Our stay at the Scruffy Pelican was great. The property was just as described and it provided everything we needed for a great vacation. It was far enough away from congested areas to enjoy the peace and quiet, but also not too far away from sites and attractions.

The house is cute and location is great; however, the beds/mattresses are very uncomfortable and the living room couches have zero support. If you want to just use house as landing point, its great but no where to relax and be comfortable.

Perfect location in the Tri Village

The place was clean, great location on the ocean.Gave it 4 stars due to the hazardous steps up to the shuffle board. Thought we would enjoy that but no one did main key because of the steps and the board is fairly short.Beds were comfy.

Great location near all of the amenities

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The layout is great with ample spacing between the bedrooms and enough space in the living and dining areas for multiple people. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the beach and golf carts can be rented through the community. We will definitely look to stay here in the future

Great location/neighborhood but home needs TLC

We had an enjoyable stay overall. This was a pet friendly home, but you would never know pets had stayed; it was very clean. The location is great, and the neighborhood was very quiet. I'm only giving a three star rating because this home desperately needs new beds, and none of the upstairs doors work properly.

Relaxing view

I was overall happy with our stay. They’re were a few things that could have been fixed like the front door that was broken in two places with sharp edges (management was called but never came out to fix it) not a huge deal, I just didn’t want anyone to get hurt. The mattresses were super noisy and would wake me up everytime I rolled over - but thankfully the sound of the ocean out my bedroom window made up for that. The view from the deck was amazing especially watching the sunrise. The kids loved being able to walk back and forth to the beach whenever they wanted and the house was fully stocked with family friendly games. We enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic spot and trip

We had an awesome time at the Scruffy Pelican, and would most likely stay there again. Other reviewers complained about the public beach entrance being close to the house. We didn’t find this to be a big deal. It’s not trafficked that much and nearly all the people passing by are nice families. The place was great. It more or less looks just like the images online. My only complaints would be that many of the doors stick badly and are hard to open and close. This is obviously due to the humid air at the beach, but it would be nice if the doors worked better. Also, the bedroom on the main level has the loudest mattress on the planet. You can’t move one inch without waking the entire house.

A few kinks, but overall a good stay

We had a great vacation at Cactus Lane II. Beautiful weather all week at the end of September. We enjoyed the home, however, were shocked that the description nor any of the reviews mentioned that the community beach access runs up the driveway and through the side yard of the home. It was very disruptive to be out grilling dinner or just being outside on the patio and have random people walking by within 10 feet of us. The listing on VRBO specified Private in the title of the home, this feature was anything but private. When we arrived, the home had not be cleaned, the PM did compensate us for this issue, but it was still disheartening to have to spend hours cleaning the home. Despite these issues, we still enjoyed the home and the views are beautiful.

Wonderful and unique

The property is right on the dunes out to the beach with amazing views of the ocean. The main living area is very comfortable with two sofas and a large dining table. Excellent cable television with many channels which we enjoyed watching movies on the one rainy day. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. We were especially pleased with the wrap around deck where we retreated when the winds were too high on the beach. The beach itself is wide and gorgeous. The surf was too rough for swimming but we enjoyed walking with our feet in the water. I do have to mention a couple of not optimal items, but nothing which would keep us from staying again, just information for choosing the property. There are many stairs if one is impaired in climbing. Also, although on the beach front, it is also a long walk to the beach, threw the hilly dunes. There were a few items which weren’t working or were an issue, but property management addressed them immediately. It is an older house with the charms of such, which we love, but someone looking for bright new and shiny; it would not be for them. Looking forward to next year’s visit there.

Beautiful location and quaint octagonal layout

The beauty of this house is its location in front of the dunes and the ocean in one of the quietest villages in the Outer Banks, which is perfect for families with young children or people who are not interested in night life or a lot of entertainment. The second floor open layout with the kitchen, living, dining room and a loft area allows the guests to enjoy beautiful vistas all day long. The house is inundated by light and you can hear the crushing waves. Overall the house was clean, but we found the bathtub/shower not draining due to a huge clump of hair which we had to fish out. Also, the bathroom and kitchen cabinetry (circa 1980s) is in urgent need of replacing with falling doors, delaminated wood and rusty hardware. Finally, the window curtains work for privacy but don't darken the room, so bring a sleep mask if you wish to sleep after sunrise. Communication with the 1 800 number for surf and sound and by email was not good (messages and emails not returned or returned late), but this could be a temporary situation due to understaffing related to the pandemic. In summary, we would return.

Relaxing Vacation

The weather wasn't the best so we didn't spend as much time on the beach. The house itself could use some work. All the screen doors are torn up so you can't leave a door open. The dishwasher wasn't installed properly so it would tip forward when opening the door. They did come fix that after I emailed them pics but never responded to the email to let us know someone is coming. The carpet has several stains but since we had dogs with us we weren't too worried about it. There are thorns from a cactus in the yard that two of the dogs got stuck in their paws. The walk to the beach from the property is not the easiest, definitely not for elderly folks.

Great property!

My husband and I prefer quite, non touristy places and avoid crowds. Social distancing is second nature to us. This area is perfect! The house was great and the layout was just right. We loved the ship’s watch and sat up there watching the rain while drinking our morning coffee. Keep an eye out for the deer on the dunes. They can be hard to spot. The kitchen had ample storage and was larger than homes we’ve lived in. The cabinets might be a little wonky, but honestly I wouldn’t have noticed it if it hadn’t been pointed out in previous reviews. Oh, and the dryer worked fine for us. Yes, the coffee maker was missing a filter basket, but just use 2 filters and it works fine. Overall, it’s a great house and we would definitely stay here again!
