The balconies are gorgeous--the higher floor this time has a better view above the palm trees. Both times we've been here have been in January, so we haven't been able to use the outdoor pools or the lazy river. The indoor pool is large! There's a great game room, a movie theater, and a gym on the property. Everything is access-controlled, so you feel safe. Getting to the beach is about a 5-minute walk. This is a beautiful place! We booked through Ryson Vacation Rentals both times. Great communication, easy check-in and check-out process.

The lower deck had a large table that we could easily sit around for some quality time! The upper deck (we fondly nick named the crows nest), had great views of the beach and sunset.

Location: Its basically beachfront, and private. So it's not a crowded beach. It's also so close to the seawall, and to restaurants/ groceries/ conveniences. I recommend Seawall Coffee in the morning for delicious coffee and food (only about a mile away). House: We fit 4 kids and 5 adults very comfortably. It has great communal space for games, movie night, etc. The house feels well taken care of and up to date. Can't wait to go back!

I want to share our experience with Pelican Pointe as well as Sand and Sea rental management…read morecompany for the weekend of 2/19 to 2/22/2026. Pelican Pointe is tired and needs resuscitating. As you arrive you notice rusted screws, nails and bolts that are staining the exterior surface. This makes one wonder about the integrity of the structure. The living room chairs and rugs are stained and dull. The laminate floor is cracked near the dining table and an edge is sticking up. The windows have water and weather streaks. The skillets are terrible as food sticks to them and they are difficult to clean. The saucepans are nice. The dishwasher has parts falling out from under the machine. The primary suite toilet paper holder was loose and wiggly. The bar b que pit has seen better days. I would think Sand and Sea would insist the house be in better condition for guests but this lack of desire for a sterling experience spills over into their lack of guest amenities. I have stayed in many airbnbs, vrbos, and realty managed properties across the U.S. This is one of the worst. It is poorly cleaned. The refrigerator smelled like fish. Food crumbs and particles were found in the utensil drawers. Cobwebs were observed under the kitchen counter. It is not adequately stocked with basic necessities. Sand and Sea provided a welcome pack of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bar of hand soap and a make up remover pad. They do NOT provide bath soap nor gel. While my husband was showering with the bar of soap, I was washing my face with shampoo. More alarming is the lack of anti bacterial soap in the kitchen. If one is to wash their hands before handling food, they will wash their hands with the soap they just used in the shower and cleaned their genitals with. Being a medical professional, this is not hygienic. I asked for anti bacterial soap and bath gel during our stay but was told they were not provided. Yes, the home does have a coffee machine but bring your own K cups, sugar and crème. These are not provided. Also bring salt and pepper. These are not provided. Bring your own insect repellant as mosquitos swarm the area. Guests are expected to take out the trash upon leaving but none of the bathroom trashcans had trash liners so the guest has to take the kitchen trash bag from under the sink and go to each bathroom trash can and empty into the larger trash bag. We stayed for 2 nights and were provided 1 towel each. Again, being a medical professional, a fresh towel after each shower is needed. Yes, I could have gone to another bathroom's towel supply but if all capacity guests were present, still only 1 towel for multiple nights. There were some positives about this property. The view of the water was nice. The beds were very comfortable. The downstairs lamps have touch on/off and have integrated charging stations. It was a short walk to the beach. The negatives fully outweigh the positives on this property. I will not be coming back. I will never use nor recommend Sand and Sea again.

I have stayed in nicer hotels in Mexico. Also, when we tried getting someone to wait on us at the pool and the Blake Restaurant, they basically ignored us until we said something. Also, the food was mediocre at best as well. It had no flavor. Also, we were told that the Steakhouse was closed on Sundays by two different employees. Come to find out, it was not closed after all. They need to get all of their employees on the same page. Also, we were never greeted when we arrived as well as when we left. We won't be staying here again. Since we paid alot for a two night stay, the hotel should have been excellent.

I am writing this review to provide an honest, balanced look at my recent experience with BeachBox…read moreVacation Rentals so other travelers can plan cautiously.I was booked to stay at "The Blue Marlin" for a summer weekend trip. Exactly three days before our scheduled check-in, I received an unexpected notification from BeachBox stating they had to cancel our entire reservation due to urgent house maintenance. While completely understanding that property issues happen, a cancellation this close to a trip causes an immense amount of stress and forces you to scramble for last-minute accommodations during peak season.The reason I am leaving 3 stars instead of a lower rating is because of their financial handling of the situation. Once the cancellation happened, BeachBox acted in a timely manner regarding my funds. While there was a slight delay in getting the official merchant transaction receipt to track on my end, they did not fight the refund process, and the bank successfully processed the return of my funds without a long, drawn-out contractual battle.Ultimately, the customer service response regarding the money was prompt, which I appreciate. However, travelers should be aware that last-minute maintenance cancellations can happen with their inventory without them offering any other options in place of or discounts for different locations so it is smart to have a backup plan or remain cautious when booking tight timelines during busy seasons.

He listened, acknowledged my concerns, and ultimately honored the partial refund I had requested, along with offering a 25% discount on a future stay. I genuinely appreciate the time he took to address the situation and the effort to make it right. While my original comments about the property's condition and cleanliness still stand, I believe it's only fair to recognize good customer service when it happens. Eric's professionalism and willingness to resolve the issue significantly improved my impression of the company, and I hope the feedback leads to better experiences for future guests.
