Pelican retreat is a lovely home and is a very comfortable walk to the beach, even for us seniors. The pool was also perfect, since we paid extra for it to be heated. It was a great place to relax and in a nice neighborhood. Although, it was clearly “off season” as there were many rentals not being used while we were there. Communication with our Avant Stay team was required twice with prompt responses and resolutions. Two minor complaints: The Avant Stay WiFi for the property (much like a hotel) was cumbersome to use, lost connectivity regularly and was difficult for Android access. There was plenty of dish ware, however, cooking pans and utensils were minimal. (Frying pan handle was loose with no screwdriver to tighten it up.)

This place was great! Very clean, the pool was wonderful, and it was very close to the beach, a very short walk. The management company was very communicative throughout our stay and overall we were very happy. We would definitely stay here again, and hopefully will as we had a wonderful time, highly recommend!

We loved this house. You could not beat the location, one block to the beach. You can walk back from beach for lunch, it is that close!! There is a public beach access at that location at end of street. The bedrooms and closets were very spacious and the pool was fantastic. We spent most of our days in the pool floating around. The shared bathroom is pretty small. We had one person in each of those 2 additional bedrooms, it would be tight if you had max capacity or if you had a bunch of females trying to get ready. The neighborhood is so quant and cute. We rented bikes from the VayK Gear with our credit that we had. Would highly recommend, even if you don't like to ride bikes, you will love riding bikes in this neighborhood. We also rented beach chairs but those were not needed. There were plenty at the house, along with a few noodles, sand bucket etc. I would recommend renting or bringing a wagon or driving to beach and dropping stuff off in the morning. Public beach fills up fast, like 9 am. The only downside at all would be the internet. I was able to get the internet to work on my laptop but not my phone all week. You may need to sign-in each day to gain access. There is also a tad bit of wear and tear probably from renters. The ice maker made ice but you had to get it out by hand from freezer and there were places that need to be repainted on trim, doors and baseboards. We also rented a pontoon boat in Ft Walton Beach for the day and went to Crab Island - We loved it!

We absolutely loved this place! Such a great place to be with your family and fur babies! Great Location and easy walk to the beach! The only downfall occured on our last full day there. We planned a full day out at the pool, but we unable to. The pool guy comes Friday morning (He was great didn't bother us, cleaned and left) then the yard guys came, and blew all the grass clippings in the pool and and made a big mess out back and didn't clean it. There was so much debris in the water there was no swimming our last day.

Couldn’t be happier with the home and all the extra stuff to pack up for the beach “beach chairs” ..easy commute to Whole Foods and 2 blocks from the beach .. heated pool was clutch for the evening and double red flag. So minor things that needed to fixed but not broken 1. Shower head in master needs to be replaced and the faucet in the kitchen needed to be replaced but worked. Ice machine in fridge did not dispense ice however made it. Again very minor things. Overall family was super happy and felt like a 2nd home .. definitely will be re-booking this for next spring break in April.
