Pelican's Perch - Ocean Views! Beach is Right Across the Street!

If you're looking for a centrally-located house with abundant ocean views and easy beach access that's not far from anything on Pleasure Island, then look no further. Pelican's Perch's 2nd row center island location is just 1/4 mile from the Kure Beach and Carolina Beach line. You can walk diagonally across the street to our community's private beach access with gazebo, or ride a bike to any location on the island. Our main living area is on the top floor which gives awesome views of the ocean and also the colorful homes in the neighborhood. Ample decks outside the 2nd floor bedrooms and the upper floor living area give the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, enjoy the ocean view with a good book in hand, or just enjoy each other's company with the nice view and ocean breeze. The entire ground floor deck with an outdoor shower is surrounded by lattice for privacy. It's hidden from view and offers some shielding from the morning sun, but you can still see out and feel the ocean breeze. The garage area contains various bikes and beach supplies to help make your stay more fun. A ping pong table and a video game system will provide some indoor fun on rainy days or when you've had enough sun for the day. When the day is done, then sleep in comfort in the nicely-decorated 4 bedrooms equipped with queen beds, dreaming about what the next day on the island will bring.
Pelican's Perch isn't just a rental - It's our second home, and we're continually improving it so that it will be the best it can be. We love this home's 2nd row location and beautiful ocean views, and it is situated so conveniently to all points on the island. We believe Pelican's Perch is one of the best second row homes on the island, and we hope that you will enjoy staying there as much as we do.
Please read the following important information before booking a stay in Pelican's Perch:
There is a 3 day minimum stay with no specific required day of check-in or check-out during most of the year except for the summer high rental season. During that time there is a 7 day minimum stay running from Saturday to Saturday. When booking, feel free to send us a message including any questions that would be relevant to your group's needs. If you're planning to bring a furry friend, then we are dog-friendly. We allow up to two small and well-behaved dogs, up to 25 lbs each. Dogs are the only pets we allow and each dog must be approved by us prior to your arrival. No dogs over 25 lbs, cats, or other animals will be allowed.
Also remember that Pelican's Perch is a non-smoking house both inside and outside on any of the decks.

The place was great. We had a minor issue with the upstairs TV cutting off from the Wi-Fi. The non-stick pots and pans were peeling so you might want to bring your own.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pelican's Perch! The home is very clean and well-maintained and was perfect for our larger family group. The host is very responsive and answered all of our questions. The private beach access was great, and we really appreciated the available beach gear in the garage. We've already planned our stay for next year!

This was the perfect place for us. Location is fantastic- views of the ocean, right across street from private beach. My kids loved the ping pong table. Enough space for everyone! Plenty of beach supplies- all in great condition. Barbara- manager- was quick to respond to our questions. Will consider again should we come back to Kure.

My family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The private beach access alone and proximity to it was amazing! With four bedrooms, my three teenage daughters were in heaven not having to share a bedroom. Ocean views despite not being beach front with strategically placed decks. The house had everything we needed from the washer and dryer, to extra beach chairs, to the well-equipped kitchen. And to top it off, the property manager was easy to get in contact with and very personable.

Spacious and well stocked with your initial basic supplies. Check in and out a breeze thanks to the property manager Barb. Be aware that the entertainment and living area is on the top floor so you will get your exercise climbing stairs. Could be a limitation to those of us with knee issues. Would have been nice to have an awning or some manner of shade on the top deck in order to enjoy the great ocean view in the morning thanks to a vacant lot directly across the street. Great place to enjoy the Carolina coast with friends and family. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous Home!

Gary and Tracy’s home is absolutely beautiful and very well appointed. Our family, including our 2 and 5-year-old grandkids, enjoyed the space, beach toys, and being right across the street from a gorgeous stretch of beach! The home was absolutely spotless, and Barbara, the property manager, sent us great tips and information which made our stay super comfortable. We’d definitely be back! Thanks for a great stay!!

Girls Trip-Just the Daughters and Me

WOW is all I can say about this home! We fell in love with this place the moment we walked in! We have stayed at many many beach houses and none have been ones we have ever wanted to return to, but this HOME (not house) is the one that we will always check first from now on ! FABULOUS lay out, comfortable sofas, comfortable beds, fantastic deck furniture and beach chairs as well! We really only needed to bring clothes and beach towels, everything else was there for us! Beach access right across the street, not to mention there is an empty lot directly in front of the house so you can see the ocean from both decks, so it’s like being oceanfront…Barbara the property manager is a sweetheart, she was on top of everything- hope to see her again when we return…don’t look any further, this is the place you want to rent, trust me!

Great trip

The property was great and more than described. However, the steps are real, everything has steps, it’s a definite workout. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed for any meal. The family areas were the best for everyone to relax. The bedrooms were very spacious, and the beds were all comfy. The showerheads in the bathrooms on second level were lacking, but the one on the bottom was awesome. The downstairs game room was great and we couldn’t hear the teenagers upstairs which was a plus. The ping pong table and corn hole boards were awesome. We had a great trip and great weather.
