Pelican Beach Resort

I have really no complaints about the property. Everything was as advertised. View was gorgeous, building amenities were nice, communication with host was timely and helpful. My only gripe was the living room furniture was not the most comfortable and the apartment lacked some color. But again, it was clean, cozy and as advertised .

Mildew pee you

This is our second stay at the Pelican. Our first stay the room was clean and well maintained. This most recent stay the room smelled like mildew, not as clean as our first stay and the appearance was banged up. Huge repair patches in the bathroom and nail pops in the hallway. This unit was advertised as recently remodeled. The grounds was well kept and both pools and hot tubs very clean.

Almost PERFECT

The Pelican resort was a family favorite 20 years ago. I was dissapointed due to the beach rules/rental chair for the property. I never remember there being rows and rows of beach chair rentals. I do understand the need for non-rentals to place their chairs behind the rentals, but this was excessive. The chair rentals took up most of the beach space and they were not even half used. I dont understand why tents were not permitted. We have never had this issue on any other properties. They also wouldnt allow you to sit in water with your chair. I felt like I was mislead about the washer and dryer. We are very sure to always have a room with this luxury. It stated very clearly on our listing that there was a washer and dryer. It never said shared or access to. The other issue was a little mishap with the iron. The iron was very old and ruined my shorts. I do understand that I should have been more careful, but it was frustrating. We were also told that we could check in early by calling number provided. We got there at 7am and tried to call several times and no answer. We honestly never complain and I do not want this to be a complaint. It is more of a friendly note of the things that we wished were different. It absolutely did not ruin our stay. We had a great time. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo. I hope my comment Is helpful and not considered negative. I still gave a 5 because we had an excellent time!!!

We booked this place strictly for the view and the view was fantastic! Yes the place could use a little updating but it was clean and comfortable. I contacted the owner about the microwave door handle being broken again when I got there and he had a technician come replace the entire door. 2 things to know: it costs 2.00 to wash clothes and 2.00 to dry them. The laundry room is across from the room. If you want an umbrella and chairs that costs extra also: 45 per day I believe. However there is an umbrella in the closet. We were there to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have asked for a better week.

The view in this condo is fantastic! The beach is absolutely beautiful! Overall we would stay here again. I would pack extra towels and shampoo next time, we had to make a quick run for things like that. Reminder that it's not the resort but someone's rental property. Great living room area and kitchen! Three pools on property and the beach so plenty of outdoor time here.
