Awesome Vacation Spot

TaranSteve Kettering, Ohio
Review Submitted: September 17, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2007
This experience was amazing for us. The condo made our experience the best because it was so clean and comfy. It was a nice place to know we could come back to after exploring all that the keys have to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed everything the condo had to offer, including the pool, location, view, and spacious living space. We had a blast and would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a good time in the keys.

Ultimate Key Vacation

Cathey & Rich Copiague, New York
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Pelican’s Perch, what an incredible condo. The place is immaculate inside and out. Grounds are well groomed and the pool and deck area are spotless. What you see on the pictures and much more. Location is perfect, an hour to Key West or Key Largo/ Islamorada, 5 minutes to Sombrero Beach, 15 minutes to Bahia Honda, 5 minutes to Dolphin Research or Turtle Hospital. A must stop is the old 7 mile bridge for a sunset ( 5 minute drive) not to be missed.

Spectacular views from the balconies or dock where ever you look. Coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening. Everything prior guests have seen, plus we saw a Bald Eagle.

We have done the hotels (4) and a condo rental b/4, what a mistake. Pelican Perch is truly the best Key vacation ever, it gets no better. The condo has an extremely well stocked kitchen as well as a gas grill. We brought local seafood (Key Fisheries or Captains 3) most nights and ate in. Jeff supplied us with a extensive list of local restaurants and must sees. Check them out they are not to be missed.

The dock box has all the extra’s described as well as a beach umbrella (that Florida sun gets hot).

Only problem???? You have to come home from the perfect vacation.

Relaxing Getaway

GTipp Tipp City, Oh
Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
It doesn't get any better than this. Relaxing on the patio or in the living room and looking out at the expanse of blue water. The condo was clean and had everything we could want. The fully stocked kitchen allowed us to cook in when we wanted. The owner provided lots of info on places to see and things to do and how to get there. There were also recommendations on the best places to eat. Key West is only one hour away and provided a full day's worth of entertainment. Great beach access is minutes away. Crane Point was a fun place to visit. Loved seeing all the different kinds of wildlife. Enjoyed the dolphins at Hawk's Cay. The well maintained pool was a great place to get sun. All in all, it was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy beautiful weather in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks!

Review Submitted: August 1, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We were alittle wary of vacation rentals after reading some horror stories on the internet, but this place and the owners are great. Fantastic views, beautiful condo with everything you need , and conveniently located. Kids will love the fish, iguanas, lizards, the docks, the pool, and the mantees.

Wonderful location

Review Submitted: July 5, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The condo was fantastic, there was everthing you could possibly need from beach gear to bbq's. The swimming pool is a stones throw from the condo and we had it to ourselves for most of the time.

The location couldn't have been better for exploring the keys and at the end of a busy day, relaxing on the balcony watching the wild life with a cold beer was just perfect.

The efficiency of dealing with the owner, made our stay very easy and uncomplicated. We felt very much at home as the area was so relaxed and laid back.

We hope to return one day.

Great Location!

Scott & Diane Coopersville, MI
Review Submitted: April 17, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We had a wonderful time at Pelican’s Perch and would highly recommend it. It truly was a turn key vacation home, very clean, & comfortable, with everything we needed to make our vacation enjoyable. The pool, which is just a few steps from the condo, was wonderfully inviting and we had it to ourselves most of the time. During our stay we observed a pod of manatees grazing in the shallow water just beneath our balcony. In the morning we enjoyed a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the Florida Bay from our private bedroom balcony. Jeff will give you some great info on things to do and places to eat. We did take a few of his suggestions and we were glad we did. We hope to do this again in the near future.

Just like home, only in Keys

Bernies Texas
Review Submitted: April 8, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The condo was just as described. No bad surprises. The owner is wonderful to work with and is intent on providing a wonderful vacation home for his guests. The boat box full of equipment for the beach, plus the supplies in the condo - coolers, beach towels, etc - made our stay so easy. Our teenagers loved the pool, the decks, the bikes -- everything. The information Jeff sent about things to do and see, and his recommendations for restaurants was welcome and right on the mark.

We had a great time in the keys, the pictures shown in the web site reflect exactly what we encountered there, Jeff the owner is also an excellent person. All the information provided is very useful and carefully chosen. My kids had a great time at the pool, we got to use the dock with a boat we rented and had fun all around the place. I would rent this place again and again.

Pelican's Perch in the Florida Keys

Great stay Merritt Island, Florida, USA
Review Submitted: August 27, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This was my 3rd stay at Pelican’s Perch since 2001, and was as fantastic as the previous two trips. The views from the property are amazing and are everything you could want. It is well placed and exceptionally well furnished and maintained. It's far enough off the main road to be quiet and relaxing, yet minutes from anything you need.

I couldn't imagine a better experience. Evenings on the balconies overlooking the water are my favorite. There are second and third floor balconies that wrap the corners, so you can always find some private space to enjoy the view. The rooms are bright and open and comfortable. It really is just like the photos.

We have snorkeled and kayaked directly from the bottom of the stairs. It is situated on Vaca Cut with a newly refurbished dock, and has direct access to the Atlantic and offshore reefs as well as the Gulf and backsides of the islands.

The owner is the best and easy to work with. Everything is exactly as represented, and absolutely consistent from year to year. I give Jeff and Pelican’s Perch my highest recommendation!
