We definitely enjoyed our stay at Pelican cottage. The cottage was as described and the perfect place for our 3 generation family vacation. The owners have done a great job anticipating the needs of their guest. We are already looking forward to our stay next year.

Fabulous place
The house is roomy, comfortable, clean, and very well equipped. The proximity to the Lido Beach and St. Armand's Circle can't be beat. The pool was refreshing in the evening and on the days we were too lazy to hit the beach. We and our adult children, their partners, and our 18 year old granddaughter had a wonderful vacation!

Pelican Cottage Family Stay
We were thoroughly satisfied with our recent stay at Pelican cottage Decemer 28- January 4. Lovely cottage, pool and access to the beach and St. Armands shoppes and eateries. The home had all the needed equipment for the beach and pool and was very comfortable. The host was so easy to contact and provided us with information about activities and local delivery methods for food and such. Highly recommend this property and we hope to return!

Family vacation with my sister
My family and my sister’s family loved staying at the Pelican Cottage. The house was perfect for the 9 of us. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking for all of us. The pool was nice to come back to after hours at the beach. It is a good walk to the beach but worth it, as it was not busy at all where we were (even on Memorial Weekend). We enjoyed being able to walk to Starbuck’s and Ben & Jerry’s. The sunsets at the beach were truly amazing and not a single night looked the same. We would love to come back one day. It is officially our favorite beach vacation ever.

Another Great Stay!
I stayed at Pelican Cottage this past February. This is my third time renting it and it won't be my last. The house is well stocked with everything you'll need and the location can't be beat (leave the car parked and walk to St. Armand's and the beach). All that being said the best part of renting Pelican Cottage are the owners Deb and Ed. They are terrific people! I'm counting down the day until my return.
