My wife and I stayed there 2 nights. The rooms are clean. You will get a small and simple breakfast. The town is a low income area without much to do. There are two only a couple of places to eat plus only Subway and DQ. The building is a nice historical place.

My husband and I were looking for a peaceful getaway where we could "chill-lax"(a word we learned from my son, combo of chill-out and relax). The Peaceful Pelican was the perfect B & B to achieve this goal. From the time we arrived and were greeted by Edith, the owner, we knew we had made the correct choice. The Magnolia Room allowed us to view the bay, sunrises, and the magnificant magnolia tree from our 2nd story windows. Edith hosted welcoming happy hours and delicious breakfasts. What I found very interesting, is there were other couples and a family staying at the Peaceful Pelican that were on the same quest to find a peaceful getaway. It was fun chatting with them in the garden room, rocking on the front porch, and around the front patio table. Before venturing out, we were able to obtain excellent suggestions and recommendations about some of the activities we could do in the surrounding area from Edith. Also, ask her about Spoonbills Restaurant in Matagora, it is truly a hidden treasure as far as incredible food and service. My husband and I are definitely going to return to continue to explore this interesting peaceful shrimping town.

What a wonderful place! The Peaceful Pelican truly is PEACEFUL. Three of my girlfriends and I spent the night there. We stayed on the third floor suite. It was amazing how relaxed we felt after months of school! If you are pondering staying here DO NOT REJECT your instincts that are telling you to book a room RIGHT NOW! We loved the champange massage tub in our bathroom. (We each took 3 baths!) The breakfast was amazing! We ate dinner at PMR, Tran's, and had a relaxing day of swimming, shopping, and just being girls! This is the perfect spot to come to escape city life. We enjoyed listening to Edith telling her wonderful life stories and entertaining the other guests! We are planning to return every year now! The locals in this wonderful shrimping town are so nice and polite! We sat for hours on a bench by the 1.5 mile long seawall talking to runners and fishermen! BOOK A ROOM NOW!!! :)
