Welcome to "The Pelican" condo in Atlantic Beach, NC. Our place is clean and comfortable and supplied with everything you need including TVs in each bedroom, high-speed wireless internet, and a chef's kitchen. Fresh bed linens are supplied complimentary of charge as are bath towels, washcloths, and beach towels - pay attention to other units where these items are additional charges. We also do not charge you for additional guests up to the 6 max. limit. I can't stand staying at places that nickel and dime me with more charges.

See the broad list below of items you do not have to pack. We are equipped for you to be able to fly in with your personal items and the condo has everything you need for your enjoyment for a week or more at the beach! Also, our place is professionally cleaned and disinfected after each guest stays.

Sizable open 1-level floor plan (we have an elevator so no stairs required), 3 BR / 2 full bathrooms (2 queen beds and 2 twin). All one level on the 2nd floor of the building with ELEVATOR access. Giant chef's kitchen with everything you need to prepare great meals. Open kitchen, dining and family room with tons of light and vistas of the ocean. Extensive balcony to savor ocean vistas (ocean vistas in 9 out of 13 windows).

Our condo community is modest, so the pool won't have hordes. Note that only guests accounted for on the guest form, that are staying at the condo, can use the pool. There are only 2 buildings with 9 units each.

Note that for future units as of 9/2023, the HOA has restricted us to 2 parking spaces per unit and only the same 2 cars staying at the condo parking throughout your stay. It does mean that you can't switch out the 2 cars during your stay. The 2 cars listed on your HOA form are the only 2 cars authorized to be on the property for more than a few hours or overnight.

We are located across the street from the beach with handsome ocean vistas and walking distance (1 min.) to 2 beach access points, 3 eateries, a few stores and a craft beer pub including Molly's Beach Bar & Grille where you can appreciate a light meal or a drink sitting on the DoubleTree Hotel Pier with impressive vistas.

We bought this place at end of 2020 and decided that we wanted it to be the best of what we have found in other units that we have stayed in. In the kitchen, we have spices, seasonings, condiments in the frig, and starter coffee k-cups. We prepare - so the kitchen is full of the items you if you want to prepare your favorite meals. We have comfortable furnishings to sit on and painless beach access. We have a beach cart to make it simple to bring things from your car up the elevator to the condo (we keep this one sand-complimentary) and we have another one dedicated to the beach to make your beach days easy. We always longed to find a place at the beach that we could rent each year and "know" what we were getting, - and for it to feel like a home away from home. I hope this will meet that for you!

For those who may need to work while here, we have an office chair, modest desk setups that can be used, and high-speed wireless internet. I work here for weeks at a time during the off-season of spring and fall.

If you rent our condo, we ask that you respect the tranquility and privacy of your neighbors. Most of our neighbors live in their condos and do not rent them.

Guests will need to fill out a guest form & the short term lease agreement for the condo association 1 week prior to arrival at the latest so we can e-mail it to the HOA.

Also, the pool is for the use of renters staying at the property and others not staying on-site can not use it.

How to find the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfectvacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Gorgeous Ocean Views - 1 min walk to beach access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, NC attraction you crave, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
