You can’t beat the location! The house has some wear and tear due to age, but it’s still a lovely place overall.

Perfect location and breathtaking views

I am sure you won’t find any other place in Palm Coast so tranquil and closer to the beach. To make it the perfect place, a few house renovations will do the trick.

Native Floridian give Two Thumbs Up!

Great place to stay! Pics of stairs should be included as it's a townhouse with all bedrooms up stairs, which made it difficult for my 92 yr old mother to navigate. Location was great and house was clean, overall I would rent again.

Funky Pelican truly grows on you and you just feel right at home in no time. It’s a great location!

The group that works with the Funky Pelican works with you and makes the process very user friendly. A terrific Welcome basket was a fantastic added personal touch. This was a winner of a place to stay and fully enjoy the beachfront!

Beautiful Location

This house is in a gorgeous spot and the owners have worked hard to provide a sweet retreat with many amenities. The view and beach are gorgeous and quiet, and we loved the large decks. Our family of 4 had ample room and we could have been comfortable with 6-8 people. The beds were comfy and the linens soft. Be prepared for an older home experience. Despite some recent updates, this house has drafty windows and doors and very old kitchen and bathroom plumbing. There is also no longer a hot tub or a grill. Despite these minor issues we very much enjoyed our stay and I would book this house again.

Bad timing but beautiful location

This location is perfect. Our timing was off as I was told after we got there and had several issues that the home was getting ready for updates. The kitchen was dirty (cabinets not cleaned and they were sticky) the cleaning staff did not do their job and it’s really unfortunate. Issues with getting into the home (code didn’t work but finally able to access keys in the lockbox). The property manager was extremely kind and apologetic about the lack of cleanliness. I realize it’s a beach property and very casual but the problems we saw were unacceptable. Again, location was perfect and hopefully the updates are completed before anyone else stays here.

Slice of Paradise

It was all about the living on the beach experience for us. It was indeed! All the comforts of home right on the beach with spectacular views of the ocean. A true feeling of a private beach. We have a large family, nine of us, and we were all comfortable and had ample room without feeling crowded at all. The management was personable and available. Their instructions about the property were easy to understand and made things seamless. Watching the dolphins were addicting. I have decided on two must-haves in my life, a hot tub and a home on the beach 🙌
