Another great stay at The Sandy Pelican
This was our second stay at this property, and hopefully not the last. Everything is well maintained and clean and is exactly as advertised. Location is perfect, close to everything but still feels secluded and quiet in the evenings.
The host was very responsive and the house was exactly as described. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in.

location was perfect
Our first family vacation to gulf shores was a wonderful success thanks to Nesting Vacations. They made planning and booking stress free. Made me feel comfortable asking questions as this was my first time ever vacationing. Their advertisement of the property was honest, location was perfect, and their pictures were accurate and up to date. It truly felt like we were at home.
We very much enjoyed our stay in this VRBO. It was close to the dock for fishing and just a short walk to the beach. The owners have a large inventory of beach stuff but what we really loved was the extra coffee pods, beach towels, shower products, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry and dishwasher detergent. Thank you for such a thoughtful gesture that we rarely experience anymore. ☺️

Hi Michael! It’s great that the home made your beach getaway feel easy and well taken care of. Those little touches are something we truly enjoy providing, and we’re glad they added extra comfort to your stay. We’d love to host you again whenever you’re ready for another trip to the coast.
We really enjoyed staying here and the location was perfect for our family. In its own little cul-de-sac which was great. The dock/small beach area and swimming pool were a lot of fun for the kids!

About the host
Hosted by Grace
My wish is for you to have an amazing stay filled with unforgettable memories to cherish.
I grew up in Huntsville, AL. I am a mom to an 2 ice cream loving girls. I love traveling and hope to continue traveling more when the kids can sit still for more than 20 minutes.
In my spare time, I enjoy binge-watching shows like Reacher, watching figure skating, and baking! Hiking is a must-do for me and hopefully one day, I will be visiting all 63 National Parks in an RV.
My family and I love staying in short-term rental vacation homes around the world and have taken what we loved about each stay and applied it to our own hosting vision. I strive to provide our guests with the best hospitality and experience possible so that you can kick back and create some wonderful memories!
