The best beach house!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were placed in the Pesky Pelican after the house we booked, AC wasn’t working. We were so thankful for this because we had the best time here. The beach house was clean, huge, welcoming, and the best location. Swedes was amazing on the transition and I can’t be more thankful. My family has booked on Labor Day weekend for 20 plus years and this was a hard year after losing one of our family members. Swedes blessed us with an amazing weekend. Thank you owners for sharing your beach house with us for a much needed family trip. Will book again.

Well maintained property. Love that it is front row to the beach with an amazing view and right where beach access is. We had such an amazing time! Room with double bed actually has a bunk bed in it now. I called the propery manage once brcause of the bbq pit not being able to use and within 30 minutes they had another one out to us to use. Loved this property. Would absolutely stay again!

Far exceeded my expectations

We loved staying at the Pesky Pelican. The location was perfect almost private beach access a very short 2 min walk from the porch to the beach. Very quiet area on the beach. It rained almost the whole time we were there which was unfortunate but the house had games and plenty of covered porch downstairs for the kids to play with the shells they had collected and other games. Great outdoor shower, had two charcoal grills downstairs, had several picnic tables downstairs, well equipped kitchen, great bedroom layouts to accommodate everyone, easy check-in and out process. The only thing I would recommend is going directly through SWEDES Management to rent as it is a little cheaper and can save you some additional fees.

Spring Break 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this house several times before with the same group of people. We like the location and the house works perfectly for our two families. The house was clean and in good working order. The mattresses are about done in every room. That would be our only issue is they all need to be replaced. Will definitely rent The Pesky Pelican again.

Perfect for families!

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was right on the beach and had direct access to walk down easily. Our golf cart fit down the walkway easily as well. The golf cart wasn't necessary but was fun for the kids and helped with carrying down large canopies to the beach. I highly suggest the linen package. It would have been more work for us to bring everything and wash everything before we left. My only suggestion is if you have a toddler or child you want to keep from going down the stairs, bring large zip ties for the baby gate. There is a baby gate provided but it was not large enough to fit the outside stairs. The kitchen was fully stocked and had basic spices and coffee items. Plenty of cookware and a crockpot.

Absolutely the best experience for us! Private location & great beach access! Will be staying again!

Very easy to get checked in & house was nice and well stocked. We got the linen package simply because we wanted to hv everything readily available. Plenty of room for everyone and the best location!
