☀️ Sun-Soaked Summer by the Coast w/ Dock & Pool 🎣

🤗 Welcome to summer by the SHORE at The Sandy Pelican, a bright and cheerful Gulf Coast retreat made for long sunny days and easy coastal living. Just a 5-minute stroll to the BEACH, this freshly updated, family-friendly home offers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and laid-back summer vibes.

Another great stay at The Sandy Pelican

This was our second stay at this property, and hopefully not the last. Everything is well maintained and clean and is exactly as advertised. Location is perfect, close to everything but still feels secluded and quiet in the evenings.

location was perfect

Our first family vacation to gulf shores was a wonderful success thanks to Nesting Vacations. They made planning and booking stress free. Made me feel comfortable asking questions as this was my first time ever vacationing. Their advertisement of the property was honest, location was perfect, and their pictures were accurate and up to date. It truly felt like we were at home.

Reunion Stay

We were in town for a Coast Guard reunion. This property was perfect for our group. The house layout is so nice with plenty of space. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Close to everything. The only downside for us was that dogs are not allowed on any beaches there, but of course that has nothing to do with how wonderful the property is.

We absolutely loved our time at the Sandy Pelican!

We absolutely loved our time at the Sandy Pelican! It was spacious for our crew 7. It was our first time getting a whole house instead of a condo for beach vacation so it was nice to feel like we could spread out and have plenty of bedrooms. It was quiet and close to the beach. Loved the access to pier and pool, which was a bonus! It was great knowing there was beach chairs, wagon and towels as it saved room in our car for the road trip down. the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials and beyond. the host provided easy and clear check in and out information so that made everything go super smooth. OUR CREW WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN 😀

House was perfect for our party of 10

House was perfect for our party of 10. We took teens 13-20 yrs of age for a last spring vacation before everyone is on to adult hood. The area upstairs was perfect for those young adults to have their space and is older adults had ours downstairs. Plenty of space with everything you need. We cooked meals 90% of the time. Boys loved the fishing and girls loved the beach, all a super easy walk. Host provided detailed instructions and was quick to respond. Would not hesitate to book here again. The youngest is ready to go back with just her 13 yr old friends....already begging for next vacation! Thank you for such a great place to stay and relax!

Family Fun

The house is beautiful. Plenty of room for our family of 8. My biggest complaint was the location. We were looking for a house directly on the lagoon. I even messaged the management company and specially asked if it was directly on the water and was told yes. It was an easy walk down to the pier & pool, but I enjoy sitting on the decks overlooking the water. It’s a stress relief for me so that was important. I will be renting in this cul-de-sac again. The neighborhood is off the main strip and quiet. We had the pier to ourselves the whole week and only a couple of people were at the pool.
