About this house rental
Experience the ultimate vacation with The Pelican House
Welcome to The Pelican House, located in the luxurious gated resort community of Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms, SC. Here you will find the peace and relaxation you've been yearning for. Location, location, location is what makes a great vacation, and The Pelican House does not disappoint. Just 500 steps from the most beautiful private beach in IOP, you won't have to get in the car and try to find a parking space to get to the beach. If you're wanting to be poolside, The Pelican Bay community pool is just steps away from the front door, too! This property is truly a gem.
In 2023, this house was torn down and rebuilt to almost 3,000 square feet with all new amenities, new appliances, furniture and décor. The first floor features an expanded floor plan with an open kitchen featuring new Bertazzoni appliances, Bosch induction stovetop, a large kitchen table that seats 8, an island with sink that seats 3 and a coffee station. An open living room with sectional sofa leads to a large primary bedroom en-suite with a Sleep Number King Bed, 55” SmartTV, oversized walk-in shower, jacuzzi-like tub, and custom walk-in closet. A private Captain’s Lounge with wet bar, SmartTV, Sonos SoundBar and an electric fireplace overlooks the Pelican Bay lagoon. The mudroom offers laundry and storage space. All this, plus a covered porch with Adirondack chairs provides southern charm over-looking our giant Southern Magnolia tree.
The second floor provides 3 spacious bedrooms, a bonus surf loft area with a 75” LED SmartTV, and an office space also with 55" SmartTV and SONOS sound bar -- Perfect for remote workers and studying. There is a Jack-n-Jill full bathroom attached to the secondary king bedroom (with a Sleep Number Mattress) en-suite and office, and there is a shared bath with tub situated between a queen bedroom and another bedroom with two full beds. A secondary laundry area is also provided. Upstairs you will also find a porch with 2 Adirondack Chairs that makes this home even more comfortable for that relaxing vacation you've been dreaming about.
The ground level features an outdoor shower, garage space and access to the first-floor mudroom.
The house is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, DirecTV STREAM and multi-zone central A/C (HVAC).
Local golf, tennis, pickleball, and bicycle rentals all located in the Wild Dunes area. There is plenty of dining options in Wild Dunes along with an amazing spa!

Our family of 8 adults and 2 babies had the absolute best vacation. We always love wild dunes, but as our family grows it gets harder to find the right spaces. This home was perfect. Spacious, great seating, new appliances, comfortable beds, and excellent proximity to the pool and beach. A definite repeat!!

We had a great time in Wild Dunes. The house was great, conveniently located, and worked really well for our family. Literally the only thing I would mention is that we tried to work the ice maker for two days and finally gave up and had to buy ice.

Our family enjoyed this beautiful home close to the beach, comfortable beds, beautifully decorated, lots of space to spread out, great kitchen (bring your own crockpot & extra dish towels), outdoor shower with warm water was a huge bonus, very clean home. Highly recommend this house to anyone traveling to IOP. We txtd with maintenance 1 time re garbage disposal and they were very responsive guiding us thru resetting the 2 button unique setup at this houseOnly recommendation for property mgmt company was the nearby community pool water appeared unclean. Water was cloudy vs clear. We spent most of our time at the beach so not a big issue for us.

The newly constructed home at 11 Pelican Bay was gracious, very roomy, and beautifully appointed. My spouse, my kids, and my Grandkids all loved the home.

Great place to stay! Perfect location with just a quick walk to the beach. The house has everything you need for your time away as well as ample space for eveyone in the house. Can't wait to go back!

The house itself was nice. Some things are a little rundown/outdated and need fixing. The "beach items" it states they provide, are left over items from other visitors. Nothing of real substance. Not enough towels for the 5 people who stayed, no kitchen towels, and very miscellaneous utensils. Overall, still a good house. Cleaning service needs to update their checklist.

The location is great and we love staying inside Wild Dunes Resort. The beach and pool are very close to the property and with a two month old it was very convenient. The property needs to be better maintained and bug treated. We found large roaches through out the house and contacted the management company. They were quick to respond and sprayed the next morning but that problem is not going to be solved overnight. We also had a big issue with mosquitos out front. Anytime we went to get in our vehicles we were swarmed by them. It was literally a race to get into the car so they didn’t get in with us. Overall enjoyed our stay but for that price point it definitely could have been better.

Beautiful, clean house with a great location! Only a short walk to the beach and the pool was right around the corner. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!
4.6
The location was a short, easy walk to the beach. We loved the front porch swing and spent most of our time on the back screen porch. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well-stocked and we had everything we needed. The home's exterior could use pressure washing and repairs, as it looked tired. The wood on the screen porch was filthy and could have been at least wiped down if not washed. The interior was clean enough and nicely decorated. The furniture was comfortable and the living area was cozy. It's a lovely home but needs a little TLC. We enjoyed our stay and liked the home. The rental agency was responsive and very helpful. We rented both bikes and an umbrella and beach chairs, which was a nice service that we enjoyed.

This cozy home lives up to its online photos, description, & more. Great location for beach-walking, bicycling; & easy access to Charleston, county parks, sites of interest, & national forest. We “wintered” here (January-March) & had plenty to do, while feeling comfortable & safe, with just enough conveniences on Isle of Palms & nearby Sullivan’s Island. We’d highly recommend both Island Realty & this particular property. The only amenity we missed was an outdoor grill. The well-appointed kitchen made up for that, & we quickly came to understand why such a lovely neighborhood might want to keep renters’ fire hazards at a minimum! Bottom line: all good.

We notified Island Realty as well as the insurance company. The insurance company is refusing to pay our claim, leaving us out thousands of dollars. I will not be booking any other vacations through island realty or their bogus insurance companies. Total scam.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Pelican Bay 11. The house is clean and inviting. Our favorite was the screened in porch and the front porch swing! The beach and pool are a short easy walk! We rented bikes and rode around to the restaurants and other locations within Wild Dunes. I highly recommend doing this (we did the tandems with our younger kids)! We would definitely stay again at this beautiful beach house!

My only concern is the cleanliness of the rental. There were clothes in drawers and papers from the previous weeks renters... It was not appropriate for my teenage son to get into his room and open drawers to find female underwear and clothes. Just weird and I think a quick look thru could have prevented that moment. I did go thru and make sure that we threw away everything we found and left the place cleaner than we found it. Because that is the right thing to do...
