You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Huge Estate Bay w/main house + 2 additional private cottages, pool, pier

Pelican Bay is a unique gathering of homes situated on a beautiful 2-acre estate overlooking the majestic Mobile Bay. Being located along the Fort Morgan peninsula and surrounded by massive oak trees gives you the ultimate in privacy and peace that you're truly looking forward to in a true waterfront destination while being a short drive from numerous Gulf-front beach accesses, boat launches, world-class golfing, restaurants, shopping, and fishing opportunities. Truly a home that has it all!

The entire property is made up of 3 homes that can handle any group up to 17 people and even your fur babies if you desire. The main cottage is a cozy 3,200 sq ft home with no detail left unimagined. Its Mediterranean style build is centered around a historic wood-burning fireplace that dates back to the early 1900s and boasts Spanish-tile flooring, expansive wood plank ceilings with custom skylights, plastered faux finished walls, a fully-stocked Italian kitchen with granite countertops, custom wood cabinets, 2 living rooms, a spacious attached screened-porch, and plenty of space for everyone to gather and entertain.

Also on-site are 2 spacious cottages that are separate from the main home. "Cozy Cottage" sits along the Bayfront and adjacent to the private pool where the views overtake your every sense. Its 500 sq ft open floor plan provides sleeping for 4 with 2 Queen beds, a TV, and a full bathroom that will leave you refreshed and revitalized. The 2nd cottage, "Diane's Hideaway" is 600 sq ft of spacious living located just behind the main dwelling and comfortably sleeps 4. This cottage hosts a Queen bed & Queen sofa sleeper, a full kitchen, a full bathroom, a TV, and a sizable living area that makes it a great additional space for everyone to spread out comfortably.

With all this beauty and luxury there is still more to enjoy! While staying at Pelican Bay you'll have access to countless on-site amenities, such as a large private pool, gas grill, and tons of outdoor space to play or lounge in the sun. Also, don't forget the amazing fishing pier with a large screened room that'll be a constant gathering place from sunrise breakfasts, to afternoon gatherings or naps, to evening dinners with breathtaking sunsets. (Pier and screened room are to be repaired by Spring 2021). With such an open and private setting, the water-related activities are endless; kayaking, fishing, crabbing, swimming, and boating are just some of the great things to enjoy while taking in the beautiful landscape!

Don't wait to book your trip in this exclusive Bayfront home, call us or book online and get your vacation started!
This property is pet friendly, but please let us know if you're planning to bring your fur babies along. Minimum Age Requirement of 25 and rents Saturday to Saturday during Main Seasons unless the calendar is already broken up or the requested time is approved by the homeowner. (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's have a holiday rate.)

Getting there is a little weird as stated by others. House being built next door that isn’t in pics but understand can’t update often. Just be ready to see workers around. Small cottage next to main house smelled musty and door didn’t lock. Main house was fantastic. Great place to gather for all 13 of us. Pool and yard were also fantastic. Kids never got out except to go to beach. We all had dinner one night in the club house down by the water. Also great for sunsets.. Just make sure you have code for Dianne’s Cottage before you get there. We didn’t get it and took over an hour to get into it after we got there. It was a very good time. Would recommend to anyone

We absolutely loved Pelican Bay and will be back! The relaxation you feel watching the sunset and sunrise in the screened in porch on the bay is unmatched. The pool area is beautiful and serene. We are already planning next years trip to Pelican Bay.

We spent most of our time in the boat house! We fished & watched the Bay-we saw a dolphin swim by! We spent lots of time around the pool which is wonderful but could have Ben alittle cleaner-Reed reality was very attentive to tho! We all loved our vacation & would love to stay again!

Kitchen was the best stocked I’ve ever stayed at. Location great. Dianne’s cottage was a bit deceiving in that it was farther away than we anticipated. Check in was a bit goofy. Could have just emailed me the code. Not all of the info for getting in the extra cottages was handy. Had to call for the code to get into Diane’s cottage. Had to hunt for the key to the other cottage. The pool was not clean. Bought shock stuff to put in it but did not help. The real issue was bug bites, which we assumed were from the yard. By the second night I thought we were going to have to leave. I bought insect stuff to spray on the screens and put on pathway to water. Couldn’t go on the grass at all. My mother was still having issues 2 days after we left. I hope they were from the yard!

Great house
The only con for us. Pool is not heated. Water was too low to fish off the dock and parking a pontoon boat was tricky. Besides that this was a perfect house for the 9 of us. Located just far enough from the spring breakers but not to far to run to the store or dinner. VERY clean and loved the beds. Very quiet area.

The property is very nice! It was my first experience using VRBO, so I was a little nervous, my dad and husband love to fish so it was perfect! Other than maybe a heated pool I have no complaints & that’s not something I expected to have! THANK YOU for a place to make great family memories

Beautiful Hidden Gem
We absolutely love the house all the beautiful Spanish details. The kitchen is one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying. Could use additional silverware. The grounds are amazing and we love the fairies and contributed to their garden. The pool was the perfect hangout for sun and relaxing. However the black flys were bad in Aug. Fishing off the pier was so much fun and playing cards and games in the screened porch. Wonderful property, hated to leave because it was so relaxing. Highly recommend.

Large Families
The place is set up very nicely for large family gatherings. My wife & I booked this place for the 2 of us, our 4 adult kids with their spouses & our 7 grand kids ranging in age from 2 to 12 years old. There are 4 bedrooms & 2 full baths within the main house. There is a small cottage just outside the backdoor of the main house with a full bath & 2 queen beds in the cottage. There is a 2nd cottage out front of the main house that has a full bath, a small kitchen, a small living room with a pull out couch & a separate bedroom area. The pool was a great addition for keeping the grand kids entertained when there was down time during the week. The dock allowed fishing & setting crab traps throughout our week long stay. Although the kitchen appears to be stocked with everything you would need during your stay, it is very disorganized. You may have to open every cabinet to find something but odds are that it is in the kitchen somewhere. We are currently planning a cruise for next years family trip. The entire family enjoyed the place & we will probably return @ some point in the future.

This hardly ever happens, but the house and property were even better than we imagined! Plenty of room for everyone to have some personal space, and lots of gathering places for the whole gang come meal time. We spent every evening down by the dock. The only thing that could be improved is the wifi in the outbuildings and on the grounds. The weather was a little chilly for us to use the pool (mid April) but the younger brave ones did take a quick dip. Overall, we all agreed that we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic holiday!

Great private get away
From check in to check out, this was a great experience. A beautiful, well cared for property with plenty of space for everyone. The purpose of our trip was for us to get together as a family, and for my father to meet his grand dogs. If you’ve been looking, you’ve run into many places that had weight limits for your dogs. I’m so glad that this place was so welcoming. My mother loved it so much that she already wants to plan another trip here, and she’s not easy to please. We would definitely come back.

A very cozy get away
We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at Pelican Bay. The accommodations were great for my family and my nieces family. The separate privacy of the two cottages are so convenient. Kitchen was well stocked, main house is decorated beautifully and landscaping was beautifully groomed. We really enjoyed nightly gatherings at the Pier House to enjoy the sunsets. We could not have asked for better weather as well! The private pool was a fun gathering spot as well. The area is off the beaten path but lots to do for our young adult children.

Great stay for our EXTENDED family!
In short: We were pleased with our stay and WOULD DEFINITELY stay here again. This property worked VERY well for our VERY extended family! The house is 4 bedrooms which worked for my wife and me as hosts, our single son, our married daughter & her husband, and my aging father and stepmom. The two cottages were perfect for our daughter's family (mom/dad/4 kids 1-8 years old) and our son's family (dad/mom/one 10-month old)! The house stays as cool as you want - a big plus for the warm, humid weather we had. The kitchen was well equipped including a slow cooker and a pitcher for brewed tea or mixed lemonade, plus plenty of pots and pans to cook whatever you want. The private pool was nice (the water was clean, clear, and refreshing), and the private "cabana" screen room and pier were fun as well. The main house is older, so be prepared for a few things that are less than brand new: somewhat "rickety" kitchen cabinets, a "sticky" front door, and a few other odds & ends like that. NONE of these was significant or detracted from our overall stay and enjoyment. Google maps will try to take you in on "Shady Lane" which doesn't work. Apple maps has it right: turn north into the RV park just west of the house, and follow the small sign to turn right and access the driveway. If the configuration of the property (house & cottages) looks workable for your group, book it! You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful spacious property in need of upgrades.
PROS Very spacious. Love the open kitchen, decor, and plenty of space to gather- yet each group can have their own privacy with the extra cottages- which is perfect for teenagers. Love the bk yard views, pier, patio, fire pit, etc for outdoor relaxation and fun. Improvements Needed Pool was not clean and too cold- greater value if heated for year round usage. Must address/spray critters in home- saw multiple big cockroaches and spiders scattering around kitchen/cabinets. Check-in process was not efficient- with today’s technology one shouldn’t have to drive to another location just to pick up and drop off paper work to obtain code and check-in info. And most importantly while the home itself was beautiful the 2 bedrooms in the main house (minus the master) was horrible bedding. One of the absolute worst we’ve slept in and we travel a lot. Mattresses sunk in and squeaked just sitting down. For such a great property, the stay was not restful as the main house beds did not match the quality and pricing.
