Cute cottage
We enjoyed our yearly stay at this unique property. We like the private fishing pier and camping feel. Upkeep has seemed to slip a bit but we still plan on going again.

Cute and peaceful stay.
This was our first time staying at Pelican Bay Resort. We decided to add an extra day to our vacation and picked Pelican Bay. I wish we had stayed here longer. It was so cute and quaint. The pool area was fun and clean. We also enjoyed fishing off the pier. We will definitely be returning.

Cottage 1-The bathroom shower had a mat in it when soaked did not feel like the cleanest situation when standing on it. However, the kitchen area was very clean. There were also 2 large spiders and a large roach in the room. I understand that critters can get in but maybe spray more often to prevent that. The pier was convenient and the swimming pool was cleaner than the last visit.
