  • We spent a week at the condo and loved every minute of it. There was a total of 5 of us and there was plenty of room. Upon our arrival, we found the condo in tip/top shape. There were plenty of linens, bath towels, and beach towels. It was very clean and you could tell it was very well taken care of. Although we could have, we did not cook much, but managed to hit a lot of the restaurants on the list of restaurants the owners provided to us. The onsite pool was wonderful, and the private dock allowed for fishing right off the dock. There were plenty of items available so we did not have to purchase fishing poles, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, or bikes to enjoy our stay. The location was excellent within a short driving distance to beaches, boating, shopping, and Key West. We would definitely rent again.

  • Pelican's perch is hands down the best rental my family has stayed in. It was very well equipped and in a perfect location to enjoy all that the Florida Keys have to offer. We are definetly planning a return trip. We enjoyed in addition to the location, the dock for fishing with the kids, snorkeling right beside the condo. If you are looking for a great rental to enjoy the keys, look no further!! Steve Hall

  • We had a great time at Pelican Perch (April 09) and would highly recommend it. It was truly turn key, very clean, & comfortable, with everything we needed to make our vacation enjoyable. The pool, which is just a few steps from the condo, was wonderfully inviting and we had it to ourselves most of the time. During our stay we observed a pod of manatees grazing in the shallow water just beneath our balcony. In the morning we enjoyed a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the Florida Bay from our private bedroom balcony. Jeff will give you some great info on things to do and places to eat. We did take a few of his suggestions and we were glad we did. We hope to do this again in the near future.

  • We had a great time in the keys, the pictures shown in the web site reflect exactly what we encountered there, Jeff the owner is also an excellent person. All the information provided is very useful and carefully chosen. My kids had a great time at the pool, we got to use the dock with a boat we rented and had fun all around the place. I would rent this place again and again. Carlos Blume

  • Pelicans Perch is exactly how it looks online. The view is beautiful and the water sparkeling clear. The sunsets are stunning. The home is well cared for and has all the ammenties you need for a restful vacation. The location is just right for seeing all of the keys. It is one hour from Key Largo And John Pennekamp, 20 minutes to Bahia Honda and leass than one and a half hours from Key West. We had a very nice stay 6/14/08 to 6/21/08.

  • We had a fabulous time at Pelican's Perch in Marathon. Jeff is so friendly and easy to work with it made the whole experience really pleasant. The unit is exactly as it appears on the website, except the beauty of waking up in the morning and seeing the water sparkling in the sunlight is difficult to describe. Jeff and Peg have provided a lot of nice "extras" from bikes to local menus to suggested activities--all of which made our visit even more fun. If you love fishing, boating and water sports this is a great central location and hard to beat!

  • Pat & I, and Rick & Nancy want you to know that we had a wonderful time at your place in Marathon! The weather was beautiful and the condo was superb. We checked out a number of places you mentioned in your notes and they were very good. We also went to Burdines down in Boot Key Harbor for lunch, food was great and inexpensive. The fishing off the dock was good, we caught (and released) snapper, grouper, barracuda, saw a permit caught and my friend Rick even hooked up a tarpon, looked to be about 40 pounds. But the “silver king” took a couple of unexpected leaps from the water and through the hook! The best fishing was in the early evening, but we had bites all day. We were all very pleased with the place; we fully plan to be back next year, if you’ll have us that is!

  • We stayed in Pelican's Perch for two weeks in April. Spacious, well-appointed, great views over the bay. Master bedroom a wall of glass - you feel as if you're waking up over the water. Owner Jeff provides a wealth of info about the area (including great places to eat and entertainment). Would do it again in a heartbeat!

  • Pelican Perch was a beautiful condo to stay in. My husband & I and another couple stayed there quite comfortably. It is just as great as the pictures on the website look. We took several bike rides on a nearby bike trail. There are lots of good restaurants on Marathon Key - we enjoyed The Fish Company - right across the bay. The docks were really like brand new & this is a fisherman's paradise. Our friend caught some fish, and there were plenty of bait shops, boat rentals, etc. Key West only an hour away...We would highly recommend this condo - well worth the rental. Lots of peace, quiet and relaxation... or you can find live entertainment... whatever you want to do - it's here!!
