We had a great honeymoon! The condo was as described.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
Our stay at Pelican Beach Resort Condo was absolutely wonderful! The condo was beautiful and spotless when we arrived, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The views were breathtaking, and my husband and I truly felt right at home throughout our entire stay.My husband is a childhood cancer survivor, so he has to limit his time in the sun. Having the pools and hot tubs right on the property was a huge bonus for us, allowing us to relax and enjoy our vacation comfortably.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are already looking forward to coming back. The host is very easy to deal with and easy to communicate with which is a plus as well Highly recommend!

6 / 10Average·May 2025
Pros: Condo was clean, though a bit outdated. Bed was comfortable and kitchen had most of what anyone would need. Location was great and convenient to beach. Cons: Musty smell (but that’s very difficult to control being so close to beach)Toiletries were VERY cheap and limitedCheck out time is ridiculous (10 a.m.)Owner/Property owner is over-the-top with communications (which are really reiterations of their rules)Overall, just okay…..not the worst VRBO we’ve stayed at, but far from the best.
