Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Eastern Lake
When the possibility for early retirement became evident, I searched most of the United States coastlines for the perfect spot for me to retire... This area had been a favorite vacation spot for my family for years and after researching alternate vacation areas... I knew that there was none other than the 30-A area! Pelican Watch beat out dozens of other possibilities due to its position between Eastern Lake and the Gulf. The charm of Seagrove Beach was the topping on the cake.
The Unique Benefits at this House
There is something very spiritual about Pelican Watch and its location. Very hard to explain, but I've had many quests say the same thing. Just looking out on the sugary sand and turquoise water brings a peace within. The huge porches capture the breezy balmy winds and are the perfect gathering area for family and friends. For those who like more adventure, Pelican Watch offers about 7 bicycles, 2 kayaks and a canoe... along with beach toys galore. The 19 mile biking trail runs the entire length of 30-A... great for discovering the incomparable beauty of the area, its wildlife and many spots for dining and shopping along the way. Catch a free concert in the green space at Seaside, Rosemary Beach and other activites offered by the townships along the beach.
There is something for everyone of every age... you will want to return year after year.

Owner's Map of Eastern Lake
After living 30 years in Atlanta, with my last profession as a graphic artist, it was time to get off of the busy Atlanta roads and "smell the roses" or more appropriately "smell the salt air"... I was so fortunate to find Pelican Watch and purchase it as a rental, which gave me the ability to have somewhere to go when the I needed the escape, but Pelican Watch became so popular, it was hard to find a week or two for myself and family! The blessing came as an ability to actually move to the area and live in paradise. I get such pleasure from offering my beach home to the wonderful guests that grace Pelican Watch, that I decided to keep Pelican Watch as a vacation rental and find my own home right here on 30-A.

Great Holiday Getaway

Review Submitted: 01/09/12
Our extended family (five adults and three teenagers) enjoyed a great Christmas and New Year's break at Pelican Watch. We made good use of the bicycles and kayaks and also enjoyed leisurely walks along the snow-white beach. The wrap around porch was great for picnics and our little dogs enjoyed the outdoor "freedom" given to them. Diane was such a gracious host - providing a welcome basket and even emailing from time to time to make sure everything was going smoothly for us. The house was close to plenty of shops and restaurants, as well as a grocery store. We will definitely be back to visit again soon.
Owner response:I loved having your group! I've always wanted to do the Holidays at the beach, and strangely have never had the opportunity. Thank you so much and I hope to see you in the near future!

Our family was able to enjoy every bit of our stay at the beach in this beautiful home. Well appointed with very comfortable beds. The views from the house are fabulous! At night we would go out on the deck of the master bedroom and enjoy the quiet beautiful sky, during the mornings, sit on the kitchens deck and view the beautiful ocean. The only thing better was sitting directly on the beach, which is a very short walk, level except for maybe 5 steps off the short boardwalk. This home is well stocked for guests. Bikes, kayaks, floats, umbrellas, it had everything! We would love to make it back next year!
Owner response:Mary Beth, thank you so much for the beautiful review! I am so fortunate to have such wonderful guests like you and Michael (and group). I so look forward to your return!

This house was beyound our expectations, it was fabulous, beds were so comfortable. We had a great time on our vacation and want to come back to this place. Very relaxing and the owener is wonderful to work with. This was a healing vacation for us as we did lose a member of our family and this place was just a great place to relax and heal by the ocean. I would recommend this house to anyone who has a large family and wants to be relaxed.My dogs fell in love with the porches and I did too!!
Owner response:Vicki, thank you! You made my day! Hope to have you back soon. Best! Diane

We recently stayed here for the 1st time and were very pleasantly surprised. Our group included extended family for a total of 10 people. The house was so spacious and well laid out. The deck provided a beautiful, unobstructed view of the beach and was a wonderful gathering place; the breeze was to die for. It was so convenient to have bicycles as well as beach chairs provided, they were both used frequently. It really felt like our home away from home. Thank you so much for being so accomodating and making our trip so very enjoyable. This was truly a wonderful place to vacation and we hope to visit again.
Owner response:Thank you Angela! I look forward to your return to Pelican Watch!

While being regulars to the South Walton 30-A area, we have rented many houses and this was one of our favorites! My husband and I rented the house for the weekend for both of our parents and siblings. The most important thing I look for when renting is that there is a large porch that overlooks the gulf that our entire family can gather together on. The views from the house are amazing and the house is right on the beach. We spent every morning drinking coffee on the covered porch while admiring the beautiful ocean (and even saw dolphins!). And then would gather on the porch again at night to enjoy the view, play cards, listen to music, and coctails! The house is very well equipped. One night, we stayed in and cooked and the kitchen literally had everything you could ever need. All amenities, including the grill, bicycles, beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler were put to great use! Thank you Diane (owner) for allowing us to rent this wonderful house and make many memories with our families!
Owner response:Cyndee, I wish you could see this big smile on my face! Thank you so much and I hope to see you at Pelican Watch in the near future!

We have stayed on the Emerald Coast 15 times and this is by far the best property we have stayed at. Diane (owner) has a lot of extras that make the house special -- the garage is full of rafts, chairs, bikes, and other things to make the trip more fun. If you have little kids, there is a crib in the house. The house is super clean, has a great view of the gulf, and the walkway to get to the beach is right across the street. The beach is not super crowded so there is plenty of space to spread out. If you bike, route 30A has a 16 mile bike path there is right up the street that is a nice flat fun route. The house is only 2 miles from Seaside. I can't say enough good about the house. Don't pass up this gem.

We stayed at Pelican Watch in June 2009 for the 4th time in the past 5 years. This year we had 10 adults and 8 children under the age of 12. We had plenty of room for our huge family. The house is very clean and always has everything we need to enjoy a wonderful vacation. We love the area as it is a short distance from both Destin and Panama City. We can enjoy the quiet and then head out to the cities for dinner and fun if we choose. Diane is great and will help you with anything you need! We have already booked our week for next year and can't wait to go back!!!

There were 14 of our family members including 6 kids who met here from 3 states. We had the most unbelievable reunion and unforgetable week! Everything we had read about the house was true. There was no way to prepare us for the incredible views of the beach and ocean from the upper balconies- breathtaking!!! We literally could sit there for an hour just taking it in. And the garage...we were so surprised by the number of bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys, unbrella, nets, kayak, canoe, inner tubes, etc. For those of you who are coming after us, take your beach chairs down to the edge of the water at sunset and watch the wonders of the heavens. We are definitely coming back!!

Our blended family of eleven visited Pelican Watch in May of 2008. What a great place to make many happy memories. The home is lovely and very comfortable exactly as Diane describes. The views of the ocean and the lake are perfect. The garage is full of everything needed to have fun- bikes,chairs,umbrellas,floats, and boats. Our two year old granddaughter made many friends as she played in the pond and we sat by the ocean. We had a wonderful week and hope to return again next year.

Pelican Watch was incredible! The location is so perfect, Eastern Lake being so accessible. We enjoyed every minute. Our cousin's twenty year old son is anxious to return. We are all looking forward to next year. Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality in providing such a warm and inviting setting for a great beach experience.
