Pelican Point is a traditional Hatteras cottage that has been fully updated, but without losing the simple island charm reminiscent of the more remote Ocracoke Island, where live oaks stand watch over one-story cottages and small family cemeteries that tell the story of the island. In fact the cottage is built by the site of the traditional homestead and resting place of some of the original settlers in the area. Their homestead lasted hundreds of years on the high ground by the live oaks, with the land where Pelican Point now stands serving as the family farm and route to the wetlands and sound for hunting and fishing. Although the original homestead has made way for development, some of the descendants still live near Pelican Point and are great neighbors with wonderful stories to tell! To help make your stay as enjoyable and relaxed as possible, we have teamed with Dawn Waldrop a premier property manager and owner of Black Dog Harbor Services (BDHS), based next door to Pelican Point. BDHS will clean and prepare Pelican Point for your arrival; provide bed linens and make the beds; and stock the house with an initial supply of paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent and trash bags to get you started. BDHS is just a phone call away to take care of any problems or concerns during your stay!
