Great location for day trips

We selected this property because it is within driving distance of both Pensacola and New Orleans, and that worked out very well. There are plenty of other attractions within a 90-minute drive, and it is also very easy to get into Ocean Springs and to the public beaches. The neighborhood is quiet and private. We enjoyed the shady deck, and the crabbing was excellent. We took amazing pictures of the full moon over the bay and watched some impressive thunderstorms in the distance. So overall, we had a nice stay. The home is advertised as pet friendly, which it is, but unfortunately, not all the pet hair from the last furry visitor had been cleaned properly. The beach was also a lot muddier than we had expected. Just like the owners advise, water shoes are a MUST. Finally, there were pieces of glass on the beach and previous visitors left empty plastic bottles behind. The two barbeques were dirty, so we decided not to use them. I don't fault the owners for this; you can't control what the water washes up and whether people clean up after themselves. But if you travel with younger kids, you may want to inspect the outdoor area first before you let them play.

2nd time booking

This is our second time booking and the additions of the kayak, crab pots, and fire pit since the last time we visited just added to the already amazing beach house. We caught lots of fish and crabs from the dock and enjoyed the firework shows for the 4th of July. We have already booked again and will make this our go to place when available.

Gulf Coast Gem

Everything about our stay was fantastic. We live in Virginia and we wanted a special place to stay on our 20th wedding anniversary. We looked at many, many places and decided on the Pelican's Perch for our celebration. We are so happy we did! From the beautiful view of the gulf we had each morning with coffee, to the drum we had for dinner that we caught off the pier, it was perfect! Thank you Tim and Leanne for sharing your home with us!

Thanksgiving Gift

The property is lovely. All we needed and more in the B&B. Only comment is that the king bed is a huge challenge for those of 80. Being right on the ocean was our gift. Even though the temps in November are cool, just being by the water again was wonderful. The bonfire a special time. Loved all the thoughtful little extras.

Impromptu Gulf Vacation

Determined to get in an October vacation with only a few weeks to plan it, this house on the Gulf turned out to be perfect for us. It is in a great location with a breath-taking view of the water. The interior has been lovingly renovated and everything was comfortable. For the lucky person who sleeps on the left side of the bed in the Primary bedroom, you will be treated to beautiful sunrises lying in bed looking out the window. Pelican's Perch was perfectly pleasant.

Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Hosts

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The owners were fantastic with communication - no middle person management company to deal with. They were aware that we were looking forward to a week of fishing and even went above and beyond by fixing the ramp after Francine so we could access the pier. The house had everything we needed for cooking, including grills and pots/pans. We had a wonderful time. While there were ice trays available (no automatic ice maker), we made a couple of trips to the local ice vending machine to fill our cooler. Thank you to Leanne and Tim for allowing us to stay at your property for the week!

One word: Heaven!!!!

My husband and I own a small tourist-run business on the Florida Emerald Coast. After a particularly busy and so hot and humid summer, we seriously needed to relax. I booked this rental for arrival on September 26. Unfortunately Hurricane Helene started causing our area concern a few days earlier. Tim was so flexible and understanding and allowed us to move our check-in date up a day so we could avoid any storm related traffic. He also gave us the option of keeping our check-out date or leaving a day earlier. To have someone so accommodating, removed much of the stress of trying to go on vacation while preparing for a hurricane hit. The house was everything we had hoped for - even better than the photos and description. It is on a quiet, tree-lined street with wooded lots either side. Sitting out on the back deck over-looking the Mississippi Sound watching Skimmers, Gulls, Great Egrets and Sandhill Cranes and flocks Pelicans was the perfect way to start each morning. We kayaked in the mornings, went downtown Ocean Springs for brunch, took short trips to Biloxi and spent afternoons in New Orleans. Perfect house, perfect location, amazing hosts. We are already planning our next stay!!!

Our family enjoyed a relaxing vacation with a beautiful view and the soothing sound of the gulf. The pier is an extra perk, we used the supplied crab traps and caught some crabs, we even tried our luck with a cast net and caught lots of shrimp

Miksi majoittaja valitsi tÀmÀn majoituspaikan

This is one of the best kept secrets of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Ocean Springs has a fun, vibrant arts scene and is only a 20 minute drive to the high end restaurants and casino's in Biloxi. We love how secluded it is - we can escape coming here but have the luxury of movies and other family activities close by.

MikÀ tekee tÀstÀ majoituspaikasta ainutlaatuisen

This is truly a home away from home. Our home has everything we need to stay for weeks and months at a time. We love the unobstructed views, close proximity to the boat launch but mostly enjoying things with the kids that we did growing up - playing outside without worrying! Fishing, kayaking, having campfires, playing board games or darts and bocce. Memories are made here each time we come. We look forward to sharing this with you.
