This home was one of the most beautiful rentals we have stayed in at any beach, cozy and chill. The layout with the screened in porches, oversized swing and enough TVs to allow people to spread out. Having beach equipment made it even better. ##### Laura B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie J. 12 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful We were blown away by this property. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need to prepare your family meals. We loved the two porches and spent lots of time in the swinging bed. The pictures do not do this place justice. The bathrooms were great and the beds were all comfy. This is our third trip to the island and we plan on staying at the Pelican’s Perch again in the future. ##### Stephanie J. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas W. 30 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend Relaxation Getaway The property was very nice and clean. We loved the back porch especially and having the golf cart to ride around on the island. I would like to mention that the living room fan wall switch should be labeled similar to the other wall switches. Also, the tv remotes were a little confusing as to which one to use for tv vs. cable box, specifically in the master bedroom. But overall we had an awesome time and plan to come back as soon as possible! ##### Thomas W. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023
