Absolutely without a doubt THE most perfectly appointed home I’ve ever rented!! From the kitchen to the bath, to the big fluffy pool towels , these owners have thought of everything you could possibly need and then stepped it up two notches! Perfect location. Again, absolutely perfect!!
We had an excellent stay! We felt at home in the cottage. It was fully stocked with all the luxuries of home… all we had to provide was our food. My grandchildren loved the pool! The hosts went over and above to make sure our stay was great. Perfect location… just a walk away from the shops, sights, and the beach.
The property is in a great location to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The pool was a great option to swim without walking to the beach. We had a great time and would highly recommend the property.
Everything about this property was well thought out! We had a wonderful month.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you for the month! We are very happy to welcome you to the area as permanent residents and trust you will visit us frequently with family for your “place” at the beach!
Had an incredible stay! House had everything and then some! Incredibly clean. Bed was super comfortable. Location location location! Hosts were prompt and responsive when needed.

We enjoyed meeting you and hosting your holiday. We especially loved providing needed respite for dedicated health professionals, given our personal connections, and were delighted to be acknowledged for our health-oriented focus on ongoing cleanliness maintenance...the soft stuff that matters but is often assumed and overlooked....We are hopeful you will return and maybe, perhaps become neighbors?!
Great vacation property with beach access only 3 houses away! This was our 4th year renting this house and we’ve already left a deposit for next year. This house is extremely well-maintained and the lighting upgrades in the master bath were terrific, as was the new mattress in the master bedroom. It was spotless upon our arrival. The inground pool in the back is an added touch when taking a day off from the beach. This is a wonderful home to relax in all while having Armand’s circle within walking distance, as well as having so many options for dining out, some within walking distance and others only a short drive away. Can’t wait to come back next summer!!!!

We’re blushing! Looking forward to welcoming you back!
Another wonderful stay at Pelican Cottage! Deb and Ed are great hosts. The cottage is in the best location on Lido—-a quiet street within walking distance to St. Armand’s Circle. It’s charming and equipped with everything you will need. The pool is an added bonus when you get tired of the 2 minute walk to the beach!

We thoroughly enjoy welcoming you back to The Lido Pelican Beach House! One of our Original Regulars, we have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming and embracing you and your beloveds to Lido Key for the last 4 years! We are grateful for your loyalty and continued patronage and friendship. See you in 2027 and 2028!
Pelican Cottage was amazing! Perfect location, great pool, beautiful beach! The walk to the beach was a little lengthy because of a roped off bird sanctuary. But it helped to keep the beach less crowded. The only complaint we have is with the landscaping service. We were woken up early by blowers right outside the window. We believe such services should be reserved for the day of checkout. Otherwise it was a perfect week and we hope to return year after year!!!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Sorry to hear the landscapers disturbed your morning. Reliable landscapers require weekly service (on their “Lido” schedule) and guest stay dates are too variable to suit their staffing… it would be nice but not feasible. We would enjoy welcoming you back!
Perfect location to circle and short walk to beach. Awesome balance of shared space and ability to spread out. I loved getting a few hours of work done on the patio by the pool, watching the sun rise. Deb was super responsive when we had an issue with the lock pad battery getting low- and checked to make sure we were good.

We enjoyed hosting you and ensuring your stay was trouble free! We agree, it is a treat to both relax and stay connected with the "flow" of work/other - the combo allows relaxation without anxiety.... Looking forward to welcoming you back! Deb and Ed
Highly recommend for the easy communication with host, perfect proximity of house to beach and plenty tourist attractions. The house was 5 stars for cleanliness, kitchen supplies, pool and equipment.
