The location, the lay-out and the design of this small resort are all excellent. The rooms, however, are very tired. Exhaust fan that doesn't work, appliances and TVs that are outdated and furniture and bedding that has seen its better days. Sitting around the pool was superb and the 100 ft walk to the beach almost spiritual. Therefore, the less... More

We stayed in one of the hotel-type rooms (located in the back of the hotel, 2 double beds) for 3 nights over a long weekend. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, the staff was courteous, and everything seemed in good repair. This place is motor-court style, with peaceful grounds shaded by live oak trees.

Very charming setting and great possibilities....too bad cleaning staff seems to care less ----OR the place is considerably short-staffed...been coming here for years, but seems like there is a new "sheriff in town" who is not concerned with cleanliness or upkeep....our tile floor had our socks/ feet black within an hour and our TV screen looked like it had been...

We've stayed twice at Pelican Bay now and the location is great for access to the beach. The cottages are nice and we love having the kitchen. I don't understand the pet fee...per pet but I don't think we got anything for that fee. In fact, there was glass chips on the floor that my dog kept finding. The "queen"... More

We stayed in a cottage and found it to be very comfortable. Sleeping four was not ideal, but it can be done. The place is designed more for two. When the sofa sleeper is pulled out, there is very little room to maneuver around the living/dining area. Otherwise, it was clean and affordable. It is situated on a beautiful shaded... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights. There was no soap in the bathroom. A girl came by in the morning and asked me if we needed towels or our trash emptied and I said "Not right now." We left shortly after and we left the sign on the door requesting service. When we got back that night,... More

We were very happy at the Pelican Bay Resort for a quick weekend getaway. We loved that it was dog-friendly and had its own fishing pier. We were able to fish and even caught a few! The hot tub and pool area was nice, though I didn't realize until too late on my last morning--hoping for a quick soak--that you... More
