Wonderful

Staff was VERY RUDE and room was extremely noisy as it was right by the road plus the ac was LOUD and could barely sleep!!.
Good thing we only needed a place to rest our heads to continue our road trip to Key West!
Definitely will not be staying there again.
Cottages are clean and comfortable. Just be sure to get one of the larger units. I had cottage with 2 Queens and a full kitchen. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Within walking distance of 3 decent restaurants and a Walgreens.
The staff was very helpful and attentive. Although we were closer to the main road, it was still very quiet. The resort is nicely secluded, had a nice beach area, and free kayaking. We had a great view of the sunset from one of the three docks that allow boats(also has a boat launch). There are 3 prime restaurants just a couple doors down that we walked to. We would definitely stay again!
When I first arrived I was dissatisfied. About a half hour later I loved it. The views from the docks and beach were spectacular. While it was not as fancy as the typical resort, it was more relaxed, quieter, comfortable, personal, and enjoyable. I would go there again as would all 20 of our group. Once we got over the lack of a bar and restaurant we felt more at ease land really enjoyed it.

Great cottages very clean n quiet place right on waterfront
I hadn't been to the Keys in about 40years; Booking a room at the Pelican Cottages was a lucky find! Being able to stroll down to the dock was a treat for early am coffee or a happy hour moment was lovely and the colorful Adirondack chairs made for a good sit waterside. Our room was comfy, but next time I will make sure we have a little kitchenette and we are a bit closer to the water. The staff was great; friendly check in girls; ladies tidying the rooms and the ground keepers were lovely - they would take time to converse and share info about local happenings. Only 2 downsides - the Wi-fi access was a bit of a pain as we had to continually log in and at we were bumped out while online. There are kayaks available which is a bonus - but they need to re-vamp the seats in the kayaks as they are messed up. Water is calm - you can snorkel if inclined, but not a lot of interesting fish to see . Some folks were fishing dockside, but didn't look like they were catching keepers. Overall - good experience though- we would return!
The beach front is by far the best part of the hotel. Plenty of shade on the beach. Free kayaks. There are three docks on the property which is a great place for sunset and stars.
Room was great. Clean and beds very comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Location is close to restaurants and various store. Also close to key Largo community center (YMCA) which is great for liesurely walks.
I highly recommend.

While the accommodation was basic, it was clean and comfortable. The AC units were a bit noisy but worked well and were very necessary due to the heat and humidity during a Keys fall! The location could not have been better - superb views over the Gulf of Mexico and spectacular sunsets. I am sure there are more sumptuous hotels but the Pelican was well worth trying.
Staff was very accommodating, We were there for our 48th anniversary. Asked to change reservation to a beach front cottage. They were very accommodating moved us to a beach front cottage, king size bed full kitchen. They gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate. Room change was easy no hassle
We got the smallest room available on the property but it felt like the best experience we could get. Friendly, helpful staff, great beach nice property convenient location. All around great spot.
Check in was simple! Cottage is amazing, clean and beds are super comfortable. Bonus is the view and activities available. Even though we were checking out they offered us to still use the kayaks before we left. Definitely would stay here again!
