Pelican Bend

Location! Location! Location! We have always stayed on 30A but we wanted something less crowded. We stumbled on Indian Pass and found our new favorite vacation spot! We have never stayed anywhere with our on private walkway just steps to the beach. The beach was not crowded at all even though it was a holiday weekend. We were planning our next trip back before we left!

Pelican Bend was the perfect, relaxing retreat for our family. The stunning ocean views and private beach access has us already wanting to rebook! The location was very quiet and safe. We thoroughly enjoyed having every meal on the back patio over looking the sea and wildlife. We cannot wait to come back!

The location is absolutely perfect but the furniture was disappointing.

We enjoyed our stay here and are thankful to the owners for sharing it with us. It was a good value and what we were looking for for our small group of 5. A very peaceful, relaxing vacation. Great memories made!

Amazing location, beach front! Private and quiet area. Lots of chairs outdoors and firepit. We really enjoyed our stay!

This was the worst visit to the G of M I have ever had. So disappointing. Big trucks going up and down the beach all day with sand. No sunset over the water. I have been staying on the Gulf for 40 years and this is a 1st. I had no idea the cape would block the sunset at Indian Pass. Bugs were horrible and no fly swatter in the unit. Need to have a no star option.

I'm sorry to hear you found Indian Pass so uninviting.  While I certainly understand not enjoying the big trucks driving by on the beach due to the County's beach dune renourishment it is something that is necessary to build the dunes from them being wiped out in 2018 from Hurricane Michael.  As for not seeing a sunset over the water, this is somewhat typical in Indian Pass due to its geographic location.  I would encourage you in the future to call our office prior to booking to get any questions you have answered.  We have local reservation agents in the office daily who are happy to help.

I would love to give this place a 5 star review, but there were some major things that need fixing. It appears several things have been or are in the process of being repaired (like new paint) but the addition of the barn doors to the bathroom in the hallway was not a great idea.

Thanks to the family for sharing their beach cottage with us---we will return.

Despite rain storms, fog, and even tornados, we had a perfect 10 days. The cottage was comfortable and we spent most of our time on the large deck. We had gorgeous moon views and the stars were spectacular. We are planning 2-3 more trips there in 2022. I am so happy they share their beach home—thank you!

Great place with an awesome location. Half way between Port St. Joe and Apalachicola, right on the beach.

I plant to book through prestine again but not this particular house. Your customer service is today notch and we appreciate that so much.

This house is just what we needed. It allows us to bring our fur baby and actually enjoy being away from home and still being together. Thank you!

This was our first time to Indian Pass and we had an amazing experience. The house was old but unique in a cool way. Great location!!

My husband and I and two fur babies enjoyed this house so much. It’s comfortable and charming and the front porch is magical and so relaxing . Even with some bad weather from Ida, it was a perfect and a much needed week away.

Enjoyed the beachfront.

Robin G - Posted: 5/28/2021

We thoroughly enjoyed our time. We were apprehensive about a spring break during a pandemic, and everything about the property and experience was excellent and we felt safe and comfortable at all times. The home was just as promised, and a little more. It was exactly the perfect fit for our family. Thanks for a much needed and great family vacation!

Happy Holidays! We had a fine time staying at Pelican Bend for Christmas. The deck was wonderful and so large.

The barn door on the hall bathroom was very uncomfortable, the sides were left unfinished and left no privacy for the person using it!! Would like this to be better next year!!!

Great beach house, perfect for a small family getaway and some privacy. beautiful beach.

Such a beautiful spot to chill for a few days! The deck is ideal if you’re taking a dog with you. You can leave doors open to the ocean and not have to worry about them getting out. We’ll definitely be back!

Great location- like having your own private beach! My favorite was the huge covered porch with double hammock and outdoor shower!
