The property was great! It was very clean and well kept. It had everything my family and I needed. It was close to the beach and the rest of the amenities in Oceanside Village. The owners were also super sweet. They were easy to communicate with, checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our stay and they checked on us after we had an issue with our vehicle, they made sure we were ok.

August 2024 trip

My family and I just returned from our stay at the playful pelican. The host thought of everything you could want or need during the stay and the personal touches were sweet. It was nice to be able to use the golf cart, the pools, basketball courts ect. The best part was being so close to the beach.There were bikes and beach things available if needed. The house was very clean and decorated so cute. We will definitely be back.

Good location

The location in the park and proximity to the beach was great. We appreciated the use of the golf cart and the bikes. There were many extras in the kitchen and the decor is very cute. The bathroom could use some attention as it's kind of worn (as expected with a rental that sees a great deal of use). Kevin was readily available for any questions and making sure everything was ok. Overall, I would recommend this rental.

Good but needs some updates

This place would have been 5 stars but some things need updated. It was very clean and cute. The house came with everything you need already so you would only need to buy food and such. It was a great safe location and loved that it came with its own golf cart. For the updates... there are some soft spots in the floor that needs repaired. The bathroom door kept getting stuck and was hard to close. The toilet could use a comfort upgrade as well. The master bedroom bed is not comfortable at all. Needs a better mattress or cover. It would be great if it was updated to a queen. The fan on the screened in porch does not put out any air because the blades were very short. The living room couches could use a update as well. Overall it is a cute place. We enjoyed our stay. It is an older singlewide but with a few updates it could easily be 5 stars. If you bring a dog be careful of the little sticky balls outside. I know this can not be avoided but we kept having to get them off our dogs feet FYI.

Overall, a great house

We recently stayed at this vacation rental house, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The property was exactly as listed, with the added bonus of two beach carts complete with sand toys and boogie boards, which were a huge hit with our family. The house was impeccably clean and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We did encounter a minor issue with the grill, but the owner was responsive and fixed it right away. Additionally, he was very accommodating when we requested that my mother-in-law join us for the last two days of our stay. However, there was one aspect that detracted from our experience. The owner showed up at the property unannounced at least 4-5 times during our week-long stay to attend to various tasks around the house, such as changing a lightbulb, putting a screw in the porch, watering flowers, and bringing in the trash can. These visits were never prompted by us and seemed to be part of his personal to-do list. While we understand the importance of maintaining the property, we felt that these tasks could have been handled before or after our stay, rather than during. It was a bit uncomfortable having him randomly show up. In summary, the house itself was wonderful and met all our needs, but the frequent, unannounced visits from the owner were a bit intrusive. With a bit more consideration for guest privacy, this rental would be absolutely perfect.
