We have been coming to the Tipsy Pelican for 3 years now and love the memories we have made there. It's clean, cozy and convenient to both the beach (easy walk) and the amenities of Avon.
It was a great vacation property that held my small friend group. Very close stay to the beach and was helpful with not needing to drive. Cute small beach town that makes it feel like home.
We had a great time relaxing at the Tipsy Pelican. The outdoor and screened in porches were great and we were pleasantly surprised to find a washer and dryer. The 1.5 baths were enough for us and the walk to the beach is quick and easy.
This is a great house! Very clean, kitchen well stocked, beds are comfortable and it is in the perfect location. Not a far walk to the beach and only a short drive to the sound. Grocery store is not far. Avon is a great little town to stay in.
We had a great experience at the Tipsy Pelican and in the OBX! The house is in a great location to walk to the beach! It offers all the amenities you would expect and anything you would need in the kitchen! There were plenty of books and games to borrow as well. We enjoyed the screened in space outside in the evenings. Overall, a great experience! Definitely coming back!
The family had a great week at the beach. Location was great. The house was right size for a 5 person family.
The one complaint was cleanliness of the property. There were cigarette butts all over the outside. We found trash and used q-tips on the floor. The screens on the porch also had holes leading to bugs getting in.
This was our first visit to this home and it won't be the last. It was very clean and had everything we needed. I loved the decor throughout the house. The screened in porch was nice to relax with a glass of wine. It also helped with keeping beach towels, flip flops, etc. out of the house to avoid tracking in the sand.
The only complaint and it had absolutely nothing to do with the property, was the extremely hot sand from the dune to the beach. We had a very hot week, temps with humidity in excess of 100 for a few days. If you have little ones, please be aware..
Our family enjoyed the Dairy Queen at the end of the street. We had some really nice meals at Pangea Tavern, The Froggy Dog, Oceana's Bistro and Ketch 55. A visit to Stu's Food Truck at the Avon Pier is a MUST! And, we had the best steamed shrimp from Sunrise Seafood.
I would recommend this place for a laid- back relaxing vacation!
We have been coming to OBX for over 20 years, and Avon for over 13. We enjoyed the convenience of the location of the property, and the quaint aspect of Tipsy Pelican. Other than the miscommunication in regards to having the home cleaned in time for our check in, we had a fantastic time, and would stay here again.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
Nice little house surrounded by taller homes
Bottom line - We enjoyed our stay. It’s decorated cute and is a fine size for 3 couples. However, the house wasn’t the cleanest:
-We moved the twin beds together to find a dead cockroach under the bed.
-Dishes weren’t clean (this is the responsibility of the renters and isn’t quality checked) and the floors and kitchen could use a good cleaning.
-We were missing pillow cases in our linen package.
-Bring hand soap and laundry detergent as it’s not included. You’ll probably also need more toilet paper than what is provided.
Also we did not receive our check in information/email in advance but I called the hosts the day of arrival and they told me the code to get in. I’m guessing there’s some kind of glitch in the system because they said they sent it and resent it.
We had a great time at this property. So close to the beach and we went down multiple times a day. The house was clean and had great A/C. The enclosed porch area was a big plus to keep bugs out. We will consider this place again and recommend it!
This was a great spot three homes from the beach. Quiet neighborhood street. Easy beach access. Close to all the restos and Food Lion. Had plenty of kitchen equipment and diverse seating areas - open, screened porch, and indoor. Loved our stay!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Tipsy Pelican. It was nice to be able to bring our dog on vacation with us especially since not many places welcome pets. However, the Outer Banks was very pet friendly in general. The house was a great space with enough room for 5 people to spread out. The access to the beach was only a few feet away and it was also close to many little shops, eateries, and the grocery store. The house had everything we needed besides the towels and paper products. It was great having a full service kitchen including a dishwasher all week. I really liked have the option of sitting outside on either the deck or in the screened porch, the deck had a gate so our dog could sit outside with us. Avon is a little outside of where people stay in the Outer Banks, but we really enjoyed the low key and uncrowded feel of the town and beaches.
This house was perfect for myself, my husband and our 4 girls. It was clean and the decor was so cute!! We had an amazing week at the Tipsy Pelican and would 100% book again!!
This is our second stay at Tipsy Pelican. We love the layout of the home and the proximity to beach, shops and wonderful restaurants. It is a great size for our family of five. Great deck and enclosed porch. Grateful for our time here! Be sure to bring paper products like toilet paper and paper towels (fyi). Food Lion is close and convenient.
Check in was suppose to be at 4:00. We asked for early check in and was told that we could not get in til after 5:00. Owner stated that we could use the screened in porch and bathrooms, then hit the beach. I thought that was very considerate!
We were so happy with the house. Clean, comfy, welcoming. The screened in porch was used all the time, every day. Quiet & friendly neighborhood. The short walk to the beach was very convenient. Such a relaxing week for us.
This was our second visit to The Tipsy Pelican and we had another wonderful visit! The house was just a lovely as it was in 2015 .The owners are available and easy to communicate with and have everything we needed to enjoy our vacation! Would highly recommend to any of our friends!
