The property was very nice. The ranch style layout was perfect as we had some people with limitations. The enclosure around the pool was a great addition. The two cottages were perfect for the younger children so you didn't have to worry about noise in the main house. We would stay here again

Amazing home with awesome views! Was kind of disappointed in the condition of the swimming pool upon arrival... the liner was coming off and the pool was full of grime. Other than that, the place was amazing! Fortunately the pool crew came on Monday and cleaned the pool, then returned on Friday to patch some of the liner

We had 8 adults and 4 kids. The property was very nice and the houses were perfect for us. I loved that the main house had so many utensils in the kitchen, it was just like being at home. The pool was clean but a little cold. The kids loved the dock and the dock house. We had one issue and the realty company responded immediately. The issue was user error so they solved it over the phone. Everyone loved the place and I would recommend it.

Huge place for multiple guests

We enjoyed this property. Huge areas to sit and converse in the house. Best part was the enclosed sitting area by the bay. Just wished the pool was heated and we had a little trouble finding the place, but overall we highly recommend this property.

The property is very nice! It was my first experience using VRBO, so I was a little nervous, my dad and husband love to fish so it was perfect! Other than maybe a heated pool I have no complaints & that’s not something I expected to have! THANK YOU for a place to make great family memories

Paradise at Pelican Bay

This home and it's property is absolutely gorgeous! There was more than enough room for all of us. Both of the cabins were perfect for our family with babies. As soon as we walked in the front door, we were all overwhelmed by the decorative pieces that made the house feel so relaxing!! We absolutely have NO complaints and are grateful you allowed us to make beautiful memories in your home.. We hopefully will return i. The future!

Pelican Bay, a great place to relax & make great memories.

Nine of us stayed at Pelican Bay and there was plenty of room for everyone, including our mini schnauzer. The kitchen was well-stocked and big enough for us to cook meals together. We truly enjoyed eating in the screened in patio. It’s also a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee.We knew the pool isn’t heated but due to the tremendous amount of leaves that kept blowing in it, we didn’t find it enjoyable to swim in.Other than that, everything was perfect!
