The Pelican Key Largo Cottages

We have been to The Pelican several times throughout the years. We keep coming back because it is a small chill place right on the beach, nice room with kitchenette, good size bath and comfortable bed. They have a washer/dryer on premises and usually offer a good price.

I loved the outdoor atmosphere, I literally felt like i was on a tropical island. Me and my husband went out to the beach docks every night and could hear the fish doing little jumps out of the water. It was soo peaceful and beautiful especially during sunset. It was also cool to dine in at a Dine-in, Diners, Dives restaurant from the food network show. Right next to our hotel, amazing food. Other than that I like how it wasn't extremely crowded compared to key west.

Our room was upgraded free to a bigger size with two queen bed. A/C was perfect in hot daytime hours, and the beach was excellent. We were close to the warm sea water and the gentle waves were pleasant. Free kayak use was outstanding, I chose a single rider but a two rider was also ready. Kayaking was very enjoyable, and I spent hours going around and taking sunburn on my legs. My upper body was protected with my long sleeves, better than sunscreen. Excellent parking was in front of our unit. Washer and dryer were available. Evening was quite and the waves and breeze were soothing. Maybe I should try sleeping outside next time. The staff were outstanding and helpful. We walked at night to many restaurants and stores like Walgreen on the street. In whole I made an excellent decision to stay here and hopefully stay and visit Key Largo again.

It seemed like we were the only ones there, yet it was fully booked. The privacy was unexpected. Loved the excellent food within walking distance. There’s even a grocery store across the street. Coming from rural Montana this was amazing. The vibe and setting were amazing.

We got a really warm welcome when we arrived to check in. We arrived slightly early but the room was ready and they checked us in straight away which was great. Although rustic the room was comfortable the bed was comfortable and the shower was good and it had everything we needed. The beach front of the hotel is absolutely gorgeous easy to swim in the beautiful warm sea. They had docks out into the sea with chairs to sit on which was wonderful we loved sitting on them in the morning and at sunset to watch the sun go down with a drink. They was also kayaks to use which was great and we saw lots of manatee which was a wonderful experience. Loved this little place and would love to back
