The Wild Pelican was as close to perfect as you could get. It was such a great space for our little family and young children. Wonderful memories were made. We'd love to stay here again! Tara's attention to decor made everything feel cozy. My littles even slept all night in their own rooms! That's a gift to us parents.

Stop your search and just book this place, you will not be disappointed!!! We stayed here with two families, 4 adults and 4 kids; It was the perfect house. It had everything you could want and then some. So much to do from the pool to hot tub, outdoor movies every night with the projector, game room and mini golf… we spent most of our time in the 4 season porch relaxing while kids swam or watched movies in the hot tub. There are not enough characters available in this review to cover everything, but this place is hands down the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at. We also don’t like to go to the same place twice, but this place would be somewhere we would go every year because it’s just that great!! Also, great location near local beaches! We did a different beach every day then came home to swim all afternoon. Such a great trip and this place made it that much better. Cheers to the Wild Pelican, we hope to see you again!

The house is absolutely beautiful—exactly as pictured. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up to make us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Our two young boys especially loved the pool and the game room; they were entertained the entire time! Even though our stay was short, we truly felt right at home. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

The house is perfect, warm and inviting. The space is designed so intentionally. We enjoyed sharing meals around the big dining room table and relaxing outside by the pool. The bedrooms were cozy and comforting after busy days at the beach. Tara has thought of everything...from providing endless activities to entertaining kids to making sure the house is equipped for all you need to enjoy a day at the beach. this house is great for a relaxing weekend away, family-friendly, in a great location, and perfect in every way!

We had an amazing stay at Wild Pelican House! We brought three ten-year-old girls, and they absolutely loved the pool, hot tub, and arcade room — they had the best time! The house was clean, beautiful, and perfect for our girls trip. We would definitely recommend it 🌴✨
