Great House and Area

We really enjoyed staying here and the location was perfect for our family. In its own little cul-de-sac which was great. The dock/small beach area and swimming pool were a lot of fun for the kids!

Wonderful Stay

Nesting Vacations provided us with a wonderful stay in Gulf Port, AL at the Sandy Pelican. My only concern was having to provide a security deposit before our stay. The home was nicely updated. We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay and being able to walk to the beach from the property!

Home away from home

This was the perfect house for 2 couples to share and still feel like you had privacy. On the morning we were leaving, it felt like we were leaving home. Hosts always communicated promptly and we will definitely love to come back to our home away from home again!

Reunion Stay

We were in town for a Coast Guard reunion. This property was perfect for our group. The house layout is so nice with plenty of space. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Close to everything. The only downside for us was that dogs are not allowed on any beaches there, but of course that has nothing to do with how wonderful the property is.

Fantastic place

Fantastic place and amazing location. Very short walk to the beach and even shorter walk to the dock and pool. All of the beach supplies were such a huge help (cart, chairs, boogie boards, towels, etc.). Plenty of space and fully stocked kitchen. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Grace

Host profile image
My wish is for you to have an amazing stay filled with unforgettable memories to cherish.

I grew up in Huntsville, AL. I am a mom to an 2 ice cream loving girls.
I love traveling and hope to continue traveling more when the kids can sit still for more than 20 minutes.

In my spare time, I enjoy binge-watching shows like Reacher, watching figure skating, and baking! Hiking is a must-do for me and hopefully one day, I will be visiting all 63 National Parks in an RV.

My family & I love staying in short-term rental vacation homes around the world and have taken what we loved about each stay and applied it to our own hosting vision. I strive to provide our guests with the best hospitality and experience possible so that you can kick back and create some wonderful memories!
