Pelican Grand-Right on ocean! 2 Queen Beds - Best unit in the Resort !!

Thank you so much for considering our unit at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort.

Steve and I purchased our rental in mid 2011, and have enjoyed spending family time at the resort with our children and grand kids.

*******************************************************************

Each year, we continue to make more and more updates to make your vacation experience the best it can be.

Some of the differences you'll find between our room and others (both the privately or resort owned units) are:

- Leather Lazy Boy couch, with recliners on both ends. (All other units have either the old original or recovered sofa, not anywhere near as comfy.)

- New Lazy Boy Loveseat, with a pull out twin bed. (All other units have either the original or recovered loveseat.)

- Two 46 inch flat screen TVs (for units like ours, the resort offers one 42 inch flat screen and another very large old standard hotel unit)

- Larger compact fridge (just replaced the small original 2 cubic foot compact fridge with a 4.4 cubic foot model)

- Larger microwave (just replaced the smaller original unit with a high end convection model)

- Better lighting (lights added to ceiling fans in both bedroom and den area)

- More seating/better chairs (got rid of two old rattan chairs and replaced with four smaller chairs)

- Plus, plus, plus more....

The reason for all the above differences is we really want our unit at the Pelican to feel like home for us and for our guests. I think we've met our goal.

ADDITIONAL CHARGES/FEES:

o IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ !!! At the time of your booking, HomeAway/VRBO will be collecting and remitting Broward County Tourist Development Tax (6%). This will be included/shown on your quote as "Stay Tax". IN ADDITION, Steve and I need to collect and remit Florida State Tourist Development Tax (an additional 6%). UNFORTUNATELY, at this time, there is not a way for us to build this into your quote. THEREFORE, once you book our rental, we will be sending an ADDITIONAL payment request to you for the 6% Florida Tax. We apologize that this is confusing and an additional tax that was not included in your original quote. HomeAway/VRBO is working on a better way to streamline tax collections to make this easier for both of us.

o Valet parking: If you have a car, the resort charges $33/day, plus 12% tax, with in-and-out privileges. Unfortunately, there is no other alternative for parking in the area; however, there is taxi service and a city bus line that runs right outside the resort.

o Housecleaning: $75 Check-out Cleaning fee is required. If you wish to have additional cleaning during your visit, the resort changes $35 per occurrence, plus 12% tax. You must request optional housecleaning when you check in if you want your room cleaned and the Consumable Supplies replaced by the Resort staff during your stay. If you do not request optional housecleaning, there will be no replenishment of Consumable Supplies (for example, toilet paper, Kleenex, shampoo, conditioner, soap, coffee, cups, clean towels, etc.) during your stay.

o Reservation Fee: $20 Check-in reservation fee. (This is a fee we collect and are required to pass through to the resort.)
