During two brilliantly sunny days, the mostly well-behaved crowds appeared, which is something for February. Love the potable water from the new well and the icemaker (which needs a fix).

Had another house booked but it was cancelled by another company less than 24 hours before we were to arrive. Found this house was available and booking was so easy and they communicated with me instantly. They really saved our vacation. We have been coming to Surfside/Freeport every year for 35 years and stayed in so many different rentals. This was by far the easiest I’ve dealt with. House was exactly as described and it was the top cleanest we’ve ever had. Perfect beach view and easy access to get to the beach. 6 of us went and plenty of beds. Only thing I’d change would be to add recliners or a sectional couch in living room, it was comfortable but needing additional seating/recliners to watch tv. Would definitely recommend using 979 rentals again. They even left a gift basket with soaps, shampoo, coozies and detergent.
