Great location close to the beach.

The house was great! We enjoyed out stay in this quiet community feel with a short walk to the beach. It was nice to have the amenities of a home while away from home by the beach.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay and the property met all of our needs. The home is well stocked with everything you need and is a 5 minute walk to the ocean. Our only concern is all the cameras outside of the home, it felt a bit invasive while using the outdoor porches.

Great house/location

This was our 9th summer to vacation in Crystal Beach and this was the home that best suited our needs. The location is perfect, just a couple of blocks from the closest beach access. The home is also conveniently located to numerous shopping areas and restaurants. The home has ample living space, including the size of the bedrooms. Of all the places we stayed, this home was stocked the best. The kitchen had everything we needed (dishes, glassware, pots/pans, bakeware, appliances, etc.). In prior years we have had to go to the store to get additional supplies, but that was not necessary with this home. The owner is very responsive! We had a great week and would highly recommend it. We look forward to having the opportunity to rent it again!!

Beautiful Place and Location

The house is very nice and as described. The one thing not noted are the outside cameras which the property owner regularly checks. The house is just minutes from the beach and a perfect location from shops and restaurants. Follow all the rules in the binder left by the property owner and you'll have no issues.

Pelicans Perch

We very much enjoyed our stay here the house was beautiful, the pool was gated, and the walk to the beach was short. I will say that the internet wasn’t that great, but it worked enough that our tv in our room would play Netflix.

Just what we needed

Our family had a wonderful time at Pelicans Perch! The home was very clean and spacious. Our younger kiddos loved the bunk beds. The teens enjoyed having their own areas as well. The pool was a huge hit for our kiddos. The dining room table was big enough to include everyone. Loved that Pelicans perch had everything you could need. Thanks for having us!!

Great Experience

My family & I really enjoyed this house! Perfect location, easy access to the beach. Pool was warm and clean and inside the garage there are lots of floats, beach chairs. The house was clean & the beds were so comfy. Kitchen has everything you need and more. We did have an issue with the heat randomly cutting on, but got intouch with the owner of the house and he had someone come out and fix it right away. Overall great property!

Did not meet expectations

We loved the location to the beach and the swimming pool. The living room area was comfortable! The negatives were many. I won't go into the details, but the overall interior and exterior cleanliness was poor. We sent a message to property manager/owner with pictures of cleanliness issues but he did not respond. The gas oven gave out a strong and overwhelming odor upon turning it on the first evening of our stay. Property manager responded quickly, but couldn't get anyone to look at it until over halfway through our weeks stay! We ended up wasting some groceries. The HVAC struggled to cool on the second floor making sleeping a bit difficult. The HVAC for the loft bedroom fluctuated between being way too cold and too hot. At one point, the temperature was set on 70 degrees but the room was 81. Property manager had me pull the thermostat out to reboot the system. It worked for the night! But it went back to freezing out the grandkids the next day. I didn't reach out to the owner again because our stay was about over, and I thought he should of sent a technician already. The queen bed mattress (bunk bed room) was bad. You"d literally roll to the middle! After a couple of nights, my son ended up sleeping on the couch so his wife wouldn't have to continue stuggline to sleep on the edge of mattress! The internet service was interrupted multiple times. The living room TV turned off on us during viewing several times. I ended up sending a message to the owner asking if he could do anything to offset the above disappointments? He did not respond except to say "have a great day!" We're pretty chill people who do not like to complain, but we felt we needed to share our experience with others.
