Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is older and in need of an update in some areas. It was very clean. we were surprised to have our linens packaged and ready for us to use versus being set up in the unit but with Covid we understood. The scatter rugs were set aside as they were in need of cleaning or replaced with a tacky back but with the slick floors we did not want to risk a fall. The view was very nice. Most of the kitchen items were in good shape but the cooking pans are quite old so we lined them with foil before using. The swimming pool was awesome. Very clean, and kept up nicely. Access to the beach was very easy. We were only given one keycard to access the pool and beach. There should be at least two cards in the packet so families can separate if wanted. We had a stopped up toilet on arrival which took two days to get fixed but the office was trying to get someone there. Having stayed in many VRBO condo's around the country, I would still recommend this condo just don't want anyone to be surprised that it does need updating. The location is fantastic as it is near to the Boardwalk, many restaurants and beach access is great.

We had a great week at Pelican Watch! The only semi bad thing I can say is we were only allowed one key card, which allows you access to the building and the pool. The key card doesn't work after 10pm. But we were right next to the beach access & on the 1st floor so we could use the stairs. We made it work. Other than that it was great.

Our experience was extremely disappointing for a number of different reasons: 1) The keycards were not working so access to the building was impossible. 2) The management company apparently does not return calls while on a holiday weekend. Of course that makes sense because it’s not like there’s many people traveling on a holiday weekend and that they may have need for help at times. 3) An entire bag of dirty linens was left in the unit and it took 2 days to get a response from the Mgmt company to address this. 4) Several of the utensils in the kitchen were dirty and rusty. 5) The pictures didn’t reflect the lower quality of the actual unit upon arrival. It’s not a pleasant experience to open the door and walk in and immediately feel disappointed.
