Loved our stay here - a great quiet stay close to the ocean with a great view.
Property was clean, checking in and out was easy, and communication was clear the whole time. Beach access is great and we felt taken care of. Would absolutely come back!
Loved our stay at Pelican’s Perch! Good stay! Our host was easy to work with. Good view of the ocean. This property was very well stocked! Easy walk to the beach. The unit is on the third floor so be ready to walk the steps up. May be difficult for some.
We had the best time. The apartment is perfect for small families and you can see the ocean from the balcony! Everything that we needed was there. Checking in and out was a breeze!
Nice condo! Short walk to the beach! My kids really enjoyed the pool. Easy check in, we even got to check in early which was nice! We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was just as it was listed!
The place was very clean and it has a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and living room space! The owners got back to me right away when I had a question, I only wish I had taken more time to stay! Very comfortable and homey!
The condo was cozy and well kept. Coffe and tea along with snacks provided. The view from the balcony waa great. The pool was also very nice and easy to access. Lacy was great about keeping in touch with us. baccess
This is my third time staying here. I definitely will continue to recommend this place. It’s always clean and cozy. The beach entrance down the street was roped off for some reason so I did walk a bit further down which I didn’t mind at all. This condo is in a quiet part of Carolina beach. So it is perfect for a solo getaway or a vacation with your friends or partner.
Perfect spot at the end of town. Beach not crowed or pack. Easy access. Amazing view. Loved everything about it. Offered everything you needed for your stay. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pelicans Perch. The place was beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed to enjoy our days at the beach. The only thing we did not like was the long trek up the the stairs, the first time up was brutal lol. Did get easier as we did it, definitely got our heart rate up. Would stay here again.
Perfect place for a getaway for two! The front patio has a great view of the Ocean and is perfect place a morning cup of coffee. The beach is only a 3-4 minute walk away. The house provided some beach gear, the games and umbrella really made the beach fun. The house was the perfect size for two. Would highly recommend for a weekend or week long get away.
Everything was so nice! My partner and I stayed a week and it was perfect for us. We had an issue with the wifi due to a storm and they were very quick in getting back to us and got it resolved! The view from the condo was well worth walking up and down all of the stairs.
The space was just right. Great view from the 3rd floor deck or inside from the kitchen. Clean and comfortable. Owners made me feel like I was a friend staying at their beach condo.They left snacks, a filled medicine cabinet, plenty of towels, toiletries. Close to beach whichever way you choose to walk down Carolina Beach Ave.
Clean, well stocked, and fantastic view. Up 3 flights of outside steps with no elevator which we knew this when we booked. Worth it for a peaceful week away. Beach access about a block down made for some good walks on the beach every day. Low key quiet area.
We came for the weekend for one last beach trip to close out the summer. Everything was clean, functioning, and well stocked. We usually have to pack all the extra beach gear, but found out it was all available at the condo (beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys). It may be a small thing but favorite part was coffee on the porch each morning, with the ocean view though a picture frame window.
This condo had everything we could need. It was spacious enough for our family of three. Just perfect. The stairs were a little much but we already knew before booking. The balcony was a favorite of ours when we wanted to see the ocean but out of the sun. I did hate that our beach access was closed but it's no fall of the property owner. We would definitely stay here again.
Property was exactly as described. Located in a quiet area yet close to the pier for music, drinks and food. The closest beach access was closed but the next access was right down the street and easily accessible to walk to with all your beach equipment. Parking was easy. The unit is located on the 3rd floor, no elevator but it was fine for us. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.
I’ve stayed here twice in a row now, and had an even better time than the last. My sister came with me this year, and everything was perfect. We stayed for a little over a week and this was a nice place to relax in between outings to the beach. It’s on the quiet side of Carolina Beach which we love. You have amazing views and pretty quick access to the beach even with the access right across the street closed. We both spent a lot of time on the deck reading, looking out on the water, storm watching, and I even got lucky with dolphin sightings. It was a little dusty under the bed but that’s the only thing I could think of that would need improved. They supply a bit of snacks, coffee and hot chocolate mixes (which were amazing). I will definitely be back next year!
So my stay ended up being smack in the middle of a hurricane. However while this was limiting in some regards, I enjoyed my stay. The condo was quaint, some corners a little small for a rotund man like myself. In particular the bathroom door from the bedroom that lead to the shower was a tight squeeze to get to the shower. But that is the only downside for myself. The view from the living room was nice,. Everything clean, ect.
