Great stay!!!

I give it 5 stars! The condo was better than the pictures even showed. We recieved a welcome email with a code to get in 1 week before our dates, and we had zero issues upon arrival. The building is well-maintained, parking is easy/free, the building is gated, and the condo itself is really nice with a beautiful view. We had a great week here and will book again in the future!

Spring Break Family Trip

Overall the stay was great! The condo was a great size for our family of 4. The view from our balcony was amazing, we spent every morning out there drinking our coffee, what a great way to start your day! We had a minor issue with the cleanliness of the condo but it was addressed immediately and we were very pleased with the communication with the host. The location of the condo was right in the center of the main strip so it was busy, making it a little difficult to enter and exit the resort.

The rental was very smooth from beginning to end. Condo was clean and comfortable with excellent views. The property is very nice and the new pool will be a big bonus. The owners were great and checked in on occasion to make sure that everything was going well. I appreciated their attentiveness. Looking forward to staying at Pelican Beach Resort again in the near future.

Great condo for a couple getaway!

The condo was great! The condo owners were very responsive and easy to get in touch with. The condo was ready super early on the day we arrived which was soooo nice because we were planning on getting there early to get a late lunch and then check in, but it was already ready once we arrived so we were able to drop all of our stuff off and then go get lunch! Checkout time was also pretty flexible. My boyfriend of 6 years and I had a lovely time and will for sure be returning. Since it was only us two, there was so much space to spread out and having two bathrooms was awesome too. Highly recommend!

The condo is very cozy and makes good use of the space. Management always responded quickly.

We loved the space and all of the comforts it provided. When I contacted the property mgr, he replied pretty quickly. The beach was beatiful and clean. The Pelican Beach Resort staff were all helpful and courteous. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place for 6 to stay. If I had to complain about anything, it would be that we had some long waits for an elevator to the and from the 8th floor. But we understood that two elevators were broken.
