Mar 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just right for us We stayed at Pelican Paradise during its previous incarnation and love what the new owner has done with it. San Luis Beach is quieter and roomier than the Village of Surfside, which we stuck with for 60 years. Weekdays, the beach was gloriously empty. During two brilliantly sunny days, the mostly well-behaved crowds appeared, which is something for February. Love the potable water from the new well and the icemaker (which needs a fix). ##### Michael B. Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Larry B.
