Wonderful place to stay
The location and cleanliness were perfect. Communication from the property manager was quick and efficient. We loved staying here and would do so again. The elevator was a game changer for us, my mother is handicapped and it was incredibly helpful to have and use!

Fantastic property for 6 couples on Adult Retreat in Nag's Head
Beautiful, well-maintained 6 bdrm/ 6 ba house right on the beach. Large, wide decks on 2nd & 3rd levels overlooking the ocean. Dawn (owner) was a pleasure to work with (Thanks Dawn!). The hot tub was OOC during our stay, but it didn't affect our plans.

Amazing Birthday Trip!
This is a very special property! It has beautiful views of the ocean and the rest of Nagshead. The house is very clean, spacious, and it allows dogs. My family went there in February to celebrate my birthday and it was a truly wonderful experience! Thank you so much for sharing this special home with us!

Magical Beachfront
This was an awesome experience. Waking up and going to sleep to the sounds of the ocean was soothing and breathtaking. The location to access to the beach was also a beautiful experience. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and the middle floor bedrooms had private access to the balcony overlooking the beach. The manager of the property was wonderful and made sure our stay was awesome. I would recommend this property a thousand times over. Our party of 12 adults were comfortable and we felt at home.

Fantastic Stay would Recommend
This was one our top vacations ever. This house is right on the beach, no dune to cross, no road, RIGHT ON THE BEACH. We say ocean life everyday including a whale at one point! Great location only minutes from fast food, better restaurants, Food Lion, mini golf, and more more more. Without hesitations I would recommend this house. We went each of the last two years and stayed here and if ever in OBX again we will try to stay there again.

Beautiful Home Best Ever Location
We had a wonderful vacation in this amazing location. The beach was beautiful, the house layout was great. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen with decks overlooking and close to the water. The hot tub was fantastic at the end of a beach day or just anytime. The panoramic view from the living area could not have been better. The only not perfect part was just a few minor issues - sand in one bed, coffee maker not so clean. Overall I would highly recommend this house.

Six Days at the Pompous Pelican
Great location in Nags Head, not far from the Outlets. The Pompous Pelican is a wonderful house. Everything was clean and ready for us. Plenty of space for me, the misses and our pup. Spectacular, unblocked view of the ocean from the top floor… even better from the deck! Note: the photos show a walkway directly to the beach. This is now filled in by a 6’ high sand dune. We were able to climb over it to get to the beach but used the public beach access to return home. Overall, 5 stars.

The house and location are perfect. We were a little disappointed with the lack of a few basic items like extra blankets, throw blankets, coffee filters, trash bags, cooking oil and basic spices like salt, pepper, etc. Those few extras would have made the place much cozier.

Lovely and spacious
We visited during Memorial Day week and the weather was dreary, but the home is in a great location with beautiful views and we had a relaxing time. Hot tub was a nice amenity for rainy days. Large open central space on third floor, and surrounding decks on two stories were wonderful. Ground floor with hot tub also has enough space under cover for cooking on grill and serving family meals. One AC unit needed to be serviced, but the property manager was responsive and working on it. We would return!

Family vacation
The location of the Pompous Pelican was fabulous, the family was on the deck watching the ocean and the dolphins several times a day. There was plenty of room for the 12 of us. There were several minor issues, a broken shower head, a broken tile in the kitchen but nothing that interfered with our vacation. We lost internet and TV for almost 24 hours but not the fault of the owner.

Awesome Beach House
Wonderful house; easiest beach access ever; can easily see your family at the beach from the house; super well stocked kitchen with new pots and pans and knives that actually cut; spacious bedrooms with plenty of clothes storage; large hot tub and an elevator to help haul supplies and suitcases in and out. The owners responded really promptly to any inquiries before and during our stay. If your family has volume control issues with adults playing cards at night and little ones who are noisy at the crack of dawn ... you will want white noise machines for the upper bedrooms (but that's true at most beach houses too). A really great vacation home!!!

We love this house!
This was the third time my family has stayed at the Pompus Pelican. We adore this house! The views are amazing and we love having a bathroom in each bedroom. The kitchen is huge and accommodates large meals. Having an extra refrigerator on the ground floor is very convenient. This trip was the first time we saw roaches in the house. I contacted the property manager and she sent an exterminator the very next day . Renata was very helpful and prompt. Looking forward to booking our next trip!!

Perfect beach front home for families.
We had a wonderful time at the Pompous Pelican last week. The house was great. 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor were well laid out, with 2 king rooms and 2 double queen rooms. The 3rd floor had 2 king rooms and the large living room and kitchen. We loved the under counter ice maker. The only improvements I would suggest would be better/larger skillets, and a larger refrigerator on the main level. This is not a complaint, we absolutely loved the house. Thank you for letting make a ton of memories at your home.

Wonderful Views! Kind Owners! Loved staying here!
This house is as wonderful! We have a great time staying here! While my husband was unable to join us, the house provided an amazing stay for our children & their fiancé’s. Unfortunately, during our stay, we had to say Goodbye to our 10 year old English Bulldog. He enjoyed his last few days on the beach. Roanoke Island Animal Clinic provided such loving care & comfort during the last few moments of his precious life. We strongly recommend them for any animal care needed during you Outer Banks Experience. I am thankful to Dawn for allowing us to stay in her beautiful home, & answering any questions I had. We hope to enjoy another family vacation at The Pompous Pelican. ❤️

A wonderful tme
The Pompous Pelican was everything we hoped it would be. The view was fantastic from inside (even when it rained!), and out. We had 9 family members in at different intervals, and we were never crowded or on top of each other. The kitchen was spacious and comfortable. Despite a barrage of groceries, snacks, and beverages that we dragged in with us, there was still plenty of room to function--both for big family meals, and "everyone fend for yourselves" meals. Between all of use, we took advantage of all of the amenities--the grill and picnic tables, the hot tub, the washer and dryer. Everything was in great order. It was a dream trip for the entire family.

Awesome Family Vacation!
This large 6 bedroom/6 bathroom is wonderfully located on the corner of a loop in South Nags Head. We all loved being able to walk right out onto the beach, and the views were amazing from the decks where there is plenty of seating. It is located south of Jeanette’s Pier, so not as busy as further north with traffic and beach goers. The kitchen/dining area/eating area was very large, and could easily accommodate our entire party. We loved that every room has a view of the ocean due to the way the house was built, and we could even hear the sounds of the ocean with the windows closed! The house has everything you need - multiple coffeepots, pans, pots, toasters, griddle, blenders, , dishes etc. If you like a kuerig - bring that with you. Also, be sure to bring your own beach chairs to sit on the beach, and propane if you want to grill. The bedroom doors are louvered and there are no room darkening shades, so if you are sensitive to light / sound, I’d bring earplugs and a sleeping mask.

Wonderful Family Reunion at the Pompous Pelican
We absolutely loved our stay at the Pompous Pelican and would definitely stay again!! The location is amazing and the property owner/manager was easy to work with. The unique layout--each bedroom having its own private bathroom-- perfectly accommodated our family of four sets of adult couples. The upstairs layout is spacious and open with a very comfortable living area, large dining area, and a beautiful, well-stocked kitchen. It was the ideal spot for spending time together. The ocean views were stunning and we enjoyed our long walks on the beach. The mattresses were on the softer side for us but we are self-admittedly particular about our mattress firmness. The front door was a bit weather-worn and hard to open but that may be due to humidity. Our only recommendation would be to clearly warn people not to park their vehicles under the home. We almost pulled one of the cars into the left bay to make room on the driveway for the other couples' vehicles. Thankfully we didn't as there was a one foot drop-off and could have seriously damaged our car. It looks like some repair work was being done in that area which we did not notice upon our arrival. Had it been nighttime, we easily would have missed it. Overall, we are thrilled with our choice and highly recommend staying at this truly special beach home!
