The chef-ready kitchen comes fully stocked with Fiestaware dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and both drip and Keurig coffeemakers, plus an in-unit washer and dryer.

Pelican Beach Resort's newly expanded pool deck includes a zero-entry outdoor pool, a separate indoor/outdoor pool, a kiddie pool, a large outdoor spa with bench seating, and two hot tubs, alongside a fitness center, sauna, game room, and sun deck.
