Perfect for families!
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was right on the beach and had direct access to walk down easily. Our golf cart fit down the walkway easily as well. The golf cart wasn't necessary but was fun for the kids and helped with carrying down large canopies to the beach. I highly suggest the linen package. It would have been more work for us to bring everything and wash everything before we left. My only suggestion is if you have a toddler or child you want to keep from going down the stairs, bring large zip ties for the baby gate. There is a baby gate provided but it was not large enough to fit the outside stairs. The kitchen was fully stocked and had basic spices and coffee items. Plenty of cookware and a crockpot.

Absolutely the best experience for us! Private location & great beach access! Will be staying again!
Very easy to get checked in & house was nice and well stocked. We got the linen package simply because we wanted to hv everything readily available. Plenty of room for everyone and the best location!

Far exceeded my expectations
We loved staying at the Pesky Pelican. The location was perfect almost private beach access a very short 2 min walk from the porch to the beach. Very quiet area on the beach. It rained almost the whole time we were there which was unfortunate but the house had games and plenty of covered porch downstairs for the kids to play with the shells they had collected and other games. Great outdoor shower, had two charcoal grills downstairs, had several picnic tables downstairs, well equipped kitchen, great bedroom layouts to accommodate everyone, easy check-in and out process. The only thing I would recommend is going directly through SWEDES Management to rent as it is a little cheaper and can save you some additional fees.
