Great location, cute cottage and super cozy!

We had a great week in this very comfortable home! It was perfect for our family.
10.0 / 10.0
We have been coming to OBX for over 20 years, and Avon for over 13. We enjoyed the convenience of the location of the property, and the quaint aspect of Tipsy Pelican. Other than the miscommunication in regards to having the home cleaned in time for our check in, we had a fantastic time, and would stay here again.

Bottom line - We enjoyed our stay. It’s decorated cute and is a fine size for 3 couples. However, the house wasn’t the cleanest:
-We moved the twin beds together to find a dead cockroach under the bed.
-Dishes weren’t clean (this is the responsibility of the renters and isn’t quality checked) and the floors and kitchen could use a good cleaning.
-We were missing pillow cases in our linen package.
-Bring hand soap and laundry detergent as it’s not included. You’ll probably also need more toilet paper than what is provided.
Also we did not receive our check in information/email in advance but I called the hosts the day of arrival and they told me the code to get in. I’m guessing there’s some kind of glitch in the system because they said they sent it and resent it.

We have been coming to the Tipsy Pelican for 3 years now and love the memories we have made there. It's clean, cozy and convenient to both the beach (easy walk) and the amenities of Avon.

This was our first visit to this home and it won't be the last. It was very clean and had everything we needed. I loved the decor throughout the house. The screened in porch was nice to relax with a glass of wine. It also helped with keeping beach towels, flip flops, etc. out of the house to avoid tracking in the sand.
The only complaint and it had absolutely nothing to do with the property, was the extremely hot sand from the dune to the beach. We had a very hot week, temps with humidity in excess of 100 for a few days. If you have little ones, please be aware..
Our family enjoyed the Dairy Queen at the end of the street. We had some really nice meals at Pangea Tavern, The Froggy Dog, Oceana's Bistro and Ketch 55. A visit to Stu's Food Truck at the Avon Pier is a MUST! And, we had the best steamed shrimp from Sunrise Seafood.
I would recommend this place for a laid- back relaxing vacation!

This is a great house! Very clean, kitchen well stocked, beds are comfortable and it is in the perfect location. Not a far walk to the beach and only a short drive to the sound. Grocery store is not far. Avon is a great little town to stay in.

We had a great experience at the Tipsy Pelican and in the OBX! The house is in a great location to walk to the beach! It offers all the amenities you would expect and anything you would need in the kitchen! There were plenty of books and games to borrow as well. We enjoyed the screened in space outside in the evenings. Overall, a great experience! Definitely coming back!

It was a great vacation property that held my small friend group. Very close stay to the beach and was helpful with not needing to drive. Cute small beach town that makes it feel like home.

We had a great time relaxing at the Tipsy Pelican. The outdoor and screened in porches were great and we were pleasantly surprised to find a washer and dryer. The 1.5 baths were enough for us and the walk to the beach is quick and easy.

We had a great time at this property. So close to the beach and we went down multiple times a day. The house was clean and had great A/C. The enclosed porch area was a big plus to keep bugs out. We will consider this place again and recommend it!

This was a great spot three homes from the beach. Quiet neighborhood street. Easy beach access. Close to all the restos and Food Lion. Had plenty of kitchen equipment and diverse seating areas - open, screened porch, and indoor. Loved our stay!

10.0 / 10.0
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Tipsy Pelican. It was nice to be able to bring our dog on vacation with us especially since not many places welcome pets. However, the Outer Banks was very pet friendly in general. The house was a great space with enough room for 5 people to spread out. The access to the beach was only a few feet away and it was also close to many little shops, eateries, and the grocery store. The house had everything we needed besides the towels and paper products. It was great having a full service kitchen including a dishwasher all week. I really liked have the option of sitting outside on either the deck or in the screened porch, the deck had a gate so our dog could sit outside with us. Avon is a little outside of where people stay in the Outer Banks, but we really enjoyed the low key and uncrowded feel of the town and beaches.

The family had a great week at the beach. Location was great. The house was right size for a 5 person family.
The one complaint was cleanliness of the property. There were cigarette butts all over the outside. We found trash and used q-tips on the floor. The screens on the porch also had holes leading to bugs getting in.

Return Visit
This is our second stay at Tipsy Pelican. We love the layout of the home and the proximity to beach, shops and wonderful restaurants. It is a great size for our family of five. Great deck and enclosed porch. Grateful for our time here! Be sure to bring paper products like toilet paper and paper towels (fyi). Food Lion is close and convenient.

Check in blues
Check in was suppose to be at 4:00. We asked for early check in and was told that we could not get in til after 5:00. Owner stated that we could use the screened in porch and bathrooms, then hit the beach. I thought that was very considerate!

Excellent Vacation!
We were so happy with the house. Clean, comfy, welcoming. The screened in porch was used all the time, every day. Quiet & friendly neighborhood. The short walk to the beach was very convenient. Such a relaxing week for us.

Nice Place to Stay
My family and I enjoyed our time at Tipsy Pelican. The area is quieter than Central OBX, and we were a short walk to the beach. There was an issue that the property owner, Jeff, had the management company address for us. Overall, I would happily stay there again if I could next year.

Perfect vacation spot
Tipsy Pelican is the perfect place to get away from the busy beaches. The house is minutes from the beach, just a few miles from the grocery store. We also had some great meals out close by. Overall it was a great week!

Great location and well appointed
The owners communicated very well prior to our stay. We loved the location. The beach home was steps from the public access walk through dunes to land directly on the beach. Avon is the perfect speed for us. The area had an assortment of nice boutiques and shops and restaurants. We recommend Oceania Bistro, Ninos Pizza and Pangea Tavern. The house was well appointed and exactly as advertised. The outside shower was super convenient for washing after a long day at the beach. Cute decor. We would love to return.

Nice house
Great house located very close to the beach. Our only complaint was the cleanliness of the house when we arrived. The shower was dirty and someone’s dog before us left a mess in the screened porch that wasn’t cleaned up prior to us arriving.
Otherwise it was nicely furnished with adequate kitchen utensils and appliances convenient for the week. Nice outside shower. The owner was responsive.

Great location and cute beach motif
Really cute place, we loved the decorations and setup in the kitchen and living room. We also liked eating outside on the front deck because it got great ocean breezes. The screened porch on the side was nice but we never stayed out there due to the hot weather. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and various bowls, knives and stuff. One recommendation is to have a light switch in the screened porch so the light could be turned on from the outside. It was pitch black and difficult to open the combo key lock in the dark.
Also there was no light underneath the house where the shower and foot bath were located., making it creepy at night. The only complaint about the inside is the double bed in the second bedroom was rock hard and very uncomfortable. It desperately needs a 3 inch foam mattress topper to make it comfortable. And finally there needs to be more toilet paper provided, Covid is over. Three people in a six person house should not run out of TP mid-week.
Bottomline, we loved our stay in this beautiful beach house and make sure you find the time to walk the beach at night and see all the crabs running around!

Great location
We really enjoyed our stay. However when we first arrived the kitchen floor was dirty, and there was hair in every drawer in the bedrooms and in the cabinets. If i had one recommendation, I would ask the cleaning crew to take a quick vacuum to drawers and the kitchen floor. Other then that we really liked the outdoor shower, and the location to the beach.

Great place!
The house had everything you could want—a fully stocked kitchen, board games, washer dryer, good WiFi. Comfortable beds, lovely decor. The location is amazing. It was great sitting on the big deck listening to the waves crash as I drank my morning coffee. Very pet friendly house and location. Will stay again.

Great Location / Comfortable House
The house was a nice as advertised. It can feel tight with more than 3 adults + pets, but the outdoor porches are very spacious. We had a great time. The home was well appointed, clean, everything in working order. And you can't beat the location.

Perfect location to the beach and the DQ at the end of the street was a big hit! Jeff was super responsive!

House needs maintenance
The Tipsy Pelican has a fantastic location but needs a good cleaning. We arrived to find a filthy screened porch and outside shower. The owner apologized but said it was the responsibility of the departing tenant. In fairness to the previous tenant that’s not stated anywhere. There was also the remnants of an unrepaired broken window in the kitchen that was dropping bits of tempered glass on the floor. The owner apologized. The stove threw the breaker if more than one burner was on. Again the owner apologized. He made no attempt to send someone to clean up or repair the window or stove. The interior of the house reeked of disinfectant, the carpeting is stained and it’s very dusty. This owner needs to spend a little money on a local handyman.

Perfect for families with young kids
We enjoyed the location just a few steps from the beach stairs, screened in porch, and having everything on one level (convenient with little ones). Lots of hooks for hanging towels. Stove was wonky while we were there, but the owner offered to fix it.

The perfect place to stay
Loved everything about this property! It’s location to the beach was excellent just a short walk. There was everything you could possibly need and more. The screen porch, the deck, the outdoor shower, were all used tons. The house was perfect for the 4 of us. No doubt we will be back!
