The resort was incredible so many pools so many hot tub, tubs, and right on the beach. The fishing pier was fun for the kids, especially in the evening fishing and seeing all the mammals. Location was perfect so much to do walkable to restaurants and the aquarium. The beach had the most beautiful sand and water.

This place was absolutely perfect for our family! We booked it because of the amazing pool area for the kiddos & adults and it was an added bonus that it was only 10 minutes from the baseball fields where my son had his tournaments.If I could give the owner 10,000 stars, I would! She was incredibly communicative, helpful, and even took the time to recommend places for us to visit during our stay. Her hospitality truly made the experience even better.We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Pelican 303 was very comfortable and exactly what we needed for a family of 6 with three adults and 3 kids. There was one cleaning issue at the beginning of the stay that was easily fixed and not a representation of the hostess but rather her cleaning company. Virginia took this issue very seriously and was apologetic. Virginia was personable and was eager to give recommendations. We greatly appreciated her warmth. The condo was described accurately on the listing. We loved being so close to 3 bodies of water (the bay, an awesome and clean pool/s, and the beach)! We would like to stay at this or any other property of Virginia's again.

Relaxing gem in the middle of vacation chaos

This condo is located just a few miles from great restaurants, entertainment and beaches. The lazy river is a plus when you’re not wanting to leave property. The kitchen is well equipped to cook and eat in. The beds were quite comfortable and with blankets around, it was easy to nap on the couch watching our kids play outside.
