Big Pelican absolutely beautiful home, plenty of room! Loved the huge kitchen table, beds were comfortable, plenty of sitting areas for our big family, lots of bathrooms so no waiting in line! Plenty of living space! Just a short walk off the deck to the sand! Nothing but great things to say about this home and it’s amazing staff!!! Thank you Shorewood for an amazing vacation!!!

Enjoyed Big Pelican

Our Friends at Shorewood,

 

Thank you so much for providing a wonderful week of beach living.  The check in and check out were smooth and well coordinated, timely repairs to the cottage or equipment were made by courteous technicians; and the cottage was well stocked for cooking and recreation.

 

We enjoyed Big Pelican and plan to return next summer.

Great Cottage!!!

"

This is a great cottage!!! We had two families and 3 kids and still had 2 bedrooms that were available for single friends who stopped by for the night. The kitchen and great room were spacious for community discussions and games, yet allowing space in the same room for our introverts to still be part of the group. On the beach we had plenty of space to spread out our tent and toys without running into neighbors. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were all recently updated and were beautiful. We heavily used both the covered back porch area as well as the rocking chairs on the front porch. This cottage created the perfect atmosphere for our family to have our best vacation ever. Thanks also to Shorewood for being so wonderful to work with.

Wonderful!

"Our stay at Big Pelican was wonderful! It was the perfect layout for us having my elderly parents with us. They enjoyed sitting out on the back porch and the beautiful view of the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and I loved being in the kitchen and seeing the ocean view. The bedding was all very comfortable. The house was spotless when we arrived. Would definitely choose to stay here again. Shorewood was wonderful to work with and everyone on staff was very nice!"

Everything You Need (except for maybe more time off from work!)

"Beautiful, fully-renovated oceanfront home had everything we needed and more! We loved having everyone and everything on one level along with the expansive open plan that is the kitchen, dining area and great room. Gorgeous floor to vaulted-ceiling windows brings the outdoors right inside! The fully stocked kitchen, plentiful seating and 4 full-baths can easily accommodate a houseful. The option to bring our fur baby was an appreciated bonus! After all, how can you have a family vacation without the whole family!! We will most certainly be back!"

A Slice of Heaven

"The Big Pelican is really like a piece of heaven situated in a premium beachfront location, affording stunning views of sunsets and sunrises! The beach house is decorated beautifully with gorgeous giant windows facing the stunning Atlantic. No detail has been overlooked...from a modern, equipped kitchen to plentiful lighting. Even in the off-season, Emerald Isle shops and dining options abound! Big Pelican tops our list of NC beach homes! "

Glorious week on Emerald Isle with family at Big Pelican

"We loved this ocean front house, excellent floor plan with all bedrooms off large living/dining/kitchen which is conducive to inclusive feel, wonderful large deck with the two suites having direct access to deck area. Everything we might need, other than a good sharp knife for gourmet beach dinners, etc. We're back next year."

It was wonderful!

"We stayed at the Big Pelican June 3-June 10. It was wonderful! The house is beautiful. Amazing decor.....perfect. It is wonderful to have all rooms on one level and a very easy walk to the beach. Plenty of seating inside and outside. More televisions than can be watched! Beds were comfortable and linens (provided) were great. Kitchen has plenty of everything except an electric griddle and a really good knife. We overpowered the ice maker for a few days but buying extra ice has become the norm for our group. Really, really lovely home.......if we can come back, we will!!!"

BEST VACAY EVERRR

"I visited Emerald Isle for my Spring Break and it was an AMAZING vacation! The house itself was perfect for me and my friends: spacious and modern, yet comfortable and homey. The house has beautiful hardwood floors, arched ceilings, updated appliances and the best part was the massive windows providing a spectacular view of the ocean! There's a large pantry, gorgeous marble counters, and a perfect counter with bar stools to chill at. There's also tons of room to spread out: 4 sofas, a huge dining table great for card games, and really comfy chairs all around. It was heaven compared to dorm beds!!! Another thing my friends and I really loved was the convenience. The house is located in the perfect location; it's close to everything! I will definitely be coming back to the Big Pelican next year! "

Great week

"This house was perfect for us and our friends. The oceanfront views are fantastic. Very convenient to all at Emerald Isle and Morehead city. Just a few steps and you are on the beach. Large families will really enjoy this place. Long dining room table is perfect to seat all together or play board games. Spacious home and decorated beautifully. Will never go anywhere else at EI except the "Big Pelican". "
