Pelican's Perch - Ocean Views! Beach is Right Across the Street!

If you're looking for a centrally-located house with abundant ocean views and easy beach access that's not far from anything on Pleasure Island, then look no further. Pelican's Perch's 2nd row center island location is just 1/4 mile from the Kure Beach and Carolina Beach line. You can walk diagonally across the street to our community's private beach access with gazebo, or ride a bike to any location on the island. Our main living area is on the top floor which gives awesome views of the ocean and also the colorful homes in the neighborhood. Ample decks outside the 2nd floor bedrooms and the upper floor living area give the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, enjoy the ocean view with a good book in hand, or just enjoy each other's company with the nice view and ocean breeze. The entire ground floor deck with an outdoor shower is surrounded by lattice for privacy. It's hidden from view and offers some shielding from the morning sun, but you can still see out and feel the ocean breeze. The garage area contains various bikes and beach supplies to help make your stay more fun. A ping pong table and a video game system will provide some indoor fun on rainy days or when you've had enough sun for the day. When the day is done, then sleep in comfort in the nicely-decorated 4 bedrooms equipped with queen beds, dreaming about what the next day on the island will bring.
Pelican's Perch isn't just a rental - It's our second home, and we're continually improving it so that it will be the best it can be. We love this home's 2nd row location and beautiful ocean views, and it is situated so conveniently to all points on the island. We believe Pelican's Perch is one of the best second row homes on the island, and we hope that you will enjoy staying there as much as we do.
Please read the following important information before booking a stay in Pelican's Perch:
There is a 3 day minimum stay with no specific required day of check-in or check-out during most of the year except for the summer high rental season. During that time there is a 7 day minimum stay running from Saturday to Saturday. When booking, feel free to send us a message including any questions that would be relevant to your group's needs. If you're planning to bring a furry friend, then we are dog-friendly. We allow up to two small and well-behaved dogs, up to 25 lbs each. Dogs are the only pets we allow and each dog must be approved by us prior to your arrival. No dogs over 25 lbs, cats, or other animals will be allowed.
Also remember that Pelican's Perch is a non-smoking house both inside and outside on any of the decks.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Great trip
The property was great and more than described. However, the steps are real, everything has steps, it’s a definite workout. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed for any meal. The family areas were the best for everyone to relax. The bedrooms were very spacious, and the beds were all comfy. The showerheads in the bathrooms on second level were lacking, but the one on the bottom was awesome. The downstairs game room was great and we couldn’t hear the teenagers upstairs which was a plus. The ping pong table and corn hole boards were awesome. We had a great trip and great weather.

Wonderful beach trip!
We had a wonderful stay! The ocean view is great, you can sit on the deck and watch the sun rise over the ocean. The beach access is a very short walk across the street. The owner is very prompt and helpful with communication, and really went above and beyond! Barbara was also great and let us know about local events going on. The house is clean and spacious and provided a great environment for our family to make memories on vacation. This our second time staying here, and we have had wonderful experiences both times!

Awesome house!
This is our third time staying at Pelican’s Perch and our family loves it! The house is furnished with basically everything you need. All we carry is our clothes and food. They have enough beach chairs and umbrellas for our family (5 adults, 2 toddlers and baby). You can sit on the deck with your morning coffee and watch the sun come up over the ocean. Beach access is almost directly across from the house and so nice that it’s private and you don’t have to pay for parking. The owners are so fast to respond to you and Barbara the property manager is great to work with. We look forward to coming back again next year.

Great stay.
My husband and I celebrated our 50th anniversary at Pelican’s Perch. The home was just about perfect. Decorated so beachy, and cute. Kitchen had everything needed to put a meal together, and even a gas grill on the deck. We could see the ocean from the deck and even from the sitting area in the family room. The walk to the beach was just across the street. The garage had a ping pong table, and nice beach chairs, and even a cart to put our beach ware in to take to the beach. The house was spotless, and Barbara and Penny were very helpful with our check in and check out, and even posted local events. Wonderful stay, and I highly recommend this beautiful home. Close to things as well.

Great house and location
This is our 2nd stay at Pelican Perch and we love it! The location is perfect, right across the street from the private beach access and far enough between Carolina Beach and the pier that it’s not to crowded on the beach. Gary and Tracy provide everything you need for a great stay from a well stocked kitchen to all the beach chairs and accessories you need. All you need to bring are your clothes and beach towels! Barbara is a great property manager and is so quick to respond to any questions that you may have. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us.
