The Pelican Key Largo Cottages

We chose Pelican Cove as an overnight break during a long drive down to Key West. We're so glad we did. Because we were staying only the one night, our accommodation was chalet standard rather than hotel room quality, but functional and comfortable none the less. But the show-stopper was the beach - sheltered, so not turbulent; great for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking, or just lazing the day away, it was a little piece of perfection. The staff were lovely - very helpful - and gave us a great recommendation for a nearby restaurant, where we had a fabulous meal and watched a spectacular sunset. I would highly recommend Pelican Cove to anyone.

I’ve been staying at this property for many years and it’s always been enjoyable..

The Pelican is great, as it's close to everything. The parking was easy, with each room having its own designated parking slot in front. It has its own beachfront, where we sunbathed and swam. The room was basic but had everything we needed, and it was very clean. The staff changed our towels every day and ensured our needs were met. They even have a ice machine, which I found especially helpful to have in a hot and humid weather. Important: bring your mosquito repellent if you're the kind that's favored by them. We didn't always feel the weather was hot enough to turn on the air con (which was loud), especially when it rained, so when the air con was off, the mosquitos had a banquet in our room.

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.

Location is amazing, all the cottages have use of a private beach which was generally very quiet. The staff were very kind and generous, when they discovered it was our anniversary they upgraded our room to a larger one with a kitchen and sitting area. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had great facilities, lots of crockery and plenty of cooking utensils with a large microwave, full size fridge freezer and double hob. They gave a very useful information sheet which listed good places to eat and drink and this was really useful.
