Enjoy your private resort-style vacation at this oceanfront four bedroom, three bath 2400 sq ft cottage.

This home is fully equipped to take care of all your needs. The cottage exterior gives way to a transitional eclectic style interior setting.The unique modern weathered-look plank flooring blends transitional modern with traditional elements. The third floor master suite has a king size bed with a private living area that has a trundle daybed with Tempur-pedic style mattresses. The on-suite master bath and shower has a separate slate shower with skylight and separate garden style tub. Four TVs with Xfinity cable and high speed internet are throughout the house. An Amazon Alexa system provides information as well as all genres of music entertainment. The ground floor offers a private suite with king size bed, a private living, kitchenette and bathroom. The suite has an additional Tempur-pedic style mattress that may be used as an extra long twin or king bed for additional guests. The suite is accessed at the street level with independent entry/exit and does not share any entrance or connection to the main living area. The main floor provides an open living, dining and kitchen floor plan with granite countertops. Ocean views can be seen from all oceanfront and northern facing windows. The main floor has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, crib and toddler equipment, the other with a full.

Note for Guests booking after April 13, 2025.
Houses are under construction on the two lots on the left of Pelican Landing, when facing it from the street. We have just been made aware of this when the construction actually started on April 14, 2025. We are trying to get as much information as possible from Nassau County and we will share all we discover. We do not know an estimated completion date. Our hope is that these houses will be completed quickly

American Beach Week
We had a great family vacation at Pelican Landing. The house had several items that needed to be repaired and updated. The floors in the home were very clean upon check in. We only had one working vacumn that def. needed to be updated. The other one didn't work at all. One of the eyes on the stove remained on high and you couldn't use it to cook unless you wanted to burn what you were cooking. Eloise started out being very friendly, but after a few contacts was non-responsive which dissappointed me. This is not a property that we would stay at again. It may be what others are looking for, but it did not meet our standard of expectations for a VRBO stay.

A great Stay
We spent two weeks at the property. The kitchen was fully stocked. Not a pot or utensil was missing that we would have needed. Eloise was great in our interactions when needed. Even after we left, and left something behind she got it shipped to us without hesitation. Overall a great place to stay.

Four years and counting!
This was our 4th year staying at Pelican Landing. It’s a lovely house in a great area. We love American Beach. It’s a quiet area and the house is right on the beach. There is a Harris Teeter just down the street along with several fine dining restaurants. Eloise, the property manager and her team are amazing and provide excellent service.

Thanksgiving at the beach
We enjoyed ourselves and thought the house was perfect for our family. We had a very large private top floor. My son had a private room and bathroom on the bottom. My daughter and two kids had two rooms on the middle floor. Kitchen was well equipped and big enough to make our Thanksgiving dinner. Great beach access.

PLENTY OF ROOM FOR OUR FAMILY OF 8!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house the week of July 6-13. There was plenty of room for 8 adults, and the fact that it’s pet friendly was definitely a plus! The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, and every other thing imaginable for cooking a gourmet meal at home. There was even a brand new stock pot so we could make our low country boil one night. We did have to remove the two knobs from the right side of the stove because they kept turning on, just by someone bumping up against it. That could be a potential fire hazard.
My husband was extremely disappointed in the condition of the two grills on the property though, considering he grilled our dinner 4 of the 7 nights we were there. They were removed the day we checked out, which is great for future guests, but not so much for us.
The view of the ocean from the back porches was amazing! It was a short walk over the dunes to the beach, which was uncrowded and peaceful, just the way we like it.
The air conditioning in the upstairs master bedroom had a really difficult time cooling during the day. Most afternoons, it got up to 80°, even though the thermostat was set at 68°. The bedroom closest to the bathroom on the main level was also hotter than the rest of the house. I’m not sure if there was a problem with the vent in that room or not.
Overall, this was one of the most enjoyable weeks we’ve had at the beach, and this has become one of our favorite places to stay. We hope to be back soon

Great Vacation For Family Getogether
The overall summary of our vacation was one of the most enjoyable we have had in a long time. The house accommodated the whole family and the weather was ideal. The proximity to the beach was unbelievable. The house we have rented several times previously an unfortunately is beginning to show it's age a little. the deck door would not open entirely as either the door was warped or the flooring was. Even the flooring in front of the refrigerator seemed uneven. We are also a family that loves to grill and enjoyed outside cooking. the grills were both nonfunctional although the listing of the property listed them as an amenity. We also battled several issues with pests (bugs) in the house which looked like large beetles/cochroach looking insects. All in all we had a great stay but we were surprised to find the house beginning to have issues as I have mentioned we have stayed there at least 3 times previously.

Wonderful Ocean View with spacious lovely home
We truly enjoyed our stay at Pelican's Landing! This lovely beach villa was comfortable (new air conditioning units that worked well) and had everything our family needed for a delightful beach week. A well- stocked kitchen (and we love to cook so we are picky), spacious rooms and bedrooms, and an amazing property manager. who is thoughtful and helpful. (I happened to mention that we needed a few more dish towels, and Amazon delivered sets of new ones the next day!) The balconies and patio provided a beautiful setting to enjoy the dunes and the ocean. A couple of things we didn't know about the portion of the beach where we stayed that is apparently typical of Florida beaches--we were just not aware: Residents of Nassau County can drive on the beach in certain areas. In front of our house was one of those areas. It surprised us to have trucks and cars parked in a line on the beach area in front of our house. Everyone was quiet and respectful and family friendly, but on the weekends it was pretty crowded with vehicles. Not so many on the weekdays. ( A few blocks down from us there is a park where no vehicles are allowed, so we could have walked there.) Right next to the house is a public walkway to the beach which ends just before you get to the fairly steep dunes. If you have a full beach cart, be prepared to muscle up to get over it. We enjoyed being only a short drive to shops, and exploring the charming historical district of downtown.
Highly recommend!

Overall, we enjoyed the property- The pictures made the property seem a little newer than it actually was- Disappointed that the hot tub was gone. Also, the Ac was not great and basically non- existent in the garage bedroom. Plenty of room and close to the beach. It was a little more secluded than i thought but not a bad thing.
