Pelican is a fetching 1940s stand-alone cottage set back under the spreading live oaks.
Sunlight sparkles across the pool's surface, surrounded by chaise lounges and lush tropical greenery swaying in the breeze.
Gently swaying hammocks invite you to unwind as the Gulf reflects pinks and golds of the sinking sun.

We absolutely loved the ocean view, and the proximity to both the beach and parking was incredibly convenient. The beach house itself was charming and cozy—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
