Pool & Beach- the best of both worlds!

Great location! Easy walk to the beach, or stay and enjoy the gorgeous pool and lazy river. Condo was clean and well equipped. We appreciated having the beach towels in addition to the regular bath towels. The bunk room is perfect for kids or teens.

Relaxing gem in the middle of vacation chaos

This condo is located just a few miles from great restaurants, entertainment and beaches. The lazy river is a plus when you’re not wanting to leave property. The kitchen is well equipped to cook and eat in. The beds were quite comfortable and with blankets around, it was easy to nap on the couch watching our kids play outside.

Property looked just like the pictures. Owner/Manager was extremely responsive to questions both before booking and during our stay. Kitchen was well equipped for what we needed. Lazy River and pool area were great. It was slightly inconvenient to go across the pedestrian bridge to the beach side but we knew that when booking and loved being so close to the pool.

Summer Vacation

Excellent for Kids. Nice walk to beach to get your steps in. Lots of place to eat and do things without driving. Condo had everything we needed. Palm trees are nice and shade lazy river but obstruct view of bay somewhat.

Owner DoubleBooked and Cancelled

The owner contacted us the day before our stay and explained the unit had been double booked. We scrambled to schedule another property on short notice. She did timely cancel, explained that it shouldn’t have happened and provided a refund.

Family vacation

The property was clean and well equipped with supplies, utensils, pots and pans and beach towels. There were 5 in our party and we all had plenty of room. It was really nice having our own lazy river and pool. The beach was only a short walk across the street via an over pass. Virginia was quick to respond to any inquiries we had. She also provided us with recommended eateries. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. We all had a wonderful time, and look forward to returning.

Family Vacay

I loved my stay at the Pelican. It was great to be on the bay side with our little ones. We utilized the pools and lazy river every day. My daughters were able to "sneak out" while the little ones napped and have some down time. My Mom loved walking to the bay and hanging out in the lazy river. We ventured to the beach for a beach day and went across the bridge. The beach was wonderful! We only did this one day due to the ages of our children and the amount of beach items we had to carry. I can see how wonderful this will be the next time we come when the children are bigger! Our condo was wonderful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us!

About the host

Hosted by Virginia

Host profile image
Love all things sunny and bright. Sea sounds and aqua water soothe my spirit. When I travel, I seek a sense of place not just a room with a view. Married my best friend, Charlie, who shares that same desire. Our Aqua Pelican is large enough to share delightful days to the sights and sounds of the beach.
