Direct sound access, a large grassy area for rigging and a boardwalk to a spacious private soundfront dock and more than 500 feet of shoreline make for a watersports paradise, whether kiteboarding, windsurfing, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, paddle boarding or sailing. Or just relax on the dock's large seating area and watch all the kiteboarders who launch and land at the Salvo Day Use Area - a great soundfront beach with shallow water for kids and watersports that's a quick walk, sail or paddle away. And if your thoughts turn to the ocean it's an easy walk or drive to Salvo's wide and un-crowded sandy beaches for a day of surfing, fishing, shelling or just relaxing in the sun! After a fantastic day on the water come home for a dip in the private soundfront pool or 6-person hot tub to watch an amazing sunset over the sound; or relax with a game of pool in the guesthouse or corn hole on the lawn. A huge fig and live oak canopy provides ample shade to while the day away with a good book in the hammock and shady spots for the tots to play. The main cottage allows easy access for all including seniors and handicapped, with one-level living, a ramp to the back door, and a bathroom with large accessible shower. It features a large and well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and views over the pool to the sound, a dining area that seats 12, and washer & dryer. The sunny living room has spectacular sound views and a 42" smart TV with Netflix, Pandora etc. The cottage has 4 bedrooms including two masters. Bedroom 1 is a master with a king bed, flat-screen 26" TV, large bathroom with a handicapped accessible shower, and stunning views over the pool to the wetlands and sound. Bedroom 2 is a master with a queen bed and bathroom with bath and shower, and large windows with views of the sun rising through the cedars. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and sliding glass doors to a brick patio on the soundside, and bedroom 4 has two sets of bunks (4 twin beds). Bedrooms 3 and 4 are by the hall bathroom which has a bath and shower. The cozy detached guesthouse is about 30 feet from the cottage (on the other side of the pool) via a walkway and ramp and has a part-covered deck with porch swing, adirondack chairs and amazing wetland and sound front views - a great place to watch the many birds that visit, the kiteboarders speeding by or the breathtaking sunsets. Inside there is a game room with pool table and 32" flat-screen TV with DVD / Netflix / Pandora, and a wet bar with full-size refrigerator / icemaker, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. There is also a media room (which doubles as a second living room) with a large sectional sofa with fold-out full bed (labeled living room 1 in photo descriptions), and 42" flat-screen TV with DVD, Netflix, Pandora etc. The guesthouse also features one cozy bedroom with a queen bed, and a bathroom with shower. Pelican Point is a traditional Hatteras cottage that has been fully updated, but without losing the simple island charm reminiscent of the more remote Ocracoke Island, where live oaks stand watch over one-story cottages and small family cemeteries that tell the story of the island. In fact the cottage is built by the site of the traditional homestead and resting place of some of the original settlers in the area. Their homestead lasted hundreds of years on the high ground by the live oaks, with the land where Pelican Point now stands serving as the family farm and route to the wetlands and sound for hunting and fishing. Although the original homestead has made way for development, some of the descendants still live near Pelican Point and are great neighbors with wonderful stories to tell! To help make your stay as enjoyable and relaxed as possible, we have teamed with Dawn Waldrop a premier property manager and owner of Black Dog Harbor Services (BDHS), based next door to Pelican Point. BDHS will clean and prepare Pelican Point for your arrival; provide bed linens and make the beds; and stock the house with an initial supply of paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent and trash bags to get you started. BDHS is just a phone call away to take care of any problems or concerns during your stay! Well-behaved Adult dogs (maximum of two) are welcome with payment of non-refundable pet fee ($250 per dog, per stay).

Wheelchair accessibility was also very good, the accessible bedroom had wide doorways and bathroom that was truly accommodating. The boardwalk and dock were also wide enough and safe for a wheelchair. Another plus not too far to walk to the beach Took my dog there for morning walks. ##### Nina C.

Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good spot The rental was pleasant. We had a few frustrations, but below are the pros and cons. Pros: -Great proximity to the beach -The property's dock is a fantastic amenity -Same with the pool and 'mother-in-law' house -Check-in was pretty smooth. Other than an email going to the spam folder (not the manager's fault), they called me about what I still needed to get settled, and we did it the day of, thankfully! Cons: -The 9 am check out was a little rough, with several adults and small kids -Bring laundry and dish soap if you plan on needing it -Aside from washing the sheets, you must make the place pretty clean before leaving for the 9 am checkout. It just adds to the rush of getting out the door. I would stay there again, but I think it's fair to let you know what to expect when making your packing or grocery lists! ##### Michael G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle W. Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Nice Family Getaway My family and I had a great time at the house. It was the perfect size for our party of 8. The house was clean and cozy as well as the guest house. Communicating with the management company was top notch. They gave you information about all you can do and rent in the area. We loved that the house was on the outskirts of the OBX and not by all the touristy/congestion areas. It made for a peaceful trip. The pool and hot tub were great. We spent much of our time in them. The beach is nice but if you have lots of beach gear, young kids or older adults I would suggest taking a short drive to South Beach Lane where there was beach parking as opposed to walking. This information was provided by the management in the welcome email. There was no lifeguard on this section of beach so that was a little nerve wracking for me as mom with two young kids who love the water. The house offers crab traps that we used to catch some crabs. The dock was great to sit and watch the sunrise/sunset. My kids enjoyed watching the kite surfers come by. The house came with your basic starter needs. The Blue Whale store was a short walk to get all your basic supplies. I would suggest going to Alex’s Shrimp Shack right by the house for fresh fish/shrimp. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the house. I would recommend this house if you’re looking for a place to relax and unwind. ##### Danielle W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather H. Aug 20, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden gem, in need of a little sprucing up The location was great. The dock, pool, and view into the sound were wonderful. Also, the responsiveness of the team was great when we had an issue or a question. However, the house is old and the wear and tear are showing. To note, we did discuss returning to the same home in the future. The management did assure me some of these things they would be correcting in the future. From the start of our trip little things went oddly. The house was warm upon entry and the temp seemed to stay the same for a long period of time. Luckily, we are pretty savvy and were able to correct the issue ourselves (5 closed vents). From there we had other little hurdles, like the smoke alarm battery dying and going off every 5 minutes. Or the air filter from the house, not being cleaned/changed out in quite some time (which we changed in relation to the temp of the home, believing that may be part of the issue). We also had an incident where upon immediately sitting on an outside plastic chaise lounge, it broke (person weighs 150lbs soaking wet). Dresser in the bunk room not being properly secured (screws missing for wall attachment), toilets rocking and leaking, tub/drain stopper not working to give a baby a bath. Also, seals on the back door were damaged and allowing flies to get between the door and bottom of the door frame (even some water came in during the tropical storm). Some dock/deck boards could use replacing, as well as, the wooden chair on the guest house. ##### Heather H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### evelyn s.

This is an amazing place. The ocean, the sound, and the pool, all in one place. Great dinners at the sound. Great fishing and crabbing. The store and kayak rental 5 minutes walk away. Short walk to the ocean. The house and guesthouse are convenient and versatile. There are many bathrooms, rooms, and living space. Everything you need is there. Guest house is an awesome bonus and had a pool table. Super nice, although older, house. The only couple of things I'd change: the couches are starting to get sticky. Also there were only 2 toilet paper rolls for 5 bathrooms, no soap, and no dishwasher or washing machine liquids, and the local stores were out of the latter. For a 1k a day the last thing I want is to drive around the island in search of dishwasher powder.... At any place we rented in the past some years, these things already come standard. And I imagine the lack of dishwasher liquid explains why the dishes are not super clean as well. The accessible bathroom shower is broken. But these are small things, considering. Kids are dying to come back, too! :) Thanks! ##### Katia V.

We had a lovely two week stay at Pelican Point and were charmed by the location, privacy, quiet and beauty of the place. The two houses were comfortable and convenient, all rooms on one level so no schlepping groceries and bags up numerous flights of stairs. Marsh grass between the houses and the water was home to swallows and red winged black birds and we had a resident loon who fished near our dock every day. We loved spending time on the deck of the smaller guesthouse with our morning tea, binocs to view birds, and a good book. We brought two kayaks and a small sailboat and really appreciated the convenience of the dock and the large deck at the end for beautiful sunset views with drinks and food. The swimming pool, hot tub and pool table were nice amenities and the walk to the ocean beach an easy 10-15 minutes only. We made many happy memories this summer and look forward to coming back soon! ##### Sally F. Stayed 14 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kris L.

E have always been Oceanside for the many years we have been coming to OBX. The house was unique. It was secluded with beautiful sound views. The pool was spectacular and spacious for our group of 9. We absolutely loved the long sound dock and enjoyed fishing off of it and sitting and enjoying the views. I rented a kayak and a SUP for the week for the teens in our group and they loved going out and exploring the sound. Launching from the dock was very easy. The porch on the guest house was a great outdoor gathering spot in the AM to enjoy our coffee. The boys in our group were just a little disappointed that the basketball hoop was broken and unavailable as they love basketball, but there was no shortage of other activities for them. The final day we were there, the temp and humidity were very high. The AC struggled a bit with the weather. It was not unmanageable, but not as cold as some AC we have had in the past. We absolutely loved the house and it had plenty of room for all of us to spread out and truly relax. I would recommend this property for any who loves starting sound side or someone who wants to try sound side! It was a great vacation! ##### Kris L.

Long dock over marsh to the water had a table and sitting area at the end. Great area for kayak or windsurfing. Crabbing would be great here later in the year but I went in May. ##### Michael S.

The house and cottage were perfect for our extended family of 10 -- including grandparents, kids and grandkids. Loved having our own pool, especially since the periodic rain kept us from walking regularly to the beach across the road. The private dock was an ideal place to pass the time, sit and talk and enjoy the breezes across the sound (as well as a great launching spot for kayaks). Having a separate cottage was nice...afforded some extra privacy at times, and the pool table was in almost constant use. Games and puzzles and things to do indoor when the weather did not cooperate. The area itself was a nice contrast to the crowded, busy communities to the north. All in all, a lovely place to spend a week reconnecting with family. We can all see ourselves returning! ##### Cary K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### evelyn s.
