My husband and I have stayed at the pelican Post many times but this was our first visit after hurricane Helene and Milton. We were SO HAPPY to see that the hotel look just as good as it did before! The booking process was smooth and thanks to the girl who checked us in, our stay was made even better! She was very sweet and welcomed us back as returning customers! Our interaction with her was wonderful, so if you are reading this Janelle, thanks again – you’re the best! And kudos to the owners...

The place was just as listed. Dan and Amy were amazing and accommodating to all our needs. Answered any question we had prior to arrival and during our stay. Housekeeping was spot on with new beach and shower towels each day along with emptying our garbage each day. The location was spectacular. Easy access to the beach with lounge chairs and if you didn’t want to be at the beach just hang by the pool. Clean kitchenette with a coffee maker, stove top and microwave. We will be back based on...

We didn’t realize this hotel was BRAND NEW when we booked it. Literally open for a week and a half! I was blown away with how nice this hotel was, especially for the price! It was very kid friendly, had special touches & the staff was on point! Also worth adding, THE POOL AREA & THE VIEW WAS GORGEOUS! The kids loved seeing the boats and water. We were only there a night, so we went to the beach for the sunset, but the staff said it’s the most gorgeous view from the top! The complimentary...
