About this property

Pelican's Perch - Ocean Views! Beach is Right Across the Street!

  • If you're looking for a centrally-located house with abundant ocean views and easy beach access that's not far from anything on Pleasure Island, then look no further. Pelican's Perch's 2nd row centre island location is just 1/4 mile from the Kure Beach and Carolina Beach line. You can walk diagonally across the street to our community's private beach access with gazebo, or ride a bike to any location on the island. Our main living area is on the top floor which gives awesome views of the ocean and also the colourful homes in the area. Ample decks outside the 2nd floor bedrooms and the upper floor living area give the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, enjoy the ocean view with a good book in hand, or just enjoy each other's company with the nice view and ocean breeze. The entire ground floor deck with an outdoor shower is surrounded by lattice for privacy. It's hidden from view and offers some shielding from the morning sun, but you can still see out and feel the ocean breeze. The garage area contains various bikes and beach supplies to help make your stay more fun. A ping pong table and a video game system will provide some indoor fun on rainy days or when you've had enough sun for the day. When the day is done, then sleep in comfort in the nicely-decorated 4 bedrooms equipped with queen beds, dreaming about what the next day on the island will bring.
    Pelican's Perch isn't just a rental - It's our second home, and we're continually improving it so that it will be the best it can be. We love this home's 2nd row location and beautiful ocean views, and it is situated so conveniently to all points on the island. We believe Pelican's Perch is one of the best second row homes on the island, and we hope that you will enjoy staying there as much as we do.
    Please read the following important information before booking a stay in Pelican's Perch:
    There is a 3 day minimum stay with no specific required day of check-in or check-out during most of the year except for the summer high rental season. During that time there is a 7 day minimum stay running from Saturday to Saturday. When booking, feel free to send us a message including any questions that would be relevant to your group's needs. If you're planning to bring a furry friend, then we are dog-friendly. We allow up to two small and well-behaved dogs, up to 25 lbs each. Dogs are the only pets we allow and each dog must be approved by us prior to your arrival. No dogs over 25 lbs, cats, or other animals will be allowed.
    Also remember that Pelican's Perch is a non-smoking house both inside and outside on any of the decks.

Perfect location!

We had a wonderful stay at Pelican’s Perch! It has the best location between Carolina and Kure Beach’s. The private beach access was so easy right across the street. Barbara the property manager was wonderful as well. We can’t say enough about the great property!

Great family beach week!

We had a wonderful time at Pelican’s Perch. The location to the beach is perfect as are the ocean views. We all slept great in the comfy beds. They were well stocked with detergent, kitchen essentials, trash bags and dishwasher pods. Thank you and can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful beach trip!

We had a wonderful stay! The ocean view is great, you can sit on the deck and watch the sun rise over the ocean. The beach access is a very short walk across the street. The owner is very prompt and helpful with communication, and really went above and beyond! Barbara was also great and let us know about local events going on. The house is clean and spacious and provided a great environment for our family to make memories on vacation. This our second time staying here, and we have had wonderful experiences both times!

Great trip

The property was great and more than described. However, the steps are real, everything has steps, it’s a definite workout. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed for any meal. The family areas were the best for everyone to relax. The bedrooms were very spacious, and the beds were all comfy. The showerheads in the bathrooms on second level were lacking, but the one on the bottom was awesome. The downstairs game room was great and we couldn’t hear the teenagers upstairs which was a plus. The ping pong table and corn hole boards were awesome. We had a great trip and great weather.

Awesome house!

This is our third time staying at Pelican’s Perch and our family loves it! The house is furnished with basically everything you need. All we carry is our clothes and food. They have enough beach chairs and umbrellas for our family (5 adults, 2 toddlers and baby). You can sit on the deck with your morning coffee and watch the sun come up over the ocean. Beach access is almost directly across from the house and so nice that it’s private and you don’t have to pay for parking. The owners are so fast to respond to you and Barbara the property manager is great to work with. We look forward to coming back again next year.

Amazing property! My three teenage daughters appreciated having their own space to retreat to while on vacation. Can’t beat the location - we appreciate being in a more quiet setting but close enough to all of the fun in Carolina Beach. And the walk to the beach is extremely close, which is stellar. This was our second year at this property and we look forward to possibly another.

Pelicans perch was just perfect for our families. Directly across from the beach with a beautiful view of the ocean. The three floors gave everyone enough space. The common areas were adequate for everyone to get together. The deck was beautifully appointed. The towels were plenty, the beds were comfortable, and all the Beach equipment was just perfect. Compared to Wrightsville Beach Kure Beach felt like a vacation. No traffic, hassles, no crowds, plenty of places for all types of food and very relaxing.

Pelican's Perch has become our family's favorite beach spot! The house is gorgeous and clean, the location can't be beat, and the property manager is tremendously supportive and responsive. When the grill went out, it was replaced immediately. This year, we really enjoyed riding through the neighborhood to the gorgeous bike path, with enough bikes in the garage for our family. The the view of the beach from the decks allows for a beautiful view of sunrises. The host is always very responsive in communication. We look forward to staying again next year!!
