This property was extremely nice. It was clean, well stocked for the kitchen, and with an amazing view. To be quite honest, if I was a multi millionaire I would try to buy the property!

Wonderful stay

The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Our boys loved the bunk beds with the TVs and our King size bed was very comfortable. The view was perfect from our balcony and we were able to see dolphins on our last morning there. So many great restaurants and stores within a mile or 2 of Pelican Beach, so we never had to venture far. Our boys, 8 and 10, swam in every pool and had the best time! We will most definitely be back!
