Can't get closer to the water than this! Bring your boat and tie it feet from your Suite.
Fall is beautiful on Cedar Island!
Swim in front of the property in beautiful Core Sound! Very safe for the youngsters...they love exploring the marine life. Your dogs will love the swim too!. Swim in our Huge fresh water pool...er, we'd rather the dogs did not :-). (The pool will close for the season sometime in September)

A dear couple who were here (May 07) for their first visit sent us this after they got back home (used with permission):
Paradise Found
To find the perfect getaway
from the hectic pace of life
is not as easy as it seems
and causes needless strife.
I thought it quite impossible
that it was a hopeless quest.
Until one day I discovered
a place called Pelicans Rest.
It’s a little slice of heaven
tucked away along the coast.
A warm and welcoming place
with two very special hosts.
It's such a peaceful place
to experience is to believe.
It renews your body and spirit
and makes you never want to leave!

We're very pleased that our first 4 years were so well booked. We've met so many nice people and their dogs loved it here too. Many brought their pets who had a ball playing with our pooches and relaxing in the suite after a "hard" day in the water and walks on the beach. Did we mention that we LOVE dogs? Did we mention that you can bring your dogs? Please do not board your best friend...bring him/her here for fun too.
Guests that were here brought their small sail boat (like a Sun Fish) and Wind Surfer boards...they have had a ball. The lady has "complained" that she has found so much to do that she hasn't rested enough. We had a nice meal with them on their last night: dining on crabs, clams, and fish that THEY caught right in the back yard. Several guests brought their boats and had a great time out on the water.
Our family and dog friendly SUITE offers beautiful furniture and accessories. Look at the pictures on our web site. It is a private, two-bedroom suite with everything to make your holiday comfortable. You'll wake up in a 4-poster bed and look directly at Cedar Island Bay and watch the pelicans, gulls and other fowl go about their morning feeding. The suite can accommodate 4 adults or 2 adults and several children, depending on ages.
Have your coffee outside on the huge new, private deck to continue this morning show and you'll probably find it tough to get moving. You are steps away from the water. During the day, swim or clam in the bay. You might kayak, bike, horseback ride or just read the rest of the day. At night enjoy a campfire and look at stars and planets in an unpolluted sky. Check our website and picture site (listed below) for more information.
We have broadband (DSL) internet access and we offer free WiFi!
You do not need to bring much because we provide everything but food (and we even include some staples and spices!)
Pelicans Rest is located on Cedar Island, a "Down East" fishing village in North Carolina known as the Gateway to the Outer Banks. It is a nature lover's paradise overlooking Cedar Island Bay, Core Sound, and Pamlico Sound. The Atlantic Ocean and its beaches are visible on the horizon and accessible by ferry.
Did we mention that we are VERY pet friendly! No need to board Fido.
