Fun in the Sun on Topsail Island at the Pelican Pad: A cozy oceanfront condo

In the immediate area there are just places t stay which we liked. There are plenty of places to visit and eat about 12 miles away. We loved this place. Easy access to the beach and great view from the balcony.

Host has gone above and beyond with making this place feel like home.

Clean, quiet, comfortable. Nice ocean view. Will stay here sgain.

This was our second trip to the pelican pad and it was just as good as the first trip last November. It’s a small unit with 1 queen bed then 2 bunk beds recessed in the hallway. As this was a trip for just my wife and I it was more than enough room. Upon arriving the first thing you notice is a welcome amenities basket with water and various small snacks. The kitchen has all the basic things you need to cook a meal if you decide to. The balcony has a great view of the ocean and allows you to see a sunrise if you get up that early on a vacation. Communicating with the owner Davonna was quick and painless both during the booking process and during our stay. Would definitely recommend Pelican Pad if you’re looking for a beach stay.

Host was great. All was as expected. Place was clean and welcoming. More than everything you would need for a wonderful beach stay.

Great spot in a beautiful place!

Beautiful and quiet. Easy check in and check.

Perfect access to the beach and pool, with beautiful views of the ocean. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Great place! Excellent location and the beach was amazing!

We loved our stay and the unit was super cute and cozy. The elevator only worked about half the time we were there and that would be the only negative I would mention, and that is not the fault of the owner of the unit we stayed in.

Was a nice place to stay minus the thunder and fire alarm…lol. Would gladly stay here again

My family and I had a great time here this summer. It had everything we needed and then some! The only thing was that the bedroom always seemed to be warmer than the rest of the place, even at night.

We enjoyed our stay! It had a nice view and sound of the ocean. We could not get the Wifi to work while we were at the condo. Everything else was as described.

Really impressed with the property in the location and the cleanliness and the friendliness and just a five star experience

We had an amazing stay at this location. The property was perfect for our family. It had wonderful views, and the beach access was so nice. Would definitely recommend!

This was a nice, cozy condo in a community on the beach for a reasonable price. Perfect for two people. There are two bunk beds in the hallway for kids but I think it would begin being a little tight with more than that. Communication with the host was great and we were able to immediately enter the condo with not complicated check-in. A/C wasn't working (luckily not much of an issue as it was fairly temperate) but host responded immediately saying someone would come out. Unfortunately, the first time we needed the A/C was the day before we left so the repair wouldn't have helped us. Only nit-pick is the internet: the community uses a common guest internet that you have to click into (like when you're in a hotel) and it disconnects you automatically every several hours. A real pain. Plus, we brought a Roku so we could watch our streaming channels but couldn't get it connected (no ability to click the browser page required for access to the Internet.)

From initial booking throughout the stay communication was excellent. We were informed prior to check in that the AC wasn’t working but had already scheduled repairs. The AC was repaired prior to our arrival and we were notified of same. Upon entering the unit there was a small welcome basket containing small snacks. The unit was great for my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary.the ocean view was beautiful great to wake up and have coffee on in the mornings. Would highly recommend this property.

This was such an excellent location and a perfect property for a family of 4 with two young boys. Clean and perfectly described. Appreciated the awesome porch and kitchen. Made traveling so easy. We found plenty of sharks teeth too!

We had a great experience with this trip. It was our son's 8th birthday and he wanted to spend the weekend at the beach! This property is walking distance to the beach and we were able to see the ocean from our balcony. Room was clean. Very quiet area. Easy check in process. Davonna even gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. Baked pizza and Cancun's are amazing!

I loved this cute condo! Great location right off the ocean. Had everything I needed in the condo. I have already shared this with friends and family, can't wait to go back!

We loved everything about this condo! Everything was clean and as described in the listing. Davonna was great to communicate with and had everything very well organized.

Great location, easy access to beach and pool. Owner had a few beach items we could use that was very handy. Owner has several nice touches/ameninties around the condo.

Great location, wished it had been a little cleaner. We had to do some dusting of ceiling fans and the refrigerator was kinda gross inside. We love staying in the Dunes. Owner was easy to contact.

Great find. Wonderful location, close to the beach and lovely views from the porch. Space was neat and included all the expected amenities.

The listing is spot on. We were very happy and satisfied. We would rent again!

Very relaxing - amazing view from the balcony - Overall a wonderful vacation!

We have stayed at many condo rentals, but this one had it all! Snacks, coffee, trash bags, hand soap, dish soap, it was amazing!! We had a fantastic trip and would love to return. Enjoyed our dinners at Shaka Taco and Riverview Cafe, but most of our time was spent at the beach. Perfection!
