Better property than expected.

This was our first visit to the Emorald aisle. We picked this property for value and for the pet friendliness. We absolutely loved this place. It was actually better than it showed in the pictures. The beach was just a short walk down the street. We also visited a couple other beaches on the island which were pretty easy to get to. Short drive to good restaurants and shopping etc. I definitely recommend this place.

Nothing Fancy But Nice & Clean

Overall a great experience. Location was nice although walk to the beach is more than 5 minutes as advertised. But it wasn't bad at all. We had bikes so most of the time, we drove the car down, unloaded, drove it back to the house as there were no beach parking, and then rode a bike back down (2 minute bike ride). Then when it was time to leave, ride bike home, got the car and drove back to beach to load up. It wasn't bad at all. We could have rented a golf cart but that was kinda expensive. We also walked it a few times, we bought a beach cart to haul things, and that wasn't bad either, but it got so hot. The place was nice, the only thing I would change is the red couch is old and worn. It had an outside shower that was nice to rinse off before going inside. The gas grill worked. It needs replacing. Otherwise, Century 21 was very responsive to all questions. Check in and out were easy. The rental office is a couple miles from the home on the main road. Overall we had a great time, and would rent there again.

Bobby thank you for your review of your stay at Lucky Pelican. Also, thank you for reaching out to me after your review posted to correct some things you wrote. The couch not the grill was what you felt needs to be replaced. The owner always like to know what renters think and I will let them know your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed your visit here and hope to see you again. Thanks again!

Lucky Pelican was great.

We loved staying here. We chose it partly for all the great decks. We hung out on them a lot. It was pet friendly and our papillon loved it there, too. One night while walking him, we came face to face with a deer just across from our driveway! The beach access was a short walk from the house. The nature park was a short walk in another direction, or you could drive over and park. Beautiful park, lots of trails, and more animals to see. The park is on the Bogue Sound side, and there was a dock with a kayak launch. We had a good time fishing off the dock.

James thank you for your review of Lucky Pelican. The owners just did the new decks this past winter and I am sure they will be happy to hear that people are enjoying them. What a treat with the deer sighting! Coast Guard Road is close to so many things for a family to do to "get back to nature" if they choose. We hope to see you back at Emerald Isle soon!

Great Stay!

We had a much needed relaxing vacation at the beach, and this house was the perfect size for our family and in good proximity of the beach, especially with a golf cart.
