Pelican Bay | Private Waterfront Pool Home | Near Bean Point | Dog Friendly See Note!

The location was great and we were able to bike around the area easily. However I wouldn’t recommend this location if you have a toddler. The staircase to the loft is smaller than usual so a standard baby gate does not fit and the deck staircase was missing a guardrail that left a big gap that a child could fall through. The owners acknowledged it but it was not repaired during my stay. Also there are still no blinds on any of the living room windows or sliding doors and the shower in the main bathroom was unusable due to the orientation of shower head and the shower in the guest bathroom was slow to drain.

Pool and property were great - only issue we didn't realize we needed to adjust the thermostat to occupied but it only got warm in the house when we were cooking.

The house was spacious with an amazing pool.The property is a short walk to the beach, fishing, and shops. We enjoyed all the amenities it has to offer. I highly recommend this property. The house was pretty clean. I have a high standard when it comes to having a clean house. The only thing that needed better cleaning was the floor. Upon arrival, the floor still had sand in the living room, kitchen and master bedroom. I don’t think the floor has been mopped for quite sometime either. There was also an issue with your trash pick up day. Your instructions to have trash out on Monday morning was incorrect. It’s Tuesday morning. I recommend modifying your instructions in the email and binder. Thank you for your beautiful house.

Very spacious home, The dock on the canal was a nice bonus - provided a launch point for our kayak rentals and a sunny spot for late afternoon cocktails. Location was great with a short 3 minute walk to the bay, 10 minute walk to Pine Avenue or Bean Point Beach on the gulf.

Spacious house, great spot near the beach. Pool is very nice as well. Fast response from owner! WouldRecommended.

We had a great week. The only thing that we did not like was the air conditioning. It couldn’t cool the whole place. We would get really hot at night.

Just needs Better tvs and curtains in living areas. TVs need to be smart tvs. It is a great property

We were disappointed in the condition of the house based on the price we paid per night, however the location of the house was very close to all the local shops and restaurants. The house wasn't well maintained, with broken/missing blinds, missing light bulbs, loose faucets, broken toilet paper holder, rotten balcony and stairway wood, broken dishwasher (which was fixed half way through our trip after calling 3 times), broken washer, no light in the refrigerator, broken burner on the stove, holes in the drywall walls and ceilings. The pool was a fiberglass shell with many chipped sections at the bottom and broken tiles along the edge (made it hard to enjoy the pool). The furniture in the home was worn, with only 2 old, plastic Adirondack chairs at the pool. The room in the loft with the 2 twin beds was extremely hot and uncomfortable. Seems as though many of these items were damaged back in August 2023, based on the review from Lissa. When we booked the house, I assumed that many of these items had been fixed. If you bring a boat, make sure you don't have a t-top due to the requirement to go under 2 bridges to get out to the bay. If the house was listed at a lower price, my expectations would have been different and I don't think I would have as many complaints.

We stayed on Anna Maria for vacation again this year and we believe we may have found the islands sweet spot. This house on pelican was fantastic. It is a very quiet area, but it is close to so much. Having stayed closer to Pine Avenue, Holmes beach, Bean point, and the piers this location got us in the heart of all of those island hot spots without a lot of traffic or travel time. The house itself is a great layout for anyone staying with Kids or early risers. My wife and I took the Master off the kitchen while the kids were on basically the opposite side of the house. The pool area Is fantastic, and definitely became the focal point of many of our nights. I found myself sitting on the dock looking at the stars, listening to the fish jump, seeing dolphins, and just being amazed that such a place could exist. The beds were comfy, the shower water was warm enough for even my wife which is saying something, the kitchen was up-to-date and well equipped, and there is even a disco party light that lights up the entire second floor with a light show that we at first laughed at, but the kids grew to love and so did we. We had nothing to request Maintenance for, but I did speak with the office pre booking and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was. We have been to countless houses and they often fall flat on personality, comfort, or location, but this house definitely did not. It literally felt like home away from home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Awesome location at a good price we enjoyed the boat dock and pool we love the north end of the island
