Wonderful stay!

We LOVED this waterfront condo! The porch was big and perfect to eat enjoy the water view. There was plenty of space inside with an open lay out. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The other big perk was being able to walk to the waterfront restaurants and ice cream. Kids also loved it too! Woukd definitely come back :)

Nautical Views

Pelican’s Harbour is a beautiful property! Overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and Morningstar Marina, it is close enough to walk to restaurants, shops and other attractions in “Downtown historic Southport”. The condo was extremely clean, is well appointed and has everything you need for your stay. We even appreciated the elevator!

Best waterfront place to stay in Southport!

This condo has a beautiful view of the waterfront and intracoastal from the 2nd floor deck. Downtown walking (5-10 min) to over a dozen restaurants plus a seafood market. All appliances in perfect working order and practically new. Cookware, dinnerware, utensils best we’ve seen in a VRBO. Three modern large TV’s and internet all working perfectly. Laura and Randy are the best hosts! We will be coming back- our dog Lily insists! We lived in Southport for 11 years. We know this is the best place to stay for a Southport vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Laura & Randy Strickland

Host profile image
Thanks for your investigating a stay at Pelican Harbor @ Harborside! We are the owners and property managers. We enjoy the opportunity to share Southport and this beautiful condo with guests/visitors. We take pride in working to make your stay a positively memorable experience. The beauty of Southport mesmerized us the first time we come over on the ferry many years ago. Our love of the area pulled us back year after year as we dreamed to make Southport our home one day. We were fortunate to acquire Pelican Harbor @ Harborside 12 years ago and have a desire to share the area with others who enjoy the community as much as we do, or are visiting for the first time.
I have a passion for making homemade soaps filled with essential oils, shea aloe butter and exfoliants. We provide guests a few of my soaps to use during their stay. We welcome you to come rest and relax at Pelican Harbor!

Why they chose this property

The condo’s location is in the heart of Southport. The opportunity to watch the happenings at the Morningstar Marina, views look out towards Old Baldy and the Oak Island lighthouses. You can watch as small boats and large ships move within the water channels. People and dogs walking by and birds flying and/or exploring the marsh provide constant entertainment. Watching the tidal changes within the Salt Marsh and all the boating activity provides a truly relaxing experience. Fishing options are right outside your door including a small public city pier a block away and the city fishing pier about 0.5 miles away. The bird watching opportunities are also amazing. Caswell Beach is just a short drive over to Oak Island, so within a few minutes of leaving the condo you can be walking on the beach next to the Oak Island Lighthouse instead of looking across the water at it. Southport truly is a relaxation destination and Pelican Harbor is a perfect place to take it all in!

What makes this property unique

The view of the water restores the mind and calms the soul.
