Welcome to "The Pelican" condo in Atlantic Beach, NC. Our place is clean and comfortable and supplied with everything you need including TVs in each bedroom, high-speed wireless internet, and a chef's kitchen. Fresh bed linens are included complimentary of charge as are bath towels, washcloths, and beach towels - pay attention to other units where these items are additional charges. We also do not charge you for additional guests up to the 6 max. limit. I can't stand staying at places that nickel and dime me with more charges.

See the broad list below of items you do not have to pack. We are equipped for you to be able to fly in with your personal items and the condo has everything you need for your enjoyment for a week or more at the beach! Also, our place is professionally cleaned and disinfected after each guest stays.

Grand open 1-level floor plan (we have an elevator so no stairs required), 3 BR / 2 full bathrooms (2 queen beds and 2 twin). All one level on the 2nd floor of the building with ELEVATOR access. Giant chef's kitchen with everything you need to prepare great meals. Open kitchen, dining and family room with tons of light and vistas of the ocean. Enormous balcony to savor ocean vistas (ocean vistas in 9 out of 13 windows).

Our condo community is modest, so the pool won't have hordes. Note that only guests accounted for on the guest form, that are staying at the condo, can use the pool. There are only 2 buildings with 9 units each.

Note that new for future units as of 9/2023 - the HOA has restricted us not only to 2 parking spaces per unit but also for only the same 2 cars staying at the condo parking. It doesn't mean that you can't have someone over for dinner and a visit but it does mean that you can't switch out the 2 cars during your stay. The 2 cars listed on your HOA form are the only 2 cars authorized to be on the property for more than a few hours or overnight.

We are located across the street from the beach with handsome ocean vistas and walking distance (1 min.) to 2 beach access points, 3 eateries, a few stores and a craft beer pub including Molly's Beach Bar & Grille where you can appreciate a light meal or a drink sitting on the DoubleTree Hotel Pier with enchanting vistas.

We bought this place at end of 2020 and decided that we wanted it to be the best of what we have found in other units that we have stayed in. In the kitchen, we have spices, seasonings, condiments in the frig, and starter coffee k-cups. We prepare - so the kitchen is full of the items you if you want to prepare your favorite meals. We have comfortable furnishings to sit on and simple beach access. We have a beach cart to make it painless to bring things from your car up the elevator to the condo (we keep this one sand-complimentary) and we have another one dedicated to the beach to make your beach days easy. We always longed to find a place at the beach that we could rent each year and "know" what we were getting, - and for it to feel like a home away from home. I hope this will meet that for you!

For those who may need to work while here, we have an office chair, modest desk setups that can be used, and high-speed wireless internet. I work here for weeks at a time during the off-season of spring and fall.

If you rent our condo, we ask that you respect the tranquility and privacy of your neighbors. Most of our neighbors live in their condos and do not rent them.

Our top Atlantic Beach rental home booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Havelock restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Gorgeous Ocean Views - 1 min walk to beach access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If not, call the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
