We booked 3 nights at the Pelican but the on the day of our arrival we had a motorcycle wreck. My fiancee was left with a broken wrist and ankle and I received 3rd degree burns on my stomach and an injury
to my upper thigh. Due to the time and location of the accident we proceeded on to the island. My fiancee informed Phil the first morning that we were going to check out a day early to seek some medical help and try to recover. Phil was very insulting and said that he would only reimburse us $50, he was also very invasive and came into our room unannounced. Not to mention, the remote for the television didn't work and the television was on a shelf where the ceiling and wall meet which made it difficult to reach. The first morning my fiancee went to get a cup of coffee, he was yelled at, cursed and insulted by Phil for getting a spoon. I highly recommend against this bed and breakfast if you wish to have a relaxing and stress free vacation.

My husband and I arrived at the Pelican Lodge to find out our reservations were for a different time frame than we had booked. The entire Island was booked. Phil blamed us for giving him the wrong dates! Like we do not know when we are vacationing! He used profanity at my husband and tried to start a fight. We left very upset about the trip home that would take most of the night once we got off the island. Darlene at the Sweet Tooth saved our vacation. She found a private residence and convinced the owner to rent their home to us while they were away on vacation! We had a great time after that.

We weren't expecting much when we arrived based on the fact that every other place was booked up but the Pelican still had rooms available, but it was more disappointing than we expected. We were placed in "the other building" which is not only a completely different building, it is at least 1/4 mile away from the main building. The place looked delapidated and run down (at best) from the outside - overgrown landscaping, a broken down airplane in the yard, etc. Inside was clean, but certainly not a place I'd pay over $100/nt for (including taxes). The beds in our room sloped almost to the floor when we sat on them, the furnishings were very old an musty, and the television didn't work properly. Wouldn't stay there again.

We had a wonderful time at the Pelican Lodge. Phil and his wife were very nice and treated us like family. We had a run in with the Hyde Co. Sherriff on the beach and Phil and his wife pitched in to help us out in need. The owners were great and the place was wonderful right next to the famous Howard's Pub. Great time and we will be back just on bikes instead of a car. Thank you Phil, your breakfast was awesome. Maybe next time he can take us on a flight. Ask him about the nude beach.
