Family week at the beach

Great location. House is older with small bathrooms and closets but had all of the essentials we needed. The large deck in the back with the partial overhang for sun coverage and the elevator was great. We enjoyed our stay and will consider renting again.

Location was perfect, the back porch is great, the home was clean, but it was small and needs a little TLC. Also missed having an outdoor grill.

Mother’s Day Trip

We spent the weekend at the Purple Pelican and the location can’t be beat! Private access to the beach and a quick walk to the park and many restaurants. We chose the house because it had an elevator and was right on the beach, which is exactly what we needed for our 90 year old grandmother! You can tell the property management company is making some improvements to the deck, etc.

We’re glad you noticed the improvements underway; we're continually working to enhance the experience for our guests. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing beach getaway soon!

Beautiful Property

We absolutely loved this property! I would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful family/pet friendly home to stay at. As far as communication with the property manager, I would give 10 instead of 5 stars if I could. We had a small situation with someone trying to get in the house and the property manager responded and handled the situation in a quick manner. Love the property and the people are so easy to speak. We will most definitely be back next summer!!
