The rental was outstanding and in a great location. It was close to the beaches and just a short walk to many shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed having the pool. We were glad the owner took the time to check on us which is not always the case. this was a five stars plus stay!!!

Another great vacation in Lido Key

My wife, children, and their significant others have been going to Lido Key for many years. This is our first time staying at this cottage. We love the area and have stayed in the same neighborhood previously. The cottage is great. Beds are comfortable, close walk to town and the beach. The beach toys and equipment were far above what is typically found in a vacation rental property We will definitely be going back. We had one small issue and the owner was very easy to reach and took care of the problem quickly

Fabulous place

The house is roomy, comfortable, clean, and very well equipped. The proximity to the Lido Beach and St. Armand's Circle can't be beat. The pool was refreshing in the evening and on the days we were too lazy to hit the beach. We and our adult children, their partners, and our 18 year old granddaughter had a wonderful vacation!

Family vacation with my sister

My family and my sister’s family loved staying at the Pelican Cottage. The house was perfect for the 9 of us. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking for all of us. The pool was nice to come back to after hours at the beach. It is a good walk to the beach but worth it, as it was not busy at all where we were (even on Memorial Weekend). We enjoyed being able to walk to Starbuck’s and Ben & Jerry’s. The sunsets at the beach were truly amazing and not a single night looked the same. We would love to come back one day. It is officially our favorite beach vacation ever.

Not much to say other than fantastic

Great location. Great home. Pictures don’t do it justice - family that arrived before us called while we were a few miles out and said to go ahead get ready to be surprised. My in-laws rented the property next door which was super convenient for our large family and we had plenty of room. It made for a trip we won’t forget. So much fun. Being able to walk to St Armands Circle was the icing on the cake. Beautiful beach, pool, amenities..too much to list. We look forward to booking this property again.

Great location

The location of this house is fantastic. Fairly minor problems including questionable items on one bed and very stinky slow drains in one bathroom. The host was responsive and apologetic, which is appreciated. We generally had a very nice stay and the house is as advertised.The kids loved the pool. We had 10 people stay and it was surprisingly spacious and comfortable.

Another Great Stay!

I stayed at Pelican Cottage this past February. This is my third time renting it and it won't be my last. The house is well stocked with everything you'll need and the location can't be beat (leave the car parked and walk to St. Armand's and the beach). All that being said the best part of renting Pelican Cottage are the owners Deb and Ed. They are terrific people! I'm counting down the day until my return.
