Clean, nice home with a great view of the bay. Caught several species off the dock and at the beach across the street. The golf course near by was immaculate. Will stay here again.

Relaxing at its best
I would give Pelican’s Perch more than 5 stars if I could. This place is an amazing property on the bay with a very short walk of about 5 minutes to the beach on the Gulf side. The house was just as it was pictured and was immaculately clean when we arrived. Nicki was a great host and you cannot go wrong with a stay here when visiting the area. I know that this will be the first property I check on when we are planning another trip.

Absolutely perfect
Like new home in beautiful condition. Very clean. Gorgeous Bay view from living room. Comfortable King bed, living room furniture is extremely nice. More than likely my new “home away from home”! Hope to return soon. The only reason not to book this place is if it has already been booked by someone else…The host was great and had great communication.

Great cottage!
1) The hosts were very friendly and responsive. 2) The cottage has recently been renovated and the results are amazing. No corners were cut, and the attention to detail is very apparent. The new furniture in the living is very nice looking and sturdy. 3) The sanded area around the camp is great for kids. 4) Five minute walk to the Gulf. It was relatively clear while we were there. 5) We caught many Pinfish, Pig fish, and even a tiny Spanish Mackerel (threw it back of course) in the bay. I can't think of anything negative.

Great week away
We will be back! Nikki was awesome thruout the process. The house was so clean which was nice after some places we stayed in past. Everything you need is here. Only 1 tiny suggestion is to put up a full length mirror on a door somewhere. I have 3 girls and they needed it bad but other than that everything was great!

Home Away From Home!
Peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed Mobile Bay and Gulf of Mexico atmosphere. “Pelican Perch” well named because of the pelicans flying around property and perching on older structures over the water. The cottage was a real plus for us.

Lovely stay at the Pelican Perch
I would highly recommend the pelican perch. Clean and beautiful views from every window in the house. Clean white sand for children to play or fish off the dock while cooking out on the charcoal grill. Beds were so comfortable and the neighborhood itself was clean with a friendly atmosphere for families. We will return next year!!!

Needed more time
I never rent a property with less than a 4.7 average star rating. But I took a risk on a property with no reviews when I booked it, and the risk paid off. This property is in a beautiful location! My husband was able to fish off the private pier and I was able to work on my dissertation with a beautiful water view. Description says it's a 5-7 minute walk to the beach. We chose to drive and park in one of the two little pull off areas. We could have walked, but carrying beach supplies it's a bit far. While we did watch one family with a smaller child walk from our neighborhood one day, it seems everyone else mostly drove golf carts over. The beach was beautiful, even on the tropical storm days. It was only "busy" one of the seven days we went. Oddly enough, that was on a Monday. Fort Morgan is a low key area. Basically two restaurants, one little store, and a Dollar General are available without making a 30 minute drive to Gulf Shores. It was exactly what we were looking for, but if you need access to "stuff" 24/7, this may be too far off the beaten path for you. We've never specifically discussed returning to the same place in the past, but we're already debating a two week stay next summer.
