It's time to kick off your shoes, relax and get away from everyday. And The Pelican's Elbow is the vacation home to help you do just that. It has everything you need for that relaxing week at the seashore, including a large private swimming pool and patio - great for morning coffee instead of a morning commute.

Don’t be crammed into a cramped condo. This beautiful home with its nautical décor is perfect for large families or groups. You have room to stretch out – 2020 sq. feet (largest floor plan in the neighborhood) -- with large living/dining room, four bedrooms and two baths, a spacious family room, full kitchen with a breakfast bar seating 6 and everything you need for housekeeping plus a full laundry room. Everything is on one floor, so there are no stairs to contend with.

The spacious Master bedroom features a king size bed for sleeping comfort, a TV/VCR/DVD, a private bath with double sinks, large soaker tub & shower and a huge walk-in closet. The Kahuna and Palm Bedrooms both have queen beds, TV/VCR and alarm clocks just in case you don't want to sleep in. The Twin bedroom features two twin beds and TV/VCR. All bedrooms have a ceiling fan. There are queen sleeper sofas in separate living and family rooms. We have a portable crib available.

You’ll enjoy a large back yard fenced for privacy and security with your own private swimming pool, large gas grill and tropical landscaping.

The white-sugar-sand beach is a short stroll away and dining, shopping and amusements are close at hand. You can swim with dolphins, cruise the Gulf, parasail, kayak or partake in any of dozens of other nearby activities.

At the end of a great day in the sun, you can enjoy the family room with High Definition TV/VCR/DVD and selection of books, videos and family games. Free high-speed Internet is also provided.

Kick back, soak up some sun and work on your tan (or lounge in the shade) and enjoy life at the Pelican's Elbow.
