Best choice!

The property was exactly as portrayed in the description and pictures. But, the many extras are hard to include. The host provided so many thoughtful extras - laundry detergent, shampoo(in case you forgot yours), a few coffee pods with cream and sugar.We arrived earlier than expected and the cottage was ready and waiting for us! The cottage was so nicely decorated and looked new. Comfy beds and cloud soft pillows welcomed us after a fun day of fishing, bicycling, and exploring.Perched on the edge of Mobile Bay, we were often visited by dolphin venturing into the canal and a solitary alligator cruising the bank!Sitting on the sofa, you are able to watch the sunrise and sunset.This was a rare treat!Thank you, Nicki!

Sweet little cottage

We loved Pelican's Perch. Our usual house in that same neighborhood was booked for the week we wanted so we chose this little cottage. It has fantastic views, even from the inside you can see everything. Furniture was comfortable, clean and the cottage itself was clean. Very cozy! The king bed was not that great, in our opinion. The beach area and dock are great. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the chairs provided. We also brought our own chairs and sat under the house in the afternoons enjoying the cool breeze. The cottage was a lot smaller than what we've rented in the past. There was not a lot of space in the bathrooms to "unpack your stuff". Also, in the kitchen, there isn't really anyplace to put all the groceries, etc. except the countertops. There is not a dishwasher. OH wait, that's me! :) They provided hand soap, dish soap, a roll of paper towels and toilet paper, If you are only staying a week it was plenty. The neighborhood is quiet. We watched dolphins out in the bay everyday. And there was an neighborhood alligator that was fun to watch from afar. Nicki, our host, was very responsive even answering questions before our stay. That is always appreciated! It was a great stay! We would definitely consider renting this cottage again.

Relaxing at its best

I would give Pelican’s Perch more than 5 stars if I could. This place is an amazing property on the bay with a very short walk of about 5 minutes to the beach on the Gulf side. The house was just as it was pictured and was immaculately clean when we arrived. Nicki was a great host and you cannot go wrong with a stay here when visiting the area. I know that this will be the first property I check on when we are planning another trip.

Like new home in beautiful condition. Very clean. Gorgeous Bay view from living room. Comfortable King bed, living room furniture is extremely nice. More than likely my new “home away from home”! Hope to return soon. The only reason not to book this place is if it has already been booked by someone else…The host was great and had great communication.

Great cottage!

1) The hosts were very friendly and responsive. 2) The cottage has recently been renovated and the results are amazing. No corners were cut, and the attention to detail is very apparent. The new furniture in the living is very nice looking and sturdy. 3) The sanded area around the camp is great for kids. 4) Five minute walk to the Gulf. It was relatively clear while we were there. 5) We caught many Pinfish, Pig fish, and even a tiny Spanish Mackerel (threw it back of course) in the bay. I can't think of anything negative.

Great week away

We will be back! Nikki was awesome thruout the process. The house was so clean which was nice after some places we stayed in past. Everything you need is here. Only 1 tiny suggestion is to put up a full length mirror on a door somewhere. I have 3 girls and they needed it bad but other than that everything was great!
