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.

Nice place

Great location. We have stayed in condos in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores many times but love the laid back pace with the homes of Fort Morgan. While the home is older, it was a perfect size for us. It could use updates to the interior but we didn’t mind that. We appreciated the large, gated deck. Harris Vacations, the property manager, was very responsive and quickly resolved a repair that we reported. The kitchen was well equipped with crockpot, electric griddle, drip and pod coffee makers, blender, toaster, and lots of cooking supplies including a large pot for shrimp boils.

Amazing place.

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.

Amazing location, truly ON the beach! House is older but very clean and comfy. We enjoyed everything even though the main AC was acting up. Before we got there, management placed nice portable AC units in each room to help take stress off the main unit. It was a wonderful vacation!
