We absolutely loved the ocean view, and the proximity to both the beach and parking was incredibly convenient. The beach house itself was charming and cozy—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
We had an amazing week. So much so, that we already booked for next year. The Pelican was nice, clean and private. We had a little view of the beach and enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio. The only downside was there is no kitchen sink to do dishes. We made it work and it wasn’t a make or break for us. Can ’t wait for next year!! Thank you for the most relaxing vacation I have ever experienced!
The place was clean and the vew was amazing. It will be better if they can add a small kitchen, wash the coffee cops in the bathroom it wasn't really pleasant. The rest was very good.
The Pelican cottage at Manasota Beach Club was a little slice of heaven. A quaint little cottage from a simpler time, this was exactly what was needed for a calm, relaxing trip. Check-in couldn’t have been easier, as simple as reading an email. The cottage was clean and comfortable, exactly as listed and described. The two most important questions - was the bed comfortable and how was the water pressure? From someone who doesn’t sleep well in a strange bed, this bed was a dream. Slept through the night our entire trip. And the water pressure in the shower was perfect. Strong enough to feel soothing without stripping skin. There were several other people at the resort but it felt like we were alone in this little haven. The only sound was the wind and the waves. The beach is semi-private to the best of my knowledge and we had a huge piece to ourselves. We are already talking about the next opportunity to visit and are looking forward to returning to Manasota Key and the Manasota Beach Club.
