Best vacation everr
This house is our absolute favorite...it is so convenient to the beach access and plenty of room for the entire family. We love the outdoor area for grilling and hanging out in the evening. Will definitely be back for many more stays...
This is our forever Florida place to stay. Pictures don’t do this place justice. It is a shorty walk to the beach then when have stayed right on the beach. Perfect place to stay.

Great location
We booked last minute when other friends were staying in a condo. This house was very close to theirs as well as to the beach and very spacious. I would choose a house any day over a condo or hotel. Kitchen was well stocked. AC unit worked great and cooled appropriately( no sleeping hot). Bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our family.

Awesome stay
The house has everything we needed for our weeklong vacation. It is located right by the beach, really just steps of the sand. The house itself is spacious and there are different areas to hang out, including a game/hangout room next to the living room... we spent most of the time in the outdoor areas which were great.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed.
The house was super clean and well furnished. The rooms were spacious and welcoming.
The backyard was a plus for our dog who was with us.

Can’t wait to come back!
We absolutely loved this home. It was cozy and was in the perfect location. The only thing I noticed was a lot of dog poop in the back yard, it was not our dogs as I noticed right when we arrived. I did pick some up so the kids could play and not step in it. There was also dog hair on the chairs in the side living room. Neither of these impacted our stay though! I just wanted to mention it so I did not get held accountable for that as I disposed of my dogs feces and did not allow her on any furniture. Other than those two things it was absolutely perfect! We had an amazing time and would absolutely come back again!

Nice stay at Pelican's Nest
Overall, we had a nice stay. This place is in a great location with beach entrance just across the street and in a neighborhood with mostly homes; not right near the huge high rises. The beach was not as crowded. We enjoyed the 4 block walk to Alibi's Bar and Grill for music, food and trivia. The house is dated and could use a deep cleaning and updates, but we were plenty comfortable. Note there is no dishwasher, but that is not a problem for us. There was a plumbing leak when we first got there and management responded immediately. Steve from maintenance was extremely nice and the problem was fixed promptly. Lastly, it would have been much nicer had the weather been more cooperative...it was downright chilly this week with lows of about 40 and highs in the low 60's and our last day was mostly sunny and 72! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

October paradise!
We absolutely loved our week at Pelicans Nest! It was perfect in every way for our family and pets. The house was very clean and met all our expectations. The outdoor areas were great to relax after a day in the sun. It was located close to everything we needed and the neighborhood was quiet and relaxing, The walkway to the ocean was just across the street which was definitely a plus! Would LOVE to stay there again!!

Nice place
Lots of room and a bathroom for each room!! A wonderful backyard. Super convenient to restaurants. The beach is very close to the house. Wonderful patio- the space available in this house is incredible with tons of sitting options. We enjoyed our stay at the house and recommend it as a place to stay.
Cons- It was disappointing that we were not able to get in until after 5pm on check in day. Also, there were no pantry supplies (salt, pepper, coffee filters, coffee, dish liquid, etc.). This was a huge disappointment for us as we stay in many places that always have items to get you started or to make a quick meal (olive oil, Pam, etc,). As travelers this was very inconvenient.

Great location. Close to everything we wanted to do, plus just across the street from public beach access. Cute little house perfect for my family. It would be nice to have a dishwasher and for the laundry room to be connected to the house, but overall these things were not a big inconvenience. Property management took care of all our requests promptly.

Toilet paper
the house was very clean. However, i would suggest that you leave more toilet paper and towels and washcloths. there was less than 2 rolls of TP in each bathroom and only 2 washcloths and 2 towels. we had to wash every day and had to go to the store to get TP and garbage bags and coffee filters. i would have thought that if you paid nearly 5,000 to stay somewhere for 5 nights that these necessities would have been included.

Great Vacation!
We enjoyed our stay at this location. The house had everything we needed, plenty of room, nice amenities and a short walk to the beach. Special shout out to the property manager who responded quickly and took care of a couple of issues! Thanks for a great week!
Very Very clean and well accommodating space. Parking is snug if you have more than one car. Property is very spacious and spread out for good noise separation and privacy. Games and sitting areas for relaxing and such. Master could hold a small village if needed. Location is about perfect for any vacay type.

Great property for a family
Clean. Easy check-in. Well maintained. I stayed there with my wife and 3 children, and would recommend this property for folks with small children. Easy 20 yard walk to beach access #19. The house is much larger than it appears from the street. The nearest actual grocery store was about 10 minutes drive, which wasn't a problem. It's also close to other local attractions. Good times had here.

Very clean- excellent location
I rarely stay someplace that is sparkling clean when I get there, this home was a pleasant surprise. You could walk around the house barefoot and still have clean feet. The home is cute, and the location is fantastic. The king bed was okay, not super comfy but not terrible either. The twin beds probably need replacing, but it was two of my teenagers in there, so they don’t care like adults do. It was nice that each bedroom had its own bath. Overall we enjoyed our stay. My only frustration was there wasn’t any place to store pantry type food. I have 3 boys and so we tend to cook on vacation rather than eat out every night, but I recognize we are probably an exception. A little pantry cabinet would be awesome. I would stay here again. The walk to the beach is super short, and we pack a lot of stuff.
