Amazing Beach House

This was an extremely clean and beautiful home. We traveled from out of state so it was great to have the beach chairs and towels provided. The mosquitos were pretty bad but there was a fogger the night before we left.

Weekend Getaway

The house was nicely furnished and very clean. The host had thought of “all the things” we could possibly need while away from home. Location in the neighborhood was perfect. It was just a short walk to the beach.

Great Beach House!

This house is very clean, comfortable & close to the beach (just a couple houses from the beach front). Our family of four with two teenagers enjoyed our getaway immensely! This was our first time trying Surfside, and we liked the laidback feel of the area.

Amazing stay!!!

This is our second time to stay at the Purple Pelican! We LOVE the cleanliness, comfortable beds, and great location! The kitchen is well stocked and the closet is packed with whatever you may need on the beach! The Hicks family is most hospitable!! We will continue to stay here as long as we can - our family is growing so we may need a bigger house soon! Thank you, Purple Pelican!! Best vacation ever!!! (For the second time!)

Peaceful Perfection

The owners are amazing, they were very informative on everything about the home. The home was set up with everything you need. Spotless, clean, beds were comfortable. Plenty of things to do, easy access to the beach and so peaceful and laid back. We will definitely visit again! The owners were AMAZING!!!! Do not miss a chance to visit this place, it is everything you imagined and more! The views were amazing and it literally is a VERY short walk to the beach and you can have views from all sides! Purple Pelican Rocks and would recommend to those who are looking for a perfect getaway!

Best home away from home

Wow is an understatement! The Purple Pelican is by far the best host we have experienced with VRBO. The house is clean, cozy, and has everything you need. If you have any questions, they respond quickly. We aren't beach people, and prefer the mountains, but the Purple Pelican has us looking at future dates to return!! Thank you to Purple Pelican for providing a home away from home.

Everything you need!

My friends and I were especially impressed by this property. Literally everything you might need for a beach trip was provided, from a beach canopy to beach chairs and towels, a grill, toiletries and a hair dryer... And the dishes and cookware in the kitchen were of very good quality and plentiful! It is not one of those places where they only give you their leftover junk to use. The house was decorated so cute and you are literally steps from the bridge to the beach. Don't forget your mosquito spray because they are plentiful, although we never had an issue on the terrace, only on the ground floor. This would be a great place for two families with children or just a group of adults like we were. We plan to return!
