The townhome was clean, had everything we needed, and just all around comfortable to spend time in and relax. Close to everything most importantly the water, the only minor downside was hearing the traffic in the mornings but out of their control. My teen niece enjoyed the large clean pool, we all appreciated the kitchen (small but had all we needed) and the guys agreed the beds were well kept and comfortable! Also, Kelly was responsive and helpful! I’d recommend to anyone.

We booked a last minute trip for our family. We decided to go with this place, because the pictures looked great and didn’t look outdated like most places. Everything was as pictured. Clean stay for my little ones. Please note there is tile throughout the home including the stairs so just something to keep in mind if you have infant/toddlers. Other than the room not being available at our check in time, everything else was great & location is near by HEB and fast food places. Less than 10 mins from beach. We would recommend this place to family & friends.

Kelly was amazing! We ended up having to do a last minute booking due to a camping trip gone sideways and she was so accommodating. We ended up having 2 extra friends join us and she was very quick to respond when we sent the request. The location is amazing too! The place was very clean and welcoming!

Nos encantó, todo estubo perfecto. Solo falto un trapeado ya que tiene alberca y no tener trapeado estubo mal ya que el piso es resbaloso y mojado más.

This home is perfect for no more than 4 people. The kitchen was disappointing due to the lack of cookware, bowls, utensils, basic spices, and containers. If you plan to do more cooking than eating out, bring supplies. Living room space didn't seat 4 people comfortably. We shared our experience with owner in hopes for future success for others. Parking spot is super, super tight but thankfully the common parking area isn't far. The pool was great and neighbors were quiet. Enjoyed the short drive into town for shopping, restaurants that were open, and of course the BEACH! Highly recommend the newly opened Marker 12 restaurant and bar down the road!!

You can expect everything that Kelly has posted to be true. We enjoyed our stay there.

Kelly's place was a great getaway for a long weekend. The Little Yellow Pelican was a perfect size for our family of 4. The community pool was fantastic for kids and right outside our door. Everything you could need for a trip was available. Kelly also was a great communicator and offered restaurant recommendations and answered all our questions promptly.

Overall, the property complex is pretty cute — 25 or 30 small cottages, with the exteriors painted in pastel colors, and with a nicely maintained central pool and courtyard. The unit I rented has a nice interior color scheme, with the contemporary gray/beige vinyl flooring, light gray walls, and white trim. Other pluses: The ceiling fans are nice and quiet. The AC is strong enough to cool the unit down quickly. The kitchen and baths were clean upon checkin. On the minus side, knocking my rating down to a 4: The unit is a bit musty. You get used to it when you’re there, but you sure notice it when you go away for a while and then return. The master toilet isn’t fully bolted down, so it rocks when you’re doing your business. Both toilet seats need to be replaced, as they have worn-through spots on the underside. The blinds don’t raise; they are permanently lowered, as they’ve cut off the raise/lower control strings, somewhat annoying when you want some fresh air and need to open the windows. The boxsprings have no coverings, so they look somewhat unfinished, especially the master boxspring, which is a little worn and tattered. The coffee pot basket was filthy upon checkin; the carafe itself was clean enough; but the basket still had old grounds in it that actually smelled. The back porch was very dirty upon checkin, and the deck chairs were too dirty to sit on without me washing them with soap & water. The pool is adequate, but needs a remodel, or at least a refresh, as it has the old 1990s redwood color scheme, which really clashes with the pastel cottages. Further minuses, knocking my rating down to a 3: The windows had no screens, and the latches and control surfaces were very filthy. I had to wash those too, at least the 2 windows I regularly opened when I wanted fresh air. As there were no screens, every day was a fly-chasing exercise, and I had to clean up debris that blew in when the windows were open. The couch has an offensive smell, maybe “old dog that needs a bath”, or cheap insecticide, or human BO, or a combination thereof. It really needs a deep clean, or replacement. The sink is damaged and needs to be replaced. It’s actually been painted, and the paint is peeling. The refrigerator door has rust spots all over it. The other stainless appliances don’t have that problem, but the fridge sure does. Since I was there for a month, these things tend to bother me more than they would a weekend renter. All in all, it’s still a good value, just a 3-star good value, not a 5-star good value.

This was a lovely Little Pelican! Very roomy, very clean, it was nice to have the 2nd entrance to the courtyard for the dog. Like another renter, the GPS seemed to have trouble but put in The Cart Store and you’ll get there with no problems. Owner was very responsive to any question; we had no problems. You will enjoy it and Rockport!
