Best choice!

The property was exactly as portrayed in the description and pictures. But, the many extras are hard to include. The host provided so many thoughtful extras - laundry detergent, shampoo(in case you forgot yours), a few coffee pods with cream and sugar.We arrived earlier than expected and the cottage was ready and waiting for us! The cottage was so nicely decorated and looked new. Comfy beds and cloud soft pillows welcomed us after a fun day of fishing, bicycling, and exploring.Perched on the edge of Mobile Bay, we were often visited by dolphin venturing into the canal and a solitary alligator cruising the bank!Sitting on the sofa, you are able to watch the sunrise and sunset.This was a rare treat!Thank you, Nicki!

Absolutely perfect

Like new home in beautiful condition. Very clean. Gorgeous Bay view from living room. Comfortable King bed, living room furniture is extremely nice. More than likely my new “home away from home”! Hope to return soon. The only reason not to book this place is if it has already been booked by someone else…The host was great and had great communication.

Lovely stay at the Pelican Perch

I would highly recommend the pelican perch. Clean and beautiful views from every window in the house. Clean white sand for children to play or fish off the dock while cooking out on the charcoal grill. Beds were so comfortable and the neighborhood itself was clean with a friendly atmosphere for families. We will return next year!!!

Great week away

We will be back! Nikki was awesome thruout the process. The house was so clean which was nice after some places we stayed in past. Everything you need is here. Only 1 tiny suggestion is to put up a full length mirror on a door somewhere. I have 3 girls and they needed it bad but other than that everything was great!
