Not much to say other than fantastic
Great location. Great home. Pictures don’t do it justice - family that arrived before us called while we were a few miles out and said to go ahead get ready to be surprised. My in-laws rented the property next door which was super convenient for our large family and we had plenty of room. It made for a trip we won’t forget. So much fun. Being able to walk to St Armands Circle was the icing on the cake. Beautiful beach, pool, amenities..too much to list. We look forward to booking this property again.

Great location
The location of this house is fantastic. Fairly minor problems including questionable items on one bed and very stinky slow drains in one bathroom. The host was responsive and apologetic, which is appreciated. We generally had a very nice stay and the house is as advertised.The kids loved the pool. We had 10 people stay and it was surprisingly spacious and comfortable.

Another Great Stay!
I stayed at Pelican Cottage this past February. This is my third time renting it and it won't be my last. The house is well stocked with everything you'll need and the location can't be beat (leave the car parked and walk to St. Armand's and the beach). All that being said the best part of renting Pelican Cottage are the owners Deb and Ed. They are terrific people! I'm counting down the day until my return.

Wonderful House
The location is amazing. You can walk to the circle and to the beacg. The house is equipped with a great wagon and toys for the kids. We had a colder week but the pool was super warm so the kids swam everyday. There is lots of space for everyone. Virtually no negatives about this house.

Pelican Cottage Family Stay
We were thoroughly satisfied with our recent stay at Pelican cottage Decemer 28- January 4. Lovely cottage, pool and access to the beach and St. Armands shoppes and eateries. The home had all the needed equipment for the beach and pool and was very comfortable. The host was so easy to contact and provided us with information about activities and local delivery methods for food and such. Highly recommend this property and we hope to return!
