Pelican 7

We love this house and it has the best stocked kitchen anywhere. We didn’t go out to dinner once because we chose to grill and cook in every night.

We had a nice time at this rental. The best part was the time of year as there were not many people at the beach. We enjoyed having the house within walking distance to the beach. There was plenty of room for us to all spread out. The pool was a nice addition to have as an option when the kids just wanted to get wet and have some fun. The outside area was nice and the lighting made for an enjoyable experience out on the deck. There were a few bugs, but not sure there a way to escape all of them. They certainly didn’t bother us. While I loved the design of the interior lighting, it was a bit hard to see in the kitchen. We changed out a few of the light bulbs that were put (upon our arrival) to allow for a little more visibility. Several of the newer lighting (special bulbs) were out but I didn’t want to risk braking anything so I just left those alone. Overall, we did have a great stay as this was a relaxing place in a very uncrowded area.

Decent place with a good location (walking distance to the beach) but needs some TLC and a deep clean. Few roaches found in the house. Ants around the pool. Main floor bathroom has a soft area that feels like it could cave at any time. Outdoor furniture is dirty and moldy.
Pros: short walk to the beach, close to coligny, lots of space inside, large nice kitchen.

The house was great for us... we had 5 kids ranging in ages from 9 years to 4 months. The house is situated very close to the beach and tucked back into a little quasi culdesac. The backyard is a private oasis and the kids and us spent about 90% of the week next to the pool. The house is a little far from Coligny, but not a problem if you can either walk or catch the free shuttle (golf cart).

The house was clean and the only areas I noticed where there was “wear” was the carpet going upstairs to the back two bedrooms. Other than that the place was great. We are a big cooking family and the kitchen was well stocked and the way they remodeled that kitchen is AWESOME!

I will say the biggest thing to note is that the pictures do not do this place justice. It is much nicer in person!! We will be coming back for sure!

Great home in a good location for a large family or a few families with small kids. Home is well laid out for entertaining as is the pool and deck. Some things need a new coat of paint or some stain on the deck, but very minor compared to the experience. Pool and hot tub were heated nicely for April.

The house is in a great location and easily walkable to the beach. It's a mile to a main shopping area with restaurants. The house itself is spacious, updated and the kitchen is well stocked. The beds however, were very squeaky and be careful if you're not wearing shoes on the deck. My daughter had a couple of splinters from the wood. Overall. we had a nice stay here and would book again.

Overall we had a fabulous stay at Pelican 7, just like exactly 9 years before that.The house has a great layout for hosting several guests, and a lovely and practical decor. The two best parts of the property are the kitchen and living area, as well as the backyard oasis.
Obviously the house has been through some wear and tear over the past 9 years, but it seems to have been maintained quite well. The cleanliness of the house, overall, was satisfactory, however the kitchen was poorly cleaned before we arrived; counters and cupboard doors had stains and were sticky and the floor was dirty.That was the biggest disappointment about the property rental.I would also suggest that before each guest, a new and clean kitchen sponge and a bit of dish washing detergent should be supplied. Also a electric kettle in the kitchen would be a helpful appliance to have. Despite the pool maintenance company came by couple of times, the pool water seemed a bit filthy and cloudy.
When vacationing with (extended) family, it is always helpful when there is a washer/dryer available in the vacation property, and plenty of towels! That was great. Also the new updated blue colour of the house is a lovely and refreshing update!
This is a lovely vacation property and we are already starting to plan our next year's vacation to Pelican 7!!
Hope to see you next summer!

Great house and location. Quick mile or so to Coligny, grocery store, shops and restaurants. The house was very clean and spacious. Very comfortable. Quick walk to the beach- maybe 5 minutes. Neighbors were really cool. The pool was awesome, and we got a lot of use out of it. We had the hot tub heated for the week, but could not get it to work/heat the whole time. That was probably the only "unintentional" downfall. Selena, at Sea Turtle Getaways was awesome and really tried to help us out. We would definitely like to go back and stay here! Oh, and the hidden gem- it had an ice maker:)

Great house, close to the beach, shops, food, etc.. House was clean and in great shape, updated kitchen and furniture. Plenty of room for 2 families. Nice outdoor area- large deck, pool, hot tub and on a nice quiet street. Would absolutely rent again!

Couldn't have asked for an easier check in process, a better location, or more state of the art appliances! Only room for improvements were minor cosmetic items and the outdoor furniture. Otherwise, this was an incredible experience and a house that I would come back to again. Perfect for a big family!

First, let me say that we would rent this property again. That being said, it’s in desperate need of some simple fixes...mostly a deep cleaning. Allow me to list some pros and cons.

CONS:
*While basic surfaces (table tops, counters, etc.) were cleaned, other areas (light fixtures, windows, the exterior areas...) were in need of some major cleaning.
*As stated by numerous reviewers before, the main bath floor is dangerously soft. We were certain someone was going to go through it during our stay the laminate flooring actually separates.
*The deck furniture is gross. It was so wet and moldy looking that we never once dared to sit on it. Also, the landscaping needs to be trimmed back more. It overruns the pool area

PROS:
*The size and location of the house is wonderful. It was an easy walk to the beach and being on a cul-de-sac made it very private
*The kitchen was well stocked and a pleasure to use
*The mattresses were excellent. We all had solid nights of sleep.
*The showers and water pressure were also perfect.

Pros: Great location, very quiet neighborhood, super convenient to beach, great bike/walking/running trail, shopping and restaurants close by, well stocked kitchen, very tastefully decorated & updated, spacious, well functioning air conditioning. Cons: This property needs a new cleaning staff!! We arrived to a house with no hot water (we eventually figured out that prior to our arrival a fuse had blown),an unflushed toilet full of bowel movement, a shower drain full of hair, a trash can full of trash, picnic table covered in sand, outdoor seating (couch) that had clearly not been wiped down from the elements and a dirty pool (they supposedly clean the pool on Saturday, the day we arrived...). Despite these irritations, we really enjoyed our vacation and loved Hilton Head. If they hired a new cleaning staff there would be no hesitation about staying here again.

Great house for a large family vacation. Perfect location if you don't like crowds. Fully equipped modern kitchen. Close to beach.

Great house and location and we had a wonderful week. A few things need attention:
The floor vent in the living room is not attached and kids and adults fell into the vent several times.
The grounds had quite a bit of trash around.
The head of the pool net was broken and would fall into the water every morning when I was cleaning the pool. Need to get a new one.
Two of the buttons on the hot tub are no longer labeled making it difficult to figure out how to operate.
The steps leading to the pool need attention. Very precarious.
Two of the red plastic Adirondack chairs were broken.

We loved the ice maker and the living area. The Carolina room was adorable and comfortable for a teenager. Upstairs is very quiet front he rest of the house. Bed were comfortable and all of the bathrooms were very nice. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals.

We had a great time and loved the location and pool.

Beautiful house! Loved the fully stocked kitchen. It had everything that you could need. The pool and hot tub were great and we loved the privacy given by all the trees and foliage. The walk to the beach was easy. All of the bedrooms and baths met our needs nicely and we all had our own space. Easy drive down the road to the store. It was a perfect location. This house has ranked as one of our favorites ever!
