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 included 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.

Generous 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. Grand 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. Enormous balcony to appreciate 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 new for future units as of 9/2023 - the HOA has restricted us not only to 2 parking spaces per unit but also for only the same 2 cars staying at the condo parking. It doesn't mean that you can't have someone over for dinner and a visit but 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 delightful 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 savor 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 simple beach access. We have a beach cart to make it painless 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.

Tips to get the perfect Crystal Coast rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Crystal Coast vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group 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 vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you book your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Know before you go:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
