NEW LISTING! Pelican Beach Resort Condo #713~Beachfront~Ocean-views RENOVATED🏖️

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. I do have to say that if you usually take a tent to the beach that you will not be able to do that & you will not be able to sit close to the ocean unless you rent their chairs & umbrellas. There are about 3-4 rows they put out no matter if anyone rents them or not & usually the guest that rent them don’t have any courtesy to not block the walkway to the beach so you might be climbing over their stuff."

Beautiful 3/2 Beach Condo w/ private beach access!

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very accommodating of our special request! Thank you we loved it"
