About this property

Gulf Front w/ Private Pool

The sun and the sea await at Pelican Paradise A, a distinguished beachfront retreat in Seacrest Beach along Scenic Highway 30A. This property's location is unbeatable, near shopping, dining, and located directly on the Gulf of Mexico! Nestled in the private, gated community of Camp Creek Lake and with a private pool to boot, you’ll find everything you need and more for the perfect getaway!

Please note, this listing is for Pelican Paradise A. This unique property can be booked with Pelican Paradise B as a combined private, 10-bedroom oasis. View the combined Pelican Paradise listing.

Pelican Paradise A is a spacious refuge with five bedrooms and four and a half baths accommodating up to seventeen. Tastefully decorated and with beautiful interior finishes, rooms are bright and cheerful with plenty of space for everyone. The ground level, with three full bedrooms and a sleeper sofa, accommodates 11 guests comfortably. The first bedroom sleeps three and features a twin over full bunk bed, the second bedroom houses two twin bunk beds, and the last bedroom features a king-sized bed. You’ll also find a wet bar and wine cooler for quick access to cool refreshments.

A deluxe, fully appointed kitchen awaits on the second floor with high-end appliances and plenty of cabinet space. The open-concept area includes a wraparound kitchen counter with bar stools, a beautiful dining table with seating for six, and newly upholstered sofas and chairs in the living room. Take in gorgeous views of the Gulf from the interior or out on the second-story balcony with a propane grill and outdoor seating, a lovely place to gather at day’s end!

The third story houses the master bedroom with a king-sized bed and a gorgeous master bath with jetted garden tub. Enjoy leisurely mornings on the private balcony directly overlooking the Gulf of Mexico just outside your bedroom door!

Lounge by the private pool or access the available beach gear set up and head over to the sandy shores for an evening stroll. Swing by The Hub, a central gathering spot in the nearby Watersound community, for great food, drinks, and live entertainment! Hop on the Timpoochee Trail and bike to the nearby communities of Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, or Inlet Beach for a day of fun in the sun!

30A Pelican Paradise
The rental was in a great location with beautiful views of the ocean. Quiet location. How ever the unit was very worn and outdated. The owners need to give this place some TLC patio furniture needs to be updated and the sofas needs to be updated..

Needs some loving care!
Beautiful place and we had a wonderful time but the house does need some maintenance, some of the toilets need some repair as far as the insides go, the dishwasher was leaking so we couldn't use it, the elevator door on the main floor was broken, wine fridge in kitchen was broken and the door wouldn't close. These repairs didn't impact our stay but I feel they need to be addressed, the internet is really bad! The patio around the pool and the one downstairs off bedrooms I expected to be better maintained. The home is such a beautiful place and it just needs some maintenance!

Great family rental
Overall a great property, location and space for a family. We had adult couples with 1 child each and had plenty of room. The property does have quite a few worn items that need to be addressed/replaced. The property management team was helpful to address any items that we needed fixed during our stay (grill replacement).

Beach was outstanding
This property was a disappointment. Needs to be maintained properly and needs exterminated for cockroaches. TV’s never worked ,beach service from your vendor Brent never showed up after numerous texted messages and phone calls. The beach is all this property has going for it!

Can’t beat the views!
The location, views, and access to the beach are unbeatable. The size and layout of the house is great for large families. However, the house shows its age and has not been maintained well. Nothing that will ruin your stay or worth complaining about in the moment, but disappointing for the area and price.

Renter beware!
First, other reviews are accurate, esp about the pictures. The EXTERIOR are not accurate. The listing depicts the property to be secluded with no neighbors, this is inaccurate . The pics were clearly taken when the property was built. Since then, there have been more homes built, VERY close to this property. So the beach is shared by several others andoften right in front of this property. Next, the cleanliness and lack of repairs is accurate as well. #1 - water bugs/cockroaches were abundant downstairs #2 - in master upstairs, the shower handle was loose and fell when touched, and the hot water on one sink wouldn't even turn on #3 - ice maker works butthe dispenser does not. So you have to use your hands and kids can't reach it #4 - pull out drawer style microwave turns on, but does not heat AT ALL. #5 - top rack of dishwasher kept falling Bc it had broken parts, so you risked having dishes break #6 - tv downstairs is not user friendly and there was a sign posted about it and you were allowed to use your own AppleTV, etc. Maintenance had to come within minutes of checkin Bc we could even get it turned on #7 - listing says beach chairs & umbrellas are complimentary, but we were directed to a link to the company with a whopping 15% off code?! That's not free, or complimentary. #8 - downstairs shower was in operable #9- we were a family of 6 adults and 4 kids. There was not a single beach chair to use and there was a lack of towels. Kids found 2 small wave boards, but both were broken and couldn't be used #10 - kitchen utensils/tools/gadgets were not inline with the style of the kitchen. We had to improvise a lot. By the looks of the pics, you would expect it to be a cook's dream... think again. #11- there is a drawer w a rusty metal box inside. We think it was a bread box? But it was so rusty and disgusting, I would never store anything in there. #12 - be prepared to bring everything, including salt & pepper. There was not a single pantry item. This was the first Vrbo I've ever stayed in that didn't have the basics like salt & pepper. #13 - zero cleaning items. Only 1 tiny bottle of dishwasher detergent Good things: it is very convenient to walk down the shared stairs to get on the beach, and the patio was nice for watching sunsets. The bedding was nice and the kitchen stove/oven was nice. Beware of what you're paying for. Maintenance did come day after thanksgiving to fix a couple of things, but not all.

Beautifully decorated. Horribly renovated. Nothing worked, downstairs flooded everytime it rained.
During the pandemic we were looking for a private place with access to a private beach. The photos were very deceaving. This house is almost touching the houses on either side. The photo shows a pool which is virtually unusable and the size of a fountain.. The ice makers are inoperable, the oven fan inoperable, the barbq pit is inoperable, the toilets run because the handles are broken, a few doors are frozen shut, the first floor stays musty because of the excess moisture and rain flooding. It is so beautifully appointed decoratively, so sad that nothing worked properly. The rental agency was most attentive but these are flaws the owner needs to address.

Had a Great 4 Days
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our Family of 11 had a great stay and sleep comfortably. I have a bad kneen and not having to climb stairs to the 3rd floor was awesome. The kids loved being so close to the ocean. The grandkids loved the option of swimming in the ocean or the pool.

The view made this place really great.
Other than a few minor hiccups this was a wonderful getaway. Views took our breath away but so did walking in and seeing a dead water bug direct above the stair well when we walked in. Not a big deal just first thing we saw. The A/C on the 1st & 3rd floor wasn’t working when we arrived So we had to contact Chris, the property manager, who was very responsive and helpful. My wife and I were very impressed that Chris was able to have someone come out to fix the A/C on a Sunday night (the day we arrived). They had it both floors not working up and going in about an hours time. Last minor hiccup was each morning we were supposed to have Two umbrellas and Four beach chairs setup complimentary during our stay. Apparently, since we booked our trip very last minute, the rental place that does the setup did not receive our booking and we had to call Chris to make this happen. Overall, the views of this property, location, and responsiveness of the property manager made this a wonderful last minute family vacation.

Our favorite house yet on 30A
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 7th summer in a row to rent a beachfront house along 30A, and we all agreed that this home was our favorite. It was plenty big for our group of 10, and was beautifully designed and well equipped. The beach was beautiful and so easily accessible. It was a very comfortable for everyone, with plenty of lounging areas. The kitchen had everything we needed as well. Neighborhood was nice and even though we were there during the height of summer, the private neighborhood and beach made it feel uncrowded.

Great time at Pelican Paradise
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great property, great beach, great family experience! We all loved it, and will consider this property again in the future. 2 criticisms. 1. There was a weird leak when the kitchen sink would drain slow. It showed up in the downstairs "bedroom" with the couch. 2. The property was kind of sparse on towels and blankets. There were enough but no extra.
