Five women in the 2 bedroom unit worked perfectly! It has a full kitchen and lots of space in the living area and the 3 large picture windows gave us the best ocean view ever! We had a great time and can't wait to book our next trip back. Beds were comfortable too. It may not be the Bellagio, but it's an affordable, clean and quiet place where the staff is so kind and gracious.

Our family loves coming to Pelican Shores. We have stayed here two to three times a year for the past 5 years. We always reserve the Fireplace Suite on the top floor. Always quiet, very clean and great views. The recent upgrades to the mini kitchen; new microwave and fridge and the new hide-a-bed and TV in the living room are great improvements. The kids love the pool and we use the barbeque every visit. The staff is great and always friendly and helpful. I'll have to agree with other writers that the continental breakfast could be somewhat improved but should not be considered a negative. The quiet location yet close enough to town is another great hotel advantage. Private and easy beach access is another plus.

Clean place; comfortable beds; congenial staff; away from the mega-hotels and downtown; quiet; continental breakfast is typical packaged bad food, but a way to fill your gut for the morning; the place is great, and we'd go back for sure.

This place turned out to be a great bargain -- $89.00 (in February) a night for a comfortable queen bed room with a stunning ocean view. When we drove in, we thought "oh, well, it doesn't look too great," but upon seeing the room we started changing our mind. Beach access is down an easy flight of stairs. The motel has been totally and nicely refurbished. There is also an indoor swimming pool and continental breakfast, coffee all day and some cookies in the evening. We were so pleasantly surprised, and will try to get that room again (108).
