Beautiful house and location for a beach getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The house has a great layout, with the first floor kitchen, living space and deck great for everyone to relax together, while the 2nd floor bedrooms and bathrooms gave everyone the personal space they needed. All of the rooms were recently updated and clean. Location was great also, peaceful, a short walk to the beach, right on Little Lagoon, and 5-10 drive to most restaurants.

The inside of the home was very well maintained anc clean. The outside was very unkept. The storage area outside where beach equipment was very nasty and the beach equipment needed to be thrown away and start over.

Another great stay at The Sandy Pelican

This was our second stay at this property, and hopefully not the last. Everything is well maintained and clean and is exactly as advertised. Location is perfect, close to everything but still feels secluded and quiet in the evenings.

location was perfect

Our first family vacation to gulf shores was a wonderful success thanks to Nesting Vacations. They made planning and booking stress free. Made me feel comfortable asking questions as this was my first time ever vacationing. Their advertisement of the property was honest, location was perfect, and their pictures were accurate and up to date. It truly felt like we were at home.

We LOVED the home and location. The home was exactly as described. The bedrooms were spacious. The beds & pillows were comfortable. The huge bathrooms were a plus and the bathtub was a hit. The environment of the house was so homey and decorated beautifully. We enjoyed being in the kitchen. Our family cooked several meals. There were so much usable kitchenware and small appliances as well. Tons of nice glass dishes including wine/drinking glasses, baking dishes, plates, bowls, etc but also plasticware for the kids. Brillant!! This house was stocked with everything you need. This was our first time experiencing any thing like this. We brought items from home and purchased while on the road. But once we got there and unloaded everything we noticed so many things were available from extra toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towels, dryer sheets, dishwashing pods, etc. This was a first for us. So thank you so much for your hospitality!!!The beach closet outdoors was amazing!!! It has so many items to choose from umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, floats, sand buckets, fishing poles, wagons, corn hole boards, etc. We brought our beach items with us and honestly didn’t need anything we brought. 5 min walk to beach. One min drive. The community pool was perfect. The dock was really nice to fish or just sit to soak in the peaceful atmosphere. We can’t wait to stay again!! My granddaughter LOVED it!!Thank you so much for the best beach vacation!! Ready to go back immediately!!
