5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ house, property & owner!
We rented this house February 2024 when we were down visiting our in-laws. The weather was cold (it was 55-60 degrees daily with the last day in the Gulf Shores at 49 degrees). Swimming in the ocean was out of the question, the most they could do is dip their toes in…so a few days in to our trip, we started looking for VRBOs with heated pools. Very few had pools that were heated and didn’t charge so it was an easy decision! The owner’s property manager only lives a few miles away and was able to give us a tour and show us how everything works and was able to return the next morning promptly when I locked ourselves out of the garage 🤦🏻‍♀️. This house has EVERYTHING! As far as inside the house, so many beds (3 king beds, two double beds and a bunk bed) and bathrooms, plus extra room to sleep on loft. A full kitchen with every appliance you need, a full coffee and espresso bar that includes all the coffee and fixings, a tv in both living rooms and in every bedroom, a full library of books and games, arcade games, a washer and dryer on main level. For the outside, besides the obvious amazing heated pool, a Gas grill which we used daily, ping pong table, outdoor games, pickleball court, beach toys, wagons, bikes, etc. I could go on and on there was never any time for boredom. I had two questions during our stay which were responded to immediately. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Amenities Galore!
We had an incredible time at Pelican’s Perch! Where do I even start….The heated pool, the pickeball court, the fire pit, the bicycles, the arcade games, the ping pong table….our kids and the adults loved it! And you are only steps from the beach! And there’s an amazing express machine! Highly recommend to families with young kids! We will definitely be back!

Attention to detail
I have to say this is one of the best VRBO properties we’ve stayed. From the coffee bar with whole beans and ground coffee provided, to the welcome packet with bag, water bottles, and drink coozies, you could tell both property owner and Everett cared about the guest experience. Short walk to the beach. Home was clean. pickleball court was a nice touch had some issues with the pool, but property management was on top of it. Fire pit was great. Ping-pong and arcade games were great for the kids. All around a great experience.
