Loved this place my family and I enjoyed ourselves here so much that we plan on making this a once a year family vacation thank to the pelican bay resort and Expedia.. staff was amazing the villa was amazing everything about this place was amazing to the point my wife and took time to ourselves to enjoy the view of the beach
I rented 3 cottages for a small group of us & everyone was so pleased. All the cottages where so comfy & clean...the pool & hot tub were very well maintained & clean. We will all definitely stay there next again!!
We liked our experience at the room we stayed at. Located right next to the pool and spa. But I did find out that I liked staying at the cottage better which we stayed at the first time to our visit at the Pelican Bay.

The room was very nice, as was the kitchen/dining area. The bed was very comfortable. Furniture in living area, sofa & chair was not very comfortable and outdated. Overall it was good
I like the atmosphere, great beds very relaxing , very clean, good fishing pier, great staff i recommend this place ,I will definitely book again. My family enjoyed their stay as well.
The gentleman in the office was very nice & welcoming. Cottages and rooms are very cozy and clean. The short walk to private pier was very convenient. Even fishing on the pier at night, you feel safe knowing only guests have access. The pool was relaxing too. This was a beautiful, peaceful stay. Will definitely book again when in area.
Pelican Bay is always a perfect escape for our family. The lodge was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We loved how peaceful the property felt, surrounded by nature, yet just a short drive to nearby restaurants and shops. We had a blast fishing off the pier and playing in the pool, while we enjoyed relaxing by the water. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for families looking to unplug, reconnect, and enjoy a peaceful relaxing stay!
