Although, the smell from the rotting seaweed in the end of the canal was brutal. Really the only negative from our stay. ##### Ron G. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle Q.

The pool is amazing. ##### Danielle Q. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bd ..

Pelican’s Roost is in a great central location- easy to go to all the other keys east or west. Home is well stocked and we didn’t need a thing. Beds were super comfy and Hugh and Wendy were great about communicating the power was (unexpectedly) going to be out for a few hours and to work with us had we decided to change our plans. We look forward to our next stay at Pelican’s Roost. ##### bd .. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pendance G.

The vacation home was immaculately clean. The appliances were either brand new, or I am fooled. The host thought of every detail of making our stay positive. The view of the water from the screened deck was very peaceful. We had a question during our stay. The host was very quick to respond. We want to come back and sit on the deck soon. ##### Andrew E.
