We loved our trip to Purple Pelican. The island was nice and we loved the beach access. We had some bad weather but had plenty to do between the pool table and card games. Thanks for an awesome stay and house.

The Purple pelican was a great place for our vacation! We took our dogs and one is over 12 years old so being just a few steps away from the ocean helped so much. It was a clean and beautiful home. We will definitely be back next year! Highly recommend!

We loved this beach house! Beautiful decor and attributes, fully stocked kitchen and 30 steps from the beach with no other houses in between. Open floor plan is excellent and allowed our little for babies for lots of room to run while allowing us to monitor their behavior. Big deck with nice furniture and a secure closing gate allowed us to let the pups out with no worries. And the hand held shower mid-way up the stairs allowed us to rinse off feet and pups after time on the beach, we felt good that we could help keep this place nice while thoroughly enjoying ourselves at the same time… can’t wait to come back!! We’re discussing an extended family vacay at this location, can comfortably house our adult children and their significants all under one roof, with 3 full baths to share! Great layout!

We loved Purple Pelican! It was a last minute getaway for us after some other plans had to be canceled. It was so comfortable, well furnished, and clean. The view/location was great, and we loved our time there!

This house was right on the beach with a nice sandy front for the kids to play on and still be right near the water. However the house was NOT clean when we got there. Most of it was fine but one of the bedrooms had dog hair allll over the floor and in the sheets! Like, a lot of long dog hair all between the sheets and we didn’t even have a dog so that was pretty nasty to have to sleep on that the first night and then wash our own sheets the next day for them to be clean. The washer is COVERED in mold and mildew so I wasn’t sure how clean our clothes were getting. 1 bath mat between 3 showers. Most stuff we could over look but that dirty room and bed was bad.

It was so nice to walk out door and be on a clean private beach.

Overall a great vacation rental. Pool table provided much entertainment during the evenings and when it was raining. The beach views were perfect from the deck. Plenty of room in the house for 5 adults. Kitchen was well stocked.
A cracked glass pane on a kitchen cabinet was worrisome. It needs replaced! Joint seams on kitchen counter tops need re caulked. Lots of food deposited there. Fitted sheets would not stay on mattresses- not sure why, but it was irritating.
Overall would recommend staying here.

We had no internet most of our vacation. We could not watch TV in 2 of the bedrooms no Netflix or prime. When I called the property manager they were hateful and acted like I was an inconvenience.
The house could use a good cleaning but other than that it was as described.

The location of the home is wonderful. Overall it really is wonderful. It needs some TLC. We had to move a ton of Knick knacks and personal items out of the way to even be able to put our stuff in the house. The cleaning ladies don’t seem to do much more than a quick breeze through. The layout is perfect for families. The master bedroom mattress is less comfortable than the other king room. I would suggest this room even though it doesn’t have a bath. The pool table made for fun game nights. The dining table is great! I would not plan on doing any laundry at the home as the washer is front load & full of mold. My husband is severely allergic to mold so this was a little bit of an issue. The ring needs to be replaced & the door needs to be left open.

We absolutely loved this house! The pictures didn’t do it justice! The views, soft beds, spacious living room and kitchen were amazing! There is nothing better than being right on the beach so you don’t have to load all of your stuff up! If you have kids you can just sit on your deck and watch them play in the sand! I definitely recommend this house!

Perfect!
I cannot give the Purple Pelican enough stars. I was skeptical due to limited number of reviews but we could not have been more pleased. And Dauphin Island Real Estate personal was always friendly and helpful.
*The biker/walker/runner lane along the road was great.
*This house was clean, lots of storage for belongings, modern & quality products, quiet - even between rooms, tons of kitchen supplies, and right on the beach. What more could you ask for?!
*Smart television in each bedroom (for when you need to escape for some quiet) and the living room. Plenty of space to spread out - great for multiple families.
*We enjoyed visiting the gift shops, marine lab, Fort Morgan, and local restaurants.
*We will definitely be back!!

Only 4 stars because the outside lift was not available which for an older person could be important
Overall it was just wonderful for me & my family. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were all comfy! Having the pool table sure was great during times of the rainy cold weather. That being said my grandchildren enjoyed playing on the beach & in the water which was so close! The Purple Pelican was just perfect for our January vacation. I would definitely rent it again!
