Our family trip for a long-awaited winter break was made exceptional by staying at a wonderful condo on the palm coast named Pelican watch.
The resort area (grounds and exterior building) was well maintained, and the pool and weight room were in great condition and easy access from our condo.
Upon entering the condo, you are stuck by its size of the living space and view of the ocean and beach. What you immediately noticed was the size of the patio. It was spacious and the furniture was in great condition. Every morning we enjoyed coffee out on this patio and in the evening, we watched the night sky after dinner.
The house came stocked with all the basics that you need upon an arrival at a home. The availability of basic household items (towels, hand soap, dish soap, and toilet paper) was a huge plus for those of us arriving later in the evening.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, clean, and well maintained. The living and dining spaces were bigger than we expected. The dining room hardwood table made a perfect dinner and game table. The kitchen was a bit small but had nice appliances and was well stocked with pans, plates, glasses, and utensils. A big plus for a family vacation was the large pantry to store our groceries.
The beach is wonderful in size, family friendly for beach games and to lay out in plentiful Florida sun. There are a lot of large rocks along the shoreline of the beach area at the condo that makes it a challenge to get into the water. But I found that if you go south by about 200 yards the rocks fade away and there are some great sandy beach areas for wading in the water. Overall, the beach area is very nice.
At the boardwalk to/from the beach there is a shower area where you can wash off the sand when you were returning to the condo. One of the nicest touches about this area was that every day a very nice maintenance person would clear out the shower areas from the prior days sand deposited. It’s a little thing but made a big difference to have a clean area to wash off the beach sand prior to going to the condo.
Staying at this condo was a joy and our excellent host Sue made sure we had all the paperwork taken care and she was super friendly and assisted us in making our trip an excellent time.
So, if you are looking for a terrific place to take a break from reality Pelican watch is a great choice.
