Welcome to our home, which we’ve dubbed The Gaudy Pelican.

This impressive complimentary-standing home offers 4 bedrooms and 3½ baths, ocean vistas, 6 wall-mounted intelligent TVs, an outdoor bar, two sizable decks, a shady lanai, kid’s space, office space, and much more. It’s also only a 1-min. walk to the beach and an painless walk along the beach to the Tiki Bar & Grille. The Gaudy Pelican cannot be matched for location, comfort, and amenities.

As you enter the main floor, you will find your welcome basket, filled with goodies just for you! The living room has vaulted ceilings, plenty of seating, a wall-mounted intelligent TV, and a propane fireplace for those cooler comfortable evenings. There’s even a full-sized pullout couch, just in case. There's a bar height counter and a pantry that features a wine refrigerator. The dining area has an upsized table, a bar table, and tons of windows.

You’ll also find a full bath and a private bedroom, “Tenta-cool”, with a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, window seat overlooking the pool, and a wall-mounted intelligent TV.

Down to the ground level you'll discover a roomy bedroom/playroom, “Turtley Awesome”, featuring a wall mounted intelligent TV, bean bag chairs, toys & games, a triple bunk bed, a single bed, and a pullout couch. There’s plenty of room to play ping pong in the attached garage where you can also store all your beach gear. The garage is also equipped with a beach wagon, chairs, an umbrella, and towels for the beach. We’ve even supplied a few bicycles for getting around town on the many bicycle trails found in Carolina Beach.

Also on the ground floor is an over-sized washer and dryer, iron & ironing board, and drying racks. Less fun but very convenient!

On the second floor is the master bedroom suite, “Crab-ulous”, that has a king-sized bed, a private bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, dual sinks, a cavernous walk-in closet, and its own access to the sundeck.

This floor also contains a second bedroom, “Fin-tastic”, with a king-sized bed, vistas overlooking the pool, and an alcove to read or just hide. The alcove couch is also a pullout bed.

All the way at the top, you’ll find an office set up for your convenience, with dual monitors, wireless keyboard, mouse and fast WiFi. We know it’s your vacation, but sometimes we all need to check in, read an e-mail, take a Zoom meeting, or at least appear to be working. It’s here if you need it. We suggest you don’t. Sit by the pool or wander to the beach. It’s so close!
