Great place for a large group.
Our family wants to come back to the Pelican! This location worked out great for us.

Layout, Location, Furnishings hit the mark
We've rented Big Pelican 3 times and grow more attached to it on each visit. 6 bedrooms allow for lots of flexibility for our extended family. Dog friendliness lets us bring those family members too. The large central great room has several new sofas and a dining table that seats 10 without squishing. Location on the island is PERFECT for us. Out back, we can walk down the deck and be on the beach in seconds. Out front there is a kayak put-in 2 blocks away on the soundside. The grandkids and I just cart the kayaks over to it and are out on the sound in less than 10 minutes without needing to load up the car and trailer. We've already reserved again for next year.

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 window
