**The Pelican Beach HOA is undergoing an elevator modernization project. They are installing brand new elevators, so there may be periods of delays in using the working elevators. We appreciate your patience while they are making these improvements! **

**The Pelican Beach HOA is replacing the coat/seal on the upper floor and ramp of the parking garage, as well as both tennis courts. This project is expected to begin in December and last 3 months. During this time the upper parking garage, tennis / pickleball courts, and EV chargers will not be accessible. The covered parking garage will be closed in sections while they work overhead. We appreciate your patience while they are making these improvements! **

Hear from our happy guests!
⭐️ Where do I begin? First off, the condo was absolutely stunning. The location was the best, as everything was within walking distance. The actual unit was immaculate. It was very clean, spacious, and full of amenities. The check-in process was seamless, as well as the check out process. Being able to literally walk outside to the beach was my favorite part aside from the beautiful views from the balcony.⭐️
⭐️Great location, beach, and amenities. Condo was clean and comfortable-looked just like the pictures. Tiki bar and cafe were great, and staff were friendly and helpful. Nicely kept grounds and pools. We had an amazing trip! ⭐️
⭐️ The location was unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the white sand and clear water every day. The host was friendly and responsive, ensuring we had a smooth check-in and a great experience overall. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore, this is the perfect spot. PS the tiki bar drinks were some of the best I’ve ever had!⭐️
