We had a fantastic stay at the Pelican Motel! The waterfront views were stunning, and our rooms were clean and well-equipped, making it a great value for money. While the kitchen was a bit understocked, it didn't hinder our experience. I do wish the area was closer to stores and restaurants, but the quiet atmosphere made it worthwhile. Overall, it was a perfect getaway for our family.

I had a fantastic stay at this motel! For just $67 a night, the value can't be beaten, especially considering how clean and comfortable everything was. The staff was incredibly helpful and made us feel very welcome. The only downside was that there are no beach facilities, but overall, I would definitely return for the price and the pleasant experience.

I had a good experience overall at the resort, with a comfortable room and a nice kitchen setup. However, there were some cleanliness issues that detracted from my stay, and the service could have been better. The location was great, but the communication about room cleaning and ice availability needs improvement.

The Pelican Resort has improved a lot over the years, maintaining a charming, relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are modernized and clean, making for a comfortable stay. The staff is accommodating, but there is no daily maid service unless requested. Additionally, having a boat ramp is a great perk for avid boaters, although the absence of daily clean-up may be inconvenient for some.

The resort is in a great spot right on the Gulf, offering easy access to the water and beautiful sunset views. There's a nearby boat ramp that made it convenient for us to use our own boat.

I had a good time at Sun Outdoors Marathon, but I wish there had been clearer communication about what was included with our vacation rental. While the staff was friendly and the location in the middle of the keys is excellent, the lack of cleaning services and some amenities dampened the experience slightly. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for something comfortable without breaking the bank.

Our vacation rental was mostly clean and decent in size, but it lacked a washer and dryer, which was misleading. The water heater was also quite small, running out halfway through showers.

The shared bathrooms and laundry facilities could use better maintenance. The absence of a change machine made laundry inconvenient.
