It was a wonderful get away. The house was so close to the beach just steps away. Private boardwalk down to the beach. My favorite thing at the house was to sit on the deck and watch and listen to the waves roll in. House was large and well stocked. If you are looking for something right on the water with beautiful views this is perfect.

Great house

The location was perfect for a relax and unwind vacation. From the photos, I thought it was 70’s paneling, but when we got there it is actually wood planking floor to ceiling for a rustic charm that just feels incredibly cozy! The beds were really comfortable and we found everything we needed.

Loved the location

We enjoyed our stay at As Pelicans Pass. It was fun to walk right out and be on the beach. The only thing that would have made the stay better was to have had some beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, sand toys) available to borrow and enough beach towels for each of us staying at the house. Since we flew, we weren’t able to bring anything like that with us.

We had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful view. The open floor plan was perfect and so was the dining table! The deck is a little hot during the day with no shade but the mornings and evenings are perfect! We saw dolphins every morning. We hope to be back next year!

Much needed vacation!!!!!!

We thought the house and location were great. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed or wanted. We liked the wood on the inside of the house, like having a cabin at the beach. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating was because the cleaning crew did not do a very good job. But like I said, we loved the house and location and did not want to leave! We would like to stay there again.

Beautiful location and house was comfortable

Only downside was dishwasher was broken and they sent a new one but it never got installed. Could use a better shower head and needs to be sprayed for roaches. It was comfortable and the porch fantastic views of the gulf. Wish they had called me back about dishwasher but overall we enjoyed ourselves!!

quiet beach stay

We had lovely stay at Pelican's Pass. The cabin is right on the beach, and the beach was fairly quiet in September, even on the weekend. The cabin was clean and well-maintained, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The only drawback was a good amount of jelly fish in the water. I brushed past one as well as one of the kids, and we felt prickly and itchy for the next couple of hours. It wasn't too bad though.
