The Space:

BookSmart Properties Presents: The Lazy Pelican!



Walk through the front door and you're greeted with the comfortable and homey feel of the farmhouse-style beach house! Soothing cool colors and decor make this place relaxing, so you can unwind. It has a well-equipped kitchen. Gorgeous gray granite counters and a captivating chandelier above the kitchen island with more seating steal the show. This open-concept kitchen and living room serve perfectly for those evening meals you'll cook together as you watch a movie or play board games. There is a stacked washer and dryer off to the side, so you wont worry about wet towels and sandy swimsuits.



Two bedrooms are located on each side of the house, combined with Jack and Jill bathrooms. No bedroom is decorated the same, and you'll admire the thought put into each one. All bedrooms besides the master have additional seating so you an bury your nose in a book before bed, but don't worry-wireless internet access is included. There is a large television mounted in the living room. Other televisions are wall-mounted in both bunk bedrooms. The bunk room with a standard twin over twin bunk bed also contains a twin trundle for extra sleeping space.



The vacation rental welcomes one well-behaved and house-trained dog, weighing 35 lbs or less, per reservation year-round. For the courtesy of all of our guests, our house rules are that dog is not allowed on the furniture or beds, must be flea and tick free, is healthy and up to date on shots. The dog is not allowed in the swimming pool and must be nonaggressive and friendly (as service personnel may be onsite for lawncare/pool/cleaning/exterminating etc). We know your dog is part of your family and want them to feel welcome too, but we also want others to enjoy the clean and comfortable feeling of our house! Please note that no cats are allowed, as the owners are allergic.



The fenced-in outdoor oasis is highlighted with an inground saltwater pool and a jetted seating area. Heating is even available upon request for those chillier evenings. Plenty of space for sunning in the loungers by the pool. Enjoy dining and socializing under the sunshade by day and carnival lights by night. There is also a spacious grassy play area for games! On the front of the house, there's a screened-in porch with comfortable seating and a cafe table to enjoy your morning coffee, listen to the ocean and smell the salt air. Bikes are also available! Exact count is subject to change, but it is usually around 4 adult bikes, and 2 kid bikes. There is beach gear you are welcome to use, around 6 chairs and 1 beach cart, but the exact number and condition may vary.
