We had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful view. The open floor plan was perfect and so was the dining table! The deck is a little hot during the day with no shade but the mornings and evenings are perfect! We saw dolphins every morning. We hope to be back next year!

Much needed vacation!!!!!!

We thought the house and location were great. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed or wanted. We liked the wood on the inside of the house, like having a cabin at the beach. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating was because the cleaning crew did not do a very good job. But like I said, we loved the house and location and did not want to leave! We would like to stay there again.

quiet beach stay

We had lovely stay at Pelican's Pass. The cabin is right on the beach, and the beach was fairly quiet in September, even on the weekend. The cabin was clean and well-maintained, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The only drawback was a good amount of jelly fish in the water. I brushed past one as well as one of the kids, and we felt prickly and itchy for the next couple of hours. It wasn't too bad though.

Great Location just 15 Minutes from Town

Great Beach access. I have physical issues and loved the ramp all the way down to the beach. The Dunes have piled up on the ramp making it a bit unsafe to walk on but it is to be expected when going to the beach. The house was very clean and only slightly dated. The microwave door did break on me when I went to use it but stuff like that just happens with so much use. The other houses are close but not close enough to hear what's going on from the other homes from the inside and when outside you're so close to the beach you can barely hear anything else. I will be staying here again.

Very rustic

This house would fit just right in Gatlinburg as well as the beach. All wooden interior (floors, walls, ceilings, in all rooms). I mention this because if you want fancy/upscale this is not for you. If you want simple and comfortable this is it. Good beach access and great view left to right of the area. The house is aptly named in that I counted 46 pelicans one day flying low across the water all in their single file formation. Sand burrs were a problem in the yard for our dog. Just had to find the best areas where they were not prevalent (at the end of the driveway near the mail box). Great location near the Indian Pass raw bar and not that far from Port St Joe. My wife and I have been coming here for almost 10 years and enjoy the variety of houses available in the area.

It was a wonderful get away. The house was so close to the beach just steps away. Private boardwalk down to the beach. My favorite thing at the house was to sit on the deck and watch and listen to the waves roll in. House was large and well stocked. If you are looking for something right on the water with beautiful views this is perfect.
