“The very best...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

The new owners of the Pelican Inn have changed things just enough to make your stay more comfortable yet managed to maintain all the historic charm of this beloved old inn. The closed in porch dining room affords sweeping views of the marsh, and the air conditioning throughout makes for cool comfort after a day on the beach in the low country. The food blends the best of southern cooking and fresh healthy ingredients. We loved seeing tomatoes growing in pots creekside then enjoying them on a platter with fresh basil at mid day dinner. New linens and mattresses and colorful rag rugs make for a restful comfortable decor. There is wi-fi on the wrap around porches and in the living room. And the vegetation surrounding the inn and covering the walkway to the private beach add a special charm. Whether you want to fish, kayak, ride bikes or just stretch out on the hand crafted Pawleys Island hammocks on the covered porches or in the oceanfront gazebo your stay will be magical.

“Fantastic Beach Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

My wife and our two kids stayed at the Pelican Inn in July. Beautiful historic inn - but comfortable and laid back. My kids, ages 8 and 11, felt totally at home. Unbelievable breakfast and lunch are served each day. Views from the house are spectacular. Owners take pride in their lovely place and really show you a good time. Beach is perfect for swimming and feels like a private beach. Peaceful island with safe roads for bike riding and running. Other things to do include crabbing, kayaking, fishing and lying in hammocks.

“Loved it so much we went twice in one month!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2011

Took my husband to the Pelican for Fathers day and we enjoyed it so much we went back for July 4th with the whole family. It is the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and just enjoy the beach and spending time with loved ones. The food is truly fantastic and the owners make you feel much more like a houseguest than a customer. My 5 yr old sonsaid it all when he said "Mama, can we come here every vacation?"

“Classic South Carolina Beach Experience”

We cannot say enough good things about our recent stay at the Pelican Inn! We were there for a family reunion and had the whole Inn to ourselves. The new owners and their staff did everything they could to make our stay wonderful and the food was fanstasic! We will definitely be making the Pelican Inn a new family tradition.
