Check in very convenient. Good location and quiet despite being the second of three floors. Close to a 0.4 mile walking/ running path to two beaches further south. Parking limited to one car, which didn’t bother us. A few light bulbs out and the shade in the bathroom torn. Overall good for two people.

Summer Family Vacation
We enjoyed staying at this condo complex. Right on the beach; super short walk to the beach and pool. Stephen was responsive and helpful. We left a beloved blanket behind and Stephen and his cleaner are working it out to have it shipped back home to us, which means the world! Would definitely reccomend.

Step Back in Time
If you’re looking for a true family beach vacation that is not commercialized, look no further. This place is like stepping back into my childhood memories of Kure Beach. My kids loved playing on the beach and visiting the pier and arcade.
The owner was very quick to respond to messages and communicated some things that were out of his control but could be seen as an inconvenience. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We absolutely loved our time at Pelican View. For such a last minute booking, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. The property is a little dated - but the purpose is to keep you happy at the beach, and that’s exactly what it did.

Great view but not enough linens
We enjoyed the view but the condo did not have enough towels, sheets or pillows for a family of 5 even though it was advertised to sleep 6. There were no linens provided for the sleeper sofa and we were not informed of this prior to our arrival. When asked about additional towels (4 were provided) and no linens for the sleeper sofa, we were informed they were not provided due to the housekeeper not having time to do the additional laundry between rentals. We enjoyed the view and being on the beach, but host should not advertise this to sleep 6 if unable to provide linens for 6.

Beware of the Check-Out Requirements
Overall, this condo is a good find! We enjoyed the location, especially being oceanfront for the price. It had everything we needed and nothing more. The check out process was a little ridiculous, especially for already paying a cleaning fee in order to book the place. It felt like if the owner could find a way to charge you extra, then they would. For example- a "reorganizing fee" if you didn't put stuff back where you found it. A $50 charge if you didn't put the parking pass on the table. After dryer use, remove the lint. Put dishes in dishwasher and start it, pull sheets off beds and start one load of laundry... like geez why am I paying a cleaning fee if all of this has to be done and on top of that you are charged if you don't. Super annoying! A couple of recommendations for the owner to make it more comfortable of a stay:
1. Listed as having black out shades...they definitely are NOT black out so probably remove that from description if you aren't going to provide them.
2. Maybe put some rugs at the doorways so that people can wipe sand off their feet before they come in and out. Even coming from the deck back inside would be nice.

Closest I Have Ever Stayed to the Ocean
Spectacular views everywhere, spotless, spacious, remote from noise and crowds. You could literally look down from the balcony at the edge of the surf at high tide but was easy to find nice beach space for lounging. If it was mentioned in the listing that the pool was closed I missed it. Granted it is October but the temp was near 80 and we hoped to enjoy a pool. Very close to an impressive aquarium to visit if the weather is bad. Enjoyed Bud & Joes, Freddie's and Jack Mackerel's nearby.
