The house set up was beautiful and so accessible to the beach as well as local amenities. The on-site pool was perfect and very private so a good relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get away and have nothing to worry about.

A slice of heaven on Homes Beach! It was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and well laid out. We walked or took the trolley every day. Will def stay here again, given the opportunity. Pool was an added bonus and we took advantage to use it every day! Thank you!

The house was exactly as we expected! There were no issues with check-in and the house was very clean. The hosts were great and even dropped off an iron that was supposed to be at the property within 4 hours of me reaching out to them. The only minor issue was the beach equipment was less than ideal. Some of the chairs were broke and all of the beach umbrellas were broken. This didn't stop us from trying to use them but it would have been nice to have some nicer beach equipment.

Great beach vacation

We loved our time at this property. It had a fantastic heated pool and backyard space that we used multiple times a day, a well equipped kitchen, and was a short walk to the beach. If we return to Anna Maria Island we would stay here again.

Great stay!

Blue Pelican is very clean, comfortable and quiet! We loved the private pool. The proximity to the beach is perfect and many places are a short bike ride away. The hosts are very pleasant and we appreciated the AMI knowledge they shared with us. We had a great stay!

My family of four had one of the most relaxed and refreshing stays at this property, with the HUGE amenity of the private pool. We enjoyed it so much that it was difficult for us to get out of the pool before sunset.

Great duplex in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything.

This was my first time staying at the Blue Pelican and it was great. Back yard was private and the pool was great. The location of the house is close to the beach and all of the shops. My mom and I had a great time!

Lovely beach stay

The property was as described and suited all our needs. Well appointed and location great for beach access and close to some great places to eat. The beds were really comfy. The pool could have been cleaner on arrival and side sitting area bit dirty and unappealing but overall we had a great stay.

Fun beach trip

We had a wonderful time on our recent stay at this property. Even though it was small it was well laid out and had plenty of room for the four of us. The private pool was amazing! We brought our bikes and biked to the beach, which I highly recommend. Loved the small town feel of this area.
