There is no reception here so you have to check in elsewhere or give your credit card details over the phone.
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Unfortunately the outside lights shine through the slates and keep the room bright all night.

Loved our stay
Pros:

The location is fantastic. Close to a beautiful stretch of beach, stores, restaurants, & bars. This is a classic motel that has been renovated with stunning style. Our room was spacious, clean, stylish, and comfortable. The pool and hot tub look like a 5⭐️ resort. Both are wonderfully heated. The cleaning and maintenance crew are thorough. There is a sitting area with cornhole and beautiful palm trees/landscaping. Keep in mind that there is no office staff at this location so it has a more Airbnb feel (didn’t bother us). They are responsive by phone or in person at the main inn. You are also allowed to use the beach and pool amenities at their Seaside Inn. The only negatives are the bright exterior lights with no room darkening blinds or shades. We improvised by hanging blankets and clothing over the window and door. The street is generally quiet except for weekday mornings, you may hear some post office truck noise (across the street). The price for our stay was reasonable in our opinion and we would definitely stay here again.

I love a hot shower but the shower water was extremely hot no matter how low I tried to put the water. Other than that it was a great stay.

Definitely coming back to stay!
Pros:

Overall a great experience at Pelican Post. Excellent location and great amenities on site including a small common area with games next to the pool. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the pool was a bit dirty with algae on the first day we arrived but it was cleaned well the next day. The hot tub was also not fully operating and since the weather was on the cooler side it would have been nice to use at night. Lastly, the WiFi was spotty so the TV barely functioned. Other than that it’s a must visit as it’s quiet and private and the room was spacious clean and comfortable.
