Sunny Coast Stay|Dock,Pool,Game Loft, Beach Nearby

☀️ Sun-Soaked Summer by the Coast w/ Dock & Pool 🎣

🤗 Welcome to summer by the SHORE at The Sandy Pelican, a bright and cheerful Gulf Coast retreat made for long sunny days and easy coastal living. Just a 5-minute stroll to the BEACH, this freshly updated, family-friendly home offers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and laid-back summer vibes.

Mornings start with warm coastal breezes and coffee on the porch, followed by beach walks, poolside lounging, or slow moments by the private dock watching the water drift by. As the day heats up, cool off in the pool, explore the shoreline, or simply soak in those endless sunshine-filled hours.

As evening rolls in, enjoy golden sunsets along the greenway, relaxed dinners, and nights filled with laughter after long, sun-soaked beach days. Whether you’re grilling, unwinding, or just enjoying the coastal air, every moment feels like summer done right.

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.

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.

Very nice stay!

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. ☺️
Response from VrboOwner on Jan 26, 2026
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.

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!
