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.

Substantial 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. Extensive 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. Generous balcony to appreciate 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 for future units as of 9/2023, the HOA has restricted us to 2 parking spaces per unit and only the same 2 cars staying at the condo parking throughout your stay. 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 striking 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 savor a light meal or a drink sitting on the DoubleTree Hotel Pier with handsome 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 painless beach access. We have a beach cart to make it simple 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 vacation rental tips:

When to book a Beaufort, NC rental & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Beaufort, NC attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
