Gulf Front w/ Private Pool

The sun and the sea await at Pelican Paradise A, a distinguished beachfront retreat in Seacrest Beach along Scenic Highway 30A. This property's location is unbeatable, near shopping, dining, and located directly on the Gulf of Mexico! Nestled in the private, gated community of Camp Creek Lake and with a private pool to boot, you’ll find everything you need and more for the perfect getaway!

Please note, this listing is for Pelican Paradise A. This unique property can be booked with Pelican Paradise B as a combined private, 10-bedroom oasis. View the combined Pelican Paradise listing.

Pelican Paradise A is a spacious refuge with five bedrooms and four and a half baths accommodating up to seventeen. Tastefully decorated and with beautiful interior finishes, rooms are bright and cheerful with plenty of space for everyone.

Place was dirty, mildew and mold. Place flooded on 1 st floor ( obviously floods after rain). Office/owner know about all the problems and do nothing to resolve. The place needs renovation.

Great potential BUT

• Property Condition: The property has potential but is in need of significant renovation and updates, including cleaning, repairs, and replacements. • Outdoor Area: The pool area and patio require cleaning, landscaping, and new furniture. • Interior Issues: The house has numerous broken fixtures, outdated furniture, and appliances in need of repair or replacement. • Plumbing Issues: The toilet backed up, sewage came up from the pool drain, and all faucets need replacing. • Broken Fixtures: The shower on the bottom floor had a broken fixture, and the spare bathroom sink on the second floor was unusable due to a broken faucet. • Unsanitary Conditions: Sewage backup from the drain by the pool was not cleaned up, raising concerns about sanitation. I would love to give this place a second chance due to its convenience and location, but only if every one of these issues were addressed and resolved.

AmaZing Beachfront Home

This was our second time staying in this beautiful beachfront home. House is perfect for large and small families. Kitchen has everything you need, pool was clean and warm, beach access directly off kitchen/dining room. It’s a wonderful rental. Scenic Stays was very easy and accommodating. Location is perfect!!! We will stay here again!

The rental was in a great location with beautiful views of the ocean. Quiet location. How ever the unit was very worn and outdated. The owners need to give this place some TLC patio furniture needs to be updated and the sofas needs to be updated..

Great family rental

Overall a great property, location and space for a family. We had adult couples with 1 child each and had plenty of room. The property does have quite a few worn items that need to be addressed/replaced. The property management team was helpful to address any items that we needed fixed during our stay (grill replacement).

Can’t beat the views!

The location, views, and access to the beach are unbeatable. The size and layout of the house is great for large families. However, the house shows its age and has not been maintained well. Nothing that will ruin your stay or worth complaining about in the moment, but disappointing for the area and price.

Beach was outstanding

This property was a disappointment. Needs to be maintained properly and needs exterminated for cockroaches. TV’s never worked ,beach service from your vendor Brent never showed up after numerous texted messages and phone calls. The beach is all this property has going for it!

Lovely

Absolutely loved our stay at 179A The home is very comfortable, and that sunset is amazing. Short drive to town to nice walks or dinners. We drive a 2500 so the tree out front needs a little trimming, it does scratch the roof top otherwise if you have a big car. Other than that everything was perfect, nicely stocked and comfortable. Management was quick to answer too. We had a great time!

Our favorite house yet on 30A

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 7th summer in a row to rent a beachfront house along 30A, and we all agreed that this home was our favorite. It was plenty big for our group of 10, and was beautifully designed and well equipped. The beach was beautiful and so easily accessible. It was a very comfortable for everyone, with plenty of lounging areas. The kitchen had everything we needed as well. Neighborhood was nice and even though we were there during the height of summer, the private neighborhood and beach made it feel uncrowded.

Great location but needs work

Location was great and so was the view! The house downstairs was gross. The main level sofa was quite dirty. Several light bulbs were out in the kitchen. The pillows on the beds were uncomfortable and the construction next door at 7:00am was not relaxing! Would have been nice to know they were building next door and workers could look into the master bedroom.

179A Pelican Way

Great location, but we had multiple problems. Started with no internet and then became a plumbing nightmare with a malfunctioning grinder pump and back up of raw sewage on pool patio and toilets. We appreciated the help of the ScenicStays team, but the unit was clearly not checked to be in good working order before we checked in.

Family Vacation

My family and I enjoyed our stay. It fit three separate families! Great location, right on the beach. We really took advantage of outside shower/hoses, and the beach service that is provided. The kitchen was fully stocked and had extra touches like sponges, soap, etc.. Unfortunately, the pool was not well maintained and we didn’t get to use it. Parking was pretty limited. The interior was for the most part cozy but a little worn down. There was a mildew smell in parts of the house. We also wished we could sign into our own Netflix/Amazon accounts or use our Roku. It was disappointing that it was locked. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

You need and exterminator - bad roach and ant problem. The free standing ice maker does not work. The kitchen sink drains extremely slow and needs unclogging

Needs some loving care!

Beautiful place and we had a wonderful time but the house does need some maintenance, some of the toilets need some repair as far as the insides go, the dishwasher was leaking so we couldn't use it, the elevator door on the main floor was broken, wine fridge in kitchen was broken and the door wouldn't close. These repairs didn't impact our stay but I feel they need to be addressed, the internet is really bad! The patio around the pool and the one downstairs off bedrooms I expected to be better maintained. The home is such a beautiful place and it just needs some maintenance!

Nice ocean front property that can use better maintenance!

We paid exorbitant price for our week long stay at this property recently. Third-floor master suite and the living room has amazing views of the beach. Direct access to the beach is huge plus. There were several issues we had to deal with during our stay: Broken utensils, broken vent hood, clogged kitchen sink, frequent internet connection drops, low bandwidth, non functional TV remotes, broken door knobs/handles, inoperable garage door, dirty pool with dead crabs (very very tiny pool) that had cold water (although we paid for pool to be heated), bugs in downstairs bedrooms and dryer won\'t work (called for service 3 times during our stay). Couch in the living room was not clean and mattresses in most bedrooms were very uncomfortable. Price we paid for our stay at this property was not worth it!
